Guild Wars 2

Every single game mode has a ascended vendor at this time EXCEPT wvw!
We had a post from anet hinting at a ascended vendor in wvw and we all have been patiently waiting for it. Today the patch didn’t have it.
We all on gw2 are very very patiently waiting for an ascended vendor in wvw.
When is it coming?

Also still waiting on a wvw ascended or legendary backpack and some new tracks please.

ANet Q_Q please help us. WVw doesn’t have an ascended vendor for armor like pvp, raid, or other things have it. Please don’t forsake us.

That was the post that hinted at a wvw ascended vendor. Everyone in wvw is waiting please help! Q_Q https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Changes-to-Ascended-Vending

I’m in favor.
Seems kind of odd that the other gamemodes have means of accessing that armor but wvw itself does not.

Seems fair to me.

Does it Kovu…….does it seem ODD?

I mean as a premise. :I

I hope anet can add what they hinted they were going to add. It would only make sense to make ascended available from WVW. You can get ascended armor from pve crafting, pve raid, even pvp and pvp doesn’t use armor from that. Wvw is 1/3 of the game mode or more and players who just do wvw only deserve the chance to buy armor.

Go raid if you want ascended, you wvw players love pve and you know it.

prolly with LS7

wvw, Wvw, WVw, WVW, WVW!!!!!!!!!!!! I know purely wvw players and having 1/3 of the game mode unable to get ascended armor from their game mode is not fair or nice.

I mean look at pvp, YOU don’t even use the gear you can make/earn from pvp in pvp. That’s a slap in the face to wvwers everywhere.

Just have a wvw ascended vendor that we can use badges of honor and proof of heroics to buy the armor and weapons.

Super Easy fix and people will want to play the game and come back. Boom.

Not sure I see the point. The post makes it clear you have to have 500 craft skill in the relevant craft for every ascended piece you buy from the vendor. If you need to be a 500 Armorsmith to buy ascended armor for a Heavy class, why wouldn’t you just craft the blasted armor in the first place? Okay, it says there will be “a moderate discount in cost” over crafting it but I wasn’t aware that cost was the issue here.

Since there is no crafting in WvW – we had the stations removed to prove that – then clearly the proposed system in no way allows players “to acquire gear by playing the game mode they chose.” Crafting is a pure PvE activity and even if these vendors were added, WvW players would have to be max-level PvE crafters to use them.

i didnt even finished hot after unlocking DH just to have a block extra and cleanse on blocks…

^only reason i bough HOT.

Way to require ascende on WvW would be nice :| stil…

With the death of esports pvp finally being a real thing, maybe Anet will focus on WvW instead of just doing gimmick after gimmick to try and get players to do pvp.

I know, a long shot. I laughed at the idea of it happening too.

That’s good to hear on esports. I mean we all predicted it and knew it wouldn’t pan out. I’m hoping you are correct on the wvw situation, there’s still some decent guilds out there but the roaming scene is on life support with these balance issues.

WvW just offers so much more than pvp in my opinion along with unknown encounters around every corner.

Yes. Just YES! WvW needs this. Can only hope they give us this, i don’t think it’s gonna happen but fingers crossed.

PvP has an ascended vendor…. They don’t even need it….
Most of the WvW builds nowadays are the most expensive sets like Trailblazer, Minstrel, Commander…. But since they forgot about us, it feels like it’s a big no-no for WvW players to want those.

If they ever add this I wouldn’t be shocked to see it tied into the skirmish rewards that they’re supposedly working on.

This would be a fantastic idea. Maybe it was thrown in PvP to get more people into PvP to force some to like the game mode?

This will be the real issue- if they do ever bring it in, it will be behind some huge wall that requires shed loads of different types of play in order to achieve it. A bit like pve masteries being hidden inside those mini games, etc.

You would think, where WvW is large scale PvP they would have more focus on WvW than they do PvP.

+1 This is a must. Also we need our own wvw legendary back piece.

i dont got many hopes for WvW improvements, even if they add more rewards and ascended items, it means people will just ktrain harder and fasted and avoid fights.

WvW is already in bad state do how core WvW works plut on top a weird expansion callet HoT that made the unbalance reach the boillig state.

I dont know, Anet is being very obtuse of maintainning the stuff that is broken by default, since its low effort, playing this game or keep lookign to a blank wall might be the same thing in a few months.. IDK but might be. ~

It is not only add freebies to WvW, the gamemode is uselless even AB had more purposes… and the shrines didnt had walls.

Players been saying that for 4 long years now.

What anet has done, like many before them, is forget that the community determines if a game mode will have a competitive aspect. So desperate for the pvp sports dream, they offered ascended gear to spark players interest.

Anet has to accept that people love wvw and ONLY play wvw. Dangle all the little carrots in the pvp or pve mode, we just don’t care. We love wvw, we love roaming, we love raiding with our friends even with a broken game mode full of 50000000 conditions a second on us.

Ascended vendor you say? To reward you for all your dedication to wvw over the years and your wxp points, badges, rank? HA think again minion! lol

What we really need is that ghost thief guy that solo’d the raid super champ thing to use the broken builds out there in wvw, and solo a raid boss on each class. I say we fully fund this player and offer him gold to do so. Hell, start a go fund me page for this guy.

He might just be our saving grace. Anyone have that video by the way?

It makes more financial sense to some people in ANet I bet to keep things the way they are. Currently you have to craft ascended armor (if it’s not dropped now and then), if you want a set with your desired stats. That costs a LOT of gold and of course the end result in that is that there are many people who buy gems to convert to gold to buy the mats they need if they can’t farm them as fast as they want.

It’s the standard “I want this now” thing. So people spend money to get what they need. If we had ascended vendors where we could buy all of these things we currently have to make then unless ANet set the cost super high, they would actually stand to lose real money from people buying gems.

It might not be an “out there” thought in the company, or it might be… I don’t know.. but logically it makes sense.

So we can go back and forth forever, and knowing these forums it will continue to go back and forth.. but at the end of the day I bet we will never see an ascended vendor where we can buy the armor sets we want, the way we want.

Well, the quarterly report is out next month for gw2. The numbers won’t lie.

We like Skirmishes and are looking to support this with rewards in the future. In general, for WvW, our priorities are rewards and ascended equipment.

Could as well be next year. Who knows maybe they’ll bundle it with expansion and make it purchasable only with it

I absolutely don’t get this argument. If this is their policy, they might as well just turn this game into RNG pay to win and just rely on some whales to fund their game.

But clearly they don’t want to do this. And that’s left with us players who spends money every once a while because we are having fun with the game. So more content = more satisfaction = more money. You know they earn $0 from players who quit?

We will have the vendor soon, but with the price of PvP and fractal vendors.

Star the crafting.

I think if you people opened up the top of the box yall are in, and seen that there is a huge game outside of WvW, that you can attain all these things you want with little effort, that maybe just maybe, these, “Chicken little” and “Hyperbole” threads can cease to exist.

Some of us don’t want to pve and just want to do wvw, what’s so hard about that to understand? Just like there’s pve people who don’t want to pvp or wvw. Spvp people don’t have to pve to function 100% in their game mode.

I still can’t believe this is all they had to say about WvW.
this reddit post hits it on the nail.
