Guild Wars 2

Hello.

Is anyone else excited about these? I wonder how they will look like and in which way they will be obtainable.

Hopefully we will get a Mhenlo’s Staff which will be an ascended staff. That way I can justify my frequent deaths.

Hopefully it never happens as it will limit having multiple sets by alot…

I’m having mixed feelings about this.

1. I’d love to see new designs and all coming into the game. With luck some of these weapons and armor would look really cool. This is always nice for me.

2. If you can add AR on these too, then I’m sure some friends of mine will be happy, and a happy friend makes a happy… me

3. Unless it’s as widely attainable on almost similiar level as exotics, I am really going to be frustrated. FotM is not really my thing, and if they make obtaining this a RNG issue like fractal weapon skins, then I’m going to hate it even more.

Lastly of course, I have never been too keen on ‘new, higher tier items’ being introduced, and it rather have the item tier cap (and level caps too while we are at it) stay the same throughout.

I don’t want them to increase their stats but only skin being ascended (much harder to obtain than normal exotics and with actual visual effects). When are they adding those anyway?

Ascended Backpacks solely from FoTM.
Ascended Gear solely from WvW.

This will encourage more population to run WvW for those servers that Need the population for a match.

Sad to see an MMO with 100% RvR Capability having empty/one-sided Battlefields due most running Dungeons for better stats and making loads of gold instead.
Or should we called this mmo an RvR mmo with PvE as the Main Priority?

edit: We want players to experience all aspects of the game. <— Is this True or False?
If obtaining Ascended Items only by Pveing then this is False.
If obtaining Ascended Items by PvE & PvP then this is True.
And if i’m not wrong, WvW is in the Pvp Catagory of the forum isnt it?

I agree, they should do something to get peeps out into WvW, but putting a specific item in WvW for them to buy is not the way to go about it imo. Those who really want it will just go to WvW as long as they need to and then go, “Finally, now I can get the kitten out of this lag fest.”

I actually liked what Daoc did with Old Frontiers by implementing Darkness Falls. It gave the PvE’ers a reason to unite in RvR, and they had a common goal when going out to RvR, and there was always at risk of losing DF, or just wanting to open it if they didn’t have it, so eventually they came back out to RvR to get the job done.

Should add some WvW armors and then just put them on the laurel vendor too.

Make sure to tag on an extra ecto cost and/or a high cash cost as well for those that buy with laurels. Since that was fine for accessories to get people to do the guild events, this should be fine for say helms and shoulders to get people to do WvW!
