Guild Wars 2

Isnt getting ascended armour and weapons through PvP too much?

Forcing PvP players (especialy the players who play only PvP) to do PvE things such as crafting is ridiculous, to get ascended armour and weapons which matters largely in PvE or so WvW ( but thats also PvP!). If you will use your current equip in PvP, then its different story of course but in this case….

But yes, lets say you have to craft the ascended equip thats the condition… but its necessary to keep the same requirements like for normal (PvE) way to craft?

Now i have to play ridiculous amount of pvp matches + get things for crafting in PvE or via trading post. No, thank you. I dont want to spend all this time or so wait untill i get enough materials for both requirements.

If we have to fulfill the condition (crafting) then OPTIMIZE the reguirement materials for BOTH (PvP materials (shards) and PvE (crafting)), because now the PvP players have to do 2 things to get ascended armour if they mainly play PvP or so if they choose this way to get ascended armour and weapons.

GW2 is special in character customization and this keep many players still playing GW2, because they want to get new skins and items, the skins and items they dont have yet and so on. I mean they also want another skins for ascended weapons only because the color so they can make new set of their overall equipment.

I wrote this based on many years of experience with MMORPG and by reviews from my friends who also play GW2. This is what we suppose, we think the main problem isnt the crafting at all, but the requirements for getting ascended via PvP matches.

Now, please, leave a comment so we can debate about this.

Thank you and see you in-game.

This was brought up in a few other threads already, both:

and

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Ascended-Shards-of-Glory-396-WINS-set/first#post6523100

I read them all, this is very irritating to me so i have decided to make new topic (yes i also read the rules of the forums, (avoid duplication of topics)). Despite the fact that I know i still made a new topic and im expecting the proper answer.

I really want an answer as well, an explanation as to why this was done and what the thoughts were behind it. It seems to have had a really negative impact on the PvP players. Lots of lopsided matches and extremely reduced player pool.

Players who only pvp don’t need ascended armour or weapon in the first place.

Thats bad suggestion mate… yes, PvP players dont need ANY equip so there are many reasons why PvP players will make ascended equip. Because its best equip in GW2 or they want the skins or maybe they will play PvE sometimes. Who knows.

And if they dont need ascended equip then why is this opportunity here?

Jindran.4327, their crafting system is a gold /gem sink hole, they need several types of players to support that that trap..

Besides the crafting mechanics in this game are weird thing, weirdest i hever saw…

I would say the crafting and reward system is a mess… and its getting worse than before ._.#

Thx anet for once again screwing with something and kittening everyone off.

Skipping this season along with everyone else in my guild.

The rewards were a little too steep and unbalanced. But their reaction to that was even worse. They massively devalued the worth of the pvp awards after people had obtained them. That more than changing the ability to acquire new ones is what left me feeling a little cheated. I’m also sitting this season out. Call it childish but it’s frustrating and playing the tourney is just a constant reminder on what I lost out on.

would be nice to get some asc gear so i can play wvw. (i dont pve, i only pvp)

so no i dont think people in my group will do crafting, was queuing ranked for 6 mins no match. unranked is working as normal so yea skipping this season

@ Jindran … did you even read your own post?!

- PvP-players are forced to play lots of PvP …. LOL
1. if you like pvp/fractals no one needs to force you to play
2. if you are a pvp player you dont need ascended gear at all
3. if you are a main pvp player you get Gold and you dont have to buy blue prints or bufffood so you can spend it on whatever you like

Whats left ?… crafting.
People who play PvE and WvW had to craft ascended gear since release. That are the only gamemodes you get value of ascended gear…. .
Now you can cry hours about crafting ascended gear for WvW/PvE regardless of other gamemodes you play > > or << you take it as it is … it’s a little price bonus (thats what anet told us) to get that gear easier when you play a lot PvP/Fractals anyway.

PS:
A lot of other people cried that getting ascended gear through pvp (season 5) is too easy and unfair … maybe there were some that did the same about fractals.
Now they changed it to the way it is. They mixed it all up.

Thank you and see you in-game.

There’s nothing to debate: if you want ascendent gear the best way to geit them is to forget PvP and just to craft them in PvE.

Use the ascendant shards to buy the skins for free (if you want) and forget entirely the “rewards”. I do play PvP for the rush of adrenaline; the “rewards” are gone, and I don’t longer think about that.

@Defuser,
1. Did i say anything about forcing PvP players to play PvP?
I wrote forcing PvP players to do PvE thing (crafting)
2. WvW is also PvP isnt it? And i wrote few another reasons.
“yes, PvP players dont need ANY equip so there are many reasons why PvP players will make ascended equip. Because its best equip in GW2 or they want the skins or maybe they will play PvE sometimes. Who knows.
And if they dont need ascended equip then why is this opportunity here?”
3. Yes, but what amount? I also wrote about time which take to buy materials.
“Now i have to play ridiculous amount of pvp matches + get things for crafting in PvE or via trading post.”

Yes it was too easy and now its too hard, so i want to balance it. Now, please before you react to my post again, read it, think about it and after that write a comment.

Remember when fractal/pvp vendors were supposed to be alternative to crafting? Yeah….. now you need 500 crafting anyway.
