Guild Wars 2

Since just before the tournament began I’ve not really had much time to play GW2; and when I do play it’s in WvW.

We are 2 weeks in now and I’ve already got 8/10 achievements with 5 more almost done! And I’ve hardly spent that much time in the game in the last 2 weeks!

What is the point in having a 10 week tournament if the achievements can be done in one by dedicated WvW Players?!
Sure it’s great to get rid of the PvE AP players, but then wouldnt it be better to make more of the achievements harder to get so that they must play at least half the season and have to contribute to WvW instead of just zerging. Though to be honest I think if that happened the PvE players would just zerg for 5 weeks instead.

But seriously, more thought and effort needs to be put into WvW!

I’d rather see they have no achievements, except maybe one achievement that counts how many WXP ranks you earn during the season, without awarding AP’s.

That way you can determine at the end of the season who participated (end-of-season reward is awarded to everyone who gained a certain number of WXP ranks during the season), without luring (or “forcing” as some people call it) PvE players into WvW.

This would be a terrible system. Why? EotM says hi. You get 2-3 ranks per hour there just by mindlessly karma training. You call that WvW skill?

They toned the achievements down because season 1 felt too much of a grind according to some people.

Personally I feel that the achievements in season 2 are fine to give PvE players a dip into WvW without overwhelming them with a massive grind. They listened to season 1 feedback about not having repairs, not having multiple JPs and not having merc camps in the list and that’s arleady a big plus for me.

Also not having destroy gates/walls achievement, big plus on that.

I think its good the way it is but i think it would make sence if there was a fortnightly reward.

Im very happy the achievements are kitten easy, that way the AP pve’rs can get them quickly and wont be causing queues for the real wvwers, also no repair acheivement to keep the noobs away draining keep supplies. All in all a BIG plus in my opinion.

I’m glad you’ve had it so easy. But I don’t get to play in the evenings. Normally I play early mornings and during the week days when most people are in work/school/whatever. But I’ve only managed to get 3/10 done. Some of them I thought where a bit much and I don’t think I’ll get all of them done unless I get a chance to get on I. The evenings which is probably not going to happen. Just because your having an easy time with it will not mean everyone is. And seeing as there are no dailie achevments added in on this meta I don’t think I’ll get it in the time that is left.

You got 7 more weeks to complete it

Considering it’s a 9 week event, the achievements are way too easy when they could be done in a day for the more hardcore and in a week for most casuals

If you playing WvW for the achievements then you are playing the wrong game.

No doubt.
