Will we be able to upgrade legendary items to ascended stats without using transmutation stones, so they keep legendary status and color?

I think if there’s gonna be ascended weapons then legendary stats should just get boosted.

Id hope legendary stats would get boosted and legendary weapons would in general be exempted from needing to be on a gear treadmill.

The amount of work needed to obtain a legendary is nuts, if theres gonna be a gear treadmill getting the occasional stat boost to keep them up to par is not unreasonable.

I imagine that people who have legendaries SHOULD find obtaining all their ascended gear trivial by comparrison to getting the legendary anyhow… unless ANet does something really stupid like making them RNG or some such.

This. I just got my legendary today and wouldn’t want it to be be obsolete too soon… or preferably ever.

99% sure ascended will only apply to armor types, because of the ‘infusion slot’ thing. Could only infuse armor in GW1, so I’d figure it would carry over. Maybe. Hopefully.

“the Fractals of the Mist Dungeon will introduce the new ‘Ascended’ item type. This type is a bit more powerful than the Exotic quality items currently found in the game. There will only be a couple of Ascended quality items available initially, but some of the rarer Ascended items will also feature a new Infusion slot that will make players even more powerful so that they can tackle new challenges that ArenaNet plans to throw at them as they continue to expand on the dungeon over the coming months and years.”

No to this and anything like it, having vertical progression at lvl cap funnels everyone into the latest content to get the best gear which cycles to become a treadmill of fail and as a result almost all other content becomes obsolete as the rewards become sub par as anything other than a means to gear up to begin running the new content.

even if the increment is tiny, over time with iterations this will build up to create a significant gap in stats which will spill over to spvp etc as this dungeon seems to be the only place to get ascended items at this time.

if you want to make it progressively harder implement additional mechanics or adds or whatever, just adding bigger numbers as a gear check is the lazy way to make content difficult.

i wish the devs had a consistent vision and didn’t push out content they know is flawed

“You’ll also see more Legendary items in the future and an update to our existing Legendary weapons. Legendary items were always intended to be on par with other “best-in-slot” items. So fear not, all existing Legendary weapons, which are currently on par with Exotics, will be upgraded to be on par with Ascended weapons at the same time that we add Ascended weapons to the game. Thus Legendaries will remain “best-in-slot” items. All Legendary items going forward will be of Ascended power. We also have plans to add more fun ways to acquire Legendary precursor items with a more “scavenger hunt” feel than they are acquired currently.”

What I’m more curious is

1. Will ascended items be Soulbound on Acquire(must do dungeon) or Soulbound on Use (can get it from TP).

2. Is new monster condition: Agony, will be exclusive to the dungeon or will they be implemented on other world boss too.

Turning the game into a gear grind seems counter intuitive. I remember the trailers for GW2 and how developers touted they “knew” gamers didn’t want the same old boring grind. Well a gear grind at level cap in a dungeon where you can only proceed with certain gear is the same and boring. Already I run dungeon paths repeatedly for exotic gear sets and it is already boring. At least this is armor and weapons I see and want to attain due to aesthetics (not stats necessarily) Now if I want to see everything I have to have ascended gear that is also infused in order to survive a condition at the lowest levels of the new dungeon?

It is true that “Tyria will be changed forever”. There will probably be a lot less people playing after this.

Ascended items will have the same stats as exotic. The difference will be an additional slot, which will force players to buy Fine Transmutation stone to keep their current skin/stats and get the new slots.
This way, Anet doesn’t change anything to the gear situation, and at the same time they force players to buy from their shop if they want to keep up with this new feature. We’re gonna probably see new gems/runes, or special upgrade component that goes into that slot.

Mark my words.

@Agemnon : Your legendary weapon is just a skin. A skin is never gonna be outdated. If you crafted it for the stats only… well… herm.

@SteepledHat : This is not WoW, this is just like another MMO. The endless cycle of lif… hu, I mean, of gearing. And if you played any other RPG in your life, you know that there always is something “better” to chase. After all, that’s the point.

Lol at all the complainers talking about how they worked SO hard for their exotics. What, did it take you all of 2 hours to farm up the 5 gold they cost? Currently theres nothing to work towards besides a legendary and I for one welcome any added content for those of us that dont necessarily want a legendary at the moment.

I hope you have your legendary weapon, because with only Ascended Rings & Backpacks launching at the moment but Legendary Stats being upgraded to Ascended stats from exotic it would mean Legendaries would be the strongest weapons in-game stat wise.

First patch of the apocalypse? Lol I know over dramatic but I bought the game to not have a gear grind, I pvp and like for everyone to easily get the right stats.
Most of the games I have stopped playing is because developers start making kitten up on the fly, we are not far into the game and progression is already here?
As with most people if I wanted to keep earning gear I’d still be in another mmo

I still don’t see the problem. New end-game is added which this game lacks imo. The stats aren’t that much better so if you don’t want to grind for the best gear then don’t do it. It hardly matters anyways, I always play my dungeons in a rare magic find set without any problems.

This.
If you’re good player – you can do dungeons in greens (players can confirm that). If you’re bad, like 90% community – AN is giving you tad better gear to make dungeons a bit easier.

A ton of people have quit the game already because of lack of PvE and/or exciting gear at end-game. I don’t see how adding end-game content could ever be a bad thing. You can put on a full set of blues and clear dungeons anyways right now. Just don’t grind new gear if that’s not your thing.

Amen brother! I for one am glad they are adding more stuff. As a person who doesn’t really play alts, all i do is farm dungeons pretty much for my 4th set of dungeon gear. Hell i’ve managed to get my guard who is level 36 a full set of dungeon gear as well as weapons too which i never really play anyways. All this new stuff and new gear and dungeon mechanics has me excited as well as the idea of “scavenger hunt” style to get mats for legendaries. As long as it doesn’t end up camping X mob for 18 hours like some of the mobs in EQ1 for epic weapons :P

As for “gating” content, can’t really say i’m thrilled there but if they made it say easier to do those encounters with infusions, i have no problem. Like say boss X will 2 shot someone without infusions and with infusions, you take 10% less dmg up to a cap would be nice. Then everyone can do the content but those who put in the work for infusion gear would have a buffer. I know it sounds backwards(as in new people should have a buffer) but this way, those who put the work in to gear up can run the dungeon faster and achieve higher levels in the dungeon thus getting better rewards but no one is left out period.

“The fun is i get to play with my friends. But if you do gear grind now i cant play with that friend because they litterally cant do the content. Where is the fun in that i ask you?”

This hints at the fact my friends dont like to run dungeons all the time. I personally like dungeons. They dont. But i do enjoy running dungeons with them when they are up to it. Thing is if im wanting to run this new content and i have the gear them not having it means i can not run it with them which is one of the big things GW1 and GW2 was against. All content is ment to be viable but now they wont be able to run with me because they dont have the required items. Most of my friends are not full exotics. But that does not stop us from throwing togeather a group and running the current dungeons. With this new gear progression if they havent grinded out the gear already they will not be viable and we will not be able to run the content.

No, he’s not. You might be though. Gear grind =/= content. Or at least that’s not the only content. From what I see, most players fancy WvWvW. Which is where the fun is. And I agree with the guy. If it turns out that I’m forced into a dungeon(and I hate GW2 dungeons so much…just thinking about the ridiculous design makes me violent and prone to murder)…GW2 will just be another game I’m not playing. Because I also don’t like feeling “behind”. And it’d be rather…disappointing. In most MMOs I suck it up and do my grind. But most MMOs don’t promise me that I won’t have to grind unless I want to and that I won’t be at a disadvantage for not grinding. GW2 promised me that. Thus the moment I’m forced to choose between having bos and that sorry excuse for a dungeon this game has….I’ll be a little foxy priest faster than you can say “liars”.

I love it when people say stuff like “A Ton of people have already left gw2” with no actual evidence to back it up rather then theres friends friend saying he might quit.

IMO this is and was needed, its an endgame instance that gives a reward good enough for people to do it, armour up till now is pretty much given to you leaving everyone who finish there storyline with nothing to do.

I’m 80 and i was 80 in the first 3 days of launch, played all betas too and ive kept myself entertained with about 6 hours game-time aday. People arnt “crying out” for new end-game content as much as people make it out to be, but new stuff to do other then the norm is always welcomed.

I couldn’t agree more with this actually, the last game i played just introduced more and more new content without fixing old content or even bugs in the previously launched content and the game pretty much died population wise.

Problem was forums posters only account for about 5% of the actual player database, so those who didn’t voice there opinions on old content or buggy classes, skills, maps and so fourth just quit.

So let me get this straight. We have many problems with current gear with bugs. ie air runes, etc doing massive damage. We have OP garbage on some classes causing massive spike in this game and ppl dying in < 3s for whatever reason.

So now they are going to compound the issue with stat creep? Brilliant! Most of the ppl I know who left this game was due to the silliness of instadeath in regard to pvp and WVW issues like permastealth and not lack of pve content.

So you can’t complete the high end content w/o having the specified amount of “proper” gear? Well, that is counter intuitive to grabbing a buddy who does not have that gear as they will not be able to get through the content. So there goes your “you can play with friends” at your discretion argument.

This reeks of desperation. This is different from WOW how?

Well honestly, i dont see how infusion deal will affect PVP since it says mobs will apply the agony debuff/dmg and says nothing about players applying it. As for the dungeon, if you dont like it, you don’t have to do it, no one is forcing you. They are adding a new PVP map as well. Fixing bugs and stuff would be nice but i’m definately not gonna scoff at new content. People who have quit already are probably people who would quit no matter what, whether it be 1 complaint or another. I play a necro which is arguably one of the most broken/pigeonholed classes out there yet i still love it and play him pretty much exclusive(i do have a 80 ranger and 36 guard). Broken skills etc do suck but if you like the game overall, then you find ways to work around it and enjoy the game regardless.

As for the new gear, if i’m not mistaken, they said it will be between exotic and legendary so i imagine that we’re talking 2-5 points more in stats over exotics now which imo are not a game breaker in PVP anyways.

So will the improvement to legendary weapons retroactively change stats for legendaries people already have? I am a few shards away from my legendary, so do I need to not craft it until the new version of legendaries is implemented? After all that work it would be horrible to be stuck with an out-of-date obsolete version of a legendary.

If there are more stats in the new armour, people MUST get the new armour, a small amount is still a significant amount. Who wants to run around knowing they have imperfect gear? I know I don’t. In gw1 you could earn 1.5k armour in a day, exotics are far more expensive than that, now Anet are adding another level on top of that.

You are right though, it is not compulsory to get the armour, or play the dungeon, or play the map, or play the world, or play the mists., infact it is not compulsory to play the game at all.

Therefore @Sauzo, by your logic, YOU are not allowed to complain about a single thing to do with gw2 .. none of it is compulsory afterall. Infact it is not compulsory to come on the forums and try to argue with people.

Lol at all the complainers talking about how they worked SO hard for their exotics. What, did it take you all of 2 hours to farm up the 5 gold they cost? Currently theres nothing to work towards besides a legendary and I for one welcome any added content for those of us that dont necessarily want a legendary at the moment.

Fell free to explain me how do you farm in 2 hours all the needed items for a full set of exotic items: all 6 armor pieces, all 5 jewels pieces, 3 weapons (and I’m nice here with 3 weapons I can say at least 6).

Maybe he got them through tokens, what is that? 20 runs in 2 hours? Must be some epic speedrun build.
