Guild Wars 2

Please revise the loot table for wvw badges of honor. In 600 kills I have 131 badges – thats a pathetic 21% drop rate. WVW is already a time sink, a silver sink (repairs), and is full of bugs that make thieves near invulnerable. It would be nice to actually be rewarded for playing your “end game” concept. I really don’t see much inventive to play wvw at this point due to rendering issues, thieves invisibility, poor loot. Can you at least improve the drop rate for badges please?

I agree with this as i have 823 kills but only 174 BoH and i know at least 50 of those are from the wvw JP’s.

Reading these posts makes me not even want to begin getting these for my legendary. -.-

Just do the jumping puzzles, it’s not a ton of badges but it’s far better than the drop rate, as long as you can finish the JP without some….person camping it hoping for easy kills.

As much as I hate PvP it almost makes me want to get decent so I can whack them instead. Almost.

Totally agree, a guildie was just complaining about badge drop rate yesterday and l concur.
A couple of other points:
1. Remove armor repairs from Wvw
2. Do not allow use of ascended items in Wvw.
Incentive to play is currently lacking for these reasons. On outnumbered servers given server imbalance, people give up and won’t participate when they are going to be repeatedly zerged by overgeared players.

Bring back Gw1’s unique features that kept us playing for years instead of copying game models based on gear progression.

ascended in WvW that much of a turn off? i use both a level 23 (normaly without armor) and a level 80 equipt with ascended infused everything… both surviverbiltys are the same depending on the situation… ascended v any large group isnt that much of anything and compleatly an unviable reason to not play against…

Sure one player in ascended gear against a zerg is toast. lol
The problem I mentioned is the other way round though. Not sure if you are such yet players who did not play Gw1 are conditioned to Mmo’s with gear progression and have difficulty undestanding why we played Gw1 for years without it.

If they remove armor repairs than they have to remove making money in wvw. You may as well ask them to remove armor repairs in general.

I have a toon that i’ve leveled it up only by playing wvw. so i like playing but like it says terrible drop rate.

23.5% drop rate here with over 5.1k kills and 1.2k badges. I have done all the WvW jps 5 times (3 eb, 2 borderlands). I say the drop rate is pretty decent. If you can’t kill people, do jps. I’m not a thief either, I main a ranger.

They used to be more plentiful right after launch, now days jp is the best way.. sadly..

Badge of jumping, tis not very fun to do every day, ya’ know like it would be actually participating in PvP for those badges.

Why should I be inconvenienced because you can’t be bothered to do Fractals of the Mist?

On the other hand, why should I be punished for not wanting to do Fractals?

Any stat advantage no matter how small is, well, an advantage, and I seem to recall a lot of talk about how they didn’t want to force people to do just one thing to keep up with everyone else, whether it be for stats or money, and yet Fractals seems to go against that in a lot of ways. People say “well it’s just a couple percent”. That doesn’t take into account the rest of the Ascended stuff that isn’t out yet, what’ll the difference be then? Eight percent? Ten?

Now the way I see it there will be people on both sides wearing it so it’ll basically even out, so I don’t care if people wear it in WvW. The problem is that you have to do Fractals to get it and some of us don’t like that (This is something they are allegedly working on correcting, but no word on when that’ll actually happen).

The repair costs are one of the reasons I don’t bother with WvW generally. First because every venture into WvW has left me with a bigger repair bill than what I made while there, and second because I don’t like the idea of breaking other peoples stuff and costing them money. Sorry, just the way I am.

YES!! 100%. We never paid for armor repairs in GW1. It survives still well enough
