Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys,

since it seems very hard to reward actions and performances in WvW majorly for defenders i´d like to suggest a new reward system.

Reward the Players that built Siege.
Person X places an Ac at a Keyposition in a Tower. Person Y uses that Ac and kills several Enemies with it. Person Y gets a lot of Wxp and loot for it. Person X gets nothing. So i´d suggest that Person X gets at least a trickle of the Wxp that Person Y gets.
Lets say Person Y gets 60 Wxp for a kill so let´s give Person X as reward for placing that Ac 5 Wxp.

Same for other Sieges in offense and defense. So you couldn´t just only reward kills with the different Sieges but Dmg on walls and gates, or maybe dmg on other Siege too.

At the end of an defensive / Offensive Event you could measure the obtained wxp and give different Rewards. At the moment there is a bronze silver and gold reward, but at least for me it´s nothing i would labour for.

Another Suggestion would be rewarding Commanders a bit more. Those have to use hundreds of rams and other sieges every day so it´s a huge gold sink atm.

Lets revive the Squad mechanic which noone uses at the moment. A commander with a good amount of players in his squad gets a special reward for capping a tower. It doesnt have to be that much, that every commander gets suddenly rich, but at least that much that his costs are covered.

So a Commander captures SM and needs to use let´s say 6 superior rams. That would be nearly 1 gold, so lets reward the commander with a bit more than a few silver like every other member of the zerg gets.

Rewarding especially commanders should only be able with a zerg of 10+ ( 10+ Squad Members) i´d say.

I believe that everyone would love to join the squad of their commander if it would support him.

What do you guys think?

I kinda like this, but the problem is that people might start throwing siege everywhere, even when they shouldn’t.

So lets say you wipe a zerg in SM, thus resetting their wvw exp score, and then head out to cap their keep. The fight lasts 2 hours and you kill them 10 times over, but don’t get any wvw exp since it never accumulates due to them dying so fast. When you finally cap the keep you get almost no reward since you didn’t earn much wvw exp.

So a commander who pvd’s a tower with a huge zerg gets more rewards than a small 5-man roaming group that captures the same tower?

What I said above.

Rewarding commanders is a good idea, but tricky to implement. It could lead to a lot of hostility and discussions about who gets to tag up. Rewarding on the basis of zerg size also further aggravates the zergball meta we currently have, which might not be a good thing. The way it is now we can make sure that only those who enjoy commanding tag up

Commanding is costly, but most commanders know this and have a guild that supports them with siege, along with the occasional donation from other players.

ye my suggestion has some weaknesses for sure and i hope we can improve it though.

well for defensive siege its not that big a problem cause there is a siegecap isnt there? So there wont be 15 Acs on one spot.
But people will place more sieges themselves thats true.

Well ye tbh this point was more related to the defensive side. But the offensive side will get 1 bonus reward for wiping that one zerg. Wiping them 5 times in a row isnt that heroic anymore

thats the point i was most uncertain about. I definately dont wanna reward big karmatrains. But i also dont want 20 commanders on the map with a squad of 2.
So there must be a better solution.

Well im playing on Gandara Eu and there are always the same 3-4 commanders tagging up all the time and they would love to have some more “competition” I dunno if its that much better on other servers.

About the building seige rewards.

What about maybe increasing the WXP for building, and/or providing a reward for kills with the seige (as per your original suggestion). It would be the same reward as tagging an enemy, but with no bag. However, only have it be rewarding only for a period of time. Say 10 mins. That way people don’t just build seige all willy nilly to get rewards.

ah and i forgot in my first post the people that are upgrading a tower/keep for hours.
They should get a much higher reward while defending to make it more attractive.
