    It might be just me but I think it's time to stop ncreasing the gap between the top tier gladiators and those below Blood Gods - the lvl 55 Legendary gear already totally overpowers anything which one could get in Primus and below and is considerably more powerful than even the lvl 50 oranges.

    Yes. You right, in my opinion.
    But how to raise interest in BG Season? Nate doing the good thing too...

    Hmmm. It's mb not another piece of gear, but new skin for a gear? As a reward. But i don't know how to hard to implement this feature...

    I had the same reaction as Kreegan. Instead of being more excited about the new gear, I sighed at the thought that all the gear I just spent 2 years and countless trophies collecting will now become obsolete. I still have many glads that haven't even maximized their current lvl 50-55 legendary gear yet.

    While I understand that making new gear is a proven way to get more managers to use trophies in the game, I would prefer to see changes to the game that make it more competitive and easier for newer managers to join the end-game and compete at the top level. For instance, instead of both making a new category of legendary gear and re-increasing the trophy cost of buying gear, what if instead the cost of buying gear for trophies was radically lowered? Like half or a quarter of what it is now? Then more people would be able to buy the gear to be competitive - and they could change gear if what they had wasn't working. That would make for a faster pace of competitive change in blood gods. As it is now, the same three glads have won the season for the past year.

    Right now, it takes me about 12 months to get enough BGP's to fully outfit one glad...and that's even when I would spend trophies to buy the weapons. If it took 3 months instead, it would make for a much more dynamic arena. I've a few glads that I tried things on only to discover they didn't work 12 months later.

    More competition = healthier game = happier managers imho

    Pretty much this, Blood gods is the top bracket for a reason but new glads get butchered in most cases

    Few years ago i'm already suggested to Nate set a property of "real durability" for gear. For example, by losing max durability at every repairing. And, if it 0, this piece of gear is unusable.

    This way, in my opinion, will reslove all the questions described in this topic:
    -- It allows to lower prices; // And, probably, it is the firest step.
    -- It allows to implement new gear whitout these Legendary Tiers;
    -- It allows not only raise average "power" of gear, but also lower it, if needed;
    -- It allows just forget "increasing the gap between the top tier gladiators and those below Blood Gods";
    -- It will give stable revenues from the sale ... Instead these jumps of Legendary Tiers...

    In simple words, it seems it's a good decision...
    But since it has not done for years, something wrong with this decision...

    I don't realy like degrading gear, but permanent loss is unacceptable.
    It think this is a horrible idea, as you have to search for the gear with the right stats then it is gone after some time and now you have to search for it again.
    Yes, gear could be cheaper, but you would need more vault space to hold the spare gear. Players who have more vault space can stock up on replacements, while others have to go for a suboptimal one.

    It won't solve anything. It only adds more frustration.
    I have returned once more and it seems I'm here to stay.

    It's true only if "gear with right stats" is so rare. And if these gear pieces are so expensive.
    It's just a questions of some digits... But not the principal things.
    There may be an option to renew every piece of s...gear. There is a lots of ways...

    // For me, every gladiator which has good equipment is just the gladiator with the good equipment. It's not some sort of Legends. Legends are not because they have nice hats.
    But it's my own opinion.

    But i'm tired to solve these "Complex problems" about Pit of War now. For me it's time to leave this forum for a while.

    Good luck.

    I agree with Ogornomus, it's a horrible idea.

    OMG. Seraph Madigant was still in the running for this prize until he got himself knocked out in one shot by his buddy Seraph Zeta. Haha - oh well
