So, now not only do we need Badges of Honor from WvW for a Legendary, but we also have to have a certain WvW rank for it? Why not just add PvP Rank in there too?

I get some people like WvW, but there is NOTHING fun about it in my eyes. I refused to care about Legendaries initially because of the need of Badges of Honor, but the achievement chest made that easier. Luckily I got my Gift of Battle long before this change, but now we’re dragging people into content they don’t want to be a part of even more than before.

EDIT1: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Gift-of-Battle-rank-requirement-update
EDIT2: By no means am I saying it is fair that WvW only players have to do PvE content for a legendary. But I’m not a WvW player, I don’t know what goes into it, and I am the WORST person to advocate anything for WvW players. So, those WvW players who think it’s unfair, give it a whirl. Come up with an alternative. I can’t, and I haven’t looked for one, because again, I don’t care about WvW. I’d rather have either three MF recipes to get the legendary (one requiring only PvE, one only WvW, one only PvP), or have separate legendaries of each weapon type for each (we already have 3 Greatswords, might as well?)
EDIT3: I wouldn’t be as bothered with WvW requirements for a Legendary if they also added PvP requirements. I’m all for the whole “legendary means you’ve been adequate in all aspects of the game” theory IF it touches all aspects. They probably won’t, because that would require giving PvP Legendary skins and I don’t know why they haven’t done it yet.
Idea: When you craft a legendary, instead of getting the item, get a “[Insert Legendary Name] Chest” that has the Legendary item itself, and the PvP Skin. That way the Mystic Forge still only spits out one item.
EDIT4: As for “buying” WvW rank, you’re asking the PvE players to spend the BoH from chest and their Laurels on rank. Okay, fine. 60 Laurels (aka 40 days of dailies and 2 monthlies) and 1500 Badges of Honor later, do I even have the 500 Badges I need? Maybe, maybe not. Don’t make assumptions.

You now need Rank 30 in WvW to buy the Gift of Battle.

How are WvW players forced into PvE? And the game does address PvE and PvP players. That’s why PvP is different altogether.

In order to make a Legendary, you need a Gift of Mastery. In order to get the Gift of Mastery, you need the Gift of Battle. In order to get the Gift of Battle, you need 500 Badges of Honor. And now, on top of that, you need 30 WvW Rank. I didn’t want to step into WvW to begin with. Why not just add an item component that requires you to have Dolyak rank in PvP and use Glory to get it too?

The idea behind a Legendary weapon is that it is supposed to be somewhat completionist. With the introduction of achievement chests, 500 badges of honor is easy to get without getting into WvW, and WvW is a big part of the game.

It’s supposed to be a ‘show-off’ that you’ve played most of the core content, and played long enough to be ‘worthy’ of a Legendary.

If you want to craft a legendary weapon as a WvW player, you are forced to PvE. You need gift of exploration(which includes much more PvE maps than WvW), dungeon tokens etc. So the new WvW rank requirement is good since badge of honor now drops from achievement chests without even entering WvW.

Also don’t forget that majority of achievements and living stories are for PvE and forces players to do PvE.
Spread of available achievements must be balanced between PvE and PvP zones, PvE-only players get more achievements than WvW-only or SPvP-only players.

Yeah Dalent, Idk what you are thinking. The legendary requires a lot of PVE that many people don’t want to do. All they did was increase the WvW requirement a small amount. It was so easy to get Gifts of Battle before and this is no harder.They need to draw the line somewhere, not everyone can be happy. I have my legendary and I have rank 30 on all my characters, and even if I didn’t I would just use whatever requirement they place on the legendary as a new goal

Yeah, or you know, use a credit card and just buy one.

I’m pretty annoyed you now require rank 30 because i was going to make Moot in a couple of days, i have everything except the obsidian shards thanks to the overnerf of karma months back (which was also the block of my previous legendary). The fact i’m being punished because i didn’t buy the gift of battle yesterday with my tokens is very aggravating because i do not enjoy WvW at all, it’s just a zerg fest of giant groups spamming AoE on another giant group, and giant groups just whailing their weapons against doors. There’s nothing even really to it unless you’re the commander. It’s just lame.

And again, PvP is still left out of the equation. I agree Badges should have never been added to the chest. But I don’t think the requiring of Rank is a good solution

Well to really be fair, they should take away all the legendries made by players who where not level 30 when they made them, refund their materials and make them do it all over again.
Seriously? If they are going to force that on players now, then they should make it so you have to be level 30 before you can even equip them. If you already have a legendary then it cannot be used again until you are WvW level 30 or more. Fair is fair, why should some players be forced to have a requirement that others do not?

Honestly, rank 30 doesn’t take too long to get. I’m sitting at rank 90 and I do not play WvW often. The most I have ever played it was during season one for achieves (and when you know what your doing, it can be quite fun). And I like how making a legendary requires a player to tap into (almost) all aspects of the game. Its a legendary for goodness sake. I only wish there was some sort of PvP aspect to making one. That’ll be the day.

I see worst force wvw players to run a lot of instances and do a lot of pve for map completion to get the legendary. A little of wvw dont gonna hurt you. The game is full of FORCED pve.

Question about this: from what I understand of WvW, isn’t there more of a danger of ruining the spirit of WvW by “forcing” uninterested players to participate than there is in PvE?

What I mean by this is, if WvW players hate regular PvE content, but slowly trudge through it to get their Legendary, it isn’t ruining the PvE experience of other players. Those folks can blaze through vistas and hearts and other PvE activities needed for completion without being held back by the WvW folks who perhaps are grudgingly completing the content.

But, in WvW, there is a limit to folks who can enter the map, you have to queue, servers are competing against each other, etc. Seems to me that the balance will be upset if the areas get filled up with “regular” PvE’ers that are doing it just to get their rank, but have no interest in learning the ins and outs of WvW. Won’t that negatively impact the epic battles and strategy of WvW for those who do enjoy it?

I don’t play WvW, and I doubt I’ll ever have a Legendary, so this is really more a question posed out of curiosity. Maybe the “fairness” of having more requirements for a Legendary in WvW actually messes too much with the experience of why most people actually participate?

Seems to me that adding badges to the chests was a way for folks to get their Legendaries via a slower path, without interfering with the experience for the people who actually cared about WvW, while real completionists could get their Legendary faster by actively participating in all aspects of the game, including WvW. Now that might be disrupted by folks joining just to get to rank 30.

WvW straddles the line between PvE and PvP. I think a better solution would be to have Legendaries be crafted by a certain number of Gifts, but require at least one less than all of them so folks aren’t forced to do something they truly aren’t interested in. Have a PvE one, a PvP one, a WvW one, a crafting one, and a “collect lots of stuff one,” but require only 3/5 or 4/5 to make the Legendary.

Even better, have an alternate version where you could create a Legendary with 5 “lesser” gifts, which all have slightly less requirements to create, but reward folks who explore all areas of the game but don’t master every one.

You can turn your BoH into +1 WXP level and not touch actual WvW

50 BoH + 2 Laurals = 1 WXP level.

Not to mention you are going to get some WXP levels getting map completion. If you want an item that represents game completion I don’t see a problem with actually having to do the entire game.

The content is easy as pie, and so is getting to rank 30.

To get the golem parts, just go below the center island. Your side will have a zerg. Stay with them, and once they get close to the center island, just go under it, grab the piece and done!
All you have to do in WvW.

And to get rank 30? Literally just do this. Grab a long ranged rifle, and follow the zerg and just… shooting everything. It’s not rocket science. Shoot everything. Stand in capture zones. Badda boom badda bing.

I do agree that it makes more sense that they added a rank requirement to it, given that a legendary was supposed to be somewhat a completionist item, and that you were supposed to have “mastered” all content.

However, what I dislike is the lack of communication of this by ArenaNet. There was no forewarning of this at all, and I believe players should be entitled to an important change to an item such as this.

ANet wants WvW-only players to PvE. They want PvE-only players to WvW. They don’t force anyone to do either, but they tie the biggest carrot (arguably the only carrot) in the game to “entice” the two groups to inter-mingle. The result is:

The plus side is someone trying the game mode they despise and liking it — ANet wins. The minus side is someone chooses not to pursue the carrot. This means the biggest pursuit in the game is no longer on their radar. This might mean nothing, or they might leave the game sooner — ANet loses.

The whole thing is a gamble on ANet’s part that the plus players will outweigh the minus players. If, as a developer, you have a passion for both aspects of the game, the gamble makes sense. Humans tend to predict others’ reactions based on their own. If, as a player, the gamble alienates you, the gamble doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, force me in to WvW and I may start trying to “play the way I want”.
I think I may want to walk golems off the cliff just to see if they can fly, or maybe see how much supplies I can use by building siege equipment as far behind friendly lines as possible (keeps them safe that way). The ways I can “play the way I want” seem almost endless. ;-)

You are my new hero ShiningSquirrel. Doubly so for your sig. And I thought I was “gaming the game” by doing World Completion with no armour i.e. no repair costs.

The worst I’ve ever done was when I’d had enough of “cry moar carebear!” posts and I got a bunch of people to roleplay in the WvW maps. I’m sorry, did that increase their queue times? Totally unintentional. Good luck on them trying to thought police that with /report.

Your ideas have far more class, ShiningSquirrel, well done.

I still miss 1990s FMV. Wing Commander 3-4. I’d prefer CYOA interactive movies any day.

As has been mentioned

“30 WvW Ranks is peanuts”
“50 BoH + 2 Laurals = 1 WXP level”
“Small potatoes compared to World completion.”

All are pretty valid.

If you really despise wvw then just PvE more and buy the ranks you need, hell I’m mostly wvw and i’m tripping over laurels most of the time so it’s not even that difficult a task.

No-one is forced to wvw for a legendary but if you decide to go there to get what you need, you’ll do it very rapidly. Unlike that world completion, never doing that again….

Is this yet another “Oh no I have to get into that scary place where people are trying to kill me. let me get back to my pve where monsters chase me for 2 centimeters” kinda post.

Bad call, ANet. This is the wrong way to encourage participation. My dislike of WvW has reached an all new high.
