Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this has already been brought up :

Apparently the pvp legendary backpack “the ascension” features an upgrade slot, which isn’t for infusions, but rather for upgrade components like ruby jewels, queen bee, etc.

Is this a bug ? I sure hope it is, considering that legendaries aren’t supposed to give any stats advantages to a player (except swapping attributes), if we slot an exotic jewel it would give around 55 more stats than a regular ascended backpiece, which is completly unfair imo.

Must be a bug IMO but who knows.

This is terrible. Must have been an oversight.

I hope not. It looks like a junk so let it have some stat advantage at least.

Likely a bug, as it’s probably meant to be a defensive/offensive infusion slot, not an upgrade slot.

It SAYS that its an upgrade slot, but it actually houses infusions.

But even if it was for upgrades, that should not be a big deal, 25/15/15 isnt that much.

The chances of this simply being a tipo or oversight are very high.

Infused Backpacks right now provide:
- Unused Offensive or Defensive Infusion Slot (depends on recipe)
- Agony Infusion Slot

So if indeed there were a slot for upgrades, it’s likely overwriting the Offensive/Defensive Infusion Slot. I doubt arenanet are going to have people infuse legendary backpacks.

Having Legendary Backpack (Infused) as name is very unappealing.

That being said, let’s hope they get on that and fix this for clarity.

Have to disagree. A lot of players would see this as legendary backpieces being mandatory (no matter how big the stat benefit were). Legendarys should not be mandatory.

I guess the question is does it allow a utility infusion?

I will test this. I got my backpack today.

EDIT: Not bugged. Orbs and exquisite jewels can not be put into them.
