Guild Wars 2

I actually love what was done in the latest patch. I think it did a lot to bring more people together in Tyria and to make our accounts feel more integrated. I’m so excited for the megaservers, and grateful for the account bound dyes and wvwvw experience! I think another good idea was allowing our ascended gear to be account bound. I’m glad you are sticking to the manifesto in that you recognize that you don’t want the game to be a grind.

One problem, however, is that many of us have obtained ascended gear for each toon based on the current meta in order to be the most useful to our guild groups. For example, some people may have invested heavily into multiple berserker sets or other crit sets. Now I fully agree that crits needed to be toned down, and I thank you for that! But please now see this from our perspective. I have a Mesmer with full, ascended berserker gear, and I really felt like it was time to try the thief class. So I invested quite a bit of time into the thief, finally obtaining my ascended berserker gear.

Unfortunately, now with the inclusion of ferocity and account-bound ascended gear, one of my sets seems worthless. Given the scope of the changes in this patch, I don’t think the players are asking much by asking for an equipment re-roll. You’ve done that before for us, and I know at least from my point of view that it was highly appreciated.

So please consider my request—echoing those of other people offering reasonable patch feedback—to offer us the opportunity to re-roll our stats and take advantage of some of these changes.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I myself would very much like to re-roll my ascended armor. It was not too long a go that I’d finished setting it up but have now found that to achieve the stats I desire, that I need to pretty much throw my armor into the bin and create a new set entirely, on top of replacing 3 of my trinkets. So the amount of time that’s going to take is many months based on how I play.
Yes I did expect that I was going to need to replace some equipment with the introduction of this patch, but I didn’t think it was going to be a case of me having to replace all of my armor and 3 of my trinkets (which is about half of my gear down the drain). I don’t have a problem with the whole trinkets needing to be replaced, but the armor side of thing’s I do. Had I known the changes were going to be so drastic, I’d have decided against investing into my ascended armor and just waited till the patch was done.
I was not running a full Berserker set either, My set was mostly designed for solo roaming, capping camps solo and being a front line zerger whenever I did join the zerg.
So it would be nice to you know, be able to change the stats this one time to suit the current gear setup I’ve created.
