Guild Wars 2

Thank you ANet for making it possible to gear up without having to run dungeons until my eyes bleed.

The new Laurel system sounds great!

and is not a cuss word to some folks like “crowns” appeared to be

Um, what did you see in the sample list of rewards that makes you say that?

I see boxes of random rare (yellow) quality items. Thats not going to displace Dungeon-farmed exotic (orange) armor for a heartbeat.

Ascended gear. It’s in the notes. Also, it was mentioned in other threads…Ascended gear being able to be purchased with laurels. Rings and Amulets and possibly back items.

So you are saying Ascended gear is rare quality?

That’s funny. You think that by doing a few dailies you’re gonna have a ton of ascended gear. I imagine the prices will be ludicrous for ascended gear.

I swear i saw somewhere that these may also possibly help with precursors? I know that it won’t be direct in any shape/way/form…but i’m pretty sure i read it in one of collin’s posts?

A step in the right direction….good enough for me. I’m in no hurry.

I don’t think so. They have no current dev schedule for revamping the way precursors are acquired. They’d like to in the future, but I think for now all he said is that they’re making playing the game and exploring the world (events and such) more rewarding. Whatever that means.

I could be wrong and maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I recall they never mentioned this being beneficial to legendary weapon progression.

Same. Patience is a virtue and more players need to think like that.

Collin’s post in another thread

He hints that it may be somewhat possible. “adding new ways you can earn precursors as rewards via new reward systems taking advantage of our open persistent world.”

I’m hoping it is…
