I'd much rather they just allow us to earn Champion's Seals instead. As others have mentioned, it's odd to get something so detached from the event.
Wish it had been some kind of updated version of the Undead Slaying gear.Or if they had to reuse Warfront gear, at the very least they could've given us that unused rank3/elite tint. (black/dark blue for Alliance)
@perculia any information on the "Elite Warfront" set from BfA Season 1 being obtainable? It was the Dread Gladiator tint of the Warfront set, it dropped from end-of-match Arena rewards and wasn't marked as temporary, but after the season those rewards changed to the Darkshore appearances, and its been unobtainable since then. On Beta, these are not on the ensemble vendor either. Dread Gladiator Alliance Plate
they couldve atleast make it the highest version
pretty lame imo
Blizz could make something cool man, those sets are really really sad, if they dont make something cool and enjoyable, ppl will hate a lot.
What a pathetic excuse of a pre-patch event, lol.No new designs? Literally just digging up old ICC gear and unused assets.Good job Blizzard. You never used to be this lazy.
I can safely say these are 100% obtainable ingame already right now (head and shoulders i believe come from early war campaign quests, rest of the set is exactly like the pvp set from season 1) I know this because i use it on my rogue because i like these models better than the regular gladiator or elite gladiator versions. also someone mentioned they do the same on their shaman so id think its a safe bet to say its the same for plate and cloth.
This is super duper lame, no other way to say it. Sad, talk about an opportunity lost.
I really need to stop getting my hopes up when it comes to things like this. If these screenshots are the right ones, I just don't even know how to respond. It's a pre-patch launch. You can't even come up with unique gear? ugh.
Wow just terrible all I can say. Think the unused sets from icc would have been better than the lame warfront ones. Be an imbalance since no Dh or monk would have a choice but think they could make something work.
U wanna talk about something cool? no new recolors for the "trials of style" since a while...(i say recolors because that what they are...). Another cool fact is that now there is not MYTHIC tier variant...just a recolor...this "tiers" for the pre-patch" are not a problem at all
Much like everyone else here...I'm disappointed. I'm hoping these are placeholder images, maybe? Is that likely? It does seem a bit unlike them to slap faction specific modeled gear (that's already in use) down for an Argent themed set (or so its named). Here's to hoping? I know I clicked through the link excitedly, thinking it would be another set of Argent gear I could give my paladin. Up-rezzed models of the old stuff - or re-colors of ICC gear (even though that would also be lazy, but would suit the theme of them giving us old ICC bosses). Ideally, the bottom line is that I wanted an Argent set, but didn't really expect one until I saw a set named 'Argent Conscript Gear'. If they're using faction specific gear, regardless of player outcry, then at least don't name it 'Argent' anything, as that makes 0 sense?
Did we really expect they would do anything special for this prepatch? They have phoned in BFA for 2yrs might as well end it with a meh..
Well that is weak sauce a recolored version of the low detailed version of a armor set that was not even all that good in the first place especially for horde oh well more time to slack until SL
way to say goodbye to bfa.. lets recycle the least cool part of the bfa sets..
Very bad sets, hope it is placeholders and maybe a new undead slaying set
Blizzard... Why do you screw us up every time? Why use virtually the same armor as first bfa season for such a unique event? Why?
