is t8 obsidian even coming?

"Trion_Celestrata: At the current time, XL is looking towards moving away from creating additional Obsidian tiers."

From live stream chat.

Also, Obsidian gear will not be coming to the Fresh Start servers

Everyone NEEDS to know if T8 will be released someday. It's a yes or no. We're talking about years of players time, money, sweat and tears. (LOL) Please ask XL if it will be released at a later date. Restating what we can see by watching and understanding what is coming in patches isn't helping us determine if everyone who has T7 Obsidian wasted their gold or real life money to obtain these items. Telling us that at this time that it isn't their focus, isn't helping. It is only further diminishing the value of these items. We NEED to know as a community if it is being released someday or if it isn't so that we can play the game accordingly or honestly know that our time was wasted so we can move on to other games. Statements like what was said during the livestream only causes frustration and concern from your community. I understand the meaning of what she said. She said at this time. That doesn't mean its not coming but we need to know if T8 is still coming. It's that simple. The simple fact that players are basically, "freaking out" over the fact that they are uncertain if their equipment is worthless or not should simply not happen in a game designed the way ArcheAge is. It was introduced as an alternative to crafted gear that was tradable with alternative benefits. It had a tiering system that made many of us believe that it would be continued. We as players deserve to know if T8 is coming instead of finding out in a couple months or a year that it is or isn't. It either is, or it isn't. Please ask XL and find out for all of us so we can determine our status and where we stand as individuals, playing your game.

Item conversion? Let obsidian shift over to an equal-tier spot in the crafting system. The top tier obsidian should be converted to an ayanad, and the tier below that should be delphinad. They're pretty close to similar stats.

People don't want their mythic t7 armor switched to ayanad.

I am not sure if you where reading same responses as i did, but to me is obvious, even if it does come is in very very distant future, in the galaxy far far away....

we all thought erenor would follow the ayanad rng build path. we waited years for it and it didn't happen, collecting summer swords and winter shortspears. don't have expectations and remember xl's updates are very unpredictable.
