Guild Wars 2

Suggestion Thread:

Please remove the restriction preventing us from equipping 2 of the same ascended rings/accessories, or at least explain why this was ever implemented.

FYI please dont say oh just put on an alt or save for later, thats not the point of this post.
Its just a general suggestion for Anet, not because of a personal issue.

The restriction is there to prevent you from using not the two same ascended rings, trinket or whatnot but from utilizing the same type of infusion slots – offensive or defensive. That is why you cannot have two same rings with offensive infusion slots both. Same goes for defensive slots.

I guess this same made because these slots can be equipped with certain infusions that boost you stats, for example Mighty Infusion give not only +5 Agony Resist but also +5 Power but it can be slotted only in an offensive infusion slot.

there has to be a more conveient way of doing that

Actually hardcore dungeoneers have all the Infusion slots filled with those. They get the money needed quickly coz Dungeons are still, apart from the clever TP marketing, they best and most lucrative way to earn money.

thats not what I mean, was talking about the restrictions on it

Im not concerned about gold, laurels, badges, commendtions etc. I just think this is something that needs to be changed

Sorry am I missing something? My point is if I have 2 of the same rings/accessories I cant use them on the same toon, which forces me to buy another item with the same stats, which is kind of a waste. I know also a lot of players have this issue as well as being confused about not knowing about this restriction in the first place

What cheshire is saying is that you can upgrade one of the rings that makes it a different unique item. Thus you can have one unique uninfused version and one unique infused version.

ah ok I see now, but I’m saying that the restriction in the first place seems irrelevant and uneeded, I know theres ways around it, just seems inconvenient, especially for people that dont do fractals and dont have the mats to infuse them

If you have just recently bought 2 of the same unique ascended item, there is precedent for support to swap it for the other version (ie if you have 2 offensive, they might swap the new one obtained for the defensive version).

I dont think they should remove the unique tag for the reason given in this thread by eMKay, however I doubt anyone would really object if the unique nature of the rings was somewhat clearer.

Or they could add a vendor so you could swap an ascended ring for one of relevant stats. This might help alleviate the issue of those getting unwanted rings in fractals.

They should never have started putting unique items in game. And, Omni infusions are a complete and utter joke. You’d have to be super wealthy irl or plain nuts to waste the resources on those. I’d never spend the gold on any of the Agony with extra stats. Just ridiculously priced for content that’s not worth it.

@randulf, If that was directed at me then no I havent, this is just something Ive had an issue with for awhile and wanted to put up a suggestion thread. Didnt make it for me, otherwise I would have contacted support.

Lore wise, I suppose it makes sense for these unique items to be, well, unique to your character. The game makes them out to be special artefacts with a history behind them, and it wouldn’t make sense to equip two of something for which only one exists in the game world instance of your character.

Logic wise, the unique system seems like the easiest way to solve the infusion problem eMKay listed. I really can’t think of a more elegant solution.

kinda seems harsh that +5stat infusions that many dont use, should keep people from being able to use gear…little overkill isnt it?
