Yeah, I meant ascended, sorry about that. So if I have exotic weapons from dungeon tokens, is the upgrade to the ascended weapons that much of a bump or are those just wasted materials I should have saved for the legendary?

It's a small but noticeable bump. 5% is the number that gets parroted but I haven't checked. Compared to the cost of a legendary, 1-2 ascended weapons really isn't that much, BUT since the bump is smallish, holding your gold/items for a legendary instead isn't a bad idea. Ascended becomes more essential for higher fractals, a dungeon type where you need to slot the agony resist infusions.
At least you could let your gold/ecto/material stores build up and then see if there's a legendary you like (new or old) .

Ascended armor is better then exotic but only a 5% so it is almost negliable .
If all you plan to do is PVE then you are good to go with Exotics .
Perhaps look into getting some ascended trinkets .
The only reason i would recommend going after Ascended gear is if you are planning to do High level fractals since youll need Ascended armor for Infusion slots .
Edit : Beaten to a pulp .
Thanks. already have the shard thankfully ^^
Ah that explains it. I'll get at least one of those stones then, getting an ascended armor set is probably my next goal after Sunrise (and some 20 slot bags). I guess I'd need at least one Augur's Stone per ascended piece?
That's right.

Sincerely, ascended is tied into 20 slot bags, in the sense that you can buy 20 slot bags with fractal currency, so that would be an extra incentive. But I only recommend ascended if you are seriously considering fractals.

Full ascended berserker vs full exotic berserker is somewhere around a 10 to 11% difference in damage output.
But almost all of that is from weapons and trinkets which are (somewhat) easy to get.
Ascended armor doesn't actually do a huge amount to boost damage. Something like 1% total on its own. It's there for the extra armor, obviously, and the infusion slots.
This also only applies at level 80. The way lower levels scale, there is often a 0% difference between ascended and exotic.

I was thinking more of buying some candy corn cub things for the bags
After Sunrise, I'd probably need another superficial incentive to strive towards, and ascended items seem like the way to go. And I'd like to try something higher than fractal lvl 9 some day sackboy2197

From what they wrote in the article, it seems that this is just an anticipation, so you'll be able to buy them somewhere down the line. Also, there's definitely too many people with those things around.
Whoa, thank you guys! Got it with 5 mins to spare. woo.if youre fast you can still get them and become a true Hawkian
Also happened to nab my Chest of Loyalty. Yay!
I should convert some of my assets to cash, I've been stockpiling for a while now and it'll be time to kit out my Engi soon.
kos, useless as always.
Too late, anyway I'm just holding them in the bank for my Revenant.

Is the only XP you get from PvP, through the Scrolls? I thought Ranking up gave you XP as well, so your character would at some point get to 80.
I think so : still have to try .

All XP in PvP is through Scrolls.

Yep. If you want an invite, all we need is a character or account name.

____ is dead is a meme of sorts in the guild.
If you are on an NA server, then it doesn't matter much at all, you can still do everything with GAF except WvW. If you are on EU, then you can only chat I think.

PvE maps are no longer tied to their respective servers... Anet has Megaserver system, all servers share the same PvE map until that map reaches it's max population, then the system starts a new map..

I like this but it's a little too passive for me to be a main theme.
Looks like Zeroth got you, welcome.
It's an in-joke, saying that the game and/or guild is dead when it's very clearly not the case (the game is quite lively and the guild is almost at the 500 member cap again). It's replaced "I'm cancelling my subscription!", arguably the funnier of the two jokes (at least that one doesn't confuse new players).
This is what played over the demo during the splash screen and (I think) character creation, probably just something cool that'll be played later on. I do like the direction they're taking the music though. This is bombastic and adventurous without relying on Jeremy Soule's well-worn tropes.

Gotcha. When you log in, press g, then click on "Accept" and "Represent".

Zeroth literally got you 15 seconds before I tried to. Remember to click "Represent" in the guild panel.

Alright will do, cheers for the invite. At work at the moment so I'll be online later. I've just been repping my 1 man guild at the moment for my private guild bank, gets a bit boring roaming around solo
dem stability updates, we PS4 now
haha I was just thinking that
Hey Guild Wars 2gaf, I'm thinking about picking this up soon, was hoping to know if there would be peeps that would like to suffer the early stuff with me to help my ass out and stuff.
I like long walks on the beach, candle light dinners, frisky women, and hacking and slashing things. Maybe even shooting giant fireballs from my hand. I also have a mic. = D

Don't know if folks care, but Sodapoppin (well known streamer, pulls a pretty constant 10k+) has indicated he's moving to GW2 as his primary MMO. Might bring in a surprising number of players via the "pewdiepie effect".
Also: I'm not terribly active, but I'd enjoy an invite. Farlous is my main.
