Guild Wars 2

I just started playing WvW so please forgive my ignorance. I have maybe 30 kills and not one badge of honor. I have seen bags laying on the ground but never once got a badge of honor. You think I would at-least have one with 30 kills?

And why for the love of god are Badges of Honor not auto loot? It’s not very fun or convenient having to hit F mid battle. When there are ton’s of players around, you won’t even see that bag.

I only have managed 700 badges with 2800 kills on record, as well as hundreds of kills of tower/camp/keep/castle lords and at least 50 jump puzzle runs, the badges aren’t too frequent

700/2800 = ~4 kills per badge. So still alot better then my 30 kills for 0 badges. Guess I will give the puzzle a try.

check ur WvW achievement for ur actual kill count. i think badge drop rate is usually around 5kill per badge without including any jump puzzle. :-p also, only players and keep/tower/camp lord npc have a chance to give badges.

Play a glass cannon shortbow thief.

Actually no, alot lower. I’m going to assume that 100 or my badges are from towers/supply camps and with 50 jump puzzle runs 300 or so badges. In actuality, you should be going 300/2800, which is more like 1/9. You could just be getting unlucky in all honesty.

OK, will give it a few more hours tonight. Hopefully I don’t end up with nothing like the last couple of nights.

Edit: Just another thought. You get 1-2 badges per bag/kill if it drop’s correct? So that means the odds of me not having one badge after 30 kills must be really rare?

extremely rare. i get bags about every other kill.

one easy way to get it is to form a small party and capture supply camp the chance of the supervisor dropping it is quite high.

no, u dont always get badges every drop even from players. whether or not u going to get drops depends on how much damage u do to the player. then from there, u have a chance of getting badges. my 5:1 ratio is probably more geared towards dps since they “tag” targets much faster.

Bags annoy me something rotten, I wish they’d implement a system where your badges were automatically mailed to you after a 24hr period. How many times have you been caught in the middle of a zerg, killed 2 or 3 people but died during that period, then more people kill a couple more you tagged and loot bags you can’t get appear by your corpse?

It’s bloody annoying, or you’re running away and as you blink or dodge, the magical F to search appears and you know running back to press F will lead to certain death and a badge or two….
