Hello Warriors,
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the latest Warrior’s Den Livestream. I’ve included the VOD below for anyone that missed. This week covered gear stat overhaul, new maps & characters, and much more! Take a look, and comment below with questions you have for next week!

I understand the gears overhaul thing. I just don't like the fact that I have invested in some of those weapon skills that have been removed from the game, because the game data states that too few players were using them (i.e., Sprint speed; Block Damage resistance; Feat Cooldown reduction; Throw distance). There will always be players who follow the OP hand no matter how often the devs re-balance the stats. Why bother investing in these weapons going forward when the game data will tell them the same thing in season 2? Will the devs revamp the stats yet again? Of course they will for season 3. We have to expect that. And so it makes no sense to waste resources when modifying them because they're going to be overhauled to another extreme.
Those four skills they eliminated are still good to have around. I doubt they will restore them in any of those six gears. The only way to bring them back is by adding two more gears for players to be equip with, like gloves and boots. Merging those two revenge skills I applaud; Adding a new one, Defense Penetration, bravo. And having that penalty to be penalizing, about time. But sticking with only six gears is too little. Add two more. Then it would make more sense in the long run.
Just my two steel.

Not sure where to really post this, but I was going to ask a question for next week's livestream or just to be answered in general concerning season 2's new gear level.
Due to the randomness of how particular gear is acquired, I have just now at Rep6, got my Berzerker in the gear with the "look" that I wanted and to max gear level. This took some time and a lot of crates to get the pieces with the look that I wanted due to the system you have in place of only being able to change the look of gear of the same gear level. Since I dont like the gold look on my viking gear, I favor more rugged looking skins for things.
Now after all this time, blood, tears, steel (some earned and some purchased), its seems that I am being told all that effort was for not, as I will now have to not only loot a new level of gear with the right stats, but I will also have to find the skins for the gear that I want to have for the look I wish to achieve. This to me seems to be punishing me for my labors in Season 1 without any course of saving the look of my champions.
Personally, I do not like the current system of how items need to be on the same gear level to change their look. I understand it for higher level gear, but certain looks only become available at the higher gear levels. This is fine, but why are we punished for wanting to take the look for lower end gear? I am sure that this new level of gear will have its own unique looking gear, so why make it where the gear can change its look for items of the same gear level and lower, but not higher? This will enable users to have more options to have various looks amoungst all the players, without having a Rep1 champion running around with the look of a Rep7 champion.
Reading some other posts on the matter, I do really like the idea of changing the look of gear by using SCRAP instead of STEEL, this idea should be explored more. Also was the idea of a Transmog Log for each player that allows the visual plans of gear discovered by the player to be stored and used later on for a visual change without the need of keeping the gear in the soon to be swindling inventory spaces on each champion with the new level of gear. With 3 loadouts and me liking to keep each loadout visually distinct, this system holds a LOT of merit and should be discussed HEAVILY.
As it stands now, this new level of gear seems a rather cheap way to force users into using steel and or buying crates to not only get the new level of gear, but also the look they've already worked towards. I hope you can address this concern and keep champions looking good while killing on the battlefield. Thank You.

i dont understand why everyone is crying about the new gear... its like "oh look they bring a new addon for WoW / Division / Diablo / Desteny with new and better items but i just wanna stay at my old sh!tty gear cuz i have worked hard for it and im too lazy to play this game anymore" i rly dont get it.. im hyped for the new gear.. finaly i can search new items which suits my Heros better its like a new Quest ... okay you have spent money on the game for steel so what? No one told you to. You can make 10K Steel in 1 Week !! And every 2-Weeks you get free Lootboxes and once a moth (or so) you get 2000 Steel / or Boxes from an Event (i hope the rewards will be better in future XD).
And yes there shoul be a Wardrobe so you can change the look from your gear with gear you have found in this game.. cuz 60 Itemslots are a joke XD <--- UBI how about this?

What a cool stream. I was excited to see how designers work on maps and characters. It also shows how much work and people need to make one map, how much detail you need to fine-tune. These people are real artists. So cool to watch Thanks for the interesting stream and please for more! for me the best stream of all. thanks!

Amazing stream. New maps are gorgeous and I'm really happy that they are made for all game modes. Also thanks for answering my questions, I'm glad that I'll be able to keep doing Alpha Spin just because it looks badass
I have a question for the next stream:
In terms of future development do you plan to expand the existing heroes kits, add new combos/chains etc?

To be honest I'm still pretty damn confused about the whole thing. So essentially all of us who have worked damn hard to get multiple heroes to 108 are now being told that all that work and steel that we've put into the game is worthless and that with stat changes we're going to have to get all that gear again from scratch to make up to the new level and what th echanges mean.
This feels quite unfair for those of us who have put so much time into the game despite all the frequent game crashes and problems that have beset this title from the beginning. I would like to know how this is going to be addressed in a future dev stream, and have to back Camoclad up on their points.
Metal4.theCore, we're not complaining about earning new gear as we have put a lot of time into the title, what we're upset about is that all of the work that we've put in has been pretty much for naught now. The only fair way for them to deal with it would be to return all steel, scrap as well as earned boxes to the players and let them start again on their builds. Oh wait they won't do that as it'll cost them a fair amount and why do the players a favour when they can screw extra micro transactions for those of us who have helped keep the title afloat despite the problems.
