So, Ive just built a Mjolnir, which on Charged Lodestones only costs almost 600g, way more than the cost of an Ascended, but still its stats are equal to exotic. I think I deserve better stats than Ascended weapons for my effort.

So, I was thinking that we could upgrade those rare weapons (like Mjolnir) stats to a new tier superior than Ascended. And then, Legendaries would be yet another tier, superior than Mjolnir.

Its very unfair that people who dont wanna make the effort to get a Mjolnir, or an Eye of Rodgort, Volcannus, etc have the same stats as we do.

Have fun.

Yes, i agree! It’s just unfair and arena must look into this issue. I suggest to add new legendary tier(like divine with black and fiery stroke name effect) and to get one of those ppl will need to forge all available legendaries together.

I made a topic like this for the Volcanus and it fell on deaf ears. I agree with you 100% but since the amount of people that this impacts is so small no one will care besides the people who have them. I ended up having to reskin my sword with the ascended one that I made.

Honestly, if we’re going to add a new tier, let’s add it DOWNwards. You know, broken gear which is richer in basic salvage material (like cloth bits) but sells like crap.

You paid 600g for the aesthetics, if you wanted to pay for ascended stats, make an ascended weapon.

It’s not about stats, it’s about looking pretty and having bragging rights. The cost of Mjolnir or Eye of Rodgort or Volcannus, or even the legendaries is driven by the market demand, especially of the raw materials, not necessarily what the finished items are. Charged lodestones are needed for several legendaries which, in part, is why the cost is so high and as result Mjolnir is so expensive. An item requiring an equal amount of glacial lodestones is equally rare by category, but at under 12s per lodestone, they’re vastly cheaper due to demand. By your definition more expensive should mean more powerful, which is not the case. …nor should it be the case.

We, maybe not you or I, screamed for more gear tiers. Exotics were too “laughably easy” to obtain.

I’d see ANet adding new gear tiers in future, when they come in torgether with new functions that give the tier a reason to exist.

I could see for example the implementation of “Epic” Weapons, that could come with the convenient function of changeable max type upgrade sigils, like legendaries can change outside of battles at any given time, epic weapons could give the game the function of beign able to change outside of battles the sigils.

Epic Weapons could be same as powerful like Ascended/Legendary Weapons, but could be for example very special and rare drops, that you could receive only as rewards from world bosses, dungeon bosses or from mystic forge, by throwing an ascended weapon into the mystic forge together with some other items.

Legendary Weapons could get automatically upgraded with that feature, so that they functionally stay the ultimate best weapons of all. Thats something that I could see becomine a new legit tier of equipment, which could work for armors ect. in regard of runes to enable players theire much easier access to rune sets, lettign runes and sigils become unlockable accountbound upgrades, that once owned, can be used always again and don’t need to permanently be bought ect.

Another legit new tier of equipment I could think off are “Sagacious” items.
Sagacious items could just be a higher tier above legendary items, with the function to add to the player also other passive visual effects, like a permanent “swiftness boon” visual effect, that makes your character look, like running faster than others or a permanent “Aegis visual effect” so that the shield visual is always seeable, even if you have not aegis active at the moment.

But these kind of items could add also other passive visual efects to the play,er like Auras… think of the wind catcher wind effect? using a special wind themed sagacious weapon for example could give your character that wind aura of the wind catcher back item, without having to wear that back item.

So in regard of adding new features into the game, ways are basically open for more equipment tiers and as long these new tiers wouldn’t be more powerful in regard of stats, everythign would be fine.

Adding new functions that make the game more convenient for the player or add just cosmetical effects, is absolutely ok, because such features make such equipment purely optional for the player.

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

I think this is a good topic, and yes I think a gear treadmill or grind is bad (from old MMO’s), but it is only bad when the gear contains no value or incentive. And that is the problem currently with the gear system, it holds no value, and certainly no incentive.

I am willing to go through hell and then some if I can obtain something that is a reward for my work, Ascended surely isn’t, Exotic isn’t either, because Exotic isn’t even exotic or rare to find. Why call it Rare or Exotic if it isn’t, why did they make it “easy mode” on that stuff? High gear should be hard as hell to obtain, and it should have a respectable reward in statistics for doing so, make the player want to work hard for something. Yes forcing crafting or making things take months to accomplish is quite ridiculous, but having hard content to achieve it is not, in fact that is fun.

Yes I UNDERSTAND that the Anet/Guild Wars ideology was to not have gear be a central aspect to completing content, but if you have 5 tiers of gear with all of them so close in stats, and I don’t need it for content, then why should I do extra work to get the better stuff? I care a little about what I look like, but it isn’t the end all be all. If that is the case make all gear just one tier and just add stats to them. The problem is not that there are too many tiers or not enough, it is the stats / tier difference and the low value of gear at any level which is hurting the game. (my opinion of course)

Players always want more to do, players will work hard for a reward, grinding mindlessly or forced crafting for useless gear does not accomplish that, working towards an achievable goal for a respectable reward with incentive for being able to do more content, I think would go a long way to having players satisfied with their progress.

Because you want to and have the option available to do so if you wish, that’s all. People that enjoy putting in the time and effort with the gear as the goal will do so. Others that want the gear may wind up purchasing much of the materials and getting it more quickly. You have more options.

How can you claim the vast majority wanted it when these forums have been full of complaints about it?

Did you miss all the threads about more gear grind or people leave shortly after launch? The main kitten about ascended right now is because it’s crafted and account bound. Yes, plenty of people still complain that we have it, period, but the loudest complaints have been due to acquisition not that it exists. (Please note that I’m not saying that there haven’t been plenty complaints about its existence)

How can you claim Anet delivers on what the player base wants after the Fractured update, leaderboards, poorer rewards?

I never said all of their decisions were the best or brightest. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to do the Thermenova Reactor story while fractured was available, but I have enjoyed the Aetherblade and Molten Alliance fractals that were added since then.

They are still working on revamping rewards. We’ve been told this, they aren’t done with it yet. I’m still waiting for DE reward revamps. I’m willing to give them time. Development isn’t done with a magic wand, and depending on their code and what their revamp entails it could be quite a bit of work.

Leaderboards…….. hahahahahahahahahahahaha clears throat hahahhahahahahaahahaha sorry, couldn’t help it.

This game was sold on a no gear grind policy and it was over run when new team leaders came in.

Business plans change. Nothing ever goes according to plan honestly, and they have to adjust to what their player base wants not just what they want to do. Additionally, they have to answer to a higher power. It’s a business, they have to make a profit, which sometimes require they do things they may not necessarily want to.

Good business sense would be to release expansions not half kitten ’d LS content implemented for the sole purpose of justifying random gem store items.

Living Story was something we were aware was going to happen before launch. Some of us like it. Also, its not their choice when to release an expansion, that is something that is dictated to them.

There is a reason player numbers have dropped.

Dropped and gained. Dropped and gained again. And again. And likely to happen repeatedly for the lifetime of the game. The same as every other MMO on the market. You make it sound like it’s some unheard of thing. Not every game is for every person. Not every decision is going to jibe with every player. Some will stay, some will go. Just how it works.

We are not the developers. We cannot see the information that they see. We can make assumptions, we can spout conjecture, but at the end of the day the only people that know are the ones that work at Anet.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

So, Ive just built a Mjolnir, which on Charged Lodestones only costs almost 600g, way more than the cost of an Ascended, but still its stats are equal to exotic. I think I deserve better stats than Ascended weapons for my effort.

So, I was thinking that we could upgrade those rare weapons (like Mjolnir) stats to a new tier superior than Ascended. And then, Legendaries would be yet another tier, superior than Mjolnir.

Its very unfair that people who dont wanna make the effort to get a Mjolnir, or an Eye of Rodgort, Volcannus, etc have the same stats as we do.

Have fun.

So what your saying is, you spent 600g and our sorry you did. Now you want a “free” boost in weapon stats.

How about no. I had to spend time and gold to make my acended weapons. At most it should be brought in line to acended weapons at MOST. Or simply, buy a trans crystal so you get the stats you want. You had 600g you can afford it.

If you had 600g to craft Mjolnir, I think you’ll be fine crafting an ascend weapon to transmute it.

But thats not the problem. The thing is I gotta be rewarded for my effort, so I should be stronger than someone who can only get an easy to acquire ascended weapon.

You are rewarded, except it’s with a rare skin instead of higher stats.

Also, why should you be stronger?

Just say NO to carrot chasing!

Well, I don’t mind a good carrot chase… but I prefer them to be reasonable, and there are much better options than climbing stats in my opinion. We all need things to work towards…

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Yes, like the carrot being Scarlet and the goal line being the Ring of Fire where we can pitch her in with no escape.

So, Ive just built a Mjolnir, which on Charged Lodestones only costs almost 600g, way more than the cost of an Ascended, but still its stats are equal to exotic. I think I deserve better stats than Ascended weapons for my effort.

So, I was thinking that we could upgrade those rare weapons (like Mjolnir) stats to a new tier superior than Ascended. And then, Legendaries would be yet another tier, superior than Mjolnir.

Its very unfair that people who dont wanna make the effort to get a Mjolnir, or an Eye of Rodgort, Volcannus, etc have the same stats as we do.

Have fun.

600g is peanuts, anet could add recipes to make moderately expensive items ascended at best but better than ascended? no way lol

Haha, I like that scenario. A sacrifice to Balthazar (although he probably don’t want her either)

No

We don’t need a vertical gear treadmill. You don’t deserve higher stats because you forged a rare skin. If you want the higher stats, transmute it to an ascended weapon.

If another tier is introduced a lot of players ( myself included) will probably leave. Enough is enough already.

Yes, more tiers! I mean, it’s not like Arenanet hasn’t been getting a kittenstorm of hate from the player base already over ascended gear, let’s make it worse!

No.
You where rewarded with the skin, that is what you crafted.
Your playing the wrong game.

I understand where you’re coming from in terms of paying more for what you expected was… Well, more.
I feel the same way about Legendaries, especially as they’re 4x the amount as Mjolnir, but one of ANet’s main aims was to discard any unfair methods to getting largely improved Gear, but then again, I agree with what you’re saying, but for the extras to be added onto Mjolnir wouldn’t make a Huge difference compared to the Gear 1 Tier below, so idk what ANet has planned for us this Year, but lets just hope something is applied to suit all Gear if they are going to add to Gear like Mjolnir. I did have a few ideas in mind, but I’ve scrapped them considering what you’ve said
