Guild Wars 2

yes please i have 24.5k badges and i want to level my ranger >.<

Did I hear someone say bump? No?

Bump
And btw a Mix of Karma and WvW Badges would be AWESOME

^Karma most of all. I’m practically floating in it.

I love this idea

Omg my guild and I were talking about this the other day. This is the best idea.

How is it that I could get Tomes from doing the LA event which required nothing but running around and pressing 1 and occasionally F but I can’t get them from doing WvW which actually requires some skill? ><

bestest idea ever!

Is leveling really that hard?

I have 13 tomes of knowledge sitting in my bank because I tend to save them for the last few levels on the way to 80 because its annoying to gear for level 75 when you could get on with the business of gearing permanently for level 80, but on the whole level just seems pretty simple (I have nine 80s on my account).

I’m not against it, I’m just surprised by the enthusiasm for it.

It´s because there are many WvW only Players like my Guild Leader and they just dont ever go to pve so they sit on 1 Character and 2k AP after a year. We need better overall rewards for WvW because we get badges and they just go up and up and up without decreasing and also give us more WvW exclusive skins(which are actually good and not so easy to get).

Anything is better than the stuff we have right now so give us new rewards for WvW

I want 150 badges for one tome. I have many of them.

if they were random champ bag loot and could buy from wvw vendors i’d do more wvw: did a lot more pvp before glory got removed to level one of my characters.

Stop giving good ideas. you are clogging up the pipeline with good ideas… account bound wxp, commander abilities/squad and now this!… someone get anet some Ex-lax, their pipeline is constipated.

Great idea. Levelling alts in WvW isn’t very fun or practical, so I think this would really improve the current system.

Gets my vote. Would be less upscaled players in WvW aswell =)

And less upscaled players in WvW is win-win, cause nobody wants to fight lowbies, especially not those elite T1 players doh, free loot sucks!

Will be running without upscaled after this!

Lets do it ANet, Not one disagree through this whole thread.

Btw! what about combinations?
Karma+Badges+Gold?

Oh wait, someone already suggested this.

it doesnt hurt to suggest things again because then the devs will be all like "oh multiple people supported this "

This would be great along with the account WXP.

eh i think it still needs to be a bit more limited. it should cost some gold some badges some karma and a laurel or two.

OR they could make a mystic forge recipe that requires some combination (im just going by what i get a lot of in wvw):

1: gifts of battle,
2: something bought for skill points or gold from miyani (seige upgrade?)
3: something bought from the laurel vendor (tastes of wxp?)
4: ingredient costing karma (obsidian shards?)
5: something costing gold (crafting mats/elonian wine?) should be sub 5g
6: essences of luck?
7: ascended crafting mats?

Why do you feel laurels need to be added when both the other game types could spend X amount of time farming per day to get levels where you’d have us locked into at least one level per day? Not trying to be rude but genuinely Curious!

You are not locked into one level per day, you can still get many levels a day in wvw from all the karma training that goes around especially at the end of matchups. I just want to limit the number of extra levels you can instantly get.

Plus i was just going by what i have in my inventory and my current attitude towards dailies. Atm I don’t really have any real incentive to do dailies. I have all the wvw skills i want and i have all my ascended gear. I could turn them into mats for gold but atm i have a decent stash and really nothing to spend it on. So giving players like me an additional incentive to do the dailies is a good thing.

i dont mind the idea of laurels for levels but i would be unhappy if the only way to spend badges to get levels was to also spend laurels at the same time. feels too similar to wxp-for-laurels.

YES!!!!!! How much I would love this. There’s plenty of time for exploring but my alts don’t need that. Please give us this.

EDIT: and no way would I ever want to agree on laurels being tied to the tomes. This is in the WvW section and badges are the currency for WvW. Daily’s are so time gated there is no way. I can understand the ascended trinkets requiring laurels and badges because they are ascended items and I can understand the time gate and large cost, but tomes? Forget it

You must suffer endless hours of PvE champ trains or WvW karma trains to level those alts. It’s what makes the game fun!

Please leave laurels out of this… that is the worst idea in the whole thread. xD

Leave laurels out of this. They are already too contended for ascended trinkets.

And yes, I’m done exploring. I’ve done map completion on 1 character, 70% on another – great leveling, but I’m done with it. It’s boring. Let me level up characters (faster) in wvw.

Make people spend some of those badges we’ve got stockpiled – once they’re useful for something else, you’ll see the price of siege go back up to non-trivial prices, which I think would be good for the economy.

I’d love this idea. 20 badges per tome

Zutha.5091:

I’d love this idea. 20 badges per tome

20? id think it’d have to be around 200 to be on par with similar costs for previous tomes, but that’s just like my opinion, man.

ah see, wvw badges income varies

With tpvp the amount can be predicted… but if you’re a romaer in wvw it could take hours to get 20 badges. If you’re on a losing server there will be no trains.

General rule of thumb is an horus work for a tomb. 200 is 8 horfus work on some servers.

e.g. I roam in wvw… I’d be luck to get a tomb in a week, let alone an hour at 200 badges

Kincaidia.3192:

Said everyone always. I wonder why they spent so much time making all those areas when they made them boring by just copy-pasting the heart quests as if we wouldn’t notice…

point taken, might be difficult to find a ‘fair’ price.

Well somehow this escaped from the front page, shame that.

WvW continues to cater to larger scale combat, While roamers may earn less badges/hour im pretty sure anyone that’s wvw’d for 3+ months has 5k+ badges saved up by now..

What about….
10 Skill Points for a level!
Would make sense, no?

A mix of skillpoints and badges could be an option worth looking at.

If I could buy an insta level 80 kit from the Gemstore I would. I found leveling my first toon tedious. Leveling my second toon was still tedious as was the one after that and the one oafter that. My last toon I did over a weekend of karma training the crap out of SoR and SBI. It was fast but still tedious. I just hate leveling, I don’t find it fun or interesting and the changes they are bring to the leveling system isn’t going to change that for me. OP has my +1.

I have never seen so many thumbs up in a row ._.

Quote yourself so i can quote you quoting yourself? Idk seems like a bandaid solution

Woah dere. Almost on the second page.

^^Is that a dbl post I see?

+1

I can definitely see myself playing WvW more often if this happens. A good badges:tome ratio would be 50 given how thats the average I make on an hour and a half or so, about the same time it takes me to level up in PvE.

Awesome idea!
This is really great, but I think 100 badges is too easy. Maybe 150 to 200 depending if its only badges or badges+gold(just how with armors in wvw). I hope the devs peak at this thread.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Back up top with you!

Wonderful idea here, needs to happen.
