Hello again,
before i start, let me clarify that i do solo WvW and i find little interest in the other parts of the game. Also keep in mind, that my suggestions are going to affect mostly players that have already reached or reaching the endgame and not new players.
I have been very satisfied with the overall attention you are paying to wvw lately. Introducing the reward tracks and the Polls we are having are simply amazing. Also, finally even WvW players can now collect some decent gold and spend it where they see fit like food, sieges and maybe some skins every now and then. But there are still a few things i would like to point out.
1st and most important is the reward track. I ve completed all the tracks already and repeating certain ones over and over again with no interest whatsoever in what track i am actually repeating.
My idea here is simple. Keep the reward tracks we are currently having but label them as “Normal” and they can still be around for players that are not doing WvW so often or they might have come to WvW for a specific track like The Gift of Battle BUT introduce new reward tracks like “Major” ones or even “Glorious” ones that actuall WvW players can choose for something better in the longrun.
Give us gifts of exploration and other gifts for legendaries or even one massive reward track for a completely new legendary back item like PvP-ers have the Ascesion. I personally did map completition once and i will never do it again but i would certainly like to start a new legendary if i had that option through a reward track that would assist me a bit. I like WvW most, but i do like shiny things too, do not get me wrong
2nd suggestion is, kind of an extension of the first one. New rank ups in WvW make no sense after you get all your WvW abilities unlocked. And for someone who solo WvW, that’s very soon. And yes, getting a new-tier title like platinum is kneet but that could be something so much more.
Give us something specific every 500 or 1000 ranks so we can actually have something to look forward to. Like the AP chests. Or introduce new WvW abilities. A bunch of them. Something.
3rd and last suggestion is the WvW achievements. When i loged in in HoT for the first time i had all my WvW achievements completed, except the Ultimate Dominator title. Since i mostly defend homeborder, i know i m never gonna get that title and thats ok with me. But give us something to keep track of. And yeah, not unrealistic like the old ones, but maybe something high enough but actually obtainable.
I remember me and my friend were comparing Objectives Defended to see who was highest, or dollies escorted to objectives, stuff like that, that can literally express in numbers how much effort you have put in the game. Now that everybody has everything, titles have no meaning any longer and thats rather disappointing.
Keep in mind that all three of my suggestions are mostly aiming for those few players that love WvW, play lots of it and dont want to play anything else. I hardly believe any of those ideas can be exploited or farmed by someone who doesn’t love WvW. But it will be a nice addition to us who have reached the endgame and feel like we are losing purpose of why we do stuff.
Remember that WvW players are very loyal and commited to the game. Give us something that only WvW-ers can brag about it!
Thanks.
