Subject: Burning Crusade Gear Progression |
| |
There has been quite a bit of discussion on the boards lately concerning how current end-game gear will be replaced upon leveling in the Burning Crusade and we thought that many of you would appreciate some clarification. The basic idea is that players who have recently obtained level 60 will gain access to immediate upgrades from expansion quests and creatures. Our exact estimates as to when tier 3 gear will become outdated have shifted back and forth somewhat as we continue to tune the expansion, however not dramatically so. While we do anticipate players wearing full tier 3 gear to find some upgrades/sidegrades from new endgame dungeons, the big draw will be in Karazahn and higher.
Please keep in mind that this information is simply meant to provide everyone with some insight into this process, and much like any aspect of game play that's still in development, it's subject to change.

Q u o t e:
These translations are getting more and more uncreative and predictable everyday :P
/Agreed
Karazahn is capped at 10-players. It's designed to be content that's accessible for everyone -- with a great risk vs. reward factor.

Guys, by "higher" I meant more difficult. I'm not discussing raid size here. I wanted to give you some insight into how itemization will evolve in the Burning Crusade, and provided two extremes -- those who just hit 60 and those who've acquired the highest quality gear currently available. I'll leave you to theorycraft the in between for now, such as players in full blue dungeon gear -- but please don't digress the topic just for the sake of argument.
While it doesn't seem like much, I worked hard to get this bit of information posted today. If every bit of detail we provide concerning the expansion continues to be ripped to shreds, we'll likely just begin waiting for the beta to reveal its many elements.
