I can’t see where they said they’ll have better stats.
They said they’ll add more update related items, that’s it.
Do the halloween exotics have better stats? Nope.

At launch we will only have ring and back items, they’re going to add the rest of the slots as they go.are you serious? did you not even read what Ascended items are? go read the release adn then come back. turn the lights on, and maybe have your browser turned to font 40. it’s in plain as day english, ascended stats are better than Exotic. no if, ands, or buts. They’ve even stated that it’s a new tier, and will make existing content easier for you! (meaning it’ll be a big increase on your character’s performance). Not to mention, it has alot of +magic find, which is the highest rated stat.
It’s the start of the never ending god kitten treadmill. they want to be like WoW for whatever reason despite having success with their original design.
And legendary stats are better then ascended which is also better then exotics? What is your point? Your already grinding for legendary… they are just adding a inbetween gear…. it won’t be the best in the game. Therefore the whole argument about a gear treadmill is totally debunked.
This nothing but this i dont see why people cant understand this
Currently there is no “progression” from exotic to legendary. They have the same stats. The only “reward” is aesthetic.
Now with Ascended gear, you have to grind for them, as their “rewards” are not only aesthetic but also have stat increase.
They are creating a stat gap between exotic and legendary with ascend being in the middle…… at least thats how it reads in the announcement made by Chris.
They are not. They’re adding a gap in between exotic and the new tier, Ascended. There is no gap to legendary (which will be EQUAL to Ascended with the patch), there never was. It was a problem they invented.
to clear stuff up folks (cuz the devs PR is purposely muddy), legendary = same stats as exotic. After patch, legendary = same stats as Ascended.
so dose this mean if we get our legendery we NEVER have to worry about a “gear grind” again as it will always be the equivalent to the strongst wepon?
For the patch this week, yes. Legendary will be equivalent to Ascended. For the future, who knows. (judging from other MMOs “item progression”, dont count on it.)
There was never any stat gap between legendary and exotics anyway, so the entire Ascended thing with better stats is why people are pissed. We all bought the game to get away from stuff like that since that is what they marketed GW2 as.

Exotic, and all the tokens, karma, gold, crafting is now worthless, 3 months after launch.

Again, legendary stats are the same as exotic. do you ‘defenders’ of this change, who are so ‘bored’ with GW2, actually play the game?

It’s 2 rings and a back piece.
And the rings are unique so you can’t wear 2 of the same type of ascended rings.
Talk about a knee jerk reaction over basically nothing that is going to affect the game other than dungeon runs.
Read the entire post. It’s not just rings and a back piece.
Rings and a back piece are all that’s coming out with Lost Shores.
Here is the actual quote:
" In November, we’re only adding the first level of Infusions and Ascended Rings and Back slots, so that leaves us a lot of room to build upon these levels of Item progression in future content."
You guys are acting like its the end of the world when things like chest pieces probably won’t be available for a year.
3 months since release and they’re already adding ‘high level gear’. It’s gonna be much sooner. Then they’ll have Ascended gear II, They’re pandering to the elite WoW crowd (ie. raiders, 1000+ hours etc). As they release “tons of new content”, they’re gonna add Ascended stuff and this is “just the start”. Then when the Ascended slots are filled, Ascended II comes in.
Anet, been there, done that. I’m not a mule, if carrot on a stick becomes your game, I’m out.
What the bloody hell?? The main reason i got this game was because of the horizontal progression that was lauded by the devs. I’m sick to death of the gear grinds. If i wanted that, I would’ve continued with WoW or whatever million and 1 MMOs out there with the SAME thing.
the game is out 3 months, and already exotic gear is obsolete?!? so what happens to one of the defining features of this game? WvWvW? they’re sol? what if i want to get into dungeons after ascended is released then? it’ll be MUST HAVE FULL ASCENDED spam for lfg chat. talk about a massive backwards step, thought GW2 was supposed to be evolutionary.
what next, the trinity re-introduced because that is what WoW players want? so GW2 will ‘evolve’ to be a WoW clone?
what a waste of a buy. how about a kitten road map on what the hell you guys are heading with your game so you don’t waste my bloody time?

How about fixing WvWvW maps?
The northeast portion of the keep wall on these keeps can be exploiting by a trebuchet placed at garrison. The exploit being that the wall can be one shotted regardless of whether it’s upgraded or not(1 shotting reinforced walls gg). 2 servers Crystal desert has faced has been exploiting this to take upgraded keeps: Blackgate, and Maguuma.
This needs fixed asap, and players/guild upgrading keeps should be refunded for this game-breaking bug.
