Guild Wars 2

Throw some of these babies into my achievement chests like all the Badges of Honor. Better yet, let me exchange my Badges of Honor for any dungeon token (on some conversion rate, 1:1:, 2:1, whatever, doesn’t matter).

I honestly hate Arah — that dungeon is a pill, finding a team is a pill, the whole experience blows. I enjoy WvW the best, let me do a conversion or something.

You can buy Arah tokens! ^.^

But yeah I can see where your logic comes from, but I hate the idea xD.

I think anet likely regrets placing badges in the AP chests, given their recent change to the gift of battle. So I’m not sure they would be keen on it.

That would defeat the purpose of said items. Those items show that you have done the required work.

This^^

I had to do dungeons over and over to get the armor skins I wanted. Not to mention you would be able to buy gifts. That would make so many people QQ.

Yep, absolutely that’s my objective. Badges of Honor rain down like water if you complete achievements (not even that many to get 1000+ badges). Yet I have to toil through a garbage dungeon (obviously my opinion on Arah) to grind out my 500. I’d feel different if it was actually fun (again, another flagrant opinion).

I’m up to 200 now, and yes I’ll finish before any sniff of a change comes my way.

However let me pop back to the WvW connection again. So you don’t have to engage in WvW to get the badges… that’s nice (honestly). Let’s have the same option for dungeon tokens. You can also trade laurels for WvW rank — again you don’t need to do any WvW to complete that goal.

I don’t approve of the dichotomy that is Badges of Honor vs. Dungeon tokens.

OP has a valid point. IMHO the problem originates with a poorly thought out “exotic” weapon/armour tree that every tweak to is going to h onk someone or other off.

Just coz you are in a guild who run dungeons doesn’t make you LEET.

There’s nothing 1337 about zerg farming champions.

Achievements are supposedly the way that the game recognises progression.. so why only WvW badges in reward chests?

A conversion to dungeon tokens actually makes a lot of sense. Sure some people would QQ coz they grinded out tokens but hey, I ground out charged lodestones and 500 Tears for Aether and it isn’t even a legendary, ascended or anything else.

For players who don’t dungeon run, an exchange rate with badges would be a good option.

ROFL… you want a conversion tokens system because BoH rain from achievement chest. If BoH was not given in the achievements chest , what would you do ?? If you can’t do Arah its because you don’t like dungeons … if you don’t like dungeons your probably don’t do WvW either … so rub your hands and start to work for real instead of spamming skill #1 in killing stuff with very bad AI and crying to have every fancy skin for free. Do you want map completion removed from WvW lol ??

That isn’t a problem with the dungeon tokens not being available, it’s a problem with the Badges of Achievements actually being given in achievement chests. Remove BOH for equality, not add dungeon tokens.

As for Arah tokens, you can buy paths. There are plenty of sellers who want to run paths multiple time a day and seek rewards for doing so. But please, please only buy from a legitimate player, look for the “quest” icon at Lupicus and if it’s still there, report the host and leave the party.

First of all, I got my dungeon master title with good old honest work. So I didnt buy the paths and done them in organised groups several times (including a big fail guildgroup where we ended up way to drunk and only laughed for hours in a row and ended up totally naked cause we where totally wasted). I repeated all dungeons paths (succesfully) atleast 3 times.

Having said that, there is nothing wrong with buying a path in arah. I wanted the armor and bought the paths. I know I can do them, but it takes time and is boring, so I had nothing to prove for myself.

As said, it is not allowed to do a dungeon and skip lupicus. so check if they did him the legit way or else report.

As for your suggestion, my answer is no. Tokens should be separated. It is bad enough to see so many people look at my armor and thinking, he can’t do Arah and only ‘bought’ it. I’m ok with it, cause it is their silly opinion. but making one token transferable into another would ruin a lot (let alone the requirements for legendary’s)

Also, Arah is a lot of fun. you might want to go to the dungeons section or the players helping players section to find a group to do Arah.

What is the difference between buying Tokens (a path) with Gold and buying them with other “tokens”? Keep in mind that since they are available for gold, they don’t represent anything in particular. Reason being is that gold is made in all aspects of the game.

You really have no clue about my behaviors in game other than my distaste for Arah (and only because I posted it above). I could be like some other forum kittens and report your post as offensive, but I’m rather thick skinned.

I have WvW badges coming out my ears (and not from achievement chest rewards). WvW is actually the most enjoyable part of the game to me. I spend little time in PvE.

I was quite disappointed to see BoH drop like rain from the achievement chests. However what’s done is done. The dichotomy exists… it should be fixed. Since you can’t take badges away, then open up alternate methods to manage my currency.

Achievement chests are likely not the best source, but a random drop of dungeon tokens in a WvW rank-up chest? Or in WvW loot bags? Why not?

Having dungeon tokens drop outside of anything but a dungeon doesn’t make sens to me.

they also cant make Dungeon Tokens to easy to get cause it would screw up some of the economy. You can buy Exos with tokens that can be salvaged for High end Mats.

What I would like to see is a bigger Token reward at the end of the Dungeon Depending on difficulty.

like the gold reward; AC=1.5 , CoF =1 Arah =3
AC could get 90 , CoF the normal 60 , and Arah 120Tokens or something.

In my opinion suggestions like these are detrimental to the game. Essentially youve just told us that you hate A and like B, so want A’s rewards from B. Well I could say that I hate world completion (a bit of a lie but anyway…) and ask ANET to make the Gift of Adventure available as a random drop in the daily chest because I enjoy doing dailies.

If you want a reward based on completing a task then you should have to do said task and earn the reward. The only exception would be turning certain tokens into gold but by and large we can do that with most if not all of the tokens in the game. This is coming from someone who has a shed-load of WvW tokens with little to do with them…. I just think that this game is easy enough without making it any easier.

Support.

I hate dungeons – if it isn’t for the fact you are forced to group up with other players (unlike in GW1 where you could do it with heroes or get runs for any dungeon), it’s the fact that despite the motto from day 1 of ‘playing how you want’, well, I can’t play how I want because I want dungeon tokens, but hate doing dungeons.

There should be a way of obtaining dungeon tokens via monsters near/outside the dungeon or whatever (on a much smaller scale/chance of course), or a way to convert other currencies for tokens, but also on a lesser scale than if you were to obtain the tokens from the dungeons themselves – that way dungeons remain the fastest way of obtaining them, but if you want to ‘play how you want’, you can, just using a method and at a slower pace.
