Guild Wars 2

I just did this not to long ago, AND was not aware, but I bought two of the same unique ascended rings from a laurel vendor. For those of you who don’t know, you can NOT equip the same named items when it comes to ascended rarity. Luckily, support was kind enough to give me a ring a should have got with the same stats.

Point is I believe there should be some kind of warning before you buy ascended gear addressing the fact you can not equip two of the same kind of ascended item. If support didn’t help me out, i would have been out 25 laurels+250 badges and had a item I had no use for.

Or…just do a few minutes research before making a serious purchase.

Cool to hear you got refund though

yea this has been a longstanding issue, and has caught many people offguard, I think they should just get rid of that rule completely as I cannot see it serving any purpose

Glad someone got a refund, I sure didn’t.

Infuse one of them in the mystic forge, then you can wear both normally.

They really need to change this. I think it’d at least save the hassle for support for dealing with kind of thing.

I didn’t either, and I’d never contacted support before the issue. I can’t help wondering how it works that people with the same issues, some are helped and others aren’t. A year later and it seems people still make this mistake so perhaps the info should be put in game rather than only being found on the wiki and outside sources.

Well seeing how it effects the game, That kind of info should be in the game. I don’t always visit forums or wikis. I log on and play. That’s it. So if there’s info being held outside of the game it’s not really fair to those who just play the game not visiting forums. They need to add a current news/info thing you can access in game to.

Goodness, thank you for the warning, it’s so counter intuitive since so many items have names that make them already feel ‘unique’ >.<

Eh just do Fractals for a bit and you can get the right one, along with filling up your bank with rings you don’t need and can’t do anything with but sell for 4.95s…

To be fair, I reasoned pretty quickly that the “Unique” identifier meant you could only equip one of it, though I do agree it should be a lot more clear that this is the case before you buy another one and try to equip it.

All the talk they had about making things less confusing for players more new to the genre, and this could easily trip up MMO veterans. I do believe this problem is due for review at some point, although it’s admittedly a pretty minor problem for Anet.

“Unique” should be in bold red font with a short definition. Armor bought with badges and karma also need some sort of warning saying you cannot salvage or mystic forge them.
