Guild Wars 2

What happened to these title tracks? 10/10 on each, titles have been removed? I’m assuming this was just a hiccup, at least I really hope so.

errr if completed with the title thats ok…
If it reverts and we lost progress though………………..those are gonna hurt.
Supply aint easy to come.

Got the same , not overly happy tbh…………spent something like 90k building siege – now i know the title is never gonna come unless they lower the bar……….but at least i felt i was getting there…………………..now i’ve spent only 10 Supply…………………:(

All WvW titles (with exception of 250k kills) were/are completely insane and mostly impossible.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Talk:World_vs_World_%28achievements%29 (I’m not the one writhing this)

1,000,000 caravans is an extremely stupid amount. If you were to only kill caravans all the time, with no breaks what-so-ever, and if there’d be 2 minutes between each kill, that would take a little over 3 years of constant caravan-killing to get the achievement. And let’s say that you spend 1 hour a day on killing caravans, that would take you over 70 years to get the achievement.

Didn’t calculate time needed for supply achievements. Probably lower but still insane.

So, if Anet decides to change some/all of these titles, it is a good idea.
But 2.5 + 1 million replaced with 10+10 units, and no more title ????

These achievements are not even achievements anymore. Just go once to WvW, grab supply once, use it once. Done.
I’m not a huge WvW player (tbh I’m a PvE player, going to WvW with my guild for 3-6 hours/week). So I’m not talking about frustration of losing a huge progress (didn’t have) and I’m not unhappy to get max achievement points easily; but I’m trying to be objective here : this needs a higher target.

I understand that this one may have been removed for one reason : prevent people from ruining the game by trying to get this achievements by the only effective (but still too long) way = build a lot of weapons near supply camps.

But if there are achievements that are not too hard to get and most people know that they will get it after a few months of not too much playing WvW (=just like PvE achievements or a bit higher since PvE ones are undersized); most of them will stop focusing them and just wait for them to come … not ruining the WvW match !

Example : 5-10 000 supply per achievement.

Or if the “stop ppl from ruining game” hypothesis is wrong and the nerf is just about removing impossible achievements : 20-50 000 supply per achievement.

Btw, there is nothing about this change in the update notes. Anet, what happened ? Was this change intended to be included in this update ? What are the official reasons for this change ?

Eowyn

Insane yes,but measurement among defenders and dream title to get (if we ever reached it in our lifetime).

Bumping this because I haven’t seen an answer as of yet regarding these two achievements. I’m hoping it’s just a glitch! I was chugging along, slowly but still making some significant headway, on Master of Disaster and know a few other fellow defenders that were getting very close to their title.

Been already two days with no official word about it,and that doesnt look well.

maybe it’s a step to countering griefers, ie now no-one can claim that they are just working towards their title.

Any word on this yet….I have been watching this post for an answer….

Drat. I was oddly proud of being at 120k. Was chipping away towards the title … And no title anymore huh?

So now us defenders gets even less of a reason to continue what we’re doing…. atleast the old title gave something to work for in the long run…

Agree with you. I was totally kicking kitten on that, not in the way the dev implies but in true spirit of the achievement. I’m so bummed they did this. And after today’s update, now that we got a look at the new WvW achievements for leagues as a defender, I am totally disappointed. There is very little incentive to defend in those achievements.

god I love the QQ from this achievements already.. It is insane PVE players coming to the maps asking for Achievements why they cant do it etc… God imagine what it will be on friday and after this…The most funny part is people dont know anything for WvW and when you ask them why you want this achievments,answer is for the achievement points omg…But this is anet dream full servers queues everywhere with the transfers before the league…

Actually I never pve. Haven’t since October last year. I spend about 10-12 hours a day in WvW, seven days a week, although taking it a bit easier before leagues start. I am pretty decent in 1v1s and can say I’m a reasonably good scout, as well as good in a big epic open field battle. I was likely the one you cursed at last week as I ninja flipped SM/Bay/Garrison with a few of my portals. I just happen to like setting up our towers and keeps properly before I head out to fight. That’s how I got my 120K.

You know what happens when you assume …

Next time Piken is up vs SFR, look me up. We can go duel. Always looking for new challenges.

Ok dude this is an intervention. Step away from the computer now! Please go outside and get some real friends. That’s just not healthy!!!

Hahaha NO!.

You do realize I’m not alone doing this right? In fact there’s guys (and gals) on my server who do longer hours than me, every day.

This was an intended change. Players were using supply specifically to level the achievement – and there’s better uses for supply than that. This is our first step towards improving WvW achievements overall.

However, I do agree that we could have communicated this a bit better.

Sorry about the confusion.

Edited in my original response. Less clicky.

Well, not the answer I was hoping for. I get it, but I don’t like it. The fact that it was just dropped on us without warning, or without any that I had seen, was a bit rough. That was my main WvW goal, the first achieve I was even remotely close to getting, and was in no way obtained by wasting supply. It all went to tower defense siege as I usually sentry. I really don’t think this change will stop supply wasters either. There will always be troll siege built by griefers.

I’m a bit sad to see it go the way that it did. Is there any idea on putting the title back in game in some other form?

While I love the game and a lot of changes that Anet makes to the game, some of these changes really make me cringe. To prevent a few bots/griefers, Anet takes the easy way out by not rewarding tasks like yak escorting and siege building and everything else that falls under category of “defense” and “logistics” of warfare. If zerging is all that Anet likes, take out the towers and keeps, let us zerg it out in open field forever.

It’s like taking a big dump on some of the selfless people, who are like the backbone of any server in WvW, and to do what? To stop a couple of bots or achievement whores? It’s not just about not communicating to us, it is about not making defense and logistics overall as rewarding as zerging is. While honest players are being taken a crap on, griefers and WXP whores are still wasting supply to build siege endlessly.

Siege building and wall repairs are too easy to exploit. It makes sense to remove those categories. Yak escorting is good and should be rewarded more.
