Ascended Gear now 10% Stronger than Exotics

Dulfy’s source merely claims to have access to early patch notes. Nobody knows whether these notes are officially “more elaborate” than the changes which have been posted here on the forums. The posts on the upcoming changes on these forums do not contain anything about that difference between exotic and ascended gear.

I’m having a hard time understanding the uproar about the gap between exotic and ascended armor. I’m unable to find official information here on the forums. The guys from dragonseason.com are merely claiming: “ArenaNet sent us the entire Patch Notes for next week’s build: […]”. And they added that piece of information in question (I refuse to repeat it here.) somewhere near the end of that page.

If this claim is true, I speculate that feces is very likely to hit the fan … Meanwhile, I am rooting for everyone with the enthusiasm to put their fan on high already. Also, silk traders, rejoice!

skill point scrolls

For those thinking you that skill point scrolls will be a thing of the past…the conversion applies to EXCESS skill points, and those you acquire AFTER level 80. Which means as long as you have not reached lvl 80 they should still work as intended, same with Tomes of Knowledge. Remember, most of this applies to max level characters, not characters that are going through the leveling process.

I think that you might be right. However, at this point, I want to ask ArenaNet for clarification. Sometimes I like this game of teasing and speculating but somehow I can’t deny now that I’ve had enough of being thrown into the middle ground with various species of frogs and excess scrolls or points. For that reason, I want to show my support for Iason Evan’s questions here, too:

I definitely want to know what will happen with skill point scrolls so I can make an informed decision as to what I want to do with these items that I have specifically spent dozens of hours gathering.

It would be really nice to get some hard clarification on this:

  • What exactly are the materials?
  • Will the skill point scrolls turn into a single item for the Mystic Forge or is there a choice?
  • Is it an automatic transformation upon login after the update?

So, mods, would you mind helping us out a little bit more, please?

Frost spirit might have taken the nerfbat.

I seriously fail to see what the problem with 7% damage buffing spirit was.

I was really excited about the upcoming ranger changes. And this piece of news almost completely ruined that excitement for me. I share Chokolata’s confusion and would appreciate some explanation for this change, please.

Is anyone happy anymore?

I am happy with what I have experienced so far. They even take minor issues such as small localisation fixes seriously. I have experienced that myself with the meta-event text box of the Shatterer, for example.

If you (not anybody in particular) are unhappy about something, and can think of something to improve that, and if it is something that is visible in-game, use the bug report window, put yourself aside for a moment, think of how you can help someone doing their job in an objective way, and throw in a sincere “please”. It works. If it is a general concept that bothers you, we are all free to use the forums, of course. There are some great ideas in here, but sadly some of them are conveyed as if you were spitting in a murderer’s face.

Sometimes you get the feeling that these fantastic ideas are flat-out ignored. But as it says in the bug report window, they cannot answer posts individually. I still think they are trying to listen, to communicate (as much as they are allowed to), and to improve stuff. Maybe they failed to communicate a few times, maybe a few times too many for some, maybe they have already lost some of us on the way, but the forums are not populated by saints only, either.

I hope they listen and keep in mind some of the things that have been addressed in this thread.
