Guild Wars 2

i wonder what some of your would hate more: not getting WXP across your account or getting it and realizing a bug in the code caused you to only get about 2/3 of your actual WXP across your account? Seriously, this isn’t something that happens overnight and this isn’t the only thing they are working on coding and trying to implement into a LIVE environment. Seriously, this complaining about WXP across multiple threads is just getting sadder and sadder.

There are much more important stuff to do then making account wxp.

Like changing the WvW team colours again? That was the best ‘content update’ ever!

Nonono, making the commander buff visible only to allies. That was a crucial and gamechanging… change… that almost noone wanted/needed.

This is really disappointing. It was the right time for account bound wxp before season 2 starts. Now what we’re going to expect is that we won’t have any WvW patch ’til season 2 is over. sigh

That’s assuming we actually get account bound Wxp sometime in the next 10 years.

That whole “no patch for WvW during a season” is just ridiculous. I mean, honestly, what will accountbound WXP add to a season that makes it unfair or in any way changes the matchup balance?

We should all get used to it A-net shows little love, or carrying for its WvW player base, whether its simply not the $$$ or because we complain less who knows. Maybe it will be here within the next millennium?

Dewd, “overnight” is quite something different than “almost 4 months”. If it would have been somewhere at the upper end of a priority list and scheduled for a “when its done” release, someone would have already finished it and delivered before Season2, because it would be the perfect time to release it. Its really not that hard to add some numbers.

Not that I expected it in this patch, because I still believe the feature is waiting to be released with the “big” feature patch to have some WvW features in the patch aswell. But with the “no changes between seasons” policy, Season2 lasting till the end of May and the free reset Anet is giving us, this feature will probably come even later.

Well if they knew that it was going to take this long to implement it, why the * would they tell us about it that far ahead of time, building up expectations. And why is there no update on this from Anet? Atleast tell us how far they`ve gotten so we have a clearer picture of what to expect.

I think we’ve learned that lesson already.

This. If they would communicate progress with their player-base, it wouldn’t have received anywhere near a reaction like this. But instead, we’ve been left in the dark for months about something so many people want so badly.

I dont know why people assume Anet doesnt make any money from WvWers. I play the game mostly because of WvW, even though I still do my fair share of PvE. And I buy gems. I`ve decided I won`t anymore, not untill they show an effort to improve WvW.

They wont care a bit over some complaining on the forums. I suggest not buying any gems with real $$. Thats the only way to be heard as a consumer.

I was ready to buy some gems for a few things but I shall just trade in game gold for it now.

Who knows, only Anet can give you an answer on that.

So disappointed.

When I got that mail a small part of me actually believed they snuck in the acc bound wxp, but nope. Just have to redo points for no reason. Will anet say anything about this? Probably not but whatever.

The communicated it because they thought they’d be able to release it earlier. When that turned out to be problematic they gave us the best estimate they could at the time, which was soon and that they’d let us know more when they knew more. Add to that the other stuff they have had on their plates and whatever strings are getting pulled by NCSOFT and you have a delayed release of something that might be important to some devs but not so much to the company controlling the money. Seriously, this is not that hard to understand.

Yup. A single post from Anet on this topic earlier could have spared a lot of players a lot of disappointment. I don`t like to complain in the forum, there`s too much of that already. But I really am let down atm, and I fell like it could have been avoided. GW2 is a great game, but a bit more transparency on development would be much appreciated!

So they have time to introduce an entirely new season, reset wxp points, and yet this is a non-priority. They couldn’t like make the season stuff (of which nobody really asked for) come a bit later until things were setup nicely, so clearly we have a contradiction of stuff being ready when it’s ready.

Yea whatever.

I get to reallocate my World Ability Points. Call me “easy to please”, but that makes me happy.

I can continue to wait for the other stuff. No biggie. I’m still having lots of fun in WvW exactly how it is. The other updates will get here if/when they get here.

they dont give a kitten to wvw players, thats the true. the acc bound wxp was announced almost 5 months ago and they even gave to us a date or something. Every update is the same kitten, we hope it will come, and nothing. So disapointing (sorry for the english)

that anet logo on posts that they have responded to is getting annoying.
how about a nifty view all anet responses button.

Under the first section of the forum there`s a subforum called “Dev Tracker”. Look there for all the Anet posts.

Part of me is stunned, another part incredibly disappointed, and yet the majority of me is utterly unsurprised.

I am not sure I am going to bother with season two now. I had hopes of playing alts during Tournament, some I had spent time/energy/money to gear up into ascended.

I am also not sure whether I need to log into PvE anymore, since I won’t need to continue trying to gear up those alts.

I was looking forward to using my alts and the resulting gameplay as its own reward, not the (meaningless) rewards themselves.

Posting a link to notes from March 7th, in today’s Patch notes, without any other updates, felt incredibly insensitive.

I don’t normally like to post whines like this. I take full responsibility for “hoping” for account-bound wexp in this patch. (Also willing to admit this post would end up being overly dramatic if ANet bundles account bound wexp into a patch right before Tournament starts. That would a foolhardy thing to do, to not allow real testing before the season starts.)

If wexp won’t even make into consideration until June, I am not sure it is worth hanging around for.

WvW was the last hope my guild and I had for staying with this game.

-Lost motivation

I’m so sad to see that the acc bound wxp did not make it into this patch. Jeez man Anet – of everything you could do, your sterling team spends their precious time on getting a dolyak to walk in the middle of the bridge…. slow clap…

This thread in pvp is not even 24hrs old and look at the anet involvement. Our last response in this thread was 3 months ago…

So no account bound wxp ranks before June?

Sad…

I would like to be sure of something.

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…

It will be 200 points per character.

There will be an account wxp pool, where every wxp come in from every char you play. When you use 200 skillpoints out of this pool with 1 char they are gone and you cant use them for others.

Seriously i feel depressed about 3/18 update. WvW Spring Tournament is coming but anet does not do anything about WXP account bound. I spent more than 3000 gems moving gear to new 80 character just becuz i need to run new class in wvw for my guild during Spring Tournament. Now what anet doing is like kongzhong doing in chinese version gw2. Anet fails to live up to its promise to all wvw player. It is the time for me and guild member to leave this game. Anet does not give wvw player a kitten.

I think you`re misunderstanding.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-xp-and-you/

“The sum of those points will determine the world rank and World Ability Points available to each character on the account.”

“With this change, we hope to still see that sense of uniqueness to different characters while providing much more value across all characters on an account.”

FearedbytheGods.8617:

I’m so surprised it’s not implemented yet.

…

No I’m not.

EDIT: confused

Ok… pitchforks on the left and torches on the right.

ESO here I come, Anet you just made the decision that much easier. Good job.

Straegen.2938:

What about those with flaming pitchforks ?

New season and still no WXP on account. AN announced account WXP 5 months ago and still nothing.

Deadmanh.7425:

I don’t ever post

Wow he doesn’t either.

GG Anet.

Ok so, I love the game, I fully support Anet, big fan for over a year. I hate complaining and I hate the forum trolls here more than anything.

But this time, I’ll jump in the complain train too. What is going on with that matter, at least give us an answer. Indeed right now is the perfect time to fullfil that promise, where is it. Even new mastery trees have been datamined in reddit and we all know of them, as well as the datamined wvw exp itself. Come on Anet. Come on.

Dont forget on commander icons. Different colors were datamined 2 weeks ago.

The fact that you are upset is your own fault. Anet never said wxp accountbound was coming this patch. So don’t whine on the forums about it please. This is so silly.

No, they didn’t. But we all kinda assumed that they’d deliver it before launching another season because not doing so is silly.

Was really hoping to have my alts ready to rock for Season 2

Was gearing up an alt in time for season 2… guess that was pointless…
They can do 37 living story updates and releases every 5 minutes… but a few lines of coding for account-bound WXP for WvW in 5 months is not possible. Good job Anet.
It’s quite pathetic really.

TBH stuff your spring tournament, stuff your dolyaks traveling down the centre of a bridge. Fix the really bugs in wvw like speed hacks, invisible ppl in walls etc. the big one give us some feedback to questions ppl have been asking about for months. Waiting three months for a response on account bound wxp is just plain rude!

Add yet another disappointed customer (and gem buyer). The total lack of any communication for what most of the player base actually wants in WvW is what is amazing.

SkylightMoon.1980:

The only silly thing here is the lack of infos… i can understand there should be problems but really, let us know something!!!

Keep say “it’s ready when it’s ready” is like say nothing.

The part time intern was working on it, but they got replaced by another intern, who is devoting at least 5 minutes a month to wvw. So it is perfectly on schedule.. release date sometime in 2015!

This is obvious that account bound wxp will be added after season 2, because they just reset wxp without additional info according to wxp…

Accbound WXP seems to be a huge undertaking. Have you considered starting a Kickstarter for it, ANet?

First thing about this whole debacle that has made me laugh, thank you.

Starting to think they really only have 1 developer for the entire wvw section.

I’m not sure why you’re so optimistic.

Typical Anet being typical Anet. Really keep kicking themselves.
