Use for Ascended Armor?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Becka Williams.4978

Becka Williams.4978

I’m not sure ascended armor has any value beyond being a carrot on a stick for OCD players who can’t do math. From what I’ve seen of it, it has NO infusion slots. It’s just regular armor but pink instead of orange.

For those worried about it in WvW: the shoulders, boots, and gloves are 35/25/25 vs the 34/24/24 of exotic gear. The coat is 106/75/75 compared to the 101/72/72 exotic. If a guy with less than +20 more to a stat can beat you, it’s not a gear issue. It looks like a full set of ascended armor will provide less power increase than a single stack of might.

If it’s a chore to get it, I don’t see the point. If it’s agony resist you need for future fractals, I believe they want you to craft infusions with the new drop items.

You also forgot that they’re fugly as sin.

All the more reason to buy transmutation stones.

i just did this fractal today for the first time on 32 and it was super ez. Didn’t even get close to downing.

I beat it today on level 50 in 5 minutes. Super “ez”.

in 5 mins? her cannon phases added up seem longer than 5mins. r u trolling or something lol

1. you should have at least 5 for level 10 (+10 is better). Don’t listen to anyone that says you don’t need agony.

2. Just buy the versatile infusion. It’s fairly cheap.

3. ring and backpack, currently.

And you all spent so much time complaining about how easy a schedule Jade Quarry got.

they did, JQ should have received as much as a stomping from BG as SoR did. Egos can only take so much of a bruising.

Yet, somehow, BG still won.

I think they’ll fill in the holes in the skirt, and the shoes, and change the mantle, eyes, and shirt a bit more, but otherwise, it’ll look mostly the same, so as to not kitten off the people who bought it.

Can anyone sum up Thaumanova for me?

Actually, if I had to guess, I don’t think Scarlet did it, per se. I think the inquest did it on their own, and Scarlet just stole their research. But that might just be wishfull thinking.

The correct answer is that they know how we treat their trash mobs (ignore them) so they use CC to make us deal with them.

when can you do 10+ fractals?

in Fractured

Posted by: Becka Williams.4978

Becka Williams.4978

Don’t listen to anyone that tells you that you don’t need AR for 10-19. You need at least 5. Everyone will say “Oh you can just dodge” Have fun dodging every AR attack in the fractal run, so you don’t screw over your party by losing too much health.

New AR infusion slot

in Fractured

Posted by: Becka Williams.4978

Becka Williams.4978

Why does this exist? We’ve been told that our AR will not go down (ie: if you have 25 ar, you’ll still have it after the patch). I have 25 ar. I could easily get another 20 ar with versatile infusions, and infusing my other ring. So that’s 45 ar. That’s enough to get me up to level 39 with 1% agony damage. I only need another 15 to get to 49 with 1%. But, and this is the point: people who do level 48 fractals is a vanishingly small amount of players. So why introduce a new mechanic that the vast majority of players don’t care about? Is it because we’re getting a new kind of AR for the bosses? Or has AR been redone, and now you’ll need more?

New AR Infusions Maths

in Fractured

Posted by: Becka Williams.4978

Becka Williams.4978

Here’s the question: if the AR we have now is adequate for the fractals most people run, why would we care about the new fractal infusion? If I only run fractal level 28 or lower, and I have 25 ar, I don’t need anymore ar. So, in theory, the new infusions are worthless to me, and the vast majority of people. Because of this, I can only assume AR scales differently now, and you’ll need more to survive than you do now.

To be fair, if all you do is read the patch preview, it’s not really very clear what’s going to happen. I had to read some forum posts before I got it.

Becka Williams.4978

And what do you do after you’ve used up your two dodges? This is one of the problems with the game. They give us mechanics, and then come up with ways to spam things that take more than the 2 or 3 times we can use the mechanic. See the end of the Aetherblade dungeon, or the tower. Or stunbreaks, where you break out of immobilize, only to be knocked down. What’s the point of a stun breaker if every mob has a stun mechanic, and you can only counter it once?

Never, EVER follow a link from an email. If you’re really worried, type guildwars2.com into your browser, go the support page, and submit a ticket stating that you got the email, and blah blah blah.

Also, for future reference: it’s never legit. Companies know all about this kind of thing, and thus never send out emails that are like this, simply to avoid confusing their customers. If they never send out emails like this, then all emails like this are bogus.

Transmuting gem store armor skins?

Yes, you can. Get a white armor of the same type and transmute it. This makes it account bound. Give it your char, and then transmute it again an armor with the stats you want.

Guesting to other servers?

Either they made a change or the system is broken. When entering a dungon instances owned by someone else on a different server you use up one of your guest passes.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true.

Good for you. Some of us need a reason to fight, not just fighting for it’s own sake.

And that is one of the biggest issues with todays gamers.
Instead of playing for the sake of fun, they feel the need to get something as a reward for playing.

And if you don’t think you are contributing, then you are clearly doing something wrong in WvW.
In WvW every single person is able to contribute in a real and useful way.

Tell that to the WvWers in Underworld. We tried, we kitten tried.

Well with an attitude like that of course you will fail.
But on the other hand, what does constitute a fail?
Not getting top 1?

In my eyes it is much more of a fail to just give up without a fight than placing last in a league (my server will most likely place last in EU silver, since we have yet to be even close to win a single match-up).

Even if you lose the league you can still “win” by not giving up and actually put up a fight.
The main issue is that people only see rewards instead of playing for the sake of fun.

Okay, tell me how my server can come in first and win the gold league. I’ll wait.

You also seem to think that your definition of “fun” is the only one that counts. You consider good fights to be the only possible definition of fun. I want to fight for a reason. Just fighting for the sake of it is boring. If you like that, that’s fine. Just don’t claim you’re the only one who knows what’s fun.

I feel like I’m contributing. I just feel like my server was set up to fail season 1 from the start. That’s not really a good motivator.

“Think that your world is locked into its position and your contributions don’t matter?”

Yes, I do. And since I’m on SoS, they don’t matter. I’m fighting for 5th place. And since you’ve already told me that the rewards for coming in first in the bronze league are better than the rewards for coming in 6th in the gold league, what’s the point?

I dunno if this has been mentioned, I’m not reading all 13 pages, but I think that, instead of a server merge, there’s a WvW merge. Take the 9 lowest ranked WvW servers, and combine them, like this 1, 4, 9; 2, 5, 8; 3, 6, 7. And then those 3 groups fight each other. The grouping never changes, except perhaps to adjust for population. This would boost WvW populations, without affecting PvE, and would give them a fighting chance against other, higher level servers.
