Guild Wars 2

So recently we had the PvP Daily/Monthly achievements added into the game. I feel they were a terrific addition, but what about a WvW Daily/Monthly?

It would encourage people to get more engaged in WvW on a much larger scale.
It creates incentives to participate more than just once a week or casually.

Rewards could simply be silver/karma/badges/siege for daily, and for monthly, the same but maybe even throw in a unique appearance exotic piece of gear? Or just silver/karma/badges/siege.

Why is this not even in the game yet?

This thread was up before that one, but thanks anyway for the link!

Why make a separate WvW monthly? Just add WvW achievements to the PvP stuff since WvW is PvP anyway .

not exactly, PvP is more about teamwork and personal skill, wheras WvW is more about strategy and co-ordination.

some glory seeking moron who attacks a keep alone before the rest of the zerg is there just gave away the zergs plan, wheras in PvP, going alone could capture or keep a node.

the thing is, the WvW kills in the general/PvE monthly just reeks of attempting to get more people into WvW, the PvE’ers don’t want to be there for any longer that it takes to get their kills, and the WvW ers don’t want them there because having people who don’t want to play along and are only in it for themselves is useless to the team and is actually counterproductive.

adding a monthly for WvW and removing it from the PvE monthly means that WvWers will be better rewarded, PvE’ers won’t be forced into doing something they don’t want to do and is completely irrelevant from the rest of their playstyle, and the PvE’s that DO want to get into WvW get a “carrot” in that doing the monthly will aid their team and they get rewarded for it (as opposed to the “stick” of having some berk with 100 gold calling you a noob)

it also has the added bonus of having a better tutorial. which is better for teaching people? a small popup saying “kill the dolyak to deprive enemies of supplies for building stuff” or a pair of achievements to “kill/escort x dolyaks” and “use x supplies to build seige weapons/repair walls”
one is just an instruction, the other is an instruction that gives you rewards, and has a logical link between the two “ok, I escorted the dolyak, now I have supplies, so I can build this trebuchet that people are talking about, woo achievements!”

WvW is similar to PvP, but at the same time, worlds apart.
It really needs it’s own section, to encourage people wanting to complete the daily/monthly, to actually participate in the gameplay.
