Guild Wars 2

One way to make the Ascended tier fiasco be more fair is to convert all current Exotic dungeon armor into Ascended.

That way people could continue to play the dungeons they like for the stats and skin they want, as opposed to “isolating” them out of older content.

Hum , i can understand where your request comes from. But there is also the problem which is , people that already got full dungeon armor will simple be converted to full Ascension gear , which then would make the whole point of adding the gear , the progression , disappear.

Still it is possible they convert the ones we can buy from now on? dont even know if they would go that far.

Scale up all dungeon lvl 80 equips to ascended tier, otherwise you will have wasted alot of people’s time and effort. seriously.

Arenanet is so bad at making games nowadays. Even I can keep promises better than they can. Why not allow me to design a system that works -.-

terrible, just terrible.

like a bunch of kids toying around with numbers and programming languages. Nobody actually thinking and keeping to the mission statement.

Hum im also waiting to see how this system will be implemented , IF they add many ways to get the new gear , i dont see any promised broken.

Can you point me to any dev saying that exo would be forever max stat gear? Cause the only promise i remember is that would always be able to get max stats gear many ways.

I don’t know if they will directly make dungeon exotics into Ascended. Especially in this patch because they are only adding rings and back pieces for now. However I do understand the concern that the dungeons may become irrelevant with the introduction.

But what they could do is make Ascended armor recipies that require a gift from the dungeons bought from tokens. That way doing the dungeons will still have a point and won’t be a waste of time.

I agree. I wouldn’t even mind if ANet made you perform a specific quest/feat to get your dungeon armour Ascended/Infused. I’d do it.

As it stands, I feel like I’ve wasted so much time doing these dungeons. I have 2.5 sets of armour and so many weapons, and they took time and effort. In truth I feel like I was better off spending my time farming Orr, rather than playing multiple dungeons, because gold is a ubiquitous currency that I could’ve just used for whatever.

Going back to the OP’s post, the auto-upgrade of level 80 Dungeon Exotics (both armor and weapons) being automatically buffed to Ascended status is something I would support. (I also support the same happening for T3 Cultural armor, but for some reason people don’t seem as keen on it.)

At the same time, there already exist several items in the game that are extremely expensive to produce, but are not quite Legendary status, like Mystic Weapons, the Triforge Pendant, Infinite Light, Foefire etc. These items should also be buffed to Ascended status, or even made into new Legendaries.

Heh, yeah.. I hope offtopic posts here get deleted..

I’m pretty sure items like Volcanus and Foefire should deserve ascended status though, since they cost about 300g+ to produce. Even t3 cultural… (But ANET wanted us to buy transmutation stones…?)

What the kitten?

People were complaining, that there was no real endgame, and nothing to go for after hitting 80 and exotics. No superb items to grind for. Now it’s a problem, that you dont get max gear automatically? I ask again.

Some people were, a minority.

Most of these people went back to WoW thankfully.

A lot of the playerbase realised that hold on a second, this was marketed as a PvP game, maybe, just maybe PvP is the end game?

mind=blown.

I actually feel that ascended gear have a place along side exotic gear. I’m not going to say everything on my mind here, since I already made a topic elsewhere.

Ascension gear isn’t the progression, Infusions are. Progression will be getting better and better Infusions.

You could easily have a quest chain or some other method of modifying existing gear to hold infusions and you get to keep the worth of all the current armors and the progression Infusion allows.
