Glory/sPvP Gear Question

I know that the Glory currency was removed and that changes are coming on April 15. The gear that you can craft right now, will these pieces still be obtainable from PvP or those who only PvP will have to PvE to get those gear sets/pieces? It doesn’t matter to me however, since I enjoy both PvP and PvE. I’m only curious to see what will happen. I do like the system that they have now, especially if you only PvP and don’t want to PvE to obtain sets or specific gear pieces.

Before, you would get new skins in spurts each time you gained 10 ranks, but had diminishing returns very quickly. With rewards tracks you’ll get consistent skin unlocks via random drops (mob loot) and through specific weapon-choice boxes. It is true some things will be leaving PvP like cultural sets on the glory vendor, but since they only cost gold, you can go buy them with your PvP earnings.

What happens to the skins already equipped in sPvP? Should I unequip before the patch or will they safely transfer over as well?

You do not need to unequip or move anything.

i understand this part:
“With rewards tracks you’ll get consistent skin unlocks via random drops (mob loot)”

people will now drop loot in pvp? OR you talk bout this svanir mobs ? Or you call minions from necro mob? Would be nice when they drop now loot from his master – could be nice fix for minion master ^^

The rewards from the reward tracks are meant to simulate mob drops. You’re getting items in the form of bouncy chests at the end of matches still. For instance, progressing region-themed tracks will give you items that the mobs from those regions drop.

Since the bouncy chests are back, does this mean if you transfer from one region tothe other will they break like they did last time?

No, the rewards are immediate and persist directly on your account.
