Guild Wars 2

You have got to be joking. You people at anet think that you can give us a character slot and sit back and laugh about it. they give us a free slot, which would have been fine if not for them buffing ascended. it already cost around 400g [not counting weapons] to make 1 set but with the new slot, if you wanted to use it you would have to make 2 sets 1 for your main and 1 for this new class [and yes you have to make ascended now because they are giving it a big buff]. unless you have played this class before, you will want to play around with new builds but when the gear cost this insane amount of money, you can forget about it. This is where you can see what they are up too. they are buffing ascended because most players will have to buy gems to be able to afford it. All that means is more people buying gems for real money feeding anet’s greed. so anet, please dont buff ascended because it will kill new players because they have no g, and it will kill old players like me and those like me because if this acended stuff goes through, i will quit the game.

You are a bit late to the party.

Also, calm thy mammaries, sir.

What big buff? Ascended is, has been, and will be 5% stronger/better/whatever term you prefer than Exotic. No change, other than being able to change your stats with a recipe in the MF….

They confirmed in an early post that ascended will not be buffed. Any future progression will be done through the mastery system, not new gear. The 5% advantage that ascended gear will give you will remain at 5%.

“Ascended Gear will be staying 5% better than Exotic Gear. Gear beyond the tiers we already have are not going to be added and our existing tiers won’t change, they won’t be our main end-game form of progression for your characters/account for all the reasons we’ve covered before – it isn’t what we think Gw2 is about.”

Ascended stays at 5%. But you will be able to swap stats. As per post stated by Colin

Is this Thief specialisation confirmed then? The Yamsandjams Elite Specialisation?

Calm down. Believe me I hated that data mined info too, but Colin confirmed that it’s not going to happen. Plus they are giving us a way to swap stats so anyone with boxes of useless stat ascended gear can finally change them to something useful.

Indeed. Which I’m absolutely stoked about. I’ve been saving all my useless garbage stat gear boxes and I’m looking at a full light amor set now without needing to touch tailoring

Quality A Grade thread mate. Try to do some research next time.

I believe that change was already reverted, Ascended stays as is but you can change stats in the forge.

I’m just confused how the announcement of character slots for vets has anything to do with Ascended in the first place, even if it was getting buffed.

You’re a day late to the protest and holding up a picket sign for something not happening mate. Can we put down the pitchforks now and have one week of complaining about the new patch instead. lol

OMG…. nothing is ever enough for some people….

Here is an idea, go back to WOW and leave this game to people who can read, care, and possibly understand.

In other news, the new class Revanant confirmed.

Don’t care about the character slot, I’m satisfied because they are giving refunds to the people that have purchased the game since HoTs announcement, at which time they clearly stated that you would need to have purchased the base game beforehand to play HoT. That was just wrong, in every way, and left thousands of people feeling as if ANet had flat out conned them, which they pretty much had.

That said, I’m still not prepurchasing the expansion, and I prepurchased the base game. What they’ve show so far, hasn’t shown the game to be worth $50, especially since half the features they are adding are guild related things that the base game should have launched with or at least had patched in. Maybe release or more previews will change my mind, or maybe I’ll be waiting for the inevitable sale price a few months after initial release.
