Ascended armors are "slightly more powerful than exotics" and can, in some cases, hold slots for infusions. Infusions will allow you to increase your character's power. Guild Wars players are familiar with infusing armor, although I'll be my hat that the process doesn't involve creepy Seers this time 'round."
Welp, I dunno.

I'm guessing something along the lines of "they're abandoning their philosophy of no gear treadmill to please the minuscule percentage of players that wanted it to be EQ-like."
Or something. I don't know what to make of it yet.

Lasts 2 days, content will be chewed up within a day, so much for a viable end game.

GW1 did armor better. This is unnecessary, unless this new armor tier comes with drawbacks.

The event lasts 2 days, after that there is a new dungeon, full new zone, new spvp map and new armour. If that isn't new content I don't know what is.

Don't argue with idiots. They will just bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

more powerful than exotics? I don't like the sound of that at all
put in different stat spreads instead. That would be MUCH better

Care to show a link that'll it last past 2 days, everything I see says it's only there for 2 days
Edit: I see where the new sPVP goes into Beta then, but not released, etc.

"Timeline
Everything starts, as we've known for some time, on November 15th. While the Lost Shores event itself won't begin until Friday, Thursday will see the introduction of the patch and the beginning of the free friend referral period. The Lost Shores event kicks off on Friday at 3:00 p.m. EST, and the finale event begins on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. EST. The event and trial weekend will end Sunday evening.
Once the event is over, we'll still have access to oodles of stuff, like the new dungeon, zone, and PvP map.Low-level characters and friends recruited for the free trial weekend will be able to take advantage of side-kicking to play level 80 content for the course of the weekend, since the whole goal is to allow them to see all the cool stuff. Side-kicking is not one of the things that will be lingering on after the weekend is over, so be sure to take advantage of it while you can."

Fair enough, we'll have access to mini dungeons and a small island, as I said. That'll last a day
