Linsey Murdock has written a new blog post on the Guild Wars 2 site that details some exciting news about new high end ascended gear for players. The post details how new gear progressions and 'challenging new game mechanics' will give high level players incentive to progress and reason to step carefully.
New Condition: Agony
This extremely dangerous condition ticks percentages of player health away and can’t be cleansed by normal means. Players who wish to delve deep into the Fractals will find that Agony makes progress increasingly difficult, until they reach the point where some defense against this condition is a must. The only way to mitigate Agony damage is by building up resistance through Infusions, a new type of upgrade component that can be acquired in the Mystic Forge.New Upgrades: Infusions
Infusions are a special new type of Upgrade Component that can only be slotted into special Infusion slots on gear. For now, Infusions slots can only be found in gear of a new rarity type: Ascended.
New Rarity Type: Ascended
Ascended gear works a little bit differently than other gear types.This new rarity type falls between Exotic and Legendary on the spectrum of rarity and has slightly higher stats than Exotics. Players will be able to acquire Ascended Rings in the Fractals of the Mists dungeon, and Ascended items worn on the back can be acquired through special Mystic Forge recipes.
The Future of Items Progression
We'll see more Infusions and Ascended item types being added to the game. Eventually, we’ll be able to kit ourself out with a full set of Ascended gear and high end Infusions to help give you the edge in end game content. We’ll also see more Legendary items in the future and an update to our existing Legendary weapons. Hope we can get more items with enough Guild Wars 2 gold. Choose Guild Wars 2 power leveling to get stronger in game!
The first Infusions and Ascended items will be added to Guild Wars 2 later this month, but Murdock promised that more progression is on the way.
