Why can’t ascended amulets be bought with pristine fractal relics?
Arguably fractal runners need it more than anyone else. They could make it cost more than rings, just like the laurel vendor sell rings for more than amulets. 15 or even 20 pristine relic for one ascended amulet seems fair.
They already added one currency to that update. There is currently a 1 currency per update policy, you’ll just have to hope that they add something else worthwhile to the fractals so they can use that one next time!
Well, since you can get 1, 2, 3, 4 pristine relics a day. The amulets would cost 120 relics.
But I agree. What should I do with my 50ish relics?…

Yup, that’s an awful policy to follow. At first I thought karma would be the unified account bound reward currency, but since they completely lost track of that I suppose that trend will continue.
Enjoy your mystic crowns, ethereal badges and heroic tokens or whatever when ascended helmets, gloves and boots are introduced…
10 badge of honor/ring is fair
10 badge of honor/ring is fair
Well, considering the Exotic Invader’s Ring costs 396 Badges of Honor, I’d say fat chance at that exchange rate.
If it were to ever happen, try 500-650, or possibly even more.
10 badge of honor/ring is fair
lol you can get 10 badges just wiping a zerg
10 badge of honor/ring is fair
lol you can get 10 badges just wiping a zerg
So and ring is ring. Of course better would be that you get those rings in mail when you ding lvl80.
10 badge of honor/ring is fair
No way. I can get 10 badges in WvW in 30 minutes some nights.
One fractal takes 1-1.5 hrs. You get one pristine per fractal, with the CHANCE of a ring from a daily chest.
Bump it to 30 or 40 badges. Lets be realistic…
The answer is simple really. Anet wants you to keep playing and have something new to work towards. Their way, not yours.
If you could just buy them with Fractal Relics, everyone would have them already. They would take no effort to get as most people have tons of Relics saved up, so they could just instantly buy them the instant they were released. Then of course, those same people would complain that there is nothing left to do anymore.
So Anet made yet another currency so no one could get them right away and instead, they have to farm a whole new currency (well not actually farm but you get my drift) to get the new items. In turn, keeping you playing to get the new items cause you have to use the new currency to get them. It is yet another gating mechanic after they said they weren’t going to do that anymore.
The downside to this is, when new Ascended items are released, are they going to keep making new currencies for each piece so we can’t buy them outright and have to work for them by farming a new currency? Does this mean that in order to get a whole set of Ascended I’m going to need to farm Relics, Tokens, Laurels, Coins, Medals, Badges, Trophies, Artifacts, Gems, Frogs, Pistachios, Emblems, etc etc etc just to get one set of gear? By then, we are going to have way too many currencies (ignoring the fact that we already do have too many) if this is the direction they keep going.
… which is absurd.
How can people not be upset by this? First, they eat their words on “no gear treadmill,” then they eat their words on “play how you like.” What’s next? Are they going to eat their words on “no monthly fees?” They do have the tools to do it with that little gem store of theirs.
But, anyway. I’m actually fine with each type of activity having it’s own currency. This means that people who enjoy any one type of activity can do their progression with that specific currency and not mess up the other currencies. It’s just that when some currency is clearly superior, like laurels, that are not only artificially capped in scarcity, but also offer TONNES of unique rewards, including performance increasing rewards, while other types of currencies, like pristine relics and badges of honor, are dirt cheap and useless. They are clearly playing favoritism on one part of the player base, and not the others. I mean, why would you even want ascended gears if you don’t step foot in WvW or fractals? Autoattacking dungeon bosses or farming DEs too difficult? There is no point. This is not acceptable.
Well if they would you would have ppl crying about fractal becoming the end all be all. I mean realty coming in here and saying that ppl eat there words on views they do not have that has NOTHING to do with what ppl are talking about.
Any way we truly have no idea what going to happen in the next few months or even this coming up month i suggest holding on to every thing until then things may changes if not the system as is painfully easy to get items it just takes some amount of time. If you just wanted things handed to you then mmorpgs are not for you your better off playing an fps where every thing is unlocked day one and you quit playing it day 2.

Way to read nothing then display pure stupidity by speaking up.
I never said progression needs to be removed. I said fractals REQUIRE ascended items, so I should be able to acquire ascended items through the fractal currency.

I’m only asking for the amulets. There are many other unique rewards you can get with laurels that has nothing to do with ascended items.

I think that’s the point. Fractal is already rewarding enough. You are kind of saying the only thing rewarding to do is daily and fotm.
People always complain there is nothing to do with their deck of pristine relics and stash of ascended ring…. but look at it this way, if you already have so much of it, and you still do it everyday. It is already rewarded enough that you still do it everyday.
and most fractal runners still do dailys, I can’t say its the same the other way around.

I don’t care about being rewarded enough. And I think a lot of the fractal runners are indeed only playing for the sake of playing. The so called rewards are just there to allow you to pass the gear check. I care that I cannot finish lv 40+ without exploits. The farmers can get their DPS numbers however big and that’s none of my business.

good for you. Tell it to the other people who complain the only place to get any money or reward is in fotm.
and you already should get your ascended amulet tomorrow right? so I don’t know why you are complaining.

Only people who have never set foot in fotm would say that’s the only place to get money or reward. (Hello? CoF 1?) Their opinions are uninformed and irrelevant.
There’s at least a few more days until the first amulets can be bought, and that’s for only one character. For anyone who has more than one character, this will take about half a year. And this is only for one slot. In that same timeframe more slots will have been released. Thereby creating the gear-treadmill that none but a select few can keep up with.

shh, anet going to nerf cof1 lol. ya I think that’s the problem with the game. fotm, cof1, than what?
I felt bad I have 1200 playing hours with no legendary and another guy with 1000 hours already have 2. My playstyle is basically not rewarded.
Nah you can already get your ascended tomorrow. Do your monthly. And I understand your complaint. But so is those that wvw and wonder why they not only have to wait for their amulet but ring too. Your complaint is not particularly a fotm problem, it’s the same for everyone.
and I don’t really care if anet allow fractal runner to buy amulet. I’m just saying that’s why anet didn’t alllow fractal runner to buy amulet. Because they do get complain from those wvw player or people who dont’ like to do dungeons.

Well, considering the Exotic Invader’s Ring costs 396 Badges of Honor, I’d say fat chance at that exchange rate.
If it were to ever happen, try 500-650, or possibly even more.
Yeah but invaders gear is so far overpriced its not funny. Its like anet didn’t what the average badge drop would be and I guess they’re afraid of lowering the price now because some (a minority) would cry foul.

Ya I mean I just spend 90 minutes and do AC run, I already have a piece. Those invader gear sure are expensive.
And to the OP, I’m not sure what you mean by the first post. If you mean the gear tredemile, people are alerady speaking up. You just need to visit the other post with 300 reply.
Everything you are complaining and mostly everything being complaint here is covered by other post too. Ascended gear being alt unfriendly. Non fractal runner have to wait 2 month for rings and can’t get their back piece. People with decks of pristine relics and stash of ascended rings find no use…. etc etc, people already have speak up in other post.
And yes, people are complaining about high level fotm and jade maw being undoable because of agony.

10 badge of honor/ring is fair
So you should get 2 rings just for doing the JP in EB and one of the borderlands?
The biggest problem is that once you have the rings you want from FotM, every char is decked out with 20 slot bags and you finally get the Fractal weapon skin you want, there is no more point to doing Fractals at all anymore unless you hate your bank having any available room in it.
The only reason I continue doing FotM is because I want the Fractal GS but my bank cant hold much more, I have 5000+ Fractal Relics and 45 Pristine Fractal Relics and nothing to get with them so all they are doing is eating up an entire bank slot almost along with the bank slots holding my 34 rings that cant be sold, mystic forged or salvaged.
There should be a few changes in my opinion, we should be able to upgrade relics to pristine relics, we should be able to buy ascended gear with pristine relics and we should be able to do SOMETHING with all these rings.
Rings were made available through Laurels because people complained that they wanted to be able to get them if they didn’t want to play FotM, and I think its great that they gave people that option but ascended gear is the only way to get higher AR to be able to progress higher in FotM so it only makes sense to be able to acquire that gear through doing FotM.
I do enjoy doing FotM, I do a 26 or 28 daily and a 30-36 daily as often as I can but after I get my GS my bank can’t handle it anymore and I will have to stop doing them and that sucks.
For those that will inevitably give me ideas on what to spend relics on, I have all my mats for a legendary already so have no need for shards or skill points, I have 3 ascended back pieces and every char I have is decked out with 20 slot bags so I am just stuck pileing up all these relics.
I agree, Amulets should cost 20 pristine relics or so.
@Edit
Although the prices on laurel vendor (35L each ring, 30L amulet) makes me think they want people to get rings on FotM and amulets by spending laurels.

ya I mean what are you goign to do after you buy your amulet with pristine relics? keep complaining?
That’s precisely why developer don’t hand out everything at once and only slowly release things to keep people interested.
Everything you said is valid, I’m just saying if you are in the developer’s shoes, you’d do the same thing. I agree with pretty much everything people complain. But on the other hand I do understand why the game developer do what they do.
People complain about gear tredemille, on the other hand people also complain about not having things to do.
I always remember my first character, I got full exotic get my world completion and I asked myself then what?

I’m fine with laurels still being the easiest way to acquire ascended amulets, just as long as pristine relic is an option.
ya I mean what are you goign to do after you buy your amulet with pristine relics? keep complaining?
No. I get on to playing my fractals as developers originally intended. And patiently wait for new fractals to be released. Unlike some people, I actually play the game for fun.

Ok you don’t need to insult me. the “unlike some people part”.
Since you can patiently wait for new fractals to be release, you can patiently wait for your amulet too, and you can patiently progress through fotm level80. I think it’s common sense agony is just a mechanism to stop people from reaching fractal level80 and think they are done with the game.
And I do hope they make pristine relic tradable for amulet too. 20 pristine relic is like lol, I can do that in 5 days. I just need to get my 3rd and 4th alt to fotm10. I’m sure it’s even eaiser for other people at high level fotm since they can do multiple daily with multiple alt.

Right, back to first post again: The point is not that it takes too long. It’s that it’s impossible to get ascended amulet from fractals.

and you don’t do your daily? don’t lie. pretty much everyone bother with fotm bother doing their daily.

Then the obvious solution is to make every already existing ascended item (and the future ones, as soon as they get introduced) accessible not only in fractals, but in any other form of gameplay – laurels, dungeon token vendors, crafting, event chests, WvW vendors, karma vendors, TP.
All at once, and as soon as possible. Without waiting few more months between introducing one method, and without limiting some pieces to one type of acquisition only.

Because they don’t have the new content ready to accompany those new gear. And they dont’ want people to get full ascended so fast that they think they are done with the game.
Not only that, they don’t want to tell people “sorry that you did AC 30 times for your exotic, now do it 300 more times for your full ascended” Or telling people they need to spend 100 gold per piece to craft ascended item.
They rather release everything bit by bit, so it’s not as grindy, but people won’t get it immediately and think they are done with the game.
I agree, people who are willing to put in the time and effort to do fractals should be able to buy amulets with pristine relics.

Yes, that’s what irritates me the most – they realized they don’t have new content, so they slapped together a new eq tier in a hurry as a stopgap measure, to give them a breathing space. When what they really had to do was to not release the game until they had a content for at least a full year of releases.
And they dont’ want people to get full ascended so fast that they think they are done with the game.
And instead ended up with people quitting the game due to ascended. Good job there.
Not only that, they don’t want to tell people “sorry that you did AC 30 times for your exotic, now do it 300 more times for your full ascended”
I see no difference between that and “now do Fractals 30 times to get your ascended rings”
Or telling people they need to spend 100 gold per piece to craft ascended item.
I hope they won’t use triforge as basis when estimating ascended prices. They should not be worth that much.
They rather release everything bit by bit, so it’s not as grindy
So, making it “not as grindy” means making it harder and more tedious to get. I see.
but people won’t get it immediately and think they are done with the game.
So, what they are going to do at the beginning of 2014, when all the ascended will be out and first group of people fully equipped in them will appear? Introduce another tier or level cap raise, to make all that year-long eq gathering effort a waste?

On getting some use on those relics and rings. I think they could incorporate a mystic forge recipe to transmogrify rings into amulets.
They can work this way:
One set of rings (such as lunaria+solaria) + X gifts of ascension (# dependent on how much time they think it should take) + mist essence = 1 amulet of the same type (eyes of abaddon, eye of janthir, or syzygy in this case).
the type of mist essence is used to determine what infusion slot you get. 9 vials = offensive, 3 glob = defensive, 1 shard = utility.
Also implement another random recipe that takes 2 rings not of the same set and spits out a random amulet.
Done.

There’s also level cap increases, so even if ANet won’t announce new gear at the start of 2014, if they time it right, they could tide players over with level 90 ascended gear, or whatever the new level and stat cap will be. Just stopping the gear progression indefinitely is obviously not an option.
