Guild Wars 2

I play around 5-6 hours in WvW every day which is about 99% of my gw gameplay, the rest is afking while waiting for server queue to put me into the action. The cost of both badges and silver in WvW is good but i think we could add a new crafting skill onto the table that i personally would change too in an instant even if it took up 2 crafting slots.

Siegeweapon crafting could enable us to create items that we use everyday in defence and offence without taking a toll on the silver or badges, we get enough loot to be able to destroy or harvest in wvw that it could sustain us in building the items. I dont want it to be over the top, just something that i got use for. Because every coin i spend in wvw is mostly on upgrading keeps,towers and supplycamps.

1-100, just the single shot type stuff a poor arrowcart, catapult etc
100-200, more advanced 2 shot deal
200-300, a 3 shot deal, more efficient arrows etc
300-400, trebuchets and its usage, perhaps a boulder upgrade etc.
400, Upgrades on Oil,Cannons,Mortars where we could thinker into new projectiles, more plating a new more burning mixture.

Any crafting of consumable items that can maintain demand gets my approval.

Sounds like a great idea! Nothing I would personally craft, but I can see others more invested in wvw that would love to do this!

Yes Blackwolfe, its something that i could actually use. The rest is bought with Karma anyway (items) and coin is used for upgrading the Keeps n whatsnot (which costs are abit steep btw).

excelent idea! this would be a great addition of depth to WvW [I said addition, not introduction] and for some reason as soon as I saw the title I wanted to start crafting!

Mm, the other types of crafting arent really helping me anyway, well abit of buffs through food but thats it the rest is karma bought. Another reason i dislike the situation we have now in wvw is that just a handfull is doing something when it comes to purcases of siegeengines.

6 silver for an arrowcart or 6 badges, the upgrade for a keep isnt cheap either its up in gold’s + the time invested in the upgrading over a long time. But it can be conquered very fast when people are asleep and nothing matters how many items you purcased. But i sit here with tons of reg’s that i could be using for crafting new stuff for sieges instead of dumping them on the market.. i think yesterday it was 11 silvers for 100+ mithril, thats close to two arrowcarts.

I cant remember now but i belive it was 500 Badges for the Legendary item which sells for 51 silver, so saving up and dumping Badges there aint really the best way either to grab coins for upgrading keeps.

Good idea commander, sir.

This is a really good idea, hope it gets implemented

I belive the wvw developement team needs ideas.. so here it is. Now jump on it Anet!

I love the concept, disagree with your suggested implementation though. I’m hoping they add at least 1 new crafting discipline in the first expansion though, and this would be a great idea for one.

Also, I really hope they make siege weapons account-bound. Having to set aside 6 inventory slots on each of my 8 characters is a lot more annoying than simply being able to stack them all together in 6 storage spaces.
