Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,
I am Lucas of the Desert, i am from Austria but i play on the Underworld Server [EU] right now. My Question is: If you introduce a new max-stat gear what happens with the other “endgame gear”?

What happens with our exotic items? Will we have a disadvantage over players with Ascended Gear? What happens to all those great Mystic Forge items like The Foefire´s Essence, Infinte Light, Mjolnir or Halloween Exotics?

I am not a hardcore player, i managed to have a full exotic gear by now and my next goals were a sapphire pendant and the Anomaly… Will these items really have lower stats than the new average items? Or do you plan on making the Ascended gear so rare and hard to get that only a few can afford it?

So you have 2 options: You abandon every exotic weapon/armour or you give a handful of player a minor advantage.
Eitherway I personally am not very happy with this announcement. I played and adored GW1 and it´s the same with GW2 but i have a bad feeling about this..

Yours, a dedicated fan for almost 4-5 years i think,
Lucas

Ascended weapons aren’t coming out this update so we can hold off dealing with exotic weapons for now.

Dont worry bro, the only thing coming out now will probally be a ring and maybe a bag dont expect to much for it for now. If I were you i would just go for the Anomaly and the other thing you wanted, both great items and ascended gear is probally not even close to the sapphire pendant

The back and a ring are all thats coming out at first but they plan on putting an entire set out and “soon”. Also ascendent is about 8% better than a exotic.

So take it as you will, but when they put out full sets of ascendent, exotics will be nigh on worthless.

Except for their skins.

Well i thought a little bit about it and i´ve come to the conclusion that i will go for The Anomaly becasue it indeed has an awesome skin. I´ll even take into account that i have to farm an ascended gear later on so i can transmute it :/

But the Sapphire Pendant is completly broken. Pls tell me if i am wrong but it has no skin whatsoever is curently worth 30g and will be useless when the first Ascended necklace comes out…

Btw: they said that they will continue to add Ascended gear with later patches. But that was obvious. If they just introduce one item with better stats then they have to introduce the rest too :/ so it´s just a matter of time until some items eventually even all exotics will get obsolete…
