Guild Wars 2

Can we make Mist Forge Weps a WvW reward track item please? They are an amazing skin that basically isn’t able to be gotten anymore since the seasons are gone now. Thank You.

there are plans to make the tickets available by some other means. don’t know the priority however….

If so they need to hurry up, I love those skins and it is a shame to see them locked off like they have been.

Didn’t they mention they were toying with the idea of making them acquired based on match up position?

If I remember correctly, I saw a red post about making them obtainable from wvw reward tracks.

If they make them available based on match-up position, that would be seriously unfair to the “guest/subworlds”, especially with no potential to change ranking or position.

A cheap transfer to Eredon Terrace or Vabbi would sort that out.

You mean, more expensive transfer, since that might become the case in order to stop bandwagon-hopping.

They are both Medium population servers, which means they have the lowest cost to transfer, but are partnered with the dominant bandwagons in NA and EU (respectively).

If certain rewards become available only or primarily to match-winners, then jumping on the bandwagon (through the new back door) is the optimal choice.

Please note that I do not think that is a good idea, precisely because offering better or exclusive rewards to match winners will drive even more bandwagoning.

The Tier 1 Weapons will be made available in an upcoming Reward Track, much like the armor already is.

We haven’t fully decided how to distribute the T2 Weapons and Armor yet. Though, we are currently leaning towards players purchasing them with a currency that they’d earn as a match reward. We may also set rank requirements for the various pieces, so you’d need to be a relatively high rank(1-2k) to purchase a full set.

My opinion stays as before “These should remain as a Tournament prize”. Burn out or not, the Tournament is all we have as a WvW special event. They should remain until something is created to replace it.

Where we are at with the current state of WvW, tossing in a random week long tournament will spice more things up in the game mode. It just has to be implemented correctly. I’ll repeat my suggestion again:

1: No prior notification of when the tournament is to happen but should start on Reset night and the “Notification” only appears then. This is to help any attempts at server stacking.

2: PPK will be the score for the winning server placement.

3: Lock out server transfer during the match or if transfers are allowed, then lock out access to WvW during the match and EotM is only available.

4: Placement, i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and the amount of associated tickets will be up to Anet.

By going with PPK, it shouldn’t have to much affect on sever scoring and Glicko ratings.

We are not getting tournaments right now, or even back for a long time… Maybe never because permanent losses to participating happened after each tournament.

Those weapon skins have been unobtainable for a year and a half, players don’t need to wait longer for these. It’s embarrassing that they have been locked out from purchase this long.

tournaments are dead. give it up. theyre terrible for the long term health of the game mode. good riddance.

A 4 week or longer tournament is bad. An incentive during a normal match week isn’t!!!

Just wondering, do you realize that wvw populations are still a complete mess?

they almost need to be personal reward tracks or just another reason to stack…… not everyone will stack of course, but another reason to stack is not needed…..

That’s my point. A week long embedded event that will give access to the tickets without much work on Anets side to implement. The mess has been here for years. I’m not talking about a full blown out tournament like the past where the whole purpose was to win for those tickets.

I think they should stay special rewards. The reward tracks are too trivial and basically just a time gate of playing 9 -10 hours of WvW each.
There are 14 longterm WvW achievements, make 9 fastest of them give 1 weapon skin for finishing and the 5 hardest 2 skins (250k kills, 500 camp defenses, 500 stonemist captures, capture 2000 keeps and capture 7500 objectives)
Then you would have the complete collection after mastering WvW.
