Nothing happens to the players that already bought it.
Just like real life, things change and things can go on sale. Doesn’t mean you are entitled to a refund.
You got your infused backpiece and I am happy for you. You got use out of it. If they decide to change the recipe for infusing it to lower the requirements, this does not take anything away from you.
Recipes change. Sales happen. Things change.
Explain to me why you need the extra 5 agony resist? It is not a requirement to advance. I am at level 49 atm and have only 25 ar on 1 of my characters seeing as you can’t go any further it doesn’t matter as long as you know how to dodge or mitigate the agony. It actually does take time away required to achieve the materials.
I Agree with you with the issue of 250 globs to get +5 AR infused in it, im okay with 250 to making ti glow but not to gain 5 resists, thats way too much.
So what happens to the players that already bought it? I didn’t even find it expensive I made all the gold to buy it from doing fractals
Have you tried disabling the distance blur option? It makes things seem more detailed in the distance.
Also, if you havent already, using sweet fx improves the general look of the game, free AA, sharper textures, worth giving a look.
I tried this and I, among many other users, are highly satisfied with the improved looks.
Give it a google.
I want to give sweet fx a shot, but anet doesn’t approve of third party programs. I used something similar for bf3 but i dont want to risk getting perma banned after I put many hours in. Has anyone been banned using this?
i swear all you magic find zealots are just kitten in the punch bowl of gw2.
mf gear has power and prec on it and if you have toughness and vit your just as able to deal damage as the next.
and ya no gear score pu pu on the elitest jerks trying to take all the fun out of gw2.
You lose potential stats in place of magic find its quite obvious that it only benefits the player. Player skill aside id take someone with zerker/knights/etc over someone with magic find anyday
Using logic I guess they didn’t add it to the vendor so that people who farmed fractals wouldn’t have a headstart compared to those using the dailies to gear up in ascended. This means that eventually we will see them in the vendor, my guess is around in 4 to 6 weeks.
Sad but true
I’m guessing they don’t want players to get these amulets too quickly or players will find themselves bored again.. They will make them purchaseable around the time players get enough laurels to buy their first amulet thats my guess…
lets face it anet talks about oh hey lets have many ways to obtain ascended gear then they introduce amulets with currently 1 way to achieve them. oh and now people cant go past fractal 50 anet wants to restrict their playerbase. They want to wait till more players get around level 40-50 then gradually let them level up
am I the only one who actually enjoy challanging content?!
I would rather have 3 Volcanic fractals in the row then the Underwater ones (I sometimes literally fall asleep there)
The problem with the sharman is that it is profession filtered. If you do not have reflect skill within your group. This encounter will be a horrible experience
It’s possible to do this without a guard/mes/theif(yes i know it makes it easier) people just get paralyzed from the neckdown when they have to do something other than sitting in 1 spot and autoattacking.
I have many characters with the way laurels work atm I won’t be getting amulets for all of them. I know that they will convert achievement pts into laurels.
It’s obvious that anet didn’t put the option to obtain amulets(it would be very easy to have amulets purchasable through the vendors) through fractals yet because everyone would already have amulets meaning they don’t have a goal to keep playing. They will most likely add them to fractal vendors after the 20 days since they were released. Also the change to fractals after level 50 also proves that anet wants to restrict how fast players achieve things in this game
Actually, you CAN’T get vials of mist essence from fractals lv20 and up. If you really want them, you’re going to have to grind lower levels (1-9). An alternative though, would be to simply downgrade a glob of mist essence into 3 vials, the recipe is on the wiki.
Actually you can get vials 20+ they drop from the jade collosus and barracuda
If so, your not suppose to be able to. I read in a patch that they said that vials shouldn’t drop past lv10, and globs shouldn’t drop past lv20.
Trust me jade colosus drop vials reason is they are level 80mobs and arent scaled up
They should have made it so it displays everyones fractal level because many players are trying to do the higher levels when they don’t have any experience or AR
All-in-all I’m just glad they finally decided to give them unique inventory icons. It was a royal pain trying to find them in the midst of blue and green vendortrash!
Putrifiers are still there, and they still open with a pull. They just turned the entire map into empty space so you don’t have to think or look at your screen or even be awake to play in Orr.
Orr was always easy. Even when it was supposedly dead from being so ‘annoying’ (read: too hard) I always saw more people in Orr zones than midgame maps or frostgorge. Now it’s just as faceroll as any other zone.
Never had an issue with Orr myself. As usual if a mass amount of players complain it will turn in their favor
Ya you can get kicked and replaced. The only protection is if you zoned the party or you know the players otherwise you run the risk of getting kicked so they can invite friends
can we get a devs answer to why we can’t trade Prestine Relics for ascended amulets? What’s the reason behind this!? Ascended gear was ‘born’ in fotm, every ascended gear should be available there.

Ascended gear is just a part of gear progression, it shouldn’t be available only in fractals meaning it doesn’t have to be available there as well. People were moaning about lack of options beside fractals, you can do it now ;p
Pretty sure anet wanted players to obtain ascended gear through many ways they could have had them bought with laurels and relics
I hope so. I don’t want to run some higher level fractals with some guy that is a stealth level 1.
But it sound like your rewards are tied to either your fractal level (your highest completed fractal level) or the current fractal you are in, whichever is lower.
If that is the case, a level one person would not be getting better loot for running with a level 5 fractal group. Likewise, a level 10 person running with the same level 5 fractal group would be getting loot rated for the level 5 fractal.
I’m a little worried about the potential for abusing the ‘Players can now connect to a fractal map even if they are not part of the original group that created the fractal instance’ part. Kick someone at Maw, just to have a buddy join and get credit for the level.
It happened with dungeons and now it will happen with fractals…
If they added hard mode it will most likely be an increase in stats. It is already tiring killing off some bosses mobs with absurb health pools especially the champion ettin/shaman from the fractal with the harpies
1 of the reasons I avoid playing with a group of guildmates is because of this
Wait…your guildmates kick you out?
Time to go looking for other guildmates, that is just plain sad.
I pretty much exclusively run fractals and dungeons with my guild, it’s just an overall great time, no worry about if we are going to have a pug with a queen, or angry boss-type, QQ’ers, people that can;t play or just die all the time…cutting the fat off so to say.
Talking about joining a party with 2 or 3 players from the same guild…
2 swords(I have no use for these on my 2 characters I play)
1 trident(Didn’t want it but used it anyway)
staff(Didn’t want it but used anyway…)
I run it daily 20/30/40 on 1 char and 20/30 on another. The current system is flawed because you can have horrible luck and keep getting the same skins and ontop of that the chance to see weapons drop aren’t that good because of the useless rings
An unattainable goal is getting a specific fractal weapon. You can either get nothing or a ring and the chance of getting a weapon seems very slim then there are 19 weapons and you can keep getting the same weapon over and over. It’s probably easier to make a legendary than get a specific fractal weapon
Was wondering if Anet has plans for the ascended fractal rings? I don’t want to throw them out and find out we can actually do something with the excess rings. Would like to know now so I can clear inventory space

Yes, it’s an exploit and it will be fixed. Whether or not you believe me, I have discussed this with an Anet employee that I play with, and people should NOT be doing this.
What is the name of this anet employee that you play with?
Sorry, I will not disclose that information. I just wanted to point out that they know about it and it will be fixed.
I also have imaginary friends. Why post it in the first place anyway?

I did say globs of ectoplasm, not glob of coagulated mists.
I tried farming the veteran mobs in Urban alone, but they seem to never drop anything at all. Did I somehow hit DR while trying to get the right instance? Or do mobs there only drop items after the gate is broken into?
I understand that the skins symbolize your mastery of the fractal dungeons, but as it stands right now it mainly symbolizes your luck. You must first get an item from the daily, then get a weapon instead of a ring, and then get the correct weapon out of 19 possible drops. Either you are incredibly lucky, or you have run fractals until your brains have fallen out (and even then you may not have the weapon you want).
It just isn’t fun. It’s a chore to run multiple fractals a day hoping for the lucky drop for a dungeon skin, when every other dungeon skin is available through a vendor and token progression.
I guess I just don’t understand why the skins that offer no statistical advantage over other players still uses RNG when rings and backpieces that do offer stat advantages have tangable goals that can be reached. Again, if fractal mastery is the reason, why not have it require 2000 relics or 20 pristine?
Funnily enough, it was my constant running of the dungeon that got me to notice how my pets instantly die on any boss, making every run a bit more frustrating since I can’t keep my pet alive against agony.
Also, thanks for reading and stuff and things.
I’m trying to get 1 of the weapons and it doesn’t look like it’s happening ontop of the absurdly low chances of even getting a weapon to drop like you said its 1/19 chance to get that specific weapon and you can keep getting a weapon you got from before. I wouldn’t mind paying 100 pristine relics for a weapon. I can keep running these dailies and keep getting nothing while someone gets 1 for the first time…
I’m more curious how we get “Ascended Amulet (Infused)” than “Ascended Amulet”. Will it cost like 500 of these silly Laurels? Will we be able to get them via Fractals? I really don’t want to have to farm a daily achievement thing every day for 2 months to get an amulet.
I also hope we can get these amulets through fractals and the achievements. I’ve stockpiled a tonne of ascended rings/materials/relics they are pretty useless apart from the relics
