Guild Wars 2

Is this intended?

I’m a bit rusty on Fractals, but as I remember it, non-infused rings stopped dropping after scale 25. Yet I just got a non-infused ring at scale 30.

Edit:
From the responses this does indeed seem to either be a change or a bug.
ArenaNet, can you either confirm that it is intended that non-infused rings keep dropping after Personal Reward Level 25, or move this thread to the bug forum?

Thank you

i think i got non infused rings before at 20+ its not something new.

It has always been a thing. Your rings have a CHANCE to be infused. This chance rises as your fractal level does. I heard somewhere about them changing it to always be infused after 26+, but it appears to be false.

Is 30 YOUR personal reward level? Rings are guaranteed to be infused 26+, assuming that is your personal reward level.

In my party, we got 4 normal ascended rings, non infused, and we had level 30 as personal reward. So it seems that they now can drop at level 30… on the other hand, I’ve never seen 4 ring drops at the same time, so they may be more common now.

It used to be very true. Level 26 used to be the level where you never saw a non-infused ring again.

I’m only asking for 26+ At scales 20-25, non-infused rings definitely drops.

Yes. I used to be around 40, got reset to 30 with the rest of you.

“WE” don’t have a “personal reward” “YOU” do. If your PR level is not 30, you don’t get 30 rewards just by being there.

And yes, 26+ was only infused rings before. AFAIK, this has not changed.

What was your Personal Reward Level?

Well at PRL 30 I got a non infused ring, so I’ll throw my confusion into the mix as well.

Seems to be a bug. I’d /bug it in game and on the forums in the bug section.

PRL 30 and I got a non-infused ring; never happened prior to patch.

It’s just random if so. The lv.30 I did today gave me a infused ring with rabid stats

Just finished a run with friends, we were all at PRL 30 and 2 of us didn’t get infused rings so it’s either a change or a bug.

If it is intended please can someone at ANet confirm this?

And btw from wiki: “Rings drop randomly from daily reward chests when completing the Solid Ocean Fractal at personal reward and/or difficulty level 20 or higher. At 26+ dropped rings in daily chests are always infused.”

i got non infused ring too but not like i care, only skins are worthy now.

I just did a fractal a personal level 30 and got a non-infused ring, so it looks like it changed. I always got infused rings at 20+ per patch.

From what I’m gathering, ArenaNet either ninja changed the ring drops or broke it, so I updated the original post, asking them to confirm or move the thread to bugs

Well that settles it. They changed/broke it

I did some fractals lvl30+ and got always infused rings, but a friend of mine got always not infused rings. Before the update rings were always infused at 26+, so I think that this could be an issue to be fixed.

Too bad by this point most of us don’t even need the kitten rings.

Could use backpiece drops instead or accessories. It takes 2 weeks of full guild mission grind just for one accessory…..that’s longer than an ascended weapon.
