The armor values have tripled for dropped gear and shop gear. The damage reduction now applies to new values of armor.

Old gear that we already had did not get updated.

This means I am stuck with a seismic set with 9k armor instead of 27k, which renders it literally useless as I'm getting oneshot now by everything.

Which means that literally my gear is useless and I have to farm all gear again to get updated armor values, including seismic helm which took 270 gold ct15 expeditions to get.

This practically means that you literally deleted my gear and are making me farm for it all over again.

Which means this is the same impact as the inventory wipe.

I am not farming for that crap again for 5 weeks, if this is intended I am uninstalling this game and I'm not the only one.

We're aware of some issues regarding armour and survivability as of this patch - these will be rectified with an imminent maintenance.

Please sit tight!

Maintenance will go live in about 5 minutes, will last 5 minutes and should resolve these issues.
