Hey Grant and McKenna, that’s great news.

Just one quick question: If you bought the Exotic version of the WvW Triumphant Hero’s Armor and transmuted another piece of regular Ascended armor with the skins, are you able to convert it to legendary armor?

Because the cost of tickets to get the Exotic version is the same of the Ascended and a lot of people (myself included) already bought the Exotic version just to unlock the skins and transmuted other Ascended pieces to it.

You cannot upgrade the exotic into ascended or legendary. You will need to purchase the ascended gear.

What if you transmuted the ascended armor, will that work?

Yes! Transmuted will work.

What about transmuted reforged armor?

Earlier Post by Mckenna:

If you have reforged either the PvP or WvW ascended armor you will need to earn a new piece of PvP or WvW ascended armor.

Reforged ascended armor will not work.

I’m expecting the ticket cost for the WvW stuff to be pretty substantial so your ranks will make life easier if you’re targeting this gear.

If you have reforged either the PvP or WvW ascended armor you will need to earn a new piece of PvP or WvW ascended armor.

Reforged ascended armor will not work.

That’s a pretty huge flaw to have an already wildly stat selectable piece of precursor armor become worthless in regards to this legendary upgrade. Ironic too when it’s all about stat changes, and it makes me think this wasn’t thought through very well. There are a massive amount of players that have now essentially thrown entire sets of precursors away.

I hope you guys can change your stance and recompensate players for this. Really sad.

No its not. WvW ascended gear is time gated and to get a full set takes a minimum of 2 months. This feature also does not add any new Legendary skin/effect. Also the wvw gear requires 3 grandmasters marks each.

On the otherhand I saw people with legendary armor as soon as it came out.

I think its fair.

Nice, the pvp armor that took me NO EFFORT at all is going to be legendary now? Thanks anet! i don’t even know why i try in this game when you keep rewarding casual gameplay.
Ima just hook up in the bandwagon and start getting free legendary stuffs like PvP players will do, i have nothing against WvW armor being legendary since it at least requires some grind… but PvP is a joke.

Look at it this way. Getting raids asc armor is easy, getting legendary not so. So we dont know yet how hard it will be to get WvW / PvP legendary. i am sure the gifts required wont be easy.

2 things, it takes a lot more effort for coordinated raids when it was released, consisting of TONS of hours of people trying to coordinate and not a simple system that rewards you on NO matter the game play/guarantee AKA pip system" compared to the level of coordination and time put into raids through members having to kill bosses every week. Thats vastly harder than having to afk pip-farm for your tickets VASTLY. Its a huge slap to those people who worked really hard for their Legendary Armor and with WvW/PvP its almost GUARANTEED no matter your skill level. That invalidates the worth of Original PvE Legendary armor by a giant margin IMHO.

2.) People got legendary armor on day 1 because they had all that was required for HALF A year of doing raids. So, whatever you stated doesnt make sense because they had so much time to put in the effort/prepare for gifts/things needed.

This is ridiculous if this is true how easy its going to be for someone to afk farm for their equivalent “legendary stat swapping armor”

Are you kidding me? Its WAY easier now. They even increased the time until participation decays now because people whined about it. Now I can literally hit dolyaks and go afk away for another 5 minutes until the next yak comes my way. It invalidates the amount of skill/time required to do these boss fights in raids compared to having to hit a dolyak/afk for 5 minutes rinse and repeat.

Also, if you tied it to the last tier, then the pver will not have any good reasons to complain.

Raiding takes no more skill than WvW or PvP. But I was more talking about the overall effort and time required to actually get the ascended armor pieces. It was easier in PvP at first so they changed that.

And we don’t know whats required to get the 3 gifts yet anyway.

….will not have a unique skin… but instead will consist of an upgrade to WvW and PvP ascended… without changing the skin.

To upgrade… combine 3 new PvP or WvW gifts with 1 piece of ascended gear in the Mystic Forge.

Stop suggesting people spend thousands of gold to be able to spend thousand + gold to craft PvE Legendary armor. Maybe less than .3% of the community has that kind of money or gold to pay for that when the average xera buy it 250g+

PvP armor uses PvP gifts. WvW armor uses WvW gifts. So you would need to play PvP to upgrade the PvP armor.

After 1 year working for legendary armor, we have got it for just 2 months and now are you going to nerf its prestige? Why shoud we do the hard content for the next expansion if you are going to give us an easy way to get the best items?

Raid armor will have exclusive skins, but for many people the possibity to change stats/runes was even more important than skins. Now we have lost this exclusivity.

I could at least understand making legendary the wvw armor that requires rank 2k, but making legendary a wvw t2 armor which you can get in a few weeks? Although the same could be said about pvp, you don´t have to win, just play enough games and you will get all you need.

I have only one last question, how many games do you have to lose in spvp to get a full legendary armor? And now tell me if legendary armor has not lost a great part of its prestige.

I think WvW players SHOULD have WvW armor but that isn’t the point. Its WHAT is needed to do in order to get it is vastly different in difficulty that it completely invalidates PvE acquistion.

Dificult content should have better rewards, and raids are harder than losing in pvp or following a zerg in wvw.

I don´t say give legendary armor only to raiders, but after 1 year working on it, finally we get it and after only 2 months whatever person can get it?

I could understand giving legendary armor to people with rank 2k in mvm ( at least they have been playing for years) but this easy way ( yes, you will need some months, but it will be easy) it´s not fair.

If you want legendary armor for wvw and pvp then, in wvwv you should need rank 2k at least and for pvp, you should need to win ( yes, win, because you can lose always and still get the precursor and probably the legendary too).

I’m not sure why anyone who does majority of PvE complains about this. Do any of you realize how long this will take just to get the armor itself? This is not even counting how long it will take to get the upgrades.

It’s even worse for new WvW’ers coming to the scene, because if you’re facing a stronger server or simply a much larger group during your actual time; you’ll constantly be beat down to the minimum number of pips. You likely won’t even get a chance to earn participation if they corner you on your third of the map. Forget about leveling up as your options are literally “run in and die”. The crappy thing is, it won’t matter how much coordination you claim to have (comparing to coordinating to kill raid bosses), if that enemy group is bigger, you’re doomed, simple as that.

This is not easier by any stretch, not unless they open up EoTM to PiP’s. If you take a new person to this game and have them enter both game modes to acquire both sets of legendary armor, it will take them exponentially longer to achieve that armor in WvW, as there are too many factors at play.

Sounds really good, but i have a question. When we upgrade our wvw/pvp ascended gear, will they be ’ legendary ’ gear and have purple name like other legendaries in the game, or will they stay as ascended but have stat change ability ?

They will be legendary gear and have a purple name like other legendaries.

I hope that it will cost and take as much as it took those who had to work for their legendary armor …gifts…. provisioner tokens … 1500 of each map currency…. the raid legendary armor was not easy to get… and if all you need is skirmish tickets for a legendary set…this will kill your special raid wings because ppl can just wvw or pvp….

WvW armor now takes longer to get than raid armor.
