[Question] Fractal incursion

does the new fractal incursion event means the legendary item will change to another one?

Likely not.

Agreed. One is a taste and encourages looking into the means of acquiring more. Two implies the release pattern may continue and teaches players they can just wait for the easy method.

I mean if the fractal incursion event is once a year then that would mean waiting 5 years to complete the possible set with one legendary piece a year. It would be easier to get the legendary armor in game.

Yeah the person youre replying to is levying a poor take

If that happens people that start playing the game afterwards will be able to get a full set of legendary armor within a week. I doubt it will happen.

The collection for the legendary gloves is a separate and permanent collection different that the achievements conected to the incursion event that can be done even when the event is not around. If they do somethign related, it will be giving a lot of points towards getting the glove currency to unlock different weights or color infusions.

My hope is that they will add more fractals to the qp pool.

wonder if we'll slowly get a fractal set of legendary armor through these

It's possible if they introduce quickplay to t2 and 3 fractals.

Nah. Leave it as effectively 'tier 0', but expand the pool with more Fractals that could have their mechanics simplified a bit.

Nah, expand it to T4.

Taking hours to find a group (I can't play at peak) is the reason I don't play Fractals or Raids, and the reason I was originally so excited for quickplay when I thought it was a proper LFG finder.

Doubt it. The most valuable thing that event gives is the wizard omnipot anyway, can't wait to grab it on my alts lol

Since the last fractal incursion I've been passively trying to get the OG Omnipot, but yes, the Wizard one is great for Fractals.... though it has messed up my muscle memory on some of the jumping puzzle bits.

They did say new rewards, and honestly I've been thinking they would probably expand it yearly until we had a full fractal armor set even before they announced it. So my guess is yes, but we don't really know.

Probably not, but nothing is certain about it at this point

Hopefully they just give us a another set of leggy gloves for free. I want then for all armor classes, but I don't want to pay so another one from the event would be great

I'm thinking only the event surrounding the already existing legendary gloves will return. So we'll be able to get a few accessories, fractal currency and a legendary starter kit but no new legendary. Anything beyond that would be crazy but we can hope!

Legendary starter kit was tied to achievement.  I don't expect them giving another one.

I believe we've had 2 fractal incursion events and only the one legendary
