Opinions on Epic+ armors

[Joshx135]

They need to stop raising the stats now, and just release a plethora of different elements around the same stats.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Like others have already mentioned in this thread, I feel like epics are so imbalanced atm that being at an elemental disadvantage against legendaries is not even a concern anymore. You just cut through them like butter.

Being released too quickly. The combined stats of the "best armor in the game" has increased 800 points in the interval of a month.

I call BS on this. The current best armor is Beastmaster+ at 3513. Taking 800 of this yields 2713, which means that according to you all these armors have been release in the past month:

Beastmaster's Battlegear+ 3513
Maelstorm Irons+ 3480
Forgestone Aegis+ 3477
Tectonic Mantle Armor+ 3473
Blazeborne Vanguard + 3413
Cloudrange Platemail + 3231
Maelstorm Irons 3174
Forgestone Aegis 3170
Tectonic Mantle Armor 3167
Beastmaster's Battlegear 3104
Blazeborne Vanguard 3063
Moontide Platemail + 3022
Cloudrange Platemail 2929

That being said, it be nice to release all elemental combinations ~3500, then make a generational tick, and do it all over again at ... 3700-3800?

They should have never made epics with over 3200 combined stats.

Also non-plus Blazeborn is 3113 combined stats

Highest stat armor as of 25/07/2013 was aegis of the dragon+
Highest stat armor as of 29/08/2013 was tectonic mantle+

Around a month apart, 758 stat difference. It is rounded data, but it is around 800 and around a month.

Actually moontide came out at the end of July in the dragon chest if I'm not wrong.

Seriously though, when I started Aegis of the Dragon dominated and I was pumped when I got one. Now its a joke and I haven't pulled anything good since therefore leaving me in the dust.

Speaking as someone who only had a Moon non+ up until Beast Chest, I can say that I think the biggest problem you all have are crappy guild bonuses. I said months ago they need to release a ton of legends of varied elemental varieties & they seemed to be doing it but steamplate+ was the last of this generation if I remember correctly. Revenue must have been way, way down. Now we have epics, & you still can't fuse + of anything. The playing field seems unchanged to me, maybe focus on guild bonuses. Beast is an almost blatantly balanced armor, & I assure you, old epics will be fine against new epics for awhile, that's why we have element combos. ps. All non+ epics still really suck, so don't hyperfocus & try for the new EB+ armors that are becoming viable.

Yep, it did, but before it was aegis of the dragon, which was the strongest until the release of moontide. Aegis was still the strongest on 25/07 before the release of moontide.

[Sparkle_DPA]

Ah yes, the moment when u know someone that has over 5 beastmaster armors and not a single one is a +. Based off that, you can say that sometimes a + epic armor will cost around a thousand dollars, lmao. Giant wtf moment for me.

[anuarreyes]

New epic combined plus 3565/3152 non plus water spirit so moontide is out of decente epics

[Synovia]

They are increasing legendary+ to match so I wouldn't fret too much.

Legendary+ armors are more than 1000 points weaker than Epic + armors. They're not even close to matching. Even with elemental advantage, the person with the Legendary+ still loses.

That's why you can have 3 armors in any order you want. Crazy concept, right? Unless you're in RR & guaranteed a war epic+, the playing field is unchanged. Find a better guild imo. Or buy beast chests 1 at a time.

[D3athShade]

Armors for few peoples. I think there are less than some hundreds of epic plus, cause if you have one 1)you won guild wars) 2)you spent hundreds of dollars on chests 3) you got a crazy luck at the lottle chests you bought.
Those armors are really overpowered and are unbalancing the game.
Different story for epics regulars. The little difference( still 500-700 ) in stats dont destroy the game balance, cause ecept blazebornes and tectonics, there are not many.

Or you fused one? I got my Blazeborn through fusion a few weeks back and got my tectonic from beast chest.

[Oyster]

Completely overpowered.

Agreed.

I don't know what the intention of this game creating stronger and stronger armors. It ruins the game balance. Strategy is pretty much pointless, it's just a number game. The higher the armor you have the more likely you win.
