Guild Wars 2

i wrote 4-hundred and fifty-five as a number but it called it “kitten” – fractal runs (no ascended weapon/armor chest)
rank 670 in wvw (again, none)

yet, everyone i know in both guilds i hang with has gotten 2-3 of them by now and a number of them are lower ranked or have run far fewer fractals.

It’s totally random, never got armor, but hey it’ll come
Lol account bugged? No.

I have never seen an Ascended weapon/armor drop, i have seen one guildie get 3 in a week, some people are lucky while RNG ignore others..

I’m convinced that the rng is salted by something unique to each account.

I’m generally not a conspiracist, but I almost have to be. I didn’t get as far as rank 600, but 1-250 has given me no rewards, where-as 250-275 has given me 2 ascended chests… it’s strange.

You notice it more if you have an alt account because it seems like one account is more lucky than another even though the other has a higher magic find %.

Rank 570 ish, 2 rings and one armor chest. I got nothing for ages, and then 2 drops in the last few weeks. RNG is random.

Been playing since beta and I haven’t gotten much until this past month apart from a ring. Within the past month I got an ascended weapon and ascended armour chest. Just be patient…it’ll happen

I haven’t done fractals since they added ascended armor drops.

Rank 193 here, nothing from 1-150. Four items from 150-180 – two rings and two armor chests, all within a two week period during Season 2.

I think no one but the coders know. I got my first ascended in WvW as a drop only atn rank 300.

I got all my asc drops (4) within one weekend at around rank 700ish.

Maybe you need to kick that pesky rng bit, one time I was getting a lot of expesinve exotic drops in wvw (made like 80g in 2 days just from selling those) so I joked about a precursor incoming. Got one few days later

Rank 1280 in wvw, yesterday I got my first ascended ring from a rank up chest: toughness/precision/healing/condi

I can’t even salvage it.

I have gotten one ascended weapon chest (Dire stats, yick) from a drop in WvW. One ascended ring from fractals. One ascended (not sunless) armor box (Beigarth’s, not bad) from Triple Trouble. Rank 378, and 500+ fractal runs.

edit: RNG can be a real pain. I went 4 straight days salvaging rares with a Mystic kit, at least 25-30 rares, with not a single ecto from any of them. And then all of a sudden I was getting 2 or 3.

It’s not your fault, you’re not bugged, you’re just having a bad run of RNG luck.

my run of bad luck has been ongoing since gw1. I never got a good item dropped in that game, and I have only gotten 1 ascended ring drop in 1220 wvw levels and daily playing.
