Confirmation of new Pink/Purple gear set?

[MurphDog6]

Just on today looking through the map and hovered over the new incursion (Broken Circle) the rewards show a set item with a pink/purple colour. There are rumours of new pink/purple set items entering the game in the new 1.2 patch. I think this confirms it? Photos show the incursion set item rewards for both falcon lost (shown in challenge mode rewards as I have already completed hard mode) and broken circle. 

Notice the gear set item reward from Falcon Lost is dark green in colour yet the Broken Circle gear set item reward is Pink/Purple ?

Yeah man. Nice. Pretty sure this came out when 1.1 came out. It's a teaser. Some of the new sets are already known entities. For instance the Juggernaut set that increase damage resistance by 20%ish. I hear its a 2 piece set.

I have read a little bit online about the new gear sets, my thinking is there going to be 191,214 & 240 in dark green then possibly the same gear set but in pink/purple 249, 272 & 298??

Don't rain on my parade, it's pink damnit

I moved the camera angle around to look at the purple items on my map to confirm  :8_laughing:

if it follows the same pattern as current gear, tier one of the new set would have a gear score under tier three of the current set (which also explains the big gap between 214 and 240). Tier three of the new set would likely be 30-40 above the current tier three, with tier two being 5-15 over current tier three.

With the positive news of the new gear coming with higher scores, can you imagine how hard it is going to be to complete these new missions?! I mean challenging mode now on Incursions is by no means an easy run even with some of the more experienced players and according to the gear score now of a required gear score of 160 to just do that I haven't found one group of 160's to do it yet. Now the new score is 220? I can only imagine it will be countless of frustrating hours lol. 

Hopefully there are no glitches to be had this time and everyone has to actually EARN the new items.

I still think 220 is to high i can understand 200 even if its really really hard as i have a feeling that only the few will get to do it and some of them would have glitched falcon to get 240 gear

160 was a SERIOUS understatement, they know that now. It almost had to be that low to encourage more players to attempt it though. The problem was that the 160 score to get in and complete needed perfectly rolled, maxed gear at 163GS.

220 sounds more like they nailed down where it SHOULD be for this run, not a haphazard guess or stating the lowest GS that could possibly do it.

As to the glitches, the recent patch that introduced anti-cheat measures also accounted for anti-glitch software, with players found to be deliberately glitching facing a temp or permanent ban in addition to a gear rollback, negating any gains they may make.

the new Dz bracket will drop high enough loot to get you over the hump.

I totally agree with this.  I'm thinking the 220 is for sure more of a "right on" rather than how Falcon Lost's 160 was a "maybe if you're lucky", lol.  I'm curious to see what they're going to do with the new "PINK" gear as far as how it looks visually.  I'm sure it'll be some BA stuff stat-wise, but I'm curious what the higher and higher gear will end up looking like as we progress further into the game.

220 isn't that far out of reach. Specially if you did the challenging incursion multiple times and we're lucky enough to get properly geared up. Now with the increased drop rate it won't be hard to hit that at all. People are overthinking it. I remember thinking "GS 200" is so far away

If the gear drop consistency continues as it does in 1.1 currently, the 220 requirement is all but impossible for anyone but very lucky people, pre-1.1 CM glitch abusers, or people just putting on crappy unmatching 240s to 'get in' to the new trial.

I've ran the CM incursion a lot and have deconned a lot of 214s. I only have 4 240s currently. Why? I didn't glitch, I did my one weekly and that was it. Sadly I can only actually wear one of them. 2 of them sucked and 1 is a striker piece that is solid but I wont ever wear. If I put on my absolute highest gear possible, I think I can reach 214 / 216? That's with absolute crap rolls or unmatching gear, but 'just' to get close to 220. I mean c'mon. My absolute uber tweaked gear is 197, with Tactician at 208. I do CM incursions every.. single.. day.

So, expect the DZ 200+ zones to be ultra farmed for a couple weeks before people can actually deck out in near full 240s. Then again, 240 will most likely be an ultra rare drop, with 204 and 214s being more of the norm. Not a lot of people will even be able to attempt the new trial when it comes out. Even the pros who are running CMs like beasts. I mean you can only get 240s once a week, period. And those who waited do to the incursion legitly (like me) without glitching? Punished all the more. Bad rolls and crappy drops forcing you behind the curve even more? More punishment.

So what is rewarded in getting to do the 1.2 incursion? Luck and glitching. Not skill or proof you are a CM Falcon vet. Meh..

My suggestion is to allow someone in who has say.. completed CM Falcon 20 times successfully. There's a whole hell of a lot of us running around in GS 200-218 that won't get that lucky 1-3 piece 240 to drop any time soon. Once a week is a pretty tough probability chart. Note this is not me bitching for bitching's sake.. I feel like I'm stating the obvious.

While I wouldn't argue against the 20 times bit, it's the same boat we're in with gear score...not many have that many completions, or even that many runs period.

"Getting in" at 220 is all that needs to be done, as far as I know. Once you're in, you can swap back to your "normal" gearing...at least that's what I'm hoping.

I'm in your boat as well...my best gear score attainable right now is 217, and the stats would be junk from a few sets combined. I'm just hoping to hit 220 next week with a lucky drop from the weekly to test the "getting in" bit when the incursion drops, though I know I have a slim to none chance to attain 220 as a "walking around" gear score thanks to playing clean. As it stands, I run at 209, only due to the luck of getting a mask and knees at 240 that fit my build perfectly. Not everyone gets that lucky, and I'm sure the devs know that...the new DZ is probably their way of apologizing for the 220 bit.

I don't know why people are worrying about gearing up so much for this.

Save your DZ funds and PXC and buy the new GS ~220 blueprint that are bound to come out with update 1.2

all this new gear will have better base stats than most of what you have and scramble your build anyway. I'll probably experience the new DZ changes, gear up for a bit and hopefully be ready to try the new incursion by the weekend after in launches (on a Tuesday since that's when Xbox updates are deployed)

because we want in on day one, and don't want that to hinge on what a blueprint is going to cost.

If you're on PS4 and willing to take a 198 running sentry x 4 and striker x 2 into CM incursion, I'm dying to run it, and the group I run with has little to no interest in CM currently AND they are playing less and less every day.

Would love to but I'm on PC. Mouse and keyboard for life here. I know a lot of the other regulars are PS4 though.

Supposedly the incursions are all supposed to be different in the type of mechanics used to complete them, so hopefully this next one won't be another "horde mode".  That being said, it will probably be just as frustrating.

I'm hoping it'll bring something new to the table for us.
