Guild Wars 2

QUOTING DEVON:

==========

DevonCarver.5370:

My statement doesn’t require translation. WvW is a part of GW2, it is not its own game, it is not a standalone product and it is not separate from the game. Your characters from WvW are usable in PvE and vice-versa for a reason. I love WvW and prefer it to the rest of our game, but I still go and run Living World content when I feel like it. The idea is that all of our players create an ecosystem that is interdependent. If players only played one or the other, each area would be less compelling and less fun. Sure, there are some number of people who only play WvW, but more people play the rest of the game as well.

=========

Alright, I only have one question. Why are the players WvWing dependent of PVE to get their gear and money when people from PVE don’t depend on WvW to get anything, AT ALL?

- Ascended rings required PVE-only fractals for a long time
- You used to not be able to complete all your dailies from WvW
- You can choose to never step into WvW and be rich and have the best gear/loot, including skins
- There is no unique skins obtainable via WvW only
- PVE players DON’T need WvW to get what they want
- WvW players need PVE to get what they want

Devon, while I agree WvW is not a standalone game and to get access to all skins (and I’m talking about SKINS; making WvW players PVE for ascended gear (fractals) was stupid and a low blow) , shouldn’t WvW players be rewarded something UNIQUE that PVE players can’t get by running dungeons and farming events?

Something to think about.

They have been pushing the move to make all PvE gear available in WvW and that I like (even back pieces are coming and that’s awesome).

Yes, I’d LOVE WvW only skins for specific goals.

Dolyak armor for 1k yaks kills? YOU BET.
Specific skins for 10k-50k-100k-150k-200k-250k kills? YES PLEASE!

Now that the LS is pretty much in its “grove” I hope they start paying attention to the WvW scene. It’s becoming very toxic as of late and it’s killing the game mode for many players.

The only thing PvE focused players need WvWvW for is map completion and if they want legendaries, then they need the badges too. Other than that, no, not a single thing.

Huge amounts of badges int he Achievables chests.. Thats something else wvw dont get a lot of,AP. While pve players sit on 8-10k. We’re all sitting on 2.5-5k at most generally.

Ah I forgot about those, nice catch(don’t know why they put WvWvW badges in chests, when it’s easier to get AP in PvE :/ ).

Know what would be cool? If we could use our sPvP gear and weapons in WvW. That would make WvW less dependent on PvE.

I get where you are going but you are at least partially wrong.

PvE players must collect badges and POIs to get a legendary. While both can be done without killing a player, it isn’t easy (at least not anymore).

Ascended rings can be purchased with Ectos and Badges. Back pieces (which is probably what you are actually talking about) requires PvE and mostly Fractals which many PvE players dislike.
