Guild Wars 2

I remember a Dev post in one of the topics saying that a lot of the nerfs that were happening weren’t being done intentionally but they were being done because a lot of people were complaining that most events were to easy and wanted harder events with better rewards, and it seems like a lot of the events have gotten beefed up and fractals keeps getting fixed and beefed up but you all seem to forget about the rewards and we seem to do a lot of events that are scaled and harder for the same rewards, is the reward system being worked on at all and if so is there any eta on it?

That dev would be Colin.

He said he would outline those plans on the July blog post, so wait until that.

That means the reward revamp could happen anywhere in Q3/Q4

My recommendation is that you don’t get your hopes up to high for the “revamp.”

History suggests that rewards are still going to be very skimpy. I would expect something like the WvW rewards chests, every so often (say 100, 500, or 1000 achievement points) you will receive a chest that will contain some gold and at least 1 piece of vendor tra… er… masterwork gear.

I don’t think they are going to start handing out laurels like candy, or even like $100 bills.

Since they are based in Bellevue, the fall into “VALVe Time’s” jurisdiction.

Soon™.

The WvWvW rank rewards just suck, I mean ya, free siege and a few extra badges, but greens everytime, that’s a joke, what ever happened to “a chance at a precursor” more like chance in hell, would like a better rewards there.

And getting my hopes up is all I have, hopes and dreams, even though they seem meaningless for me, a hardcore gamer stuck in a casuals paradise.

You’ll just have to wait till July, when they’re supposed to give us articles/blog posts about their plans for the second half of the year.

I’m with Rama, all I ever get from the rank chests is badges, a siege of some kind (though I did once get a superior ballista), and a green. I don’t think I’ve ever got any rare, exos, and definitely no precursors. Also, all I was getting from char lvl 8 to 20/25 was 3 badges and about 3-8s. That was fun wasting 5-8 rank chests.

They’ve pretty much stopped giving ETAs, unless it’s practically done and ready for the next deployment. Due to so many rude, obnoxious people when they don’t meet a deadline [something that happens in business commonly], at most all they tell us know is ‘When it’s ready’

Its not that they’ve stopped, cause its always been their philosophy to not give actual dates, and they only talk about stuff when its really near completion. Its also always been ‘When it’s ready™’

Every month that passes with out them adding the Laurels for AP system they talked about makes it less and less likely it will ever happen. They hate the prospect of giving you new rewards with established, hoarded currency. Apparently the effort and time you spent in the past shouldn’t ever be rewarded in the future, even when they’ve said that they will reward you later for what you do in the meantime.

Sort of like the boss who hints at big holiday bonuses if everyone works hard, only to have a lot of hard work rewarded with a smaller than usual holiday bonus.
