Guild Wars 2 - ArenaNet explains the "Ascended equipment"

This weekend starts with "The Lost Coast" already the next event in Guild Wars 2 and also brings the same diverse innovations. In particular, the notice "New equipment, additional weapon skins on item improvements to another category of items between the degrees" "last" Exotic "and" Legendary encouraged to heated discussions in the community (see Wartower.de forum # 1 and # 2).

Now Linsey Murdock, game designer at ArenaNet announces, in an official blog post to explain it word and in particular the new "Ascended equipment". Below is a brief summary, the complete article can be found here.

We have always worked hard to create a progression that is satisfactory and is not equipment-Grind, and our new initiative to equipment progression is no exception, by adding new, more challenging game mechanics to our Endgame and opportunities for high- end gw2 gold players to mitigate these mechanisms through object-progression, we add personal progress without changing the game feels like an endless subject of treadmill, when the goods are out of your reach. Fans of the original Guild Wars will eventually recognize the familiar approach of our new progression. The first new game mechanics that we add is torture that you will encounter in the dungeons of the fog fractals, and can weaken by infusions.

In future releases of other endgame content you will notice that more infusions and Ascended objects find their way into the game. Sooner or later you will be able to furnish you with a complete set of equipment and high Ascended infusions that will give you when playing the endgame content of an advantage.

In addition, you will in the future more items to the degree Legendary and an update of our existing Legendary Weapons see. It was always intended that Legendary items with other "best place" objects are equal. So do not worry - all existing Legendary Weapons, the exotic weapons are currently equivalent will be upgraded so that they have the same value as Ascended weapons as soon as we bring the Ascended weapons into play. Legendary weapons are thus still be the "best place" items. All Legendary items will have Ascended force. We also plan, with a touch of "scavenger hunt" to introduce more entertaining methods for acquiring legendary predecessor objects than present.

These additions in November are just the beginning of our initiative to object-development. We will in the future add a ton of new content for high level characters to buy Guild Wars 2 gold. With the introduction of new content for high level we are also free Ascended and Legendary items put into play (other rewards that you can earn while playing, not to mention).
