Guild Wars 2

Can we ever expect these to be added? Or should I go ahead and spend the 135 laurels I’ve been holding on to?

Same for Snowflake Giver’s set

This has gotten beyond ridiculous. I’ve lost count of the number of patches that have passed since these items were confirmed to be added “in the next batch.” So, is this incoming? Or has this been forgotten about completely, because quite frankly, everyone has assumed the latter given the time elapsed.

There hasn’t been another batch yet.

That’s the point. The impression being given is one of laziness and neglect. This is especially true given the clear copy and paste mechanic of say, the new harvesting sickle.

No way, not possible; don’t tell me that even after this patch (5/28) they STILL have not added Carrion and Valkyrie ascended items?

;-)

Not sure difficult this is to put in…people been asking for a long time now.

It hasn’t just been asked for, it’s been promised.

I want Soldier/Valkyrie and Soldier/Berserker… been saving laurels and thinking if they’ll ever get in game.

I’d be terribly kitten ed if I spent 150~ laurels for all the Ascended Trinkets just to get the ones I really want implemented a week later.

dont expect valq and carrion gear… I will buy zerk amulet… Anet promise to the air…

They did however, take the time to condense the stats on the Ascended gear – something I’m not even aware of anyone asking for…

I never said anything about it, but it did kind of bug me.

any official response from Anet? why we cant get our stats?

There are zerker stats
Even arenanet realise what’s best (except for guardian maybe)

Here’s the thing. It’s been said directly by Anet that these stat combinations would be added. It’s been 3-4 months. That’s unacceptable.

Valkyrie and Carrion are part of the BASIC stat combinations that rolled out with the game. Yet the way they’re been overlooked is ridiculous, not just with ascended gear, but across the entire game.

Now in this time, they’ve prioritized the most ridiculous things and have literally even added new stat combinations (Sentinels/Azurite for example).

The standard response seems to be to ignore this, which quite frankly, just kills their credibility with the player base.

I would encourage Anet to remedy this ASAP, because this is a deal breaker for many of us.

ANet response to this topic: “We’ve pulled data and too many people use Valkyrie gear, and we feel this detracts from your experience. In an effort to push everyone towards the Berserker Warrior class, we are removing all Valkyrie-based items from the game.”

No Magi either, i gave up waiting..

Make a base Asecended ring a Ascended Jewel exact the same Exotic trinket system, ascended with fixed stats was a stepback in a great system.

I dont know why arena.net dont do this in the first place ? What is the issue ? They are just focusing in most useless infusions ( wow +5 to a stat, 1% damage to wvw npc, only +5 AR worth if you do fractal ) but the principal issue is still here after 6 months.

I have 112 laurels, 16 guild tokens and 12 fractal tokens and i still use Exotic trinckets, because i cant get a ascended amulet and earrings with the same stat combination of my exotic ones( Knight with Valkyrie jewel ).

Ascended valkyrie stats in June 11 patch please!

June 25, still no help here?

Now I am sad for this patch.

Hi Lokki !

Good to cya again!

Where’s Akard? He should show up any minute now.

I’m waiting on all my other dear friends that gather each month in this thread (and others like it)!

Hey guys, I say we start a new guild ….. “The Unascended” …. and our WvW guild emblem will be a blank space.

lol That would be great.

I was sitting there last night staring at the vendor my mouse hovering over the buy button when something in my head started speaking to me. It said “Patch tomorrow, don’t spend yet, you will regret it! They will put them in tomorrow! Wait and see!”

I lied to myself

Arkard.3970:

I actually prefer it uncondensed, its easier to compare with exotic gear that way.

As for not including the carrion and valkyrie its pretty ridiculous it wouldn’t take that long.

I don’t know, how long has it been now? 4 months? 5 months? Getting quite tired of the the same old temporary content kitten.

On a semi related note, I do note that they took the time to make new icon graphics for all the Dragon Bash food. Great prioritization there….

Been giving some thought to reversing my gear stats. Making my armor Valk, and picking up ascended jewelry to compensate for the lost stats on armor. But I haven’t done the math on that just yet to see how much percent of my stats come from Armor and how much from jewelry and back. Anyone else try this?

But guys…you got FREE content this month.

Did the math some time back. The armor stats are not equivalent to the trinkets. Trinkets give more. If you switch them around, you take a significant hit on Valk stats. I don’t recall the exact number, but the tinkets account for 1.5 – 2x more stats or something like that.

We’re still waiting for this. Jewelry has been in for ages, can we ever expect it to be updated with the rest of the stat types? Particularly those that have been around since the beginning?

While I feel your pain, I think they are never ever coming. At this point if they were coming they would be here.

Can we please just have an answer? Is it coming or not? I’ll probably come back and just buy some other ascended gear (or more likely change my spec ) even if you say no, but I feel like I’m stuck in limbo and can’t move forward. I’m just sitting on a pile of laurels…

Areana NET PEOPLE ARE SAVING THEIR LAURELS FOR THIS. HURRY UP AND ADD THE CARRION! (Angry condition thief)

Guys. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. It’s not coming. Someone decided not to include it as an option so it’s not an option. But ANet will never say that it’s not coming.

This really hurts build variety if exotic gear can have it but ascended can’t

I ran a carrion build a LONG time. I recently switched to Jatoro’s Armor. Personally, I would recommend trying a toughness build (Undead sigils rather than Necromancer sigils). Same build as carrion except you swap power for toughness. It really doesn’t hurt too much since a majority of a carrion build’s damage is in condition damage anyway. You can actually get much more CD than with carrion build if you set you traits accordingly and with this build and survivability goes way up too. There is also ascended gear that supports this build quite well. Jade Wind Orb and Vassar’s Band to name a couple.

Another thing “missing” from ascended gear is the buffed celestial stats. When celestial exotic armor came in, Anet buffed up its stats, and it ended up with higher critical damage than berserker gear. That made them worth picking as a secondary option for some professions. Meanwhile, the old celestial trinkets were never updated (except for the MF nerf), and remain useless.

Any news if they add Carrion or Valk this year?
