Guild Wars 2

I would really appreciate a response from someone from Anet in particular.

I realize it’s a bug, and not meant to be occuring this way, but is it considered an exploit if someone who has already gotten 10 laurels from PvE monthly to now do the PvP Monthly?

A clear statement would help a lot of people decide if they should or should not do this.

Thanks in advance for your response.

So if we do the pve monthly we cant do the pvp one?
If thats the case we cant do the pvp daily either.

Wheres the bug?
If the achievements are there for everyone to do why is it a exploit?

I finished my pvp monthly a couple hours ago and I had already finished my pve monthly……..no extra laurels…just the 10…which ever u finish 1st will net u the laurels…not both…at least anymore

they fixed it on the patch ?

Hopefully for us suckers who finish it the day the new monthly pops ;_;

No it isn’t cause I did the PvP monthly last night and got +10 laurels, so cause it involves me its not exploiting…lol

Also, its actually a good incentive to get some people to try PvP out who normally would never even play it, quite enjoyed myself getting the PvP monthly last night…

Plus, my internet exchange went down for a week a couple of weeks ago so I lost out on 7 laurels then, so the +10 now is just the balance of life restoring itself in my favour…

I always do monthy on first day , as i can see i lose always lol… im geting mad here now.

It’s not an exploit, but the current situation gives people who complete the achievements early a disadvantage when it comes to Laurels.

I received a response from support saying they were aware of the issue and they were thinking about how to fix it, but it sounded somewhat generic to me.

I hope they manage to either just give everyone the +10 laurels in some way or remove the 10 additional laurels from people who got them (I think solution 1 will result in far less complaints)

Yeah i also got angry that i couldn’t get those 10 extra laurels just because i support spvp since the beginning and had that monthly done (and the pve one) before the patch , and even if it was an error it leaves the rest that didn’t had the opportunity to get more laurels in a bitter situation…i also contacted support for giving me this but they say they can’t and pointed me to make a suggestion about it in forums…lawl…

This bug is actually getting to me. SPvP is the only part of the content in GW2 that I don’t like and don’t want to do. I’ve done all the monthlies and dailies that gave laurels, I even caught one of the bonus patch-day laurels, but I refuse to do the SPvP monthlies even for 10 laurels.

I would like it if either everyone got 10 laurels who didn’t get them or 10 laurels were subtracted from those who did. I’d prefer the second, but both are fine.

IMO people who got 10+10 laurels this month probably won’t get any laurel next month.

This, agreed.

Had you already finished your pve monthly? Reason I ask is as I noted earlier in the thread….I finished mine as well and did NOT get 10 extra.

So, to clarify….with the new patch, they introduced the ability to earn 10 laurels from completing EITHER PvE or PvP monthly goals. So, in April, whichever you complete first will earn you 10 laurels. If, after that, you complete the other, you WON’T get an additional 10 laurels.

However, anyone who HAD done the PvE monthly prior to the update can now go and do the PvP monthly and get 10 laurels from that, netting them 20 in total for the month of March.

This ONLY works if you’d done Monthly PvE and not Monthly PvP prior to the update. You aren’t supposed to get it for both, just the first you do, according to the patch notes.

So, that’s why it seems like it’s an exploit, and why I’m hopeful to get a clear answer from Anet on the issue.

I’d love another 10 laurels, but I won’t do it if they say it’s an exploit.

Arghh…

I have done that.

I am a pve player and had my monthly done early in March. My son is an avid pvp player and convinced me to try out pvp with my mesmer after the patch. Groaningly I did that and wamm! After only a few hours I got another 10 laurels. They can have them back but it was not an exploit. Honestly I did not even know that there is such a thing as a pvp monthly because yesterday I did my very first pvp match and my very first pvp kill in my gaming history.

But something good came out of it. To my utter surprise I discovered that pvp in GW2 is actually fun! I play mmorpg for 10+ years and never I encountered a game where I liked pvp. I am all euphoric about it.

I can understand the rage of people who did both monthlies but in the wrong order. I hope ArenaNet gives them 10 laurels extra. Taking away 10 laurels may be difficult because people may have used them already. My 10 extra laurels for example are now a utility infusion in an ascended amulet…

I wouldn’t consider it an exploit. The PvP rewards are already lackluster as it is. Also Anet did say they’d implement other ways to get laurels and why not cater to both the PvE and PvP crowd? I mean there are players in this game that enjoy both sets of content, a lot of you see things in black and white terms. Oh you must only enjoy PvE or PvP and you should only be rewarded for one aspect of them. They can have the laurels back if it’s that much of an issue. But it gives those versatile players a little something extra for the extra work they’re putting in. To save all the drama and fuss just don’t put laurels in sPvP next time. The 5 PvP salvage kits are just fine..

Its pretty hard to make a big code error by add_item 10 laurels for pvp completion.
OR
add_item 1 Twlight for PvE completion.

It requires it to be fully typed out and if someone fully typed it out it was intended.

Doing the pvp monthly so you can get the extra laurels is not exploiting. You’re doing a legitimate event/achievement where only the reward is glitched. This isn’t the same as the exploit players used many months ago to convert karma to gold or exploiting a dungeon.

I feel like a terrible exploiter getting 10 laurels from both monthly pvp and monthly pve

If history repeats:

You will get no official reply.
Only the most severe offenders will get perma banned suddenly, 16 days later.
:P

I already got and spent the 10 bonus laurels. So I think it would be pretty involved and not worth anets time take back laurels that aren’t there anymore. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Also, giving 10 laurels to the entire community would be excessive as only a small amount are in the “I would have if I could” group. Most ppl are unaware or don’t care/do monthlies.

not the entire community just those that did the two monthlies prior the update or even at least those that open a ticket for it…

10 laurels to support a part of game that devs have implemented global profession nerfs for? No thanks.

I can be bribed for 10000G though.
