What happened to the awesome PVP gear?????

[WellFooled]

With CT lockout and the housing ~ scandal ~ this gear was the only thing I was actually looking forward too and I'm not even a fan of PvP. ;__; And now I don't even have that. I don't want reskins and even if the top tier weapon is new I really feel so upset by this, especially since the images say The Wolves Den on them.

I was so excited for so much... where did my dreams go? ;______;

Its all about keeping our expectations in check. We're getting everything they told us we would get. They showed us some armor they're working on, they didn't make any promises about when they would be introduced. I'm sure if SE could they would add this armor in now, but they have their reasons. So the only alternative is to never show us anything they're working on until right before they release it. I dunno about you, but I'd much rather them show us what they're cooking up ahead of time

isn't this the PvP gear?:

It's not the concept art we were shown before.. but maybe that gear is for when they make their cross server PvP matches? when ever that happens >.>;

It says "The Wolves' Den" right on the pictures. >_<

Goddamn it, Yoshi-P.

At least they added a ton of furniture...

I made an ungodly noise when I read this. It's true though. I just.

I...

Yeah.

H- hooray for... for furniture...... .

Found this on frontline
http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/intere...p-in-arr.1980/

"on front line, we are planning to implement it on patch 2.2 or 2.3 we’re talking which one it’s going to be on, it has higher probability of it being on 2.3 but once you go in, depending on your grand company the starting point changes so, you’re going to take over forts against other players. there are parts where crafters also comes to play. the frontline zones will be open for PVP 24hrs".

"This Coliseum will be introduced with patch 2.0, straight away after launch. Six months after launch, we're planning to also introduce another PVP called Frontline. This is more like a RvR - Realm versus Realm. This uses whole zones - it's a large-scale PVP".

So since we didn't have PVP at launch like CT looks like it will be close to 2.3 by the time we get Frontline.

Y'know the concept art says "Wolves' Den" on it, right? Any reasonable person would assume that said armor would be available from the Wolves' Den...

Instead, we get ugly recolors of existing models. And you're okay with that? I've never played an MMO before that relied so much on reusing the same damn armor models.

That's why I was like WTH when I didn't see the gear. We'll what can we do? I guess just get as much Wolf currency as possible.......

If you read the patch notes there's ilvl50 70 and 90 pvp gear and the ilvl90 pvp gear requires rank 30.

Guys, I found something nice:

Look closely what it says about dyes. This is a step in the right direction. Sure, we get to use same crappy models but now we can choose the color.

You're absolutely right, a reasonable person would be right to assume this armor would be available from the wolves den or even that it would be released alongside the wolves den. However, the Devs never said that it would be added with 2.1. So when 2.1 roles around and the gear isn't there a reasonable person would also think "Ah, I must have thought wrong" instead of insinuating that the Devs did something wrong, like some in the thread are.

I want this armor too, it looks awesome! I thought it would be added in 2.1 too! But just because its not doesn't mean the Devs did anything wrong, they just showed off some armor that's a couple patches away. We were the ones that made the incorrect assumption that it would be added with this patch.

And my personal opinion of the PvP gear we are getting is that it looks pretty cool Though this may be because I've never seen the armor that it is a recolor of (or at least I don't remember it), can you provide me with some info about it?
