Guild Wars 2

“Box of Ascender Armor” it says. Sounds like, you know, a box of ascended armor.

Two weeks I dedicated to finishing that collection. Doing run after run of Dragon’s Stand, putting up with disconnects, not getting into maps despite turning up 15 minutes early because the game has no queuing system after 4 years..

And then only getting a box of armor 2/5 completions with 200% participation, too.

Finally get my reward.

Choose a box of ascended armor! Yes! Then it says choose a chest of ascended armor! Yes!

And then from the chest choose one piece.

What the kitten.

All that work for a single piece of ascended armor? That is the worst reward for such a long time investment in the entire game. What’s worse is that the phrasing mislead me in such a way that I didn’t even think to check on the wiki because it seemed so clear. They wouldn’t possibly just give you a single piece of armor – it would say that, right? And after such a massive time investment – surely not!

I am so frustrated.

Oh, and that Heart and Minds mission – fix it. It’s been 2 years almost. It is buggy as hell, still.

Yea boxes have always been 1 pieace each box as rewards, only in crafting can you make boxes that give full set of exotic if you have the correct recipe

Edit
Be glad you dident get a Teq hoard and think it would be more then one weapon

I meant almost a year, yea, not sure where that came from.

I’ve crafted those boxes, that’s why I assumed it was the same. Need some time away from the game now. My mistake or not, it’s soured me on it completely.

Since you can buy the Leystone armor pieces you need from the vendor for HoT map currencies, it’s actually a very easy way to get a single piece of Ascended armor. Completing Bioluminescent armor was far more difficult, and it only gives one piece of Ascended armor.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience, though. Nothing ruins a cupcake like the expectation of a full cake.

Getting a set of Ley Stone armor was never hard, even before they made it easier with the April 2016 patch (in worst case rushing 18 times through the story mode, so like 40 hours in total). So it looks obvious to me, that you only get a single piece of ascended armor from it.
Actually I am even suprised that the Envoy I collection gives a free set of ascended armor.

Why would you be surprised by that? Envoy Armor is the precursor to legendary armor. How would you get your legendary armor set if you don’t get a full precursor set? Besides, you can get only 1 set of legendary armor based on what we have now; it’s a non-repeatable process. One piece of legendary armor doesn’t make sense any which way you put it, while ascended armor can be obtained through various methods and is not all that difficult to obtain either. And ascended armor is usually an end goal, while Envoy Armor is the first step towards a legendary set. The two can’t be compared the way you compare them.

Envoy I is only the first precursor set (which you do not even have to sacrifice), so they could have made it exotic instead.

The wiki does have a note at the bottom clarifying that exact point, so you’re not the only one who’s made that assumption.

However, anyone who’s ever received ascended boxes from elsewhere will know they only ever gave 1 item per box, so it is consistent from that point of view. And I agree with the posters above that it is the easiest way to get an armor piece if you don’t fractal.
