People posting the nonsense that buying steel gives you an advantage have NOT played the game enough to understand anything about it. Here's some information for people that want the ACTUAL facts regarding how purchasing steel will function.
1. You cannot buy high level gear. PERIOD.
2. You can ONLY buy crates which give you random gear drops for that one character.
3. The drops are based on your Reputation level on that one character. *Reputation 0, level 1-6 gear (does basically nothing, all for looks really). *Reputation 1, (takes a good 10 to 15 hours of gameplay to hit) level 7-12. *Reputation 3, (takes a good 40+ hours to get to), level 13-18'ish. And so on.
4. There is matchmaking. The game tries to match you with players at similar rep levels. If someone buys as much gear as possible at say, reputation 1, they might have a total gear level of like 42'ish. they will get in matches against others with similar.
5. Gear ONLY COUNTS in 4v4 modes. It doesn't do anything 2v2's and 1v1's which is where the real competitive scene happens.
6. You get MORE THAN ENOUGH steel from leveling up (because you have to play matches and do dailies etc... to level) to fully max out your gear level for every tier anyway!!
TLDR: Buying steel is a waste of money. It doesn't do anything to make you OP because gear doesn't make you OP anyway. It's almost a placebo. Also, not really important but, the Mythic Gear you can buy with steel is just a cosmetic outfit. It has no stats. It's just for looks.
My Credentials: 90 hours of gameplay through all 3 betas. 70 hours combined for the last two. Reputation 3 and max gear in the last one.

I've seen you in the other threads talking this nonsense. You have no idea what you're talking about and you obviously didn't play the game and can't read either....Originally Posted by VictusMortuus Go to original post
Did you even read my thread at all? There is ZERO advantage from buying steel. ZERO.

No, he posted a thread with actual FACTS so people like YOU will stop asking questions and/or spouting misinformed nonsense. This isn't opinion, this is how the gear system in this game actually WORKS.Originally Posted by Dinggle Go to original post

This is not an opinion. This is EXACTLY how the game works. There is no advantage to buying steel over someone that doesn't. You can only get level appropriate gear anyway and when you do NOT buy steel, you already get enough to buy all the gear you need AND upgrade it. There's literally no reason for buying Steel except for cosmetics.Originally Posted by Dinggle Go to original post

You guys are actually, all braindead, aren't you? Do you understand the post at all? What you just described isn't even possible. Also, if you think revenge builds are op then you don't understand how to play the game. They're super easy to deal with. Learn the game. Learn the gear system. Then post an argument with some facts that makes sense. As of right now you're just a troll cause you have no facts.Originally Posted by Mister.Genji Go to original post
