I dont get it (Sets)

Morostyle · January 2016

There are so many cool sets out in the ESO would which arent being used, due to their range is from lvl 20 to v14...
Wouldnt it be cool if they added a feature where we could manually upgrade tiers/lvls on the gear, up to vr16? Would be awesome!
Every freaken person are stuck with 5-6 choices as a MAX, for a lvl 16 atm..

Whats you're thought about this?

I would eat a chub loon if I could have a VR 16 set of Fiord's Legacy armor! Luckily, I can use Wykkyd's to swap into it.

http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Fiord's+Legacy+Set

Bonuses (at level 23):◦(2 items) Adds ? Weapon Damage
◦(3 items) Adds ? Weapon Critical
◦(4 items) Adds ? Stamina Recovery
◦(5 items) Fiords Legacy: Sprint cost reduced by 15.0% and movement speed increased by 15.0%

It comes in chest, legs, shoulders, head and rings.

Balance issues if Ravagers were in v16 stam would rule the land. Amongst other sets with pretty strong passives.

Stares at Dreughking slayer set mournfully*

Agreed

Such ideas and other were proposed many times.

My guess is that they don't want older sets bumped because too much diversity wouldn't sell DLCs.
Think about it for a moment- how many people would be running around Wrothgar doing boss dailies if you could upgrade any set to v16?

Although, I have read somewhere that they would bump the Alliance War sets to v16 sometime soon.
Ravager, here you come.

More likely, Morag Tong and Shadow Walker sets here we come...

This has bothered me since I started playing. I have several pieces that I was hoping to make a full set out of but by the time I got close to a set most of the pieces are too low level to be useful. I did manage to get an almost full set of Stygian once but I leveled out of it rather quickly. It would be so cool if those set pieces could be somehow crafted to a higher level or something...

I think that the reason a lot of sets are limited to vr14 is balancing...

In order for the end-game to be properly balanced, they've chosen to limit the sets available at the end-end-game... The new scaling system kinda smashed this idea tho... If you could /xpoff, I would sit forever at level 20... gold out all that gear and see you scale up to 50k in all stats...

Not only do I wish like the second poster mentioned that I could upgrade Fiords Legacy for V16.

I don't understand why I can't change the style of any piece I have to a style I have researched if I have the material.

If I can convert everything to Imperial with the mInoerial edition the the tech is already in game to change the horrendous Briarheart shoulders and feet I am wearing to glass.

Both are ridiculous and both would be great reasons to level up crafting.

I wish we could have all these sets in V16. Would be much more fun having more build variety. These days most people are wearing more or less the same because no alternatives. Kinda boring.

Preyfar · January 2016

Yeah, I and most other players have been hoping for a way to bring older sets up to par.

VR16 Warlocks....

Plz give it to me...

Been trying to find purple VR12 warlock rings and it's basically impossible right now. Never mind the Lich set....not even worth bothering to try and get that....

So many wasted opportunities in this game...

Good idea then I could go back to using my salvation set

AlnilamE · January 2016

I don't know.

While there are some sets that I'd like my v16 to have, I kind of like that there is some level limitation. When I level an alt, I pretty much plan which sets I'm going to experiment with in which level ranges and see how they fare with each before I make their final gear when they reach v16.

If I could just make their BiS gear at any level, without limitations, would I bother? Or would I just keep leveling the same gear that is working?

I think the bigger problem is once you hit around VR12+ the variety of sets starts to fall dramatically, and feels like it gets lower and lower the higher you go. There's a wealth of VR15/16 sets, but surprisingly few that are really viable in most day-to-day scenarios.

I think ZOS should just extend the research system in game to allow players to research set items and be able to craft them on our own. That would be an amazing answer to so many problems. After 9/9, you get to learn to craft dropped sets. It'd extend the usefulness of crafting, and allow more points to be sunk into research and offer a lot more variety in game.

Completly agree, been thinking this myself many times.

RizaHawkeye · January 2016

Agreed. I really wish they would implement this!

Knootewoot · January 2016

There are a lot of sets at V16. You just have to craft them. I think some lower level sets would be overpowered (in PvP that is) of there was a V16 variant.

I would also hope more armor diversity in PvP, but there will always be a "the best" set.

I always only wear crafted stuff since I don't have gold.

Yet another idea mentioned in my old thread.
