Legendary Ring. Why is there no outrage?

I plan to do the new wing for the story, but I would have like if the legendary world was locked behind the maps of LS4, like Aurora was for LS3. My engi has all possible legendary items at this moment and I will do the same for ring too, but I still will never agree with all this locking accesorries behind raid. Raids had their legendary armor, Story maps should have had their legendary trinkets.

 

And.....Have you ever heard of Aurora ?

[ProtoGunner.4953]

There needs to be something special for the raids. But yes, it should have been something different.

Yes, I have Aurora too. But Aurora is not locked behind raids, is locked behind the LS3 maps.

Aurora was not failed at all. Most of my guild mates had the druidic back before they even announced Aurora. It is probably the cheapest Ascended backpack you can get, even if it is time locked. 2 weeks are more than enough to get it.

I heard raiders play for challenge and prestige :)

Agreed.

 

Please stop making raids rewarding. So few players actually do raids in this game because of how unaccessible they are to someone even if that person is capable of doing them nearly blindfolded.

I didn't mention the cost, but the time sink and useless heart farming.

It was definitely a fail.

 

Some get started with aurora before it was announced?

Why should i care?

[Esquilax.3491]

Ugh why Anet...?

 

There are so many reasons why someone wouldn't raid. Very few of them have to do with lack of interest or motivation.

[Pifil.5193]

Why no outrage? I personally don't feel like community outrage changes anything.

 

They are trying to incentivise raiding. A lot of raiders already have their legendary armour and the new raid needs new rewards. This ring being available through raiding seems OK to me, a non-raider.

 

It seems OK to me because I expect another legendary ring/accessory/amulet to become available with the final episode of LS4 like Aurora was made available at the end of LS3. I wouldn't have expected one at the start of LS4, it's a good means to make us revisit the entire season.

[Zaraki.5784]

Just a question for those who already unlocked it:

Is unlocking collection the only raid-tied thing or the items needed for the collection are also raid-tied (like it was for leg armor)?

[Torolan.5816]

I think it is again just a very thinnly veiled attempt to lure people into raiding. if Anet would use their energy to produce a gripping story with reasonable APs for the completionists instead of this they would be into a much better spot. Contrary to legendary armor, a legendary ring is very easy to replace if you already are a veteran of the game so I won´t go on a rage for it.

If the raids need even more one-time incentives than they already have, then they must be in a really bad shape.

Raids have already way too many special things made just for them. They do not need more.

 

[Manasa Devi.7958]

I wasn't aware of this until I read this thread, so I didn't know there was something to be outraged about.

2 years ago community outrage resulted in giving gw2 veterans free character slot for HoT preorder

 

1 person outrage succeeded in removal of Achievement Points from top PvP titles.

 

Another community outrage resulted in removal Desert Borderlands after HoT

 

Another community outrage resulted in dev promising to improve legendary armor looks (still waiting for this to happen).

 

Facts prove, that community outrages can make a change and are very effective in infuencing Anet's decisions.

[TheQuickFox.3826]

Please add an way to unlock this collection with a laurel purchase. Back in the days, almost all the best stuff in game required laurels as it was the premium currency. But not much has been added to the laurel vendors since.

 

It would be a nice solution: hardcore raiders are not being bothered with non-raiders only wanting a ring and non-raiders can unlock their collection in a way that it compatible with their style of playing GW2.

[PopeUrban.2578]

Raids have raid-appropriate rewards. Legendary items are not more powerful than ascended. I'm not sure what the problem is here.

[Hitman.5829]

As a player who plays WvW exclusively, this is outrageous! I haven't played a single raid and I am level 22k+ and I have been playing this game for 5 years. Raids are not for me, I do not like them! If you are going to introduce an item to the game, do not make it exclusive to a single play mode.

 

Make items available in all 3 modes:

PvE

WvW

PvP

[TheQuickFox.3826]

I defeated a raid boss once. (Just to unlock the mastery track)

But this collection is still locked for me. :/

This I can agree with completely.

[Ardid.7203]

They seems to be trying to get people into raiding by any possible method.

I only did Cairn and have the collection unlocked.

What do you need stat swapping for if you do not Raid, PvP, or WvW?

 

 

[Matick.4132]

Honestly:

 

I don't see anything wrong with putting cool stuff behind an hard earned achievement, or as a big gratitude for killing a god or so.

**I'd rather have this, then having to buy it in the gemshop!**

[Mahou.3924]

I don't even have crafted Ascended gear; only Laurel-bought, Caladbolg and from HoT story achievements. So I couldn't care less about legendaries, or raids. I get slight nausea as soon as I enter instanced content with a group.

[Makuragee.3058]

Can Anet leave raid behind already like they did with dungeon. Your game is only popular for open world and pvp so why dont you work on your strong perk instead of this boring mess
