If I missed something, feel free to post so I can add further information.

WvW players don’t have any laurels at all.

By making it require laurels, you are requiring the WvW player to do extensive PvE just to get any ascended equipment.

Please reconsider.

What? Oo

Dailies and monthly…. If you can’t do those something it wrong.

You’ll get laurels in WvW doing WvW based dailies.

Make it karma based. Moving along!

They’re creating new WvW dailies, so its probably going to be laurels. Its actually kind of nice… the monthlies have been nice and easy lately.

Laurels next patch.

All ascended gear kind of has a cap on the rate at which you can acquire it, I can see why it will be no different for WvW ascended pieces.

Only a WvW player knows Anet won’t spoonfeed you, I’ve collected 149 laurels since they introduced the currency.

If they make WvW Ascended not require laurels, you’ll just get a flood of PvErs coming in to get Ascended, clogging up maps with badge-farming-zerker-nubs.

I don’t particularly like laurels either, it just shows a lack of thought and design on their part that they have to put a 1-per-month cap on ascended items. But if that cap exists in PvE, I don’t see why it shouldn’t exist in WvW too.

And Dailies are incredibly easy to do in WvW. Usually 4 of them can be done just by playing WvW normally, and then it takes 10 mins each day to do the crafting one or the JP one or whatever. And now that they’re adding more WvW achievements, we won’t even have to do those.

Dude I can get my dailies in wvw almost every day. You get 3/4 just from doing random crap in WvW, then you can do the last 1 or 2 from the karma merchant, laurel vendor, mystic forge (GARRISON HAS A MF), or crafting. It’s so easy to do I never have to leave WvW except to lions arch for the laurels vendor.

The real bummer is only access to amulets and rings in WvW.

Some servers would die to have PvE’ers come out to WvW.

Zerker nubs? You mean free kills? Bring it on time to farm!

If there is cap why PvE player have so many rings that they don’t have room to store those? Cap just mean that devs take revenge against players who haven’t done their flavor of the month dungeon.

Laurels are already easier to get in WvW then in PvE, and the next update will probably make it even easier. It’s hardly anything to worry about.

I’ve got every daily and monthly laurel since they were introduced, and I’ve done so almost exclusively in WvW.

Always do your dailys.

They said, ‘discounted’ laurels, I hope Anets version of discount is 75% off not 10-20%, if its just 10-20% plus badges it will suck and be a big let down, especially after a 7 month wait and no new exclusive ascended items that initially can be got only in WvW.

Because they’ve been doing several tiers of fractals a day since November and ended up getting bonus rings with useless stats. They still need laurels for amulets and accessories… Don’t tell me you’re jealous of those people :p

Sir surely you jest, as I have did every daily inside WvW. My guess is that you haven’t been doing them at all?

Also I SURELY want them to cost laurels, cause the thought of those badge horders gearing 8 toons with ascended gear in one day sickens me. Coupling them with laurels gives some time-gating to the acquisition so badge horders aren’t rewarded.

-Signed: Someone who used too many badges on siege as he was a broke WvWer.

But they already have rings so they can get more amulets. One ring cost 35 laurels so i don’t know how you exploit this game if this seems small thing for you. Well maybe if you could get 100 laurels/day it wouldn’t matter that much.

+1 I have a lot of badges and karma from playing WvW, but no laurels.

I don’t know how this is possible when you get some days where the dailies are:

Kill 10 enemy players
Kill 5 dolyaks
Kill 1 champion
Kill 5 vets
Remove 15 conditions

You should have SOME laurals.

I have a few that I got without trying for it. Those won’t be enough to get any ascended items I’m sure.

The point stands. Dailies = PvE content. WvW = killing other players and playing for objective without a care for what the “dailies” are.

Maybe you didn’t read the update messages. There will be a WvW daily. You can earn what you need from that daily.

I’ve finished a couple sets of dailies doing nothing but WvW – there’s two achievements that you can only get in WvW, as far as I’m aware, and everything to get most of the rest is there, as well (nothing for Living Story, surprisingly, but I figure they’ll probably shoehorn that in somewhere, somehow, one of these days). I even knocked my monthlies from 25% to done almost entirely using WvW.

Sure, some of the dailies require you to kill some non-player enemies; is that really so difficult to tolerate?

You can get most of the dailies done in WvW.

Collect 50 bones, kill 50 bandits, do 50 X… That’s what mmos are all about.

Really? Daily kill 10 invaders…. kill 6 dolyaks….. repair 25 worth of supply. Unless you don’t count the dailys then you are right.

daily:
1.kill 5 yaks
2.kill 10 players
3.kill 13 diferent monsters – you find 7 or 10 diferent npc’s at hero’s orchad (citizen /engineir /tehnician/soldier… etc)
4.50 kills
5.ambient killer
6.veteran slayer
7.champion slayer
8.5 events
9.crafting (home border – cost less that 1 silver – 10 bolts of silk)
10.mystic forge – (Garrison) -gamble your loot from karma train
11.gather
12.repair
13.lvler
14. skill points acumulator (3 lvls)
15. savage
this is fair for everybody
We should punish scouts, cause they don’t follow the karma train ?
or roamers, ppls who run in smal groups ?
daily take 10 minutes maximum to complete – but if you don’t follow teh karma train you might need 1 week to get 250 badges, while you get it in 3-4 hours zerging.
So you want more zerg ? i had enough, i spent my badges, i bought sieges, i bought items for my alts, now should i follow the karma train in your humble oppinion ?

Excalibur.9748:

WvW players don’t have any laurels at all.

Yeah they do, especially with new WvW tasks as promised. I’d rather laurels if it means a reduced badge price.

Fractal rings require no laurels why should WvW ones ?

Bluesavanah.8562:

Fractal rings require no laurels why should WvW ones ?

Cause the devs like playing fractals more?

I almost never complete dailies during WvW sessions because I go to WvW to PvP, not to PvE. I do understand it’s better for people to buy siege with badges rather than hoarding them for ascended gear though. Why not just let players buy ascended items through WvW ranks?

The problem with laurels is u have to play every day to get them. Anet likely will not change it.

Funny how I have over 100 laurels. Its easy to get laurels in WvW

The OP was infracted but not deleted or moved. Enough people +1’d to get the thumbs up symbol despite most posters disagreeing with it.

This thread is the best mind game.

P.S. I still need something other than a RNG box to spend my karma on. tia

Uh Dailies do not = PvE content. Have you even bothered to look at them?

Making stuff up doesn’t necessarily make it true to the rest of the world.

There have been a couple of days I completed the daily without even being aware of it.

Those are the best days.

Wat? i am WvW player rank 120 and i got already over 150 laurels

Bluesavanah.8562:

Fractal rings require no laurels why should WvW ones ?

because if you actually play FOTM you NEED those rings; unlike WvW.

Funny, I played some FOTM and never needed those things. :shrug:

Ed: Also, if you needed something from the dungeon to complete the dungeon, nobody would have finished it, ever.

Play FotM lvl 48 and you will beg for those rings. Also for them being infused.

Any reason the user was infracted for making this post? (Can be read on the right side of the post above the thumbs up with a star in it.)
And I agree, but since there is nothing that can be done we might as well start farming Laurels.

It takes 15 minutes to get a laurel. You guys…

Cosmos The Cat.2954:

It takes 15 minutes to get a laurel. You guys…

Can you explain how this can be done?
I was under the impression that only one could be received by daily and 10 per monthly. (If you don’t do FOTM)

are poeple having problem really play this game? o.o

Zumy.6318:

Ah, but nobody’s forcing you to play FotM at level 48.

So you don’t need infusions for FotM, you want them to be more effective. Just like you don’t need them in wvw, but you want them to be more effective.
