Perhaps I am among the minority, but as a player who spent my first 400 hours in game saving for the Triforge amulet, I am worried all my hard work will be for nothing once these new ascended amulets are introduced. Does anyone feel the same?
You’re not alone. I’ve been waiting (probably in vain) for ANet to announce a way that Exotics can be upgraded to Ascended tier items. The introduction of Ascended items basically kills the Crafting disciplines because there is no way that crafters can make items that are as powerful as Ascended items. Weapons and Armor still have a place in that their skins are still visible and players might buy items just to transmute their appearance, but Jewelers are completely out of luck. Why would you even bother levelling Jeweler to 400 (outside of crafting Legendary Gifts) and amassing crafting materials when you can just save up your Laurels and buy an Ascended ring or amulet instead?
I would like to add on to this. I’ve been rocking the Triforge Amulet and I do feel it deserves a special place in the whole big hooha about Ascended amulets. It does require a huge amount of money and craft to achieve this, and it’s a shame to see it leave BiS because of new content.
I think that mystic forge recipes to upgrade the Triforge and other hard to get Exotics would be wonderful. Certainly if they added similar “all stats” ascended amulets that could be purchased with laurels, no one would ever go for the Triforge any more.

Just tested it out, it seems like at least some of the wall jumps that were previously possible still are. However, I am having a lot of problems completing jumping puzzles that were previously very easy. My character seems to want to fall off edges if I wait too long to jump, whereas before the patch I had no such problems.
