How do you feel about getting Ascended Gear?
1 2
I am not going for ascended gear and I’m not going for legendaries.
I don’t need them at all, to do anything, be it dungeons, WvW or PVE.
Someone having +3% stats compared to me is not going to change the outcome of fights.
Despite people complaining about the ascended gear being just another grind to get… you know the usual whining that people do….
By running difficulty level 2 fractals I had the item needed to craft the ascended back piece, Just from very casual play I had all of the skill points and ectos and most of the tier 6 mats needed, the rest I bought from the TP.
As for the rings, you get your first one at difficulty 10-11… I’m only on difficulty 4 atm and the dungeon itself is not difficult in comparison to other dungeons in this game and it’s actually fun and easy to find groups since everyone is doing it…
People will complain about anything, heck they even complain about handouts/free stuff that is given to them… this is definitely no exception. It doesn’t take loads of money to get this stuff, it takes playing the game the way you normally play. The only reason it’s going to take your life away or all your gold is if you’re so impatient you have to have the gear “RIGHT THIS SECOND” In which case you need to look at your own personal faults, not ArenaNet for adding something to the game.
Goodie for you. Some of us hate dungeons and will never do them. Why didn’t they make these available in wvwvw right away? It can’t be that hard. Yes, they added mandatory dungeon grinds to be competitive. thanks.
If you honestly think that the few stat increases from 3 items is going to give someone the edge or “ease” to kill you and stop you from being competitive… you must not be very good at pvp and suggest you stop.
Yes 20%+ better stats are minimal. Lol.

Am I missing something?
An ascended “Berserker” ring gives the following (not counting whatever bonuses may be provided by the infusion slot):
Red Ring of Death
+104 Power
+69 Precision
+8% Critical Damage
Ring
Required Level: 80
A non-ascended berserker ring with an Exquisite Ruby Jewel gives
Berserker’s Ring
+92 Power
+63 Precision
+6% Critical Damage
That’s 2% more critical damage (plus 12 power, 6 precision).
A person with full-ascended jewellery gets 12% more critical damage plus other stat bonuses. Hopefully infusions wont add 1% more cause then said difference increases to 18% (the infusions currently mentioned in gw2db do provide minor stat bonuses). If that ascended ranger is running a critical chance build that means he deals 12% more damage than a non-ascended 80% of the time (fury can be maintained pretty much indefinitely with appropriate skills/pets).
A person with ascended armour will probably get an extra 12% more critical damage and a person with an ascended weapon even more on top of that. That potentially sums to over 24% more critical damage that is devastating if you’re running a critical chance build.

It’s 3% overall change in your total character stats.
Get the maths right. You have innate stats at 80 alongside stats from gear. Do the maths properly, hint: taking items in isolation is not accurate.
Don’t blame a 3% change in stats for why you would lose a fight, that’s just weaksauce.

Nope. Add the stats.

its a 3% now, destined to increase to the 20%\40% overall incresing expected when the complete set will be released.
Because, like Guild Wars before it, GW2 doesn’t fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs.

You know, the treat your customers like mushrooms approach might just work this time. Just because it has blown up in the face of every mmo development team it doesn’t mean anet can’t pull it off right? Right?
Maybe the gw2 endgame is for us to watch the end of a game?
I haven’t gotten my first piece of ascended gear =\
The back item is RNG (even though they said pre release this would never happen). The ring at level 10 is also RNG because there is apparently a bug that stops you from getting it to drop 100% of the time.
It’s not a bug, it’s working as intended.
Someone having +3% stats compared to me is not going to change the outcome of fights.
Ascended and infusion rewards will be available in both PvE and WvW over time, and be made available through all sorts of content around the world including existing content. PvP will remain unaffected to ensure our intended PvP balance going forward.
Oh, but I’m sure that’s all in the interpretation.
They must have taken my marbles away.
But they gave me plenty of porous bones to compensate.

What does over time mean, and why should we be treated as second class citizens?

what about 12% critical hit damage? The Red Ring of Death gives 2% more critical damage over the exotic berserker ring with an exquisite jewel, so, once they are released, full ascended jewels probably grant roughly 12% more critical damage plus stat bonuses. Any ascended armour and weapons on top of that probably give you an extra 12% or so.
As a critical ranger my average critical chance is 80%, that means that with ascended gear I will potentially deal over 20% more damage than without it. That is a huge difference.
In reply to the OP:
I will not be getting ascended gear- I hate the direction this game is taking.
I will play the game as long as it allows me to play the way I want, while having fun doing it.
when that stops or becomes impossible, I will stop too.
