Guild Wars 2

This should now give 1 spirit (shard) on account for day. It is now junk only good for make charge crystal. Some player earn this during living story and now almost worth nothing to have.

edit: kitten filter so I use ().

I haven’t tested it, but how is the Hero Challenge version any different from the Skill Point version?

I suppose you can’t spend a Hero Point on something if you’ve already bought everything, but it’s not like one skill point per character (not per day, per character) was super valuable before.

It is most worthless thing to have in home instance. To easy to charge crystal from other places in world. I just suggest it to do something more to make it have more value. 1 spirit shard a day seem like a nice idea. Some people complain about getting spirit shard. So this would make it nice and have more value.

The people who complain about spirit shards are not happy with the 3 they get each day from daily so I doubt an extra 1 from this would make them any happier….

So it is bad idea to make krait obelisk shard give 1 (shard) on account a day so it is better than just charging crystal?

I don’t think it’s a good idea or a bad idea, really.

The trouble is, it doesn’t really incentivize or reward any particular behavior. The people who have a Krait Shard earned it a long time ago, so they don’t need to be encouraged to get it. If the reward is improved to make it more attractive, people who want it now can no longer get it.

If spirit shards are too hard to get, this can’t be relied upon to fix the problem, because it only helps for players who played a release two years ago.

It doesn’t break anything, but it doesn’t fix any real need, either.

Personally I would find more use out of charging crystals than getting that 1 extra shard. So I think it’s perfectly fine the way it is.

I was just saying that extra 1 shard wont make much of a difference to anyone. I think most people who complain about the shard change were more so complaining that there is no reward anymore for each level up beyond 80 and I tend to agree with them.

Player can buy from laurel vendor like other home instance things. In fact when a player buy it cost 25 laurel and 15 gold. So they buy it and all it do is charge crystal. That is why I say 1 spirit shard a day and charge crystal give it more value. Who want to spend that much just to charge crystal when it is easy to do in world map.

It is just a suggestion to make something worth not much better. I think most player like things that are better.

Oh, I didn’t realize it was one of the vendor items. I stand corrected.

Although, I’m still not sure that really fixes anything. Does it need more value?

I mean, it could use more value, but after a couple of years of the same, it seems a little odd to change it, when they could introduce a new reward item that does what you’re asking. That might be a good reward to build up to HoT with.

I’m pretty sure new alts can still get a hero point off it so it pretty much does what it always has done.

• Spirit shards aren’t meant to be trivial to obtain.
• The point of the obelisk has always been to make it easy to charge quartz; the hero point was just a bonus (because that’s how it the other ‘commune’ challenges work).
