Guild Wars 2

How long ‘til some jolly forumites hop along to say Anet’s forcing them into WvW to avoid fractals/save laurels?

So they will still cost laurels?

“Introducing Infusions and Ascended Gear in WvW

Now you can purchase Ascended rings and amulets and upgrade your WvW abilities with six new Infusions that give your character special WvW bonuses! Just speak to the new Laurel and Badge Merchants on each map."

I’m guessing it’s a discounted amount of laurels. Maybe 10-20 laurels + a stack or two of badges.

Great. Now we only need ascended siege equipment that does 10x damage. Bought for AC tokens just to spite us. Also, a new AC token only earned at the end each path is needed in addition to the regular tokens. And you need 100 of them for an ascended arrowcart.

Scrub Fractals?

WvW needed a ‘new’ piece of ascended gear, why did it take this long to regurgitate what we already have??

this is just saying the infusions are for wvw, but the actual aquisition of the gear remains the same, which is impossible through wvw only atm, right?

About time badges were useful for something. Oh wait, they wouldn’t know anything about WvW anyways, spending 95% of their time in fotm.

So do i get rings without laurels?

From what I read you will be able to purchase ascended items as well as infusions. The bit about the infusions in particular was that they would be geared/traited toward WvW-related stats, rather than the previously offered infusions.

The gate/limiter is that ascended items will be purchased with a combination of badges/laurels, so all those hording 20k worth of badges wont be able to fully gear their 8 alts in one day. Still gotta get enough laurels.

Don’t worry about laurels, they said you’ll be able to do dailies while only playing WvW!

OP, people are going to be unhappy no matter what Anet does. Should Anet appease to these minority or should they just loose those few players?

Anet really needs to shut down these forums , the whining and crying is kind of ruining the game every time it is updated.

Why fotm rings won’t cost laurels?

Why fotm rings won’t cost laurels?

Rings will still cost laurels (reduced cost + badges).

From what I can tell, Rings and Amulets will be available via a WvW vendor at some cost combination of Laurels (reduced from the full Laurel vendor cost) + Badges. The new WvW specific infusions will be the same (Laurels+Badges). Earrings will not be available from the WvW vendor (yet).

Point is that PvE heros got their rings without laurels. I kill enemies 7 months in www and won’t get rings without laurels.

Oh I see, you’re questioning why these will cost laurels at all. Well, the answer is they want these items to be gated by time, and the only way to do that without adding a new currency is to include an existing time gated currency to the cost.

Correction: They want these items to be gated by time…. unless you run fotm.
