posted this in the new living world forum, thought some of you might like to give your opinions on this topic again.

i hope we get it. for a second i thought we were getting it. you brought my hopes up and then crushed them.

Very good, finally…. After 5 monthss…

I don’t see anything verifying that kits get an upgrade, where is it?

There is no confirmation of it happening. The thread title just reads like there is confirmation.

sorry it was not meant to be perceived that way sorry for the disappointment

The problem is that ANET has to figure out how to buff kits in PvE (where they are lacking) and nerf them in PvP (where anyone with 30 minutes of practice can dominate on a bunker spec).

Someone made a post about this in the beta forums way back in the day when it was know kits would be made up of the highest lvl gear. Anet knew this would be a problem from day one and still have done nothing about it. So they need to work something out like removing kits as skill and replace them with equipable kits.

Previous patch notes said kits would have weapon power comparable to the highest tier available at the player’s level. When ascended weapons came out kits and conjured weapons got ascended damage, and then they were hotfixed back to exotic and called a “bug”.

I simply have but a couple of questions for the developers on this issue.

1) Was the hotfix to bring kits back to exotic levels the result of ascended weapons being less prevalent (not the norm yet)?

2) Will you be returning kits to ascended levels of stats when there is more penetration of ascended weapons in the player base?

3) Are we close? When would you project that to be?
