Now to can get ascender gear just by doing your daily in WvW
When you do dailies now, you will get a new token. Trade those tokens in for ascended gear! Sound stupidly easy than those who ran 250+ fractal dungeons….
Yup gonna be delicious seeing the qq about how they grinded FotM and now everybody can acquire it relatively easy (depending on cost).
When the whining started with the implementation of the ascended gear it’s also one of the things I posted in reply to the complaints that it was only acquirable from 1 place.
A.net had already stated it would be added to other parts of the game as well and more items would be added so I told them it would be stupid to grind for them now and I would be lmao when I would just acquire it through normal gameplay only a couple months later.
A common counter argument was that you needed it now already to stay competetive in WvW about which I laughed again and to date I didn’t get roflstomped by anybody, regardless if they had best ascended you can get atm and legendary or if I was on any of my 2 mains in full exotics or an alt in rares / green combo.
Hoping it will be some of the same whiners I already discussed with so I can quote myself for a change and laugh even harder.
“Redeem these laurels for rewards like the new Ascended gear and Infusions!”
“New Utility Infusions and Ascended Amulets
We’re adding a wide range of new gear that can be purchased with the new laurels.
With 5 new Utility Infusions and 30 Ascended Amulets to choose from, there’s something for every style of player.”

Well we QQed for so long, the least we deserve is this, if it happens.
Could be they are introducing ascended amulets and infusions only for those new tokens, so the FoTM grinders wouldn’t have grinded in vain.
I doubt that because they want to provide players with the same type of rewards regardless of playstyle and content like for example with the karma pool and RNG for basically all loot drops anywhere.
Maybe they keep a slightly better version exclusive to FotM or with a different more popular stat distribution simmilar to dungeon armor vs orr temple armor.
At least that would make sense to me, after all the progression is still there in the increased difficulty level and they could add some other unique rewards that aren’t basic needs like gear.
Ascended gear hasnt impressed me so far. Since day 1, the way I
looked at it was “so Im going to grind dungeons to buy gear thats
designed to help me grind the dungeons even more…” Didnt make
much sense.
Unless Im missing something, the Ascended gear is not wvw orientated,
and the rewards in WvW are meaningless after you get the invader gear,
so doesnt matter to me if people get dungeon gear for time spent in WvW.
Most WvW players I know dont set foot into the dungeons anyhow.

With this new patch ascended gear will include amulet, back, rings and accessories.
A player who has all ascended trinkets vs a player who’s full exotic is like a player who’s full exotic vs a player who’s full rare.
