Guild Wars 2

I will get them when I get them.
They don’t make enough difference for them to be required, so I won’t rush getting them.

It is not a new tier of gear.
It is the exact same tier that we have in game a year ago. There might be new slots, but the tier itself is not new.
As for the difference it will not be more than a few %, far from enough to matter in real fights.

I am assuming that the current plans are for no other tiers, just expanding on Legendary Tier, but not adding anything new.

i don’t find the encounter that hard, outside of one shot charge from mai at high lv and the fact that you can’t dodge over circles
however instabilities can make it really depressing

If that is your login, I desperately want to know what your toon’s names are…

No, that will only take you to 475.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Go figure a group full of mostly warriors… But don’t worry the devs insist that non-heavies bring a lot to the table too… as long as you don’t mind losing.

Go figure someone who thinks 200 armor makes any difference.

The group was pretty well set up, but having 0 reflects was a pain.

I’d be happy enough if I could at least recover the upgrades I put on them.

Thrashing a +5 in ring with a +5 because I finally made a +10? Having to wait until I get +30 because if I put a +10 in it’s lost forever?

That’s a major flaw in the new agony upgrade design.
You find other upgrades “as is”, if you lose one you can replace it.
But once in the item, the agony upgrades are lost, and you need agony upgrades to make agony upgrades.

So at the very least, ascended items should be salvageable to recover those upgrades.

People who vendored their rings would be mad. I wouldn’t though, I saved mine… Lol

They need to do something about the rings. They keep adding more and more into the economy with no way to remove them. That’s just bad design.

There are countless ways to deal with this issue and any solution is better than nothing.

I agree with this, except if they outright refused to do anything with them, I would be okay if they added accessories and amulets as rewards WITH the rings. Sure, eventually you have more than you need and nothing to do with them, but at least then you’re not stuck with 1000 rings when all you need is an earring.

I really like your various forge ideas, and the salvage. I would love to see a way to convert my rings into nice agony infusions or dragonite ore. I think we will see it in 6 months when they decide to increase the level cap again (and hopefully not put us all back to 30 again… ^^;;;;).

Ps 6 months was just a random amount of time, I’m not pretending to know when anet is doing it.

I think any retroactive solution would anger a lot of people who have sold the rings at an earlier point, like when they made ballot tickets sellable and representative buttons not.

I currently have a little over 2 bank tabs full of ascended rings. This is one of the only relatively consistent “rewards” of doing fractals ( not going to address the lack of rewards in general ). This being said…you can not sell them, you can not salvage them, you can not forge them, hell, you cant even give them away. The only reason I havn’t posted about this earlier is because if for some reason ANET decided to make them salvagable im fairly certain they would turn into bloodstone dust, dragonite ore, or imperial fragments. which honestly most people are drowning in anyways. the lack of ability to forge them is annoying as well. my possibly short sighted solution

salvage-
non ascended rings

receive a decent number of ascended materials, +1 infusions, chance at vial of mist essence, glob of mist essence, or shard.

ascended rings

receive a large number of ascended materials, +1 or higher infusions, vial, glob, or shard, and receive a +5 infusion ( for the infusion already applied to the ring )

forge

( just ideas, do share if you have others )
ascended ring, t5 mats, 1 t6, philosopher stones ( for t6 conversion. i know there is already a conversion but i was thinking that this could yield a higher number of t6 )

4 rings non infused – lots of + infusions

2 of the same ring + ecto’s + crystalline dust + philosopher stones = infused ring

infused rings of the same kind will be forged together to pull out one of the +5 infusions.

infused rings could be put in also for a larger number of t6 conversion. similar to the clover x1 vs x10 recipe

selling

at this point…please just open ascended rings up on the tp and let the players decide what they are worth.

or let me merchant them for 1g each for non infused. or have them specifically priced as some rings are horrible anyways…sorry relaynas band.

gifting

i know we will never be able to send these rings to our lower level friends to help them out. but hey…it would be really nice to be able to help people.

Justin ODell.9517:

Updated Reward System
With gear unification we will also introduce a system that allows players to set goals for rewards in PvP and work towards them. We are not ready to discuss this system in detail yet, as it is still being developed, but more information will come as we get closer to being able to release this system.

Once this new system is in place, glory will be retired as a currency, and gold will be the standard currency across the game. All existing glory vendors will be removed at this time. We will give advance warning when this is coming so you can spend all of your existing glory before that happens.

That’s the part you should keep in mind.

hmmmm okies! thanks justin!
i will look forward to them!

by the way, could we trade in our PvP boosters for other boosters of similar value? O_O

Maybe we are lucky and they implement any new bug that we can exploit to reach r80! There is still hope If it is about bugs, there is nothing anet can’t do

Everyone is getting Healing Signet.

Signet of Attunement + Written in Stone would be really nice.

Signet of Attunement/Harmony (Ele)

Passive: Gain health whenever you change attunement.

Active: Recharge all your attunement skills. Heal yourself for each attunement on cooldown.

This could be fascinating if used correctly and help newer players learn the class… just have to be careful with the heal values so it isn’t over the top.

The only part that upsets me is the retiring of rank based pvp finishers. So basically all the skyhammer farmers get to keep rank finishers while people like me who only get rank from tPvP will miss out? seems sort of unfair.

Large bosses, such as Tequatl and the other dragons are objects. Game mechanics dictate you can’t crit objects.

This fractal really separates the bads from the skilled people….Seems like every time I run this fractal at least half the team goes down at the cannon stage. I don’t understand how this stage is so hard? You avoid the red circles that show up on the ground. Don’t stop and try to rez people as you will most likely go down too.

Seems like after every cannon stage I end up having to pick people up and it shouldn’t be this hard to run around.

I have had to leave countless groups because of this stage because it ends up taking hours and the reward is not worth it.

+1’ed for truth.

They need to play through this fractal and time it. Then compare it to the other tier 3’s. It’s ridiculous.

I would probably keep the final boss though. That is an interesting fight.

Jump over the waves.

You can jump over the waves just like you could during the LS release of the molten facility.

They did fix the ability to stack under the boss like you could in the LS part. We tried and with one pounce we all insta-downed.

Agreed.

We do not like Scarlet Briar!

I agree with the OP’s Statements

Heta.8629:

I like scarlet and know others do too

Each to their own, but be warned you are in a severe minority.
