Guild Wars 2

Without much ranting, I think Implementing an alternative way to obtain ascended rings would be the right thing to do. The current drop rate is forcing many groups to be stuck at progressing further into FotM and on a side note the random drop chance is supplemented by another random chance on the ring’s stats, which in most cases does not compliment the general gear/stat choice of a certain player. Naturaly the token price should be a bit higher, but players would still feel like besides relying on RNG, they have a solid and secure way of obtaining that which they would want to.

Since Fractals are created in a fashion that higher progress yields better rewards, one option would be to make the ring vendor impose a lvl 10+ progress restriction on the ascended rings, and a lvl 20+ on the same but with infusions. In this way players would still need to ascend to the upper plateaus, but with a concrete promise to be rewarded for their overall efforts.

I like those suggestions, nothing wrong with them imo.

It would kill other rings, no one would buy orichalchum ones anymore = bad idea.

Rezz, you can already see players that have more rings than they need, simply because they were more lucky then others, afterwards making posts about needing to scrap them for not having an alt that could use them. To go back to what I said, if there was FotM level restriction as well as steeper token price, this would in no way affect the TP more then the Rng that is in place now.

I really HATE random drop chance. The token system is perfect in my opinion. I have always detested random drop chance, and it completely contradicts the design direction of the other dungeons.

I am one of those “lucky” ones that has already gotten 2 rings. Unfortunately as Heavencloud has already stated in the opening post, both have stats that I do not desire to use. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful I got the rings but now they are going to waste simply because I don’t not care to use them on an alt. At this rate I would even trade both in for one I could use…or even gift them so at least they could get used by friends who need them.

would i be wrong if I said this is the Draw back for them haveing more power than Exotic

Harder to get and also less costomizable.

working as intended???
