Please don’t take this as elitist or anything, but who cares about exotic weapons anymore? I mean I know I have exotic lvl 80’s for all my current lvl 80 characters, but I’m working my best to phase them out for the top of the line ascended weapons. IDK, in my mind choosing lvl 80 exotic over ascended was like choosing a lvl 77 exotic for your final instead of a lvl 80 exotic in the pre-ascended era. Am I wrong?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the market should be too flooded with ascended weapons to the point that they become cheap knock-offs, but at the same time the ways to get ascended weapons are VERY limited, and giving exotic drops for end-game content just doesn’t seem like the best decision. Again, people can agree or disagree with me if they like, and I’m more than willing to broaden my perspective. This is just what’s going through my head atm.

It’s a lvl 80 instance, so it’s appropriate that they, at the minimum, reward lvl 80 gear. Lvl 80 exotic gear is still appropriate, and can be used to complete all content currently. Ascended weapon improvements are neglible and for those who min/max.

What’s the alternative? Give everyone who completes it (and since it’s LS, it most likely will be very easy) an ascended weapon? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of ascended crafting?

Quite simply, if you don’t like it or don’t want to use it, then don’t worry about it.

I don’t think everyone should be given an ascended by a long shot, I’m not looking for free giveaways. I’m just curious why they’re pushing the exotic when it’s becoming more and more outdated. I mean I “could” do most of the content on rares if I wanted to, if the rest of my build was set up right, but I never see them pushing those.

Perhaps they are not actually pushing the exotics. maybe more so the fact its a new skin. i know one of my guildies has 4 ascended now but none of them with its proper ascended skin.

Who cares about exotics anymore?

Well let’s see. The amount of people who actually have ascended weapons represent a small portion of the tip of the iceberg. Of the others, only a portion has the intention of gaining them.

I would say that leaves quite a considerate amount of players who still enjoy getting an exotic weapon on their character. Call them casuals.

I am also on the mindset that it is more about the skin than about stats, remember ascended weapons are supposed to remain account bound, so if they want skins to be able to be sold on trading post exotic is the go to rarity for several reasons.

One it is is not a skin item so a transmutation stone is needed, and two being an exotic with actual stats it will probably retain its value longer on the trading post than a skin would especially since everything points to this being permanent content. Also for those who like lottery it will in time when all other value is removed work as precursor fodder for the forge (hopefully by that time we have precursor crafting, but if not…)

Most don’t consider ascended weapons worth the trouble to make… i dont see the point in it myself except for high end fractals, which i seldom do above 40 anyway

I care. I can sell them for their skins, use the gold to buy cheaper exotic ones and salvage them for Globs of Dark Matter, used to make ascended weapons.
