Prices of ecto’s have not gone up.. i just purchased 50 last night at the cost of 35 silver each. I now have 100 ready and waiting for when i get enough Laurels… wont be very long now already have 10 laurels saved up, got my Ascended backpiece, rings and amulet already. wont be long until i have my earings !
I dont know what the fuss is all about .. why hasnt anyone said anything about the fact it costs 250 ecto’s to infuse an ascended back piece with +5 AR ? haha ..talk about complete rip off
We already have one exchange with gems and gold.. but we do need this best end gear item issue fixed ASAP! Only having one way to PLAY the game, to have the chance to get an item that improves your player build is not a good way of doing things when you want to keep players from leaving your game!
You get back a UN-soulbound ( but still account bound item ) with an empty slot. ( you lose the “slotted” infusion )
But as a bonus you can now re-use this new item on any Toon.
you will then need to put on a new infusion.
What you want to do from now on is hop on gw2lfg go into a 14+ fractal and after an hour you will come out with 2-4 gold! and maybe a pink ring or COF run 1 for 40 mins buy RARE items with your tokens and you will have 2 gold
Those foods are now nothing special .. but i guess all runes and Sigels had the cooldowns so they are just doing what they should have done from the start.
The Omnonberry Pie/Ghosts now no longer give you 380health unlimited times for each crit
( 66% Chance to gain health on Crit )
They now have a cooldown so rather then getting like 10,000 Health from the food buff in a 4 second hundred blades attack on a big mob! You will get 360 to 720 health.
BIG CHANGE!!
This food buff was one the the best thing for DPS warriors to help them stay alive… you could pretty much sustain your health while killing massive mobs! Not no more!
The requests of many outweigh those of the of the few. (some people want gear grind) I don’t but i DO really like the ascended stuff!
The stupid thing about that is the few are the people who play this game day in and day out and the many are the ones that will move onto the next big thing after 3-6 months.
We can look forward to server consolidation as the player base shrinks. But i do hope that the game becomes more popular and grows massive!.. i really do hope they move in the right direction for us to continue to enjoy this awesome game.
I HATE WOW more then anything i would never play a WOW clone
Here’s hoping that Whoever this Colin guy is stick’s to what he has said!
A level cap of 100 could be doable with a gear cap of 80 with exception of Legendary armor & weapons being the top level 100 gear that are only there as long term goal would be awesome! Not many people would be able to get a full set of Legendary gear so it wouldn’t matter!
“nothing like having a wallet filled with 18 different currencies for any occasion”
You said it!!!
Gems, Gold, Karma, Skill points, Laurels, Glob’s of Ectoplasm, Fractal Essence, Pristine Fractal Essence, Condensed Fractal, Badges of honor and All the different types of Dungeon Token. LOL did i miss any? Is it strange i want MORE!!. i must admit it’s getting a little out of hand
I didn’t include the Legendary stuff like Obsidian shards and Clovers because they are not really a common currency
The worry is not so much exotic needing to be replaced as much as it is ascended and legendary gear needing to be replaced. Has anyone even stooped to think about that?
Your level 80 legendary tough/vit/power is now nothing special your 100 gold ascended level 80 back piece, trinkets, armor & weapons are now just pointless skins as a level 100 blue item that cost 90 copper is better.
They intend to introduce a whole complement of ascended level 80 gear this year to have them all voided and replaced by level 100 gear at the end of the year with an expansion…
Now at 100g for each infused ascended item that’s not GOOD!
They need to cost allot! but what they could do is fix the reward from rare items to be more common Ive salvaged 4 Level 75+ rare weapons and got back 1 ecto .. not very good odds if you ask me! thats using a master kit.. a Black Lion kit gets me 3 out of 4 but if you were to buy a Black Lion kit with gems you changed for gold with the same gold you could buy 16ecto’s LOL haha
I still remember not that long ago extos were 16 Silver each and i was like hellz no im not paying that much for one!
I’m going to keep playing as long as the game keeps bringing in ascended armor and new content. If the level cap is ever increased and everything i have then becomes void worthless.. That’s is when i will stop playing and go back to good old RTS games.
But so far this has not bee officially stated by Anet so all is well in the GW2 world..
Still the best game I’ve played in a very long time.
We’ve heard rumors of an expansion for GW2 coming sometime in the future. But will it or wont it bring along an extra 20 level’s on the current 80 cap.
Any thoughts on moving to lvl 100 from the base 80 ?
I really hope the game stays at 80 and i would much rather see new armor, new weapons, zones and more dungeons with agony + difficulty creep just like FOTM.
power/toughness/crit damage/
I already have the power/toughness/crit damage/ Ascended Quiver and rings so it works out well for getting max level toughness in game but still with decent DPS
I run 20, 30, 0, 0, 20
