Guild Wars 2

In addition to having 500 Badges of Honor and being on a lvl 80 character, your character must have a WvW rank of 30 to purchase it now.

I couldn’t find it from lvl 1-29 at the Weapon Master. At lvl 30 it popped up.

Used Laurels for lvl 17-30 ;P

PvErs will always find a way around for legendaries.
WvWers, on the other hand…

PvE Players complain about Gift of Exploration requiring going into WvW. Devs make Gift of battle even more WvW-dependant.
Ah, the logic…

This is a good change. Legendary weapons should require participation in all aspects of the game.

Unless they revert the change so that legendaries are not listable on the TP, then no amount of changes will make them meaningful.

You dont have to participate in wvw to gain rank 30, as you can buy ranks with laurels.
Maybe we can buy map completion or dungeon tokens soon with badges?
Good change.

Then i suggest making a minimum AP requirements as well. Is 10k enough? Or maybe we should go higher?

Sarcasm doesnt bring you any further to rank 30.

At a minimum you should have all of your slayer achieves as a prerequisite.

Oh, i already had it. I still think this is a dumb idea.

Look at it this way – crafting a Legendary is now requiring more mastery (or at least participation) in all aspects of the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if they require at least rank 10 in SPvP too.

It did. You had to get the badges. Now they add this extra hoop to jump through. I’ve got no problem with it. I play WvW from time to time same for PvP. And seeing as my gaming time is very random and normally during the day. I think it will take me some time to get to 30. Only got to 10 today.

Not entirely true. When the game first came out you had to play WvW to get badges. Then the achievement point chests came out. I had 500 badges before I even stepped into WvW.

Now they’ve just added the requirement of playing WvW back in. Or paying in laurels to bypass it since you can buy ranks with laurels.

Really? How many laurels per level?

The problem with that is people who don’t want to do wvw will now spend a lot more time there. This will lead to people not doing a whole lot to help, but rather just enough to get their rank up thus hurting your team in the process.

I personally don’t know and I’m currently at work so I can’t check. But it’s been there since launch and in another thread it’s laurels and 50 badges of honor for a taste of liquid wxp and that it’s been there since October. Probably when they launched wxp.

^This would drive people nuts when they notice how few “true” giants there are in this game.

Found out:

It costs 2 laurels and 50 badges of honor.

Each one gives 5000 world experience. If you do not do any WvW, the first one will get you to level 5. Each one after that will only give you 1 level.

So in total to get to 30 without doing any WvW you would need:

52 laurels. 1300 badges of honor.

I’m level 10 already. I was just wondering as I don’t really have a use for laurels anymore.

Those people should leave their WvW server and join a PvE one then. Come join us on Devona’s Rest… I think the fact that we’ve been dead last in WvW for months now proves our commitment to not caring about WvW.

If you ask me, getting to world rank 30, even without using liquid WXP items, is still faster than it was like to get 500 badges back before they started handing them out like candy.

I don’t generally do WvW and I’ve done the pre-requisites for my legendary and don’t plan on making another, but I have a question about WXP. Is it per character or accountbound?

Right now it’s character bound. There is talk of it going account bound. But that doesn’t matter all that much as the Gift of Battle is account bound. So even if the change doesn’t happen before you decide to make another one, as long as you’ve got one character at or above Rank 30, you’ll be good.

I recommend seeing This Update

Ahahahahaha… dat giant slayer achievement…

Why are people complaining so much, I play WvW casually and im rank 110, so even if you have to rank to 30 or 50 or higher it does not take very long to lvl up, especially if you using birthday booster. It seems whatever ANET does, people will constantly find something to complain about. Im shocked ANET is putting up with alot of this non-sense from ppl, I bet some of them are kittened, and of course they cant mention anything back on forums, so please STOP complaining about every little thing, and play the game. CHEERS!!!
