Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

So, as I’ve been playing raids every week for weeks now, there’s still something I don’t understand : why are Lis limited to one/week/boss ?

Legendary insights are currently used to do a “check the experience and if someone is trustable” of a player ( I know that’s not what they have been designed for, and most of people fake it anyway ), so why is it necessary to wait one week to get a new one on a boss ? Even for legendary armors, I guess ArenaNet uses them to do a " time spent in raids and how involved a player is " and to, then, reward this player.

So why is our “time spent in raids and involvement” tool limited to one per week per boss ? I started raiding slowly a while ago, doing one VG every week only, then I started to do Gorseval, Sabetha, and I fell in love with this game mode and litteraly started killing bosses 10 times a week, just because I found it fun and I was enjoying it. I was putting a lot of efforts and time in it. But still, one VG = 10 VG, 1 Matthias = 10 Matthias, it doesn’t reflect at all the time you spent in the raid and the experience you have. Just as an exemple, if a guy has only done one Vale guardian every week since the first week of december, he has about 26 Lis, while if a guy has started raiding 1 month ago, has been really good and has taken down every 6 bosses we had so far ( that almost never happens ), trained hard, spent tons of hours, done bosses multiple times every week to progress faster, has put a lot of investment, found a miracle way to be taken in raids while not having a lot of Lis/no tonic, well that guy has 24 Lis.

I find it sad, some people would love to see even the loots reseted daily, I think they should make the loots reset daily but making ascended loots more rare, or cap them to 1 asc loot maximum/boss/week or something else. It would be really nice to have that update on Lis, and to get finally rewarded for the time we spend in raid, instead of getting rewarded for the fact we’ve played raids for a long time. I also think it could be nice to put a " daily raid " system, in the daily quests, like " Kill Gorseval, rewards : 15 magnetite shards, some karma", as we see that raids are really pug-able, it would motivate people doing raids everyday, as many people just clear the bosses monday in 2-3hours and then just stop raiding until the next monday. Raids are awesome and people putting a lot of effort in them every day should be rewarded, I don’t feel encouraged to do them more than once a week.

Because legendary armour requires them and they want it time gated. Nuff said?

There really is no reward currently to incentivize working with our helping others on content after you are shard and insight capped each week.

The issue is that existing rewards are balanced around the weekly reset. A change to a daily would change this to needing to be changed and would likely force players to raid every day in order to maintain the same rewards they get now on a weekly basis. Drop rates would likely be lowered as well. You can also be certain that insights and magnetite acquisition would be adjusted.

I would agree that the idea of daily quests/rewards (or additional weekly quests/rewards) for raids would be cool, but I don’t see why legendary insights would have anything to do with it. Legendary insights exist purely as a timegated legendary armor crafting material. As it happens the raiding community has assigned some value to them otherwise, but it seems silly to remove the timegate aspect of them – the entire reason they were created in the first place – so that pug groups can maybe possibly use them to judge people they’ve never met more accurately.

As far as other daily/weekly rewards for raids, it would be pretty nice. It’s true that there is little incentive to raid more than once a week other than the content itself. I would like to see weekly challenges or something that you could do in addition to the clear that were more difficult than the normal bosses. “Defeat the Vale Guardian with X:XX left on the clock”; “Defeat Matthias without being stunned during the downpour phase”; “Defeat the Keep Construct with only 3 burn phases”; etc.

That’s this “timegate” side of legendary inside that bothers me, they do not reflect the involvement of a player, but how many weeks he could do raids. Making Lis daily would reflect more the investment of a player. I don’t understand why a guy that does one Matthias in 7 days should be as rewarded as a guy who does it 3 times.
