Guild Wars 2

The Battle Historian is still active on the WvW maps. I would like to see a reward track where we can earn the “WvW Tournament Claim Tickets” to get the skins etc.

Of course the reward track has to be time limited e.g. you can only active the rewardtrack once in a month. A full reward track give e.g. 300 Tickets, so it is possible to get one skin each month.

And for those how don´t like the skins, they still can buy the Ascended Accesories.

The tickets are Unique to Tournaments and should remain that way. They need to continue to fix WvW to the point where Tournaments can be brought back without the server stacking for easy wins.

Except there are no plans for easons, so this doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I doubt I would choose this track, but some might.

Which to me makes them more valuable to this game mode. If they get put on a reward track then something else will have to replace the tickets for the tournament.

Tournaments can be implemented even with all the current and upcoming changes to WvW if they do it correctly to where sever stacking can be prevented prior to the Announcement!!!

There should be a scribing/siege reward track.

Having thought about it, I don’t think that superior siege should be added to the provisioner as something purchasable on the fly. Superior siege should require a bit more effort and makes sense to remain as something rewarded, crafted or purchased.

That said there should be a reward track added where it can be earned on major intervals. So the lower and incremental might be basic siege, mid steps should be materials to upgrade them along with scribing supplies and then the top levels superior siege. That way as people play they can earn the material they need to further the war effort if that is something the focus on.

And we haven’t had tournaments for nearing 2 years now… The least the devs could do is thank their players for sticking around through the storms and make them obtainable as we speak. Rewards and skins need to be refreshed anyway, and there is zero reason for these skins to remain as is.

I am always a but surprised how many people in this game play for armor skins, but there a lot of them. ANet should design and release more skins over time and add them to the reward tracks. I may not be a fan, but have encounter a much larger number that are, and since it doesn’t add any power creep, why not add them if it brings more people in.

I believe it was already mentioned that they won’t be doing any tournaments in the near future and are thinking of different ways to give us access to the tickets.

Yes there won’t be anymore tournaments.

It’ll likely take a number of months to complete all the scoring changes, though we plan to release incremental progress in the form of live betas. The timeline also depends on if the community maintains that scoring is a priority, and they don’t vote for us to shift focus to another feature, like World Linking or Reward Tracks.

No additional WvW Tournaments are currently planned. While they were good for the game in the short term, in the long term they’ve proved to be unhealthy. This means we’ll want to repurpose WvW Tournament Tickets, possibly just as a general match reward, so that players can continue to earn the unique WvW weapon skins.
