I've been wishing they would make the 24-man gear able to be upgraded for awhile. The game would benefit from the availability of more stat combinations for high end gear. 24-man raids would be more attractive to the general populace, and (most importantly for me), many of the pieces have nice and/or unique models but the locked color schemes make them difficult to use for glamour. Since most upgraded gear becomes dyable, it's reasonable that upgradable Void Ark gear would be as well.
All in favor of this change, especially with the difficulty spike in the hard raiding content compared to ARR's raids
Please let us upgrade Void Ark gear.

11-27-2015, 08:24 AMYonanjaYou do realize that having the VA gear upgradable in the same way that current eso gear is, wouldn't actually give anyone 210 items any faster, but rather give them some more options? Or are YOU high and can't see this?Quote:

11-27-2015, 08:31 AMAlahraWe do know from various comments by Yoshi-P over the past couple years that they monitor gear acquisition rather carefully, though, and while this probably wouldn't have a huge impact on the overall average item level of the playerbase, it would raise it at least to some degree, as there are players that don't purchase "bad" tomestone pieces but who don't raid. Players that do so would likely end up having more i210 pieces as a result. They'd also probably have less incentive to tackle the hard raid content (folks not doing Coil was the whole reason we got the upgrade system for tomestone gear in the first place). That might be a concern to the development team that would prevent them from implementing a change like this.Quote:

I agree with this. I just bought a gobtwine with the clan hunt logs I farmed my ass off for and realized I can't use them at all... Very dissapointing.

I see the raiders gathering their pitchforks and torches. :)

I'm trying to switch mains at the moment. Restarting the entire esoterics grind just to get a piece to upgrade to 210 is bothersome to say the least. Upgrading void ark stuff would have been nice.

11-27-2015, 10:01 AMBhuniActually it would as they don't need to spend two weeks farming Eso to get an Eso chest piece for example, are we playing the same game?Quote:

It takes around two weeks to raise up the tomes for one piece of AF2 (no, the belt and accessories don't count as AF2), three if you want the weapon. You can get a Void Ark drop in one run of Void Ark if you're lucky, two or three runs if you're persistent. The math doesn't reconcile.Quote:

I personally don't want the void ark gear to be able to be upgraded, it would devalue the Esoteric gear that takes eons to farm.

Except if:
- you just started to farm ESO
- you cleared A3S for ages and got tons of coat
- you farm hunt like crazy
you have much more ESO i200 items that coats. So I don't know why letting us upgrade VA items to 210 would be a problem...
