I cannot find any information on this but in the stream i saw something about Ascendant uniques. Are they a new tier to farm or does it mean that item values are always max? Or does it have some other additional effect? I am curious what the benefit of these will be vs Ancestrals.
EDIT: Because i am being told i dreamed it. I uploaded to Imgur
EDIT#2
To add clarity as it seems like there is confusion in the comments. On the youtube stream 2:10:28 pauce and you will see 4 tributes. I know what the trbutes are. Each tribute has “Reward Upgrades”
When i read the word legendary i think of Gear (sword, armor, rings, etc)
When i read Anscetral Legendary I think of Stronger gear (sword, armor, rings, etc)
When i read Uniques i think of Gear (sword, armor, rings, etc)
When i read Anscetral Uniques I think of Stronger gear (sword, armor, rings, etc)
When i read Ascendant Unique… My first thought is gear stronger than Anscetral. But i am not sure if that is what it is. This is the basis of my question since i couldn’t find clarity on. They did not say anything on the stream in that part so i wanted to know if there was news elswhere what they might mean by “Ascendant Unique.” If there is no information that is fine to discover later.
You might be thinking Ancestral Uniques. Uniques can appear as a standard version and as an Ancestral version. The Ancestral version will be rated 800 like all Ancestrals and will have all the same abilities the standard Unique, but it’s ability ranges will be higher.
It is not clear that an Ascendant Unique is a “tribute” because it falls in the same catergory as a reward item like a legendary. If this “Ascendant Unique” is describing a “Tribute” why wouldn’t it say “Tributes” as a reward? It reads like a new item type or tier not a drop for itself.
Wintality - I do not think you understand the image then.
I edited the post but to clarify.
Under “Dungeon affix” it says “Reward Upgrades: Ancestral Legendaries” on the left one.
ON the right it says “Reward upgrades: Ascendant Uniques.” If you do not have information on what this reward is you could have simply said so. No where am i asking what a tribute it. The system is straight forward. The reward of “Ascendant Unique” sounds like something new that they did not mention about when showcasing i the stream.
Ancestral are already in the game, everything in world tier 4 that dropped as a Ancestral tag on them even the unique. in this case they will only drop in torments’ 1-4 in the new update. Cause of the changes to world difficulty and loot drop. you have only normal gear and ancestral gear which is your endgame gear. Those offering is just helping you narrow down what version of gear your trying to target farm. Ancestral are supposed to be the rare chase gear now, normal gear cap item power 750, with no GA, while ancestral are item power 800 with least 1 Ga on them. So the Sigel is basically a offering to increase getting either legendary or unique version of ancestral gear. if your using the 3 or 4 option your wrote in the post.
Legendary are the orange gear with aspect on them, can be modified
Unique are named item that have locked in specific aspect and affixes that can’t be altered
Ancestral is upgraded versions of gear a Higher item power
I saw the same thing you did. Then i waited for them to talk about it and they didn’t. Then i looked for it in the patch notes and there’s nothing. So we’ll find out in game next week… unless someone wants to tweet at Adam Fletcher and see if he responds. I don’t have a twitter account.
Thank you Hex! i thought i was crazy and i haven’t checked Adam’s twitter either but i am guessing its information what has not been disclosed (just like about damage to angels). Im excited to see what else we will discover when the expansion hits next week.
