New Gear Rarity. Who will open crates before rep 5 | Forums

[xSkeletalx]

It was mentioned on Warrior's Den and I found in on some summary on YT:

This graph was specifically to show the increase in gear score/stats over the two Seasons. In Season 2 you will have a faster increase in gear stats early in the gear tiers, which slows down as you increase tiers. It has nothing to do with leveling up, gaining Reputation levels, or even how often you will get gear.

As for the OP's questions, anyone who currently opens crates for gear before Rep 3 is already collecting items which will be replaced at Rep 3 when purple gear becomes available. The Season 2 changes are no different, and the purpose of it is to allow further progression and stop people from maxing out at Rep 3, which was far too soon anyway, in my opinion. I am a Warlord main approaching Rep 15, with a Rep 3 Berserker and a few Rep 1 heroes as well. My Warlord will be able to gain new gear right away, but I will need to spend some time playing the other characters up to Rep 5.

None of this is a problem for me, as I really enjoy the game and play it for fun, but it's awesome that we will theoretically see gear score increases (and IMO more importantly we will be getting new visual options for our characters) and associated Rep requirements as we get new Seasons. I think it will inspire people to improve their play and work on their favorite characters, and who doesn't want more people playing For Honor regularly?

i think we have some misunderstanding. i know about the gear in which the increase of stats is lesser compare to lower gear. but leveling of hero is the same. no change. moreover we get 25% more exp increase

Hi Sir. In conclusion, will still have to push all characters to rep 5 than start opening crates. nobody is going to open crate before that and also waste mats to upgrade and change look. grind and grind and grind!

Can you share what are the new stats and build u going for?

Yeah I think I jumped to fast to my conclusion - sorry for that. I've checked those graphs again by layering them over each other and it's exactly like both of you have said.

But I still gonna stay at the front of opening crates before rep 5 and even 3 when playing with 1-2 classes because of skins. At least I will do that. :P
