Guild Wars 2

So I’m pretty sure I remember reading that we would be able to get laurels for different achievements as well. What ever happened to this plan?

It was never said specifically laurels, but rewards for different achievements. They are still working on it; maybe more information on the new blog post coming (supposedly) early this month.

edit: Here is the actual quote:

’Laurels are only earned through daily and monthly achievements (starting with the feb monthly) and will not reward for previous daily/monthly achievements completed since folks didn’t know this system was coming.

We will however introduce an expanded/new reward system in the future that will reward for other types of achievements, this system will reward previous achievement points earned. (But may require bringing back into line some infinitely repeatable achievements that would bloat/break this system)’

ANet is really good (or bad depending on your point of view) of making vague statements that everyone interprets one way, but actually doesn’t mean that at all.

This statement is a perfect example. At the time everyone assumed that you would get laurels for achievement points, but they never said anything of the sort. Currently I believe (without basis) you will get a “reward chest” every 1000 achievement points.

Edit: FWIW, I don’t think it’s good that they do this at all. It mollifies people at the time only to disappoint them later.
