Guild Wars 2

Can someone kindly explain why there are no ascended amulets purchesable with pristine relics? Agony resistance is mandatory in fractals and yet there is no way to get them with playing fractals. I understand that you wanted to create alternative way of obtwining them but removing it from fractals is kittening absurd. It is againt every logic and comon sense.

And while im kittening here i might as well say that lvl 48 fractal drops suck donkey balls hard. Not only that lasts long , is kittening harf, and we lack kittening agony resistance to actually play it; on top of that you get punished by kittenty drops. Seriously, is it that hard to reward players for doing impossible bosses with some decent loot? Can we at least have some fractal weapons trader that would exchange pristine or regular tokens for them. Ive beaten ober 500 fractals and i got two kitten weapons i cant use with my warrior.

Yeah, the playerbase complained that they had to do fractals to get ascended gear. Therefore, Anet remedied the problem with the opposite problem. Real great response there. It really makes no sense that rings were added to the laurel vendors without amulets being added to the fractal vendor.

+1 to this

Ppl as of now have tons of token and nothing to do with them. I mean isn’t this a major design flaw that ever other dungeon token can be used to buy armor or weapons but the ones from FOTM can’t. Alright i agree they can be used to buy rings and back slot items. But most ppl have no use for these items anymore.

As of now nothing which is ascended can be salvaged or sold(other then to the vendors for some pathetic amount of silver) and this is something ppl have been complaning about pre 28th Jan patch. And what have you guys done about it?

I mean come on its so obvious that your trying to get ppl away from FOTM by putting a hard cap on the lvl through agony, making the encounters harder, even freaking nerfing the loot. I agree it works. But give something back to the kitten dungeon PLS.

There is another big issue with the ascended gear using the laurel system. IT TAKES TOO FREAKING LONG. Let me explain what i mean by this.

Currently if one diligently does his dailies for 20 days and within that 20 days finishes his monthly, he can get his ascended amulet(25 for a ring). So the fastest you can get one ascended gear is in 20 days.

However in FOTM in that 20 days you definitely get a bare minimum of 2 rings with pristine relics(if your rng is horrible) and within that 20 days can quite easily get enough relics and crafting materials to make a beta fractal capacitor. And i’m only talking about someone who’s in the range of lvl 10-19. Most ppl will push on to higher lvls and they most likely will get a ring or 2 that they need from the daily chest, thus making the acquisition process slightly faster.

So bacisally is the same period of time one can get 3 pieces of ascended gear, now with the laurels system, you gotta wait for bleeping 20 days just to get 1?(25 for a ring, if anyone gets the ring through laurels they’re probably one of the biggest kitten this game would have ever seen.) Also bare in mind we can’t get any of the other stuff you can buy with the laurels system. Have you guys also considered that ppl have multiple builds and multiple alts which might need different ascended items.

If your counter argument is, “If we reduce the amount of laurels required for ascended gear, then it would be easily acquired by everyone.”, then my point to you is WHY IN THE WORLD DIDNT YOU LET PLAYERS BUY IT WITH FOTM TOKENS???? THESE ARE THE GUYS WHO REALLY NEED IT.

Would love to see anet reply this cos as of now i’ve seen so many posts and have posted quite a bit myself on this topic and none have really gotten a reply.

well its the same with ascended backpiece. how many people are paying 250ecto++ to infuse for 5 AR. If you get the amulet, it saves you this cost

+1 to this post. And I’m guessing Anet is planning on add them into fotm vendor. Like those rings took them couple of weeks to be able to purchase in fotm vendor. However, I still like an official confirmation about this or the reason why it takes forever long

Using logic I guess they didn’t add it to the vendor so that people who farmed fractals wouldn’t have a headstart compared to those using the dailies to gear up in ascended. This means that eventually we will see them in the vendor, my guess is around in 4 to 6 weeks.

+1 here.
It would be nice that someone from Anet could answer about this topic.
I am pretty sure that lots of fractals players, like myself, would like to know what can they do
with all their unused relics…

Sad but true

I’m guessing they don’t want players to get these amulets too quickly or players will find themselves bored again.. They will make them purchaseable around the time players get enough laurels to buy their first amulet thats my guess…

lets face it anet talks about oh hey lets have many ways to obtain ascended gear then they introduce amulets with currently 1 way to achieve them. oh and now people cant go past fractal 50 anet wants to restrict their playerbase. They want to wait till more players get around level 40-50 then gradually let them level up

I hope what you guys are guessing about this comes through. But I really wanna see an official response. At least someone letting us know that this info has to been passed to the dungeon design team and what they are thinking of doing about this or what their stand is regarding this issue. It cant be the case that ppl have been talking about this issue for so long and the game designers still have idea where they are headed with the problem.

A week passed and not a single word about Ascended gear returning back to where it belongs, FOTM.

GW2 was made with this little concept of possiblity to acquire your gear whatever you do. Ascended gear doesn’t belong solely to FoTM, infusions do.

That would not be a concern at all if ascended gear would be just exotic+AR+infusion slot…

He’s not saying make amulets only available in FotM. He’s saying make them also available there. You know, since you need agony resistance in FotM.

IKR. Why weren’t amulets put in the FotM vendor? They are the main reason I would play FotM now. I have enough rings. FoTM is pretty much a waste of my time now.

Man, i want earrings also, why not ?

i want use my pristine relic to the vendor too :/ got so many atm

KItten, Kitten, Kitten Kitten – Nice vocabulary you got there OP

More than 3 weeks and there is still no response. Can we please have answer to one simple question:

Why is there no amulets, and now earrings, attainable from fractal vendors?
