Direwolf Equipment

So yeah, it looks like this stuff is PvP obtainable only, but can be used outside of PvP (with a small penalty)

People are not going to be pleased with this.

Except it's missing stats. Just like PVP gear in every other MMO ever.
It only has 1 stat + morale (most gear has like, Crit + Skill Speed, this has like, Crit + Morale)

This is fine. My body is ready for pvp.

Cannot equip if PvP rank is below 30.
Materia effects active during PvP only.

If you are good enough to get the ilvl 90 pvp gear, you are good enough to get the ilvl 90 pve gear so there would be no reason to gimp yourself in pve with pvp gear.

So.. White armor PVP is ilvl 90 while Blue armor is ilvl 70

Just me or anyone felt that white is a bit plain to compare blue armor?
:confused:

Hm Didnt saw that part, I guess that will do slightly help it.. but still looking at detail, blue armor seem have way more detail than white does. That might be just me o_o;

So.. um.. what happened to that sweet looking animal themed PvP gear they showed a while back? Its the main reason i've been excited for PvP this whole time

I completely agree. I'm mainly looking at the BRD gear, which goes from super sweet detailed gear with a cool wolf helm to stuff that looks really similar to gear I was wearing at level 20 :/

Being stuck in reskinned brayflox gear for pvp endgame is meh

I was also mistakenly under the impression that the animal gear would be in this patch, unfortunately.

With housing what it is, CT and Extreme lockouts and all, I was really holding onto animal gear. I feel so sad right now. :(

That Gear seems to be either from higher PVP-Ranks, or i believe i heard somewhere those Sets are actually for Frontline PvP.

Having a penalty for using PvP gear outside of PvP is fine. Gear actually has a specific purpose for once in this game. PvP gear is primarily used for PvP, it's as simple as that. In fact, you will likely be just as gimped by using PvE gear in PvP. You can probably use PvP gear for PvE so a player that's primarily PvP focused can do PvE easier.
