i know that its still dumb tho also only reason its not upgraded is cause its bugged so thats why i need to upgrade it being mean for no reason dosent get you anywhere
im not being mean. it was known for quite a long time now that gear will receive a rework, and that you wont be able to upgrade them. Legacy gear is obsolete now. If for whatever reason you want to cling to that, youll have to use it as you left it in season 3.
It is untrue to say that what will happen to our gear was known for a long time. Sure, regular player knew that the loot system would completely be redone starting S4 but details of the rework have only been disclosed quit recently.
I am a regular player and only learned a few days ago that all my gear would be frozen forever. I can live with that. What bothers me it that it remains at a pretty low level compared to the new standards and is therefore useless now.

Lol you didn’t actually think you get to keep using ancient gear from the start of the game, considering there’s multiple expansions planned? And each one will most likely render your current gear obsolete by design?
i do not recall a notification, especially in terms of Eternal Realm characters. I only found out when they released S4 that we had to get rid of the legacy gear.
What would be the recommendations for quickly updating gear to match the new loot system?
I do not have any issues with upgrading the legacy gear to modern gear. The biggest issue I have is, re: Eternal Realm character, upgrading the gear.
What are the recommendations for best way to upgrade gear given the new looting system?
I do not do Helliquary.
Casual players simply do not have the time to do such things, regardless of their rl status.
I am very happy that the new looting system allows for Eternal Realm characters to get the very best gear available for Seasonal…that is a major improvement from the situation where you could not get any decent gear unless you were running a Seasonal Character.
If it wasn’t for that change I would be gone…heh, thanks for your time on reading this.
As a casual player who is too busy to be able to get much out of seasonal content before everything resets, much less worry about what changes are going to be made in future updates, logging on to the eternal realm to suddenly realize I can no longer upgrade any of the gear I saved up for leveling alts is quite frustrating

Time for you and Iggi to do a better job educating the forum newbies who do not keep up with the information.

I am a forum newbie. I was a bit too busy playing the game to spend my time on the forum. Now that I stopped, I can finally pay a visit to from time to time and occasionally leave a post.
The forum is indeed a good place to share information, ask for help or simply give our impression on the evolution of the game, whether positive or negative. Changes that have a significant impact on the players should come from a different channel.
I admit I only quickly went through the patch notes for the new season update but I am not sure there is much info about legacy gear. Anyway, notes are available at same time the patch is released, not 4 months earlier.
It’s been known loot was being reworked longer than 4 months. Reworked means changes. At the very least you knew things would be different. You’re being dishonest with yourself and everyone else.
The quick and dirty answer is things change, sometimes with side effects. Roll with it or find something else to do.
Obviously, it was not known by everyone otherwise there won’t be several posts on the subject. Knowing that change is coming is quite different from knowing what the change is going to be.
And yes, I moved on and I am doing others things. I bought the game upon released and played it almost every day since, till the start of this new season. I believe I still have the right to give my opinion and I intent to keep on doing it when I feel so. That’s exactly why forums exist.
