Guild Wars 2

Not a big fan of the new HOT Maps, but I figured, since they are already letting us use Proofs of Heroics to get Hero Points, why not let us use them for POI’s/Vista/Mastery Points as well for both HOT and Central Tyria.

That would make Proofs of Heroics an alternate way for someone who just wants to WvW still be able to complete HOT/Tyria map completion.

that would make WvW more rewarding and maybe even pull some ppl back in.

Another suggestion would be to add a vendor with special skins only available by these proofs. That way wvw players can show off some stuff. But never going to happen as Anet seems to hate their wvw players.

Wondering what a player does once they max out the HP Vendor. I guess jam the extra proofs in the bank?

You can buy superior siege provided you have excess badges

I have already finished all HPs in HoT maps on my Revenant without even accessing those maps once, all from wvw proofs. Now I am piling up on souldbound proofs that have no use. I guess I will spend them on superior siege at some point.

Why do we need to learn to play the elite specs? Who thinks that’s our task to do?
No one in PvE depends on me, I can play as badly as I like (as long as I’m not in a dungeon/raid but people surely would kick me if my usual PvE 111 isn’t enough).
The same cannot be said about wvw though.
Superior siege bought with proofs costs more badges than forged and to make place for the proofs the badges for a rank up have been removed…
I should be fine though – the only thing that bothers me is all the bank/inventory space for the proofs. And I think this game can live with me having only 2 elite specs unlocked.

I’ve been using it on siege, because there’s literally nothing else. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to add other stuff, seriously.

Though forging siege doesn’t seem to be a good idea atm. It costs like 13-14s in elder wood and mithril to do a single blueprint. If you do buy orders on say, superior rams, you can get them for around the same price. Even if you buy instantly, it’s 18-19s, meaning if you forge, you’re basically getting 5s per spirit shard, which are limited and is a very bad rate. It’s pretty easy to burn through these things too especially considering how painful reinforced gates are.

Added to the rather slow mystic forge interface, and it just seems like a waste of time. It’d make more sense to forge anything else using your spirit shards, and then just buying the siege outright or placing mass buy orders; be so much easier on the wrist. Or just use notaries I suppose.

I have several stacks of siege and actually worked towards spiritshards because of siege – to me badges are a problem. So: this isn’t too bad for people who have masses of badges and don’t know what to do for it – not so sure if it’s good for me (I’m really stingy when it comes to badges as a solo roamer/scout for the most part).

Also make them an account bound currency please.
