Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,
I decided to take a break from GW2 after a very fun couple of months due to the Ascendent Gear fiasco. I just wanted to know if anything has changed or if the changes they hinted at right after the uproar are still in the works.

1) Is all Ascendant Gear available through WvW?

if not:

2) Are there any other ways to get Ascendant Gear than Fractals?

3) Did they reduce the amount of time I would have to spend in dungeons (not something I enjoy) to get Ascendant Gear?

Thank you very much for your answers!
Hope to be back soon.

Big update Monday. Answers to all this that I think you will like.

As of right now nothing has changed regarding ascended gear since it was introduced.

As of 2 days from now things are changing. From what I gather there will be more changes in the future patches as well but the best answer anyone can really give you is read the patch notes on Monday and decide how you feel about it.

Thanks guys, I look forward to reading the patch notes.

From my understanding, when the new patch hits, you can get Ascended Rings from a new token system that works off your daily/monthly achievements.

You can also get “sort of” Ascended Amulets now from daily/monthly achievements with the new token system. The reason I say sort of, is cause they are not infused Amulets. From what I read, you can only get infused Amulets from Fractals. I am unsure if the Rings are going to be the same as well.

The Ascended back items are still Fractals only.

The time to get them is RNG based as always. Hasn’t changed from what I’ve read. You could get them instantly, or it could take you weeks. All RNG still.

You can’t get Ascended items from W3 yet, except via the Achievement Laurels (token system) for dailies and monthlies (not sure if it counts PvP Achievements, although I don’t see why not).

Hope that helps.
