Guild Wars 2

First I’d like to say thanks a lot for adding the reward tracks to WvW, especially the triumphant armor set one. That being said, I do have some thoughts.

1. Having the reward track attached to the ppt clock feels a bit like being soft-locked in. By this I mean I can’t play WvW for five minutes, and then go off and do something else without getting frustrated that time I’ve spent accruing participation will be thrown down the drain unless I wait the full 15 minutes for the end of the tick. – Maybe having the reward tracks attached to wxp gain would be an improvement. Sort of like in pvp as you gain rank points at the same time as reward track points.

2. This is linked to first issue in some ways, and if that issue were to change then this would be irrelevant, but if I’m trying to get my participation up to the full 550 and the clock is running down for the next tick, sometimes its physically impossible to get to the next objective and build my participation. As roaming is what I do most in WvW, a lot of the time I have small skirmishes which contribute nothing towards my participation. – Maybe player kills could be attached to participation in some way.

3. taking pvp reward tracks as an example again, having potions that add to your reward track as a reward for dailies would be much appreciated. Or they could be added to the loot tables for ranking up, or drops from enemies.

4. related issue to number 3, at the moment the only way to get reward track points is via the ppt clock. It sort of takes the triumph out of the triumphant armor set that you have to wait however many hours to receive one piece of armor at the end. I mean you wait to be given the loot, you might not have fought a single player in the time it took you to build your participation. – Maybe scoring kills on enemy players could be another source of reward points (not participation, actual solid points) either, again, attached to wxp gain for the kill, or just a standard amount like 50 per kill.

That’s pretty much it for now. What think ye?

Thanks

looks perfect
