Guild Wars 2

Arenanet, why do you limit the gameplay of players by making stat combination recipes limited to living story events? This seems ridiculous and very disheartening to players who happen to not have been active during a specific time of the game existence and now cannot experiment and play the game with the stat combinations available in the game. Is this really the design in mind by the developers, I am baffled by this decision.

I don’t even have the option to spend outrageous amounts of gold on the recipes because there isn’t a single one available on the TP (Keeper’s Tassets), beyond unhappy with the way this game has been handled from a design perspective. I would love to have a recording of the meetings where these decisions are discussed and approved, it really seems idiotic from a developers point of view to make stat combinations limited and account bound.

All that rage for one missing ascended recipe? The exotic recipes are still obtainable on the TP, try the stats that way

don’t you buy the recipe for these from master armorsmiths? (Recipe: Ascended Heavy Leggings) for 5 laurels + 3g.
you buy that recipe, use it, then select the Recipe: Keeper’s Ascended Heavy Leggings.
Or is that not what you’re talking about? The wiki is very sparse on Keeper’s Tassets.

Rage? It’s a ridiculous design decision, I don’t care that there is exotic versions available, I have all the materials sitting in my inventory to make the ascended versions and now am stuck with keeper’s insignias with no recipe to combine them due limited availability for a stat combination, which is ridiculous cause it impacts gameplay and is not vanity, so now I am to sit and wait until arenanet decides to bring them back again in some random future event?

They are an entirely different recipe to the ones obtained by laurels and were an RNG drop from a previous LS event.

The zealot stats recipies were RNG rewards during the marionette period in january.

Unfortunately that was how LS1 worked though. If you didn’t play during the chapters you didn’t get the chapter specific rewards. In LS2 Everything is permanent, so it is not a problem anymore.

Eventually the recipies will come back, as they seem to bring back most things anyway, so just wait and save up laurels until they do.
In the mean time there is nothing stopping you from crafting the rest of the set. Just make tassels with another stat for now.

I bought a bunch of these during the event, but when they rereleased them after the event ended it ticked me off and i tried to get out of a bad investment, so i sold alot of them at a loss, but i just threw some that dropped too much in price into in storage, and forgot about them. I’ll have to check which ones i have, maybe i can sell you one for a outrageous amount.

I always invest in limited time recipes and for the most part, i got huge profits.
Right now, most of the ventari recipes are cheap and as the dry top content will be permanent, their profit margins might not go as high as the zealot/keeper recipes but once the LS moved on, their supply will be severely limited, so buy the ones you might need later, now.

To the OP, concerning Keepers Tassets Recipes, there are most propably still alot of them in peoples guild vaults (i will check mine but i think i listed them all when i moved server 2 weeks ago), so put in a buy order, if its worth 90 gold to you.
I am quite sure, they will be re-released at some point.

ah, so they are different. well, in that case it’s much simpler: just buy them from the TP. no need to grind an area hoping for a rare drop.

I recommend offering more than 90g

I’d rather just finally give up on some hope of their being any competency in Anet’s development team and save myself the grind to play a game, 90g+ on top of another 100g+ per piece in ascended crafting materials just to play with a stat combination available in the game is ridiculous and they will only lose more and more people with every poor design choice.

It’s just another terrible decision on top of many others.

Are Keeper’s Tassets different stats from Keeper’s Ascended Heavy Leggings?
They both seem to be Power, precision, healing. which is Zealot’s
Isn’t the only difference the skin? I’m just trying to understand this as I’m not an expert with ascended armors.

They are the same item, without the limited recipe you cannot obtain Power Precision Healing ascended pants, basically limiting the availability of stat combinations to those who happen to have been playing 1 month of the game’s existence, which is why this is such a ridiculous design decision. Just to confirm I bought an ascended recipe with laurels and Keeper’s is not available as a stat combination.

Zealots is the exotic version, Keepers ascended.

It’s ridiculous. I wanted to craft an ascended set, but the recipes alone were a couple hundreds of gold to buy…

In then end I just bought the recipe for a box of exotic zealot armor. Ascended was just too expensive now.
