i think they are more than affordable even when converting gold, but yes, we need some more “reward skins”. Letting us get gem store armor pieces in other less immersion breaking ways would be cool too.
I noticed an unusual activity: an IP from texas seem to be connected to my account. I got no mail to authorize this, and it still happens after changing my password. So i looked up online to look for the source of this IP (64.25.32.69) and to my surprise… it belongs to NC Interactive. So… what’s going on?
Add some rifles or granades(like in the Claw of Jormag fight) that have some of the turret skills. That way, even with clueless people using turrets, every server (with someone who knows the fight) can still have a chance.
Once again, in soloQ, 1 leaver and 2 afk. If we can’t report them, can we at least have an option to not waste 10 minutes in a match that wouldn’t be fun anyway?
Try read again what i wrote. Also, you are ovbiously talking about WvW: since when has it been balanced around duels?
I’d like anyway to see this math, for informative purposes.
Oh sorry i said something against you. Both in dungeon and WvW it will make a difference (especially when comes full asc armor), just a 10% increase in damage.
I think the thread was called Ascended Gear to Kill Builds and Alts… either way read around why people are complaining… and if anyone is really supporting their idea.
and let me restate: the time gating is just unnecessary.
what’s the point of time gating?
duels in wvw, 1v1 i agree, rarely happens… but when you run away with a sliver of health… now that sliver will drained by someone running higher gear then you.
No, the question is:
Why should things be time gated?
I might have not been clear, this is a foreign language for me, but: i’m not defending the fact that this tier is time gated (by laurels or crafting), it is an obvious compromise to make those who like progression happy while not completely destroying the philosophy of the game and making it possible for casuals to obtain these items. What i’m against is the sense of hurry and despair that this announcement (actually made in late October?) seems to have created. It’s true, speed runners will be happy to have a 10% boost to their damage. But what content will effectively need you to have this equipment asap? Considering that there will also be more ways to obtain this kind of equip, why rushing for these items? Hope i made my point clearer.
10% extra damage that you would do (other posts, threads, there was some math) in ascended armor….
if you ever ran away happy with a sliver of health out of battle… well now you might not be so lucky
10% may not be a big deal to you…. but to anyone that wants to do their best (call them try hards, hardcore, nerds) it does.
the time gating, is just unnecessary bullkitten, i would like to hear reasoning for it.

It’s just another goal. 55 more damage and 9 more primary stat points will not make the difference in a dungeon or in WvW .
If you don’t feel like crafting these weapons right now, don’t do it: wait for a drop or for new ways to get them (laurels / guild commendations?).
I’m not saying you shouldn’t have one, simply it’s not as urgent or necessary as some people seem to think. It’s not a gear grind (how could it be? You pretty much are full exotic few hours after hitting level 80, and ascended items are only time gated) and you shouldn’t fear a power creep as long as it’s the last tier between exotics and legendaries.
I can already see some of you saying “wait for ascended armors, before saying it doesn’t make the difference”, well: it won’t anyway.
Even though the stat increase on a full ascended set will start to be noticeable, it still won’t be required, for sure not asap. Yeah, high level fractals will at some point need the best agony resistance possible… but still: aren’t those some sort of hardcore goal? Normal players will still be able to obtain everything they need in lower levels.
Ofc, time could prove me wrong but still atm the sensationalism is starting to already go rampant.
I will NEVER pay a fee just to log in a game again. GW2 has proven that you don’t need sub fees to maintain and grow a MMO, heck they are putting out more content than sub based games.
It has actually kind of proven you DO need subscription fees to deliver large, meaty content updates on a regular schedule. Compare what WoW has released over the past year to what GW2 has and there’s simply no comparison — WoW wins hands down.
This continuos whining is sickening. Everyone is a pro player and everyone is a better programmer. Everyone knows what’s best and everyone knows how long it takes to get something implemented. Gosh, you are not paying to play, go somewhere else for some months if you can’t have fun right now.
And Kimhyuna, just because the game does not cater for you, it MUST not cater for everyone else, right?
Gosh, I don’t know how they can bear all this crying everyday.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t improve WvW or everything else, but the way some people behave…is just sickening.
“These weapons and armor will also be able to be found as rare drops from locations in the world. Ascended weapons and armor will remain account-bound like other ascended gear.”
Did i read that right? Also, ascended trinkets are soulbound on use, not AB, right?
What’s childish about jumping puzzles, light heartedness and non-combat activities? If anything, mindless violence deep down can be seen as childish and petty. Mature is subjective and most “mature” content/games are only around to seem hip or appeal to the less mature crowd (while most of us sit there and roll our eyes.)
The day the community is satisfied is when GW3 comes out…so that the whole vicious cycle can begin anew
Do you remember how good GW2 was? Good old times. The pvp in GW3 is sub par, the pve is sub par, you have to grind for everything and i’m leaving this game cause the real problems are not getting fixed. And where is the guild wars in gw3?
I mean that in 2 ways: do you think this forum is going to be updated with avatars and such stuff, and is the community going to become more… constructive?
I apologise if this isn’t the right place to post this.
Am i the only one actually quite impressed? Sure, those new items are quite expensive, but it’s not like i should grind for them, it’s more like having to wait and playing the game instead.
This is probably our last chance before we are completely doomed. People have stopped even trying to get into WvW, as this server is being completely stomped week after week. Instead of fighting to give this server a chance, guilds have abandoned the boat to find easier and safer fights in other servers. This is why some of us decided ask for help, and this is why i’m writing this here now. Please, if you are looking for honor and for worthy fights, come join our army. Will you and/or your guild be our hero?
I was just looking at a gameplay from the game “Wildstar” and i must say that i love the idea of dodging AoE in the shape of cones, grids, squares… So why not using something like that instead of only circles? What do you think?
You’d be surprised what a healing specced water elem or mantra mesmer can do for the group.
I’m in fact a mantra mesmer. I discovered just today that the difference in healing between me with an armor without +hp and me with and armor with + hp on every piece is less than 400hp.
I’m not saying that we should be able to keep the entire team up by ourself, i just think that for now this stat isn’t really worth the effort. It might be better if it could give a (little) critical chance on the healings, or, as i was saying, reduce the cooldown or the casting time of the healing skill.
Or it could be removed and integrated in the Vitality trait.
Yeah, they wanted to remove the trinity, but why adding this stat then? I hope it’ll be buffed (even a little will do) or, if it’s really not possible, that it could reduce the cooldown or the casting time of the healing skill only.
