You cannot upgrade the exotic into ascended or legendary. You will need to purchase the ascended gear.
So those of us who bought the exotics instead of the ascended essentially wasted our tickets?
You need the exotics to unlock the ascended versions. You could have unlocked them through the reward tracks as well.

“As part of rewards for raids, we’re introducing legendary armor.”
Does it say they’re going to perpetually be raid exclusive?

devalue my raid achievement…
LMAO – Legendary Armorer isn’t a freaking “raid achievement”. It’s an Explorer achievement. That fact would have be obvious to everyone if you hadn’t carefully cropped your image to avoid showing the left side of the achievement panel. Raids just happened to be the first way to acquire legendary armor. You’re not special in any way and doing raids won’t change that.

Big water, blast, blast, blast.
so… what about armor we’ve stat changed? I know back in one of the pvp leagues i bought almost an entire set of ascended gear. Since then I’ve stat changed it multiple times, making it PvE named ascended gear.
Am i just SoL? gotta get a whole new set for this?

Sounds really good, but i have a question. When we upgrade our wvw/pvp ascended gear, will they be ’ legendary ’ gear and have purple name like other legendaries in the game, or will they stay as ascended but have stat change ability ?
They will be legendary gear and have a purple name like other legendaries.
When the August 8th update is released, WvW and PvP players who own Heart of Thorns will be able to upgrade their WvW and PvP ascended armor to have legendary attributes! This new type of armor will not have a unique skin, such as the one that is part of the raids legendary armor, but instead will consist of an upgrade to WvW and PvP ascended armor that gives those armor pieces legendary stat-swapping capabilities without changing the skin.
The following PvP and WvW ascended armor can be upgraded to allow stat swapping:
• Triumphant Hero’s Ascended Armor
• Mistforged Triumphant Hero’s Ascended Armor
• Ardent Glorious Ascended Armor
• Glorious Hero Ascended Armor
To upgrade a piece of WvW or PvP ascended armor, combine 3 new PvP or WvW gifts with 1 piece of ascended gear in the Mystic Forge. You can purchase ingredients for the gifts from either Commander War Razor in WvW or the Ascended Armor League Vendor in PvP.
“We’ve made several map adjustments to the Eternal Battlegrounds, Desert, and Alpine Borderlands maps to better accommodate gliding. "
Could you elaborate on this, please? Do you mean updrafts? More higher grounds to glide off from or something else? Thanks!

all those vets that dont want gliding in wvw, cheer up!
Because you can still play wvw without gliding.

Boo freaking hoo for those crying about this.
Open up your minds. This is great news, things get stale if nothing changes and WvW has barely changed in 5 years. You’re all crying the whole time about about WvW not getting enough attention or changes, and then you cry just because a great PvE feature is added to the game mode?
You all sound like old farts with that fear of change. This sounds great and has incredible potential to add a feature that will greatly improve and refresh the game mode.
Stop freaking out people. They said if they find that it just doesn’t work out they will disable it. Give it a chance first before judging it.
Dear anet can you please stop kittening up wvw. People like it just the way it is right now. When you guys look back at the release of the desert bl map. Was that a great succes? No. But u guys kittened up wvw then and this will be the same. Stop putting pve crap into wvw. We the hardcore wvw players dont play pve. So please stop messing up our content. I know for a fact that lost of players will be leaving the game because of these things. They only game back when its back to normaal.
Gliding for wvw is actually going to be super fun, I don’t know how gliding offends you so much, and if someone is running away from you in your territory, they wont exactly be able to glide off, so youll probably have a better chance at catching them than before. Stop crying about something that hasnt even happened yet. xoxo
Gliding offends because certain people didn’t bother to read the whole post before they started typing.

Finally, I can’t believe that WvW has had this bug for two years. Now, if we can only get the Fractal team to fix it so gliding works there, too.
More seriously: awesome news, thanks for this.

Well no one has asked about it yet, but I’m going to guess that the new War Gliding Mastery is going to also include unlocks for some sort of skills you can use while gliding like in Bloodstone Fen. So it won’t only be for “running away” or “trolling”.

Guys calm down haha. Actually think about how the gliding works.
1: From the looks of it you can’t glide in enemy owned territory. So no the enemy pushing garri cant just glide away. The defenders however could try and use it to there advantage to regroup.
This will affect roaming as well. I doubt youl see to much gliding away. Im sure there will be SOME. But not nearly that much.
2: Gliding isn’t flight. And while they are gliding they CAN NOT FIGHT BACK. SO whack them odds are if there just on a small hill they will still be in melee range for a bit. Also if you have a ranged weapon they are a free kill.
3. THIS IS A kittenING TEST PEOPLE. Cool yourselves down. If it really IS horrible they can turn it off later. If its NOT horrible its an actual dynamic change to how the game mode works.
Thanks to how there setting it up this also means that f2p players and PoF players can enjoy it. As it will be tied ot wvw ranks and NOT mastery. So its available to everyone.
Read before you flip your kitten.

I honestly think this is an amazing idea, ccing somebody out of the air is super easy, so if someone manages to fly away just pick your target or fly after them lmao. People need to stop crying, I feel like this is going to be super fun.
So say Red team is airborn gliding in to safe fire keep, as blue team flips it. So does that mean any Red still in air will fall to possible death ?
An rangers will be welcomed back into zergs lol
You have a few seconds before you will be kicked from your glider.
ITT: WvW should be a flat, featureless plane where 2 groups face off and ritually proceed to murder each other. This will be repeated until one group gets bored and leaves.
Can we get a champ train in WvW too? Really missing out how WvW is missing more PvE elements.
We already have a champ train… they are called “tower lords” <winky winky>
Okay so let me get this straight… Out of anything you could have been working on for WvW, new map, separate balancing for our game mode, more rewards, balancing changes for WvW. You go and do the thing most veteran players DO NOT WANT and apply gliding. Do you’re players even bother going to WvW or join TS or Discord? I don’t think you guys do and it shows. You haven’t clearly been listening to us and I am greatly appalled by this change.
Speak for yourself… I am a vet who wants it, ankitten ot appalled.
So Fire keep is pretty much screwed for whoever gets it?
I mean, unless you have people sitting on ballistas 24/7 you can glide directly into inner.
You can only glide in territories you own. So if you don’t own Fire Keep you can’t glide into it.

You should read the post again.
Hopefully they disabled the bloodstone fen gliding skills lol.
Still means smc will be brutal to defend… Need to watch out for third-floor smc drop veil bombs now as well.
Still very stupid, however. Corner someone into top floor garri while you siege it and they can just jump off a cliff to ooc glide and re-enter through various gaps. So much mesmer abuse in keeps… The list keeps on going.
The combat and balance alone is already laughably bad. The matchmaking process is poor. Now we have broken fight and territory mechanics to boot.

What in the hell?
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU ARE IN COMBAT? Disable in combat gliding. Otherwise it means anyone can run away from a fight by just gliding away and literally makes HoT Pay-to-win. Seriously. It NEEDS to be disabled to deploy gliding while in combat. Seriously. This is why gliding in WvW has always been the stupidest idea.
I don’t think you have the strongest grasp of how gliding works. If they try and run away by gliding off a cliff, just toss out a little cc and watch them fall to death, lmfao.
For that you require to have ranged CC. So now you have to make sure you have ranged CC on you at all times which means you have to change your build AROUND gliding? That’s kitten.

There were a lot of people who asked for this, just like there were alot of people who asked for a larger map and we got DBL. Players dont always know what they’d enjoy. Simple as that. We should probably test it before all the hate mail.

Horrible Idea. Rip all your veterans which are your player base. Working on useless stuff that nobody asked for, thanks anet.
Veteran checking in here…. you don’t speak for me! I love this idea!

This is such a silly statement. If your enemies decide to run away by gliding, YOU JUST GLIDE AFTER THEM !
At some point they have to land since it’s not true flight.
I’m excited to see how this is going to work, but I love that we’re minutes after the announcement and no one has seen it in action, yet we’re already firmly entrenched in our positions on the subject lol . . .
