badges of honor or jumping?
Putting the badges to event rewards would be a great improvement of WvW. Right now jumping puzzles are the best way simply because they are a lot faster. Also 1 guaranteed badge for killing supply dolyak or sentry wouldn’t destroy WvW but make it a lot better for people that just want the badges.
Yeah I still can’t understand why JP chests give badges of Honor.
I mean you don’t even have to do the JP, just get a mesmer to port you up.
Dear Anet, please remove badges from JP chests.
I concur with this. JP badges are a huge mistake.
In PVE, in jumping puzzles, played only on the first two cards, then it is just sick of it! Spoiled nerves and poor sleep – that’s the reward for these puzzles! Better if it is a dynamic and Hearts were given, where the real game!
I agree with your point, not with your englihs
Atm the jp’s are by far the most effective way of obtaining badges. I cringe at the thought of obtaining any significant amount of badges w/o the jp’s.
Imo, they should reward more badges when you kill someone. Now, if I kill player or NPC I usually get “2 claws”… WTH?! I want to get rewarded for playing WvW and not with “claws” or other rubbish.
While jp’s are thre most effective way to get them, defending towers, keeps, and taking supply camps reward a lot of badges. I can still get 30-40 badges per day with casual play.

Sorry, I’m writing a Google search translator.

You cringe at the thought of actually playing WvW, the best feature of this game?

Correct, but you should be rewarded for this and kills. The current reward system is way out of wack. Why would you reward more for doing a jumping puzzle then playing WVW and helping take over and defending bases, killing other teams members.
If you want to reward for jumping puzzles, give them something else.

No..I cringe at the thought of obtaining badges solely via kills as the drop rate of them is…well rather poor. If the rate were increased I would be happy with having them soley linked to kills.
True, apart from the occasional skirmish there’s no way at all to get badges. I got like 150 badges without doing any JPs, but doing WvW once a week, since August.
thanks to the JP chest, i was able to get my Gift of Battle for Bifrost this morning. Zerging and taking forts was not yielding badges for me, so it got tedious and boring quick running around the map looking for fights and repairing damaged armor. Jump Puzzle in Eternal Battlegrounds is more consistent (due to puzzle traps and paths), and do not require me to combat other players (if uncontested), which i do not like doing.
i have to admit i did get a single Badge of Honor…after zerging for 3 hours, and then boringly sat up on a wall to fire the wall cannons for an additional 2 hours. 5 hours for a Badge? that is not fun for me.
thanks to all the mesmers who ported me, also. you players ROCK!

from doing the 4 Jp’s make bout 30 badges, go kill some invaders, capture supply camps/towers, supivisors of supply camps and tower/keep lords sometimes drop 1 or 2 badges, make some karma, and some silver, also help your server out, can make 100+ badges a day if u put some effort in and not expect everything to be handed to you, hope anet dont even read this post, they listened to to many things like this, hit Lvl 80 an bang got full exotic in no time. Most things are to easy,

I’ve played WvW for hours and hours before and I only got 2 badges the entire time and I killed a bunch of people and defending and took towers. The drop rate is way to low. The issue isn’t the jumping puzzle, its everything else.
To be honest it is perfectly fair to make legendaries require badges of honor. They are called LEGENDARIES! I could argue that because I don’t like any part of the game except world vs world pvp that the legendaries should be available to me from anything I can do from the world vs world map.
You need what, 500 badges. so like 1 month of wvw including jumping puzzles, killing dolyaks, killing players/guards. I do constant wvw pvp and consistantly get 20-50 badges per day including the three non-EB puzzles.
