Ascended items make two things clear:
– ANET doesn’t like crafting disciplines because, as more Ascended gear comes in, there less best in slot gear crafters can produce.
– ANET doesn’t like players trading with each other because Backpieces require bind-on-pickup vials, rings are bind on pickup, and amulets will probably be bind on pickup.
LOL Anet doesn’t like players trading, that’s why the TP is so hidden and 90% of the items in this game are not BoP.

Fractal and Ascended mean the same thing because EVERYBODY knows that the only way to get Ascended items is from fractals ala fractals=ascended.
If you speak for EVERYBODY, I’ll assume that you certainly asked EVERYBODY about it. That being said, I’ll list some FACTS, not opinions :
- Ascended rings are exclusive to Fractals (will hopefully not be tomorrow)
- Ascended back pieces are [NOT] exclusive to Fractals ( this is wrong, they are, someone below me corrected me as I was wrong)
- The upcoming ( as in, released tomorrow ) Ascended amulets are NOT exclusive to Fractals.
This proves that your argument is false. Futhermore, there are actually items that people refer to " fractal weapons " as it’s their name ( i.e. Fractal Greatsword ) but guess what? Those are not ascended tier, but exotics!
I’m discussing this minor tidbit because I have nothing else to say regarding your thread apart from the fact that I agree with you and wish crafting would stay relevant through the release of ascended items. But instead of having new items to craft ex-novo, I’d like a recipe you could use to upgrade exotics into ascendeds. This way you would keep skin (stats) diversity and an higher demand for exotics
edit:
I was wrong, backpieces ARE exclusive to fractals. Sorry about that.

No they are Ascended Items because that’s the name Arenanet gave them. Let’s not make up confusing names for new players.

First of all they are ASCENDED items, not FRACTAL items. That being said, I agree with you and wish they made all professions capable of crafting ascended items. Meanwhile jewelcrafters suffer a bit just like they enjoyed being the only reliable source of exotic trinkets

Yeah, we definitely need a way to get our favourite skins with tokens like they did with rings. If you want to keep the weapons rare and exclusive for high level fracs just make the tokens drop from lv 20+ (or 30/40+)

The % goes up and it is said that at lv 50+ you get around 75% chance to get a weapon per daily, altough it’s not confirmed yet. As far as I know, only the daily has a chance of dropping one.

Armor value is the sum of “defence + toughness” so 1 point of toughness increases your armor by 1 point. Altough I’m not sure, attack should be “weapon base dmg + power” so 1 point of power equals to 1 in attack.

What a big third arm Wolfheart, congrats we are all impressed and jealous. You’re so outrageously strong and gifted, indecent !
Thanks! But it’s not really about how big my third arm is (it’s not really big), but about how little is yours (it’s really small!). After all, we’ve been taking in so much trolling it’s my right to give some back But let’s just end it here or a mod will ( rightfully so ) close the thread.
P.s. it’s usually called third leg, not arm.
Bickering aside, I gotta give Viz props for how well organized they are. They might not be the best small scale fighters, but they’re still dominant in T1 and WvW it’s not really about small scale fights anyways

Let’s sum up the conclusions this thread as brought me to :
- Every MF user is better than non-MF user because they are inherently as skilled as Wethospu and Powerr put together.
- Going out of our way to contribute less and be rewarded more is okay, anyone who disagrees is an elitist min-maxer prick.
- Sometimes, 200>210 .
- When running group content nobody should care about what I wear because group content is all about myself and myself alone.
Actually you know, I never ask people to link items but this thread and its stupid arguments actually convinced me to insta-boot every MF user from my parties.

I know it’s relatively off-topic but I just wanted to chime in and share my opinion regarding smooth penguin’s post: I work hard to get things I like in real life. This is a game, people don’t play games to “work hard”. Especially if the “hard work” is completing boring and mind-numbing tasks such as killing sparks over and over and over…
I don’t have any problems with vanity items being hard to get but I’d like something once in a while that rewards skill rather than farm and I’d also like some middle ground items that don’t cost 50g+. I played ( played, not farmed ) the game since launch with 3h+ per day, completed every dungeon, reached fractal lv 34, gotten 1k+ badges of honor and had great fun exploring the maps and completing JPs. All I’ve gotten is a crafted exo armor and dungeon weapons, plus 70g in my bank. Zero vanity items and the ability to buy, at best, one of them. If someone else spent as much time as I did farming the same mob/event like a bot, he would’ve gotten two legendaries. That’s just not right in my book.

Players from national servers talk about coordination.
I think we talk about random players discovering the WvW maps and involving them into battle.
You probably know much less about this than Elona, Deso or Vizu since SFR is a “flavour of the month” server.

Well I think we’ve come to an agreement, or sort of We could further discuss the strenght of WoR/SoA but I don’t think that’s the thread for it. I do understand, though, the gripe of OP with how “fire and forget” WoR and especially SoA feel, and how a better reward/risk ratio could be implemented not only with Guardians but many other classes. But I think that’s asking for too much and it’s again, another whole topic.

I’ll try to be very kind, or else your itchy report finger will earn me another infraction because, apparently, saying " I don’t trust you" is trolling and bashing a nameless guild that doesn’t bother helping its guildmates is prohibited. And then obvious trolls that post just to belittle other users are allowed to run rampant. Oh well, moving on.
I’m very sad to hear about this incident and I agree with you, 2 players shouldn’t be able to kick a whole party. Right now there’s not much you can do but to prehemptively take screenshots if things start looking fishy and report the players to Anet. Also try to always be the first one who enters the dungeon, so kicking you means everyone gets booted. I don’t think this will be very effective but it’s the best you can do, it’s on Arenanet to change the kick system so that the majority ( 3 players, not 4 ) has to vote yes to kick someone.
P.s. you’ve been very unlucky because in the 50+ fractals I’ve ran I’ve never seen someone griefed/kicked.
P.p.s. do you play on EU? If you keep on having bad luck just hit me up and I’ll help you since low level fractals are really fast.

Dear OP, advocating a nerf to Guardians just because it happens that we are the best class at dealing with projectiles is, honestly, foolish. While I agree with you ( Guardians are too useful in FotM ) you should cure the problem at the root: fractal encounters rely too much on projectiles. If we had a whole dungeon about dealing condition dmg ( teleporting around) that would not be a valid reason for nerfing Necromancers (Thieves). So rather then ask for uncalled nerfs on a class already weak to ranged/kiting, ask Anet not to make encounters so reliant on a single mechanic.
P.s. @ thieves:
Comparing Smoke Screen to Wall of Reflection and whining that’s weaker is like me comparing http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Judge%27s_Intervention to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadowstep and doing the same. You’ll get to have WoR when you’ll stop teleporting around with 1200 range like it’s nobody business
P.p.s. My scepter auto has never gotten over 1k damage.
P.p.p.s. Nobody ever uses Shield of the Avenger besides certain encounters in fractals and very rarely in WvW. Let’s nerf it XD

Power Prec Tough Shout + Rune of the Soldier guardian here. I think we are in a pretty good spot when it comes to PvE (maybe a bit over the top) but not as good as warriors. With the way PvE Fights are currently designed, we range from useful to insanely strong based on the encounter, but lack in damage and combo fields to make up for it. I’m always happy to see a fellow guardian in party unless we are already 2 but I value much more players, rather than classes.
By the way since there are way too many indoctrinated players I’m making good use of this occasion by emphasizing how guardians are NOT dedicated tanks or healers, you don’t NEED them everywhere you go and if you die with a guardian around it’s your kitten fault, as we have no taunts and little control over aggro.

You didn’t really state why you don’t like the system, you just said that is “so bad, overly complicated, bad”. That my friend, is kinda rude in my book. You even ignored my suggestion, and while the system can certainly be improved, spending 1.20s for a 100 uses mining pick will easily fix your problem at the sacrifice of what, 5% on gold gained?

A better question would be, why do people defend magic find? I mean, we are 5 pages in and there’s people that still use “skill” as a relevant argument, when it has no weight given the premises. Others trying to say that it’s ok using MF because having 66% or less stats compared to a regular exotic is not a big deal (lol). To those I say, please spend your time with like-minded people and we’ll see how much “shines” you get when it takes 1h to clear AC for you
It should be pretty obvious to every average joe out there that using MF in dungeons is a big middle finger to everyone in your party… a masterwork non-mf set has more stats, nuff said.

Berserker, Knight, Cleric, Explorer are just some of the many names Arenanet gave to gear based on what stats they have. For example, a weapon that has:
- Power
- Precision
- % crit dmg
Is a Berserker weapon.

I spend -part- of my time in FOTM. I also level up an alt, do WvW, SPvP and sometimes Arah.
As I’ve said, the best ways to make gold , dungeon-wise, are AC and CoF. In the 1.5-2h it takes for me to complete a lv 30 fractal, you can run with almost no effort 4 paths in those dungeons and walk out with 2g+ and a bunch of guaranteed yellows from the tokens. So, as far as fast gold making goes, it is widely known that AC & COF > FOTM, I don’t see your argument.

I love DR because it allows me, someone who plays the game to have fun, not to make money, to have a reasonable amount of money. In 800h+ of GW2 playtime I’ve never encountered it, so this mean it affects only people that are after a quick buck and just repeating over and over and over again whatever currently gives more g/h. If we had no DR everyone would be repeating CoF/AC non stop all day erryday making tons of gold while I’d be stuck with barely anything since I want challenge and run high level fracs/Arah/WvW.

LoL is an esport because battles last around 30mins (fairly long in my opinion) and require different classes (including healers)
WHAT?! A —→ MATCH <-— lasts about 30 minutes, actual fights/teamfights are between 5s-20s. Not only that, but LoL has no dedicated healers, only support characters that occasionally throw an heal here and there.

What? Guardians are probably one of the strongest class in every aspect of the game, unlike warriors who shine in pve but are not really as good in PvP. Warriors surely have higher dps/burst dps/mobility, but can they:
- grant protection AoE?
- grant stability AoE?
- Reflect/block projectiles?
- Block areas?
- Easily cleanse conditions?

I can see it work but it will never reach LoL or SC2 level of popularity, in my opinion. I’ve watched most of the casted matches around and some non-casted and I find them entertaining, altough painful to follow without a proper observer mode and “trained” casters.
@ Sylosi so your argument is basically that if something is not popular, it sucks and it is a joke? Really? I thought that humanity, as a whole, was well past the notion that popularity =/= quality, but since you still haven’t gotten that, let’s pretend your argument is worthy. Do you know how big was Brood War and it’s esport scene in South Korea? What tells you something similar can’t/will not happen in other countries? After all, if 70m people find entertaining watching some guys kick a ball around…

I think it’s a relatively good thing, so experiencing the maps again won’t be boring
My theory is that 90% of the people that have gotten 100% of map exploration just bumrushed vistas pois and hearts as fast as possible. This of course doesn’t leave many memories and usually completing a map this way means that you have just seen, at best, 50% of what the map has to offer. Many, many little details don’t contribute to map completion. For example, to anyone who completed Queensdale, did you know that:
- There’s a graveyard with epitaphs you can read
- Some epitaphs refer to NPCs whose death is mentioned by other ( living ) NPCs, i.e. the husband of Orchard heart NPC
- The gravekeeper is pretty nuts
- At night, the place gets spooky and a DE involving a ghost starts.
- There’s a place with a great view, as the kids playing there note
- Underneath this place a kid in a cave says that he doesn’t play with his friends anymore because he used to play Snaff’s part ( lol )
- There’s a jumping puzzle
- Inside the windmill, in a small room in the highest floor, a cat keeps rolling on a bed ( o .o )
- Two kids are coercing their father to jump in a lake to prove his courage

Hello and welcome to GW2. Let me assure you that the Thief is probably the best profession as far as burst damage goes so your choice should serve you well. There’s no Player vs Bots, but you can find NPCs that will fight you in the heart of the mists. There’s also no matchmaking unfortunately. However, I still suggest that you try hotjoin games as they are for new players/messing around and nobody will care about your performance (this is not LoL :P )

Have you ever followed your Personal Story missions? There’s some green text on your screen, upper corner, it should direct you to the next step of this chain of missions.
Did you know you can jump right into structured PvP from the get go? Just open the hero panel (H) and click on “go to the heart of the mists”. After a brief tutorial you’ll be in a pvp lobby where you’ll instantly have max stats gear and be lv 80. Be warned tough that your early games can be a bit difficult, especially if your opponents are experienced.
Have you tried WvWvW? It’s a 24/7 war where three servers fight over objectives such as castles and keeps. It’s not really solo-friendly, especially for a lower level character, but if you find a small ( or big ) group it can be great fun.
Have you done dungeons? You can enter Ascalonian Catacombs at level 30.
These are just some of the possibilities. Be warned tough that there’s no special “end-game” content so if all those activities bore you, the game might not be for you. Just out of curiosity, what is the “final goal” of your dream-MMO?

People who preach we should have no pvp gear are really just casuals who were never going to compete with us anyway.
I play quite a lot of PvP, am currently rank 28 ( not impressive, I know, but probably top 5% of GW2’s total population ) and I’m against pvp gear because it doesn’t add anything to the game and comes at the price of an artificial barrier of entry and ruined Esports potential. If you see no point in playing a game if it doesn’t give you “+x for each y” you might wanna go back to games that embrace the skinner box mentality more thoroughly.
