This will get moved back to the WvW forum where it belongs.
@OP: As to your question, I’ll give you an answer. It will be in the “feature patch” which is a mystery to all with a delivery date that is closely guarded.

Even if it does get moved back, atleast we know it was seen by atleast 1 dev….
I don’t think Anet even has a WvW team anymore and if they do then they are coding all these living stories to be out on time
I mean seriously tho… Every 2 weeks all these massive living stories are pumped out with hot fixes throughout the day of release you would think a few things from the WvW side and PvP side could be fixed to better the game play a little bit….
Or is it time to say “TitanFall”
I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.
….. And Elementalist.
Well new update came out, reset all wvw rank points for each character, still not account bound. Looks like it wont be coming out for this season after all. Way to go.
If this was the big WvW patch before seasons, and no changes to WvW will be made before they end (except for throwing unwanted PvE mobs in there I guess), I think it’s safe to assume account bound WXP has been put on hold indefinitely.
Feature only patch, and account bound wxp apparently isn’t one of those features. Thanks, Anet. Some time before next year would be nice.
Edit: also, the ability point reset letter you sent us says it’s in preparation for the inaugural WvW season, talk about lazy, couldn’t even write us a new message.
Still no WXP across the account? i was positive it is going to happen today…
That’s exactly what Anet wanted you to think. They KNEW everyone was going to assume it would be in this build, but they knew that it wouldn’t be. That’s why we didn’t have any official responses. They wanted people to be calmed by the thought that it would make it into today’s patch.
Seriously, could any of the devs elaborate on that?
For the very first time since open beta I feel like I’ve been mocked up. For like 3 months or more I didn’t care which character I play (having 16 total), because I was convinced that they would implement account bound WXP eventually.
And since it took them so long, was promised to run live with EotM, but it wasn’t, I was almost sure that it is going to happen right before the season 2…
But what happened? They reset WXP points instead…
Oh bloody thank you, that’s exactly what I was looking for…
If there was something big, Anet would have talked about it for months before releasing it.
And since they gave us a point reset for the season, we probably aren’t going to get account WXP for at least 8 weeks (till season ends) because they will probably follow their “No major update to WvW during season” (it’s not like we got major updates every month out of season…)
Well this is… disappointing and I struggle to understand it. This would be the perfect time to introduce this feature and it is sooo needed. Certainly lowered my excitement for Season 2 drastically
“Poor people”? Yes this game is sub-free, but there are also so many other games that are sub-free.
Sub-free does not mean poor, it means that the game is supported by in-game purchases instead of a monthly fee.
To be honest I am surprised Blizzard havent done it to WoW, as in a way paying a monthly fee means players expect more from the game, not just content but some respect and acknowledgement; both of which are lacking in GW2 as the Living story is just temp content, and well the only acknowledgement I’ve got from the mods are infraction points and temp forum bans for demanding answers and explanations.
Some people can end up paying more per month to a sub-free game than a monthly fee game. With a monthly fee you know how much you will be spending each month. With this sub-free with payment system for in-game items it’s more like “Oh I like that, i’ll get it, Oh that too!” You can quickly lose track of how much you have spent when spending only a small amount.
LOL off-topic post.
Anyhows new patch no acc wxp…..
Macros, you can use them as long as they arent macros.
Remember to buy the officially endorsed GW2 Steel Series Keyboard, it supports macros!
WvW, we only care if it affects the servers we play on.

Yeah, I was so excited to be finally able to play all of my characters with the all WXP i earned and get them all buffs, masteries etc…
And now I am punished for putting my faith in Anet ability to keep their promise.
I lost a lot of faith in you, guys. Instead doing all of the bloody new PVE content that I don’t even have time to consume you could have done something useful for most of the WvW playerbase.
But wait… I forgot about your priorities, didn’t I?
Their PvP isn’t bad at all. It’s pretty fun once you figure out where to go and how to get there. Group PvP synergies are pretty awesome there as well.
I suggest you try it out. It’s one of the few things that should entice people to play ESO.
I mean it’s pretty obvious Anet doesn’t care about WvW with a non-release of the WvW account exp we’ve been waiting for in quite some time now. This game mode for Gw2 is pretty much dead.
sigh “Anet, Anet, Anet”. Can everyone PLEASE look down at the bottom the screen on the far left and read the FIRST name you come to? Yeah…see, NCSOFT is the company you need to be focusing your vitriol at since they are the ones dictating where their money is spent. Getting kittened off at Anet is about as effective as getting upset at the tech support guy at Verizon because of some decision the Board of directors of Verizon made.

Eh. Let’s hope on 25th before season starts account bound world xp… Regardless if they do account bound they would still reset the points no? Everyone use the power of positive thinking! 25th! 25th!
with the wvw account bounded, lets say i’am lvl 200 but
I have 200 to use PER character, so if i have 5 character, for all 5 i’am going to be able to use 200 points ?
Or i have 200 point in total to use across my 5 characters ? so i can only do like 40 points per characters ?
My main wvw char is level 685; wxp across all other chars equates to 123. These totals will be combined raising my level to 808 across all chars. This is my understanding of how the system will work.
Nope, Immagine it like a pool, all the wxp you made on your chars will be merged togheter, but don’t forget that the first 5 ranks are easier than the rest.
practically you will be between rank 770/790
So, if i have 200points to spend in total, that will not be 200 point per character, but 200points for all character ?
that’s just bad like hell and finaly do not change anything.
It would be smart to have the "200"points per character if you not only have “one” favorite class…
GW2 will still force us to grind grind grind grind grind the wvw lvl to get all the necessary vwv xp to get all the upgrade you want in wvv for each of them…
Especialy when there is only a very little minority that played that much that they are lvl 1k++ in mcm…
Anet only care about the little korean like grinder minority ?
great…

There are much more important stuff to do then making account wxp.
I have to disagree. The bugs I can live with, the lack of new content for the PPT part of WvW I can live with (although it would be nice if they added new vendors for ascended and stuff). I actually enjoy playing as it is.
But once they said accountbound WXP would be implemented, it allowed me to play my other toons in WvW. It made WvW a lot more fun and satisfying, and I was dead certain I could continue playing my alts at season 2. I still can ofc but they will be “underpowered” compared to what they would have been. If they were gonna take so long to implement this, then they should have waited with announcing it. Just my opinion.

Like making sure yaks walk in the middle of bridges, instead of on the rails! They did fix a few things, but they still have a loooooong way to go before everything is fixed. And this is something they told us about back in November, not to mention this is a feature that a lot of people are looking forward to. This being a “feature only patch” perhaps you can see why people are feeling let down and bitter about not getting it…

With all of this in mind, the system is receiving the following changes:
All earned World XP on an account will be put into a single pool.
The sum of those points will determine the world rank and World Ability Points available to each character on the account.
World Ability Points can be allocated differently on each character; you are not creating a single, account-based, version of your characters.

I`m pretty sure you get 200 points per character, as the point of all this is to make WvW more alt-friendly.. pooling WXP doesnt make any sense if you can still only spend each point once.
While account-bound World XP was originally intended to go live along with EotM, the highly anticipated change will not be making it into next week’s release. Carver said that ArenaNet is still working out some kinks with it and that the WvW team will have more information for players soon.]
Huh, did I miss that “more information”, or was it another lie?
(from the article linked above, which is dated Jan. 30th)
“soon” in terms of WvW means “Go on, plant a tree, build a house, get children.. and if they graduate from college you’ll get some information. Maybe.”
“in a timely manner”
“let you all know ahead of time”
“This change is going to make WvW a friendlier place for alts "
Alts are screwed for almost a year now (26th March 2013 – 18th March 2014)
They they in November 2013 acnowledged what players keep telling them from March, that WXP should be account bound.
