i’m glad for this change even if it’s half a year late

huh good job anet never thought they would get around to doing this.

Ahhh finally, thanks mate! You really made my day, and it just started for 17 minutes!
Also RyanD, smooth dude, smooth.

He said to ask the question again in a couple of weeks. Maybe guy is busy or something and things will not actually change.

Will this be the next thing us engineers will cling onto for months to come? Or will ArenaNet actually deliver?
Perhaps in a few weeks time we’ll find out.

Most likely.

BUT both Grouch and Colin play engineers and they’re both gonna be on the Ready up stream tomorrow…….

Is it wrong if I’m slightly annoyed that they feel the need to tease this instead of just saying something?

I pretty much feel the same way about it. ‘We could just tell you, but we won’t! Instead, have some cryptic hints. This way, we don’t have to worry about actually delivering on promises to make something happen!’

I have no access to reddit due school block Can anyone tell me what this is about? :s tyvm

This was the OP on reddit (from a player on Fort Aspenwood):

“I’ve JUST noticed that the weapon-damage does not carry over to Bomb, Grenade, Tool, Flamethrower, or Elixir Kits for Engineers. Rather kits have a forced “Exotic” weapon-stats for every kit.

While I get this makes sense to keep the damage in-check (arguably), what’s the point of me working toward any ascended/legendary weapon as an main Engineer player? Just for a cute looks and effects? To make it and then proceed to make other classes and send made weapons to the ones that actually benefit from it? To benefit from the very miniscule stat boost?

I thought I could get at least a +69 damage boost to my kit builds…but instead I’m just going to get potential +9 damage (from the stats). :C"

Answer from a guy with Anet-tag:

“Ask this question again in a couple weeks.”

Great news so far, had no more hope to see something like that

So they meant with “bugfix” for the april 15th patch, that the engi will get damage from ascended gear? I hope something like that is also going to happen to the mesmers phantasms

GREAT NEWS!

Xyonon.3987:

. . . for the april 15th patch . . .

There was no word about feature patch or april 15th, only “in a couple weeks”

Yea but it is “in a couple weeks” or maybe just one patch after it, doesn’t really matter. It’s just not far away and that’s great!

Well at least, holding off making a legendary, might have been the right choice after all. I couldnt put myself to making engi legendary, cause you see it so few, and it doesnt transfer to kits. Been thinking of maining other profession, but most aren’t as fun. So my legendary quest stayed low profile. Might have to dig it up again.

Only thing I want even more is decent pistol legendaries (Quip i more see as an april fools legendary with incredibly anoying sound, and ugly look, not worth it). I use pistols so often and would instantly go for it.

Spam nades around you, so they land on the thief (remember this that is cloacked will always try to hit from behind, if you hit that hitbox, with nade, they will take huge damage). also Make use of your blinds. Pistol 3 is a good one.

I think it is safe to say that ANET didn’t need to respond so a response is generally an indication of some change.

The question is will this apply for ascended too?

Not to be a complete cynic, but man… that is so vague.
