“Thus Legendaries will remain “best-in-slot” items. All Legendary items going forward will be of Ascended power.”

No. Legendaries are being upgraded to Ascended.

Basically, you know how Legendaries = Exotics now. Well, once Ascended gear is released they are buffing Legendaries to be on par with ascended. And exotics will become obsolete.

Check out the blog. Exotics and Ascended are not the same stats. There is a 8% increase in stats, per item.

No…… Legendaries will have the same amount of power as Ascended.

As Legendary is to Exotic currently
Legendary will be to Ascended

Don’t agree with this at all for many reasons.

1) They are releasing this weekend with PVE centric for Ascended.
2) It will negatively impact crafting
3) This WILL take away from WvW and this is a WvW centric game (at least I thought it was).
4) Even legendary one has to grind in PVE to get then add more of this?
5) two months after release Exotic are obsolete!
6) This will be TOA to DOAC if it continues.

Unfortunate the first release is PVE centric. I hope they hear and DONT release with this focus. FOCUS ON WvW come on Anet! Get a clue your wrecking a perfectly viable game folks come here to WvW not PVE!

no if anything they replace exotics as the top spot that isn’t an insane grind. Legendaries will be upgraded when the Ascended gear is introduced so they will still be at the top

Why is it unfortunate? PvE is in more need of love then WvW right now. A good chunk of players don’t even play WvW and have no interest in it at all.

That said, JBleezz.2697 said what I was going to: WvW can get Ascended gear too.

Nobody likes WvW. If you do like WvW, you should probably try some real PvP, or just go PvE because that’s what you are and you’re trying to hide it.

With that said, as soon as the progression grind gets here, I’m staying in the heart of the mists, with the empty tournament roster and hoping for something to save what could have been a good game, had A-net not pulled both of their allowed mistakes for this decade within a couple weeks of each other.
