Guild Wars 2

Hi everybody, I don’t post in this forum often enough but I need to ask you all something:

The whole point in getting exotics and legendaries is to get cool skins, right?
If Anet introduced ascended gear, why do you think that the exotics that you acquired become obselete? Can’t you transmute them into your ascended? Isn’t that what legendaries and exotics are for?

If exotics is for looks and ascended is for stats, why can’t you just have the best of both worlds and transmute the two together?

Bizarre question. First off the point of Exotics is not cool skins its for the stats. Legendaries is for the cool skin. Anet is not iffing to add ascended gear they did add ascended gear. They do make Exotics obsolete because since Exotics are stat based and Ascended have better stats that essentially makes them obsolete.

There’s not a lot of use to transmute a ring or backpack.

You can, but currently there is a bug when transmuting items where the ascended/legendary item no longer retains its status as legendary/ascended. This makes it impossible to upgrade the ascended to the infused type, and makes the legendary skin be not recognized as a legendary.

1. Exotics are not obsolete because the new ascended tier is exorbitantly overpriced it cost alot of money for the ectos and t6 mats so not everyone is going to have it
2. Yes you will be able to transmute them
Personally ima ignore ascended items and continue working on my legendary Anet will probably pull another excuse and introduce another tier of gear eventaully

Just want to point out you get a ring at FotM 10 and another at 20 also you can get Ascended items from the dungeon drops as well. Not being able to afford it doesn’t remove the fact that they are better.
