Have you gated upgrade parts behind Hunts AGAIN, SE!?

Wednesday is going to be crazy.

If you don't want to do hunts you can do Void Ark weekly clear for an upgrade item.

do you get tokens from voidark or is it loot rolling or what

Tokens.

I don't understand why you use word "gated"?
Many people already have full 210 sets, so how can the upgrade items be "gated"?
Also you can get the upgrade items for Void Ark too.

Hunts aren't the only way to get the items. If you don't like hunts, just stick to the Void Ark and upgrade slowly.
I am kinda glad about hunts, because I use it as some casual time killer, just running around maps and waiting for spawns in party while watching films. Unfortunately I have already upgraded everything I wanted.

Someone in my FC has stated that upgrade parts are, yet again, gated behind hunts.

They're wrong. The upgrade parts that are being added originally drop from Alexander: Gordias (Savage). Now they'll be added to Centurio Hunts and Void Ark's reward system. They will not be gated behind Hunts. Please do not spread misinformation out of reaction.

You're just going to get people mad AGAIN at the hunts, SE.

Or you can just do the daily/weekly bills and only do Elite Marks if they're nearby or you just feel like it. Doing hunts after the initial zergs die down is actually relaxing and enjoyable.

Just stick glamour stuff into hunts and call it a day, PLEASE.

And make the process of catching up a tedious chore? Sounds like a plan.

Don't make it essential.

This is funny because it's not. Hunting is simply just one method out of few to get upgrade materials. Nothing more.

As other people have already said, no, they haven't gated them behind hunts. You will be able to upgrade all your Esoterics armor and accessories (but not weapon) without ever doing a single hunt.

Hunts will probably be the fastest way to garner multiple upgrade items though, with both Alexander Savage and Void Ark being much more limited than hunts in how much you can feasibly acquire in a given week.

Right now, the checklist looks like this: 1) Do weekly's, 2) Hunt as much as possible

I just really wish I could actually avoid hunts without feeling like I'm falling behind, like I'm dragging my feet when everyone else in the group is putting up with hunts to progress through the content. But, I guess I've gotten used to the hunt funneling cycle they keep bringing back. A little depressing, really.

If you're going to upgrade your eso gear through hunts, you've already fallen behind.

You're months behind in fact.

Or you just didn't run the content where the upgrade mats were.

Which means you're behind.
