Guild Wars 2

So it looks like after the expansion you no longer get skill point for leveling up. Instead you get mastery points… So far so good…

“This means characters that have reached level 80 will no longer gain skill points through leveling. Skill points will be added as rewards across high-level content to offset this change.”

Do you think that this will decrease the supply of the superior siege on the market?

Do you think that alt characters will be used for crafting siege?

What are your thoughts?

I hadn’t seen this yet. Unless they start making it easier to get superior siege somehow, this is going to be a problem. Hopefully, they have a plan for you to gain more sup siege in wvw making it easier to offset this and not make it even more pay to win than it is already. Making wvw more self sustaining is the only way to remove some of the pay to win aspect of it’s current state.

Oh, just before somebody says with 4000 SP left… they will disappear quickly. This change means that a Scroll of Knowledge drop is valuable.

" Masteries are the way you will progress after reaching level 80 in PvE"

Does this mean that a wvw player still gets Skill Points as level-up rewards?

I’m getting really confused here… sorry…

I hope it decreases the supply of Superior Siege. That would be great for the game. In fact, eliminate Sup. Siege altogether. Its part of the problem.

I don’t think the sup. siege is a problem… The more than 1000 skill points I have free to spend IS a problem… And everybody else has the same amount…

And everybody and their sister buys sup siege now.

Anyway thanks for your comment, that’s another way we must approach this change…

Spending skillpoints on superior siege always was a waste. Better to build other stuff with the SP and buy the blueprints.

To get superior siege blueprints you need to spend SP, kitten kitten .

Talk again about getting superior siege if youre a very active WvW commander. If nobody supports you money wise then you wont gain a single profit from your commanding simply cause most of your money is sucked in by superior siege and food youre droping.

So let others waste their SP for superior siege? Meanwhile you build something that gives 1.5g profit per SP and buy 10 superior siege blueprints for just 1 skillpoint used.

Considering how many skill point scrolls drop from champ bags, I don’t believe it will be a problem.

so what the hell is going to happen to my 500 saved scrolls of knowledge?

I think one thing is blatantly clear, Anet have yet again made changes without considering the effect they will have on WvW.

We barely make enough in WvW but from the sounds of it we may have to end up relying on PvE players selling siege instead. Yet again PvE FTW for making gold, whilst WvW we’re just kids working in a sweatshop as child labour.

Hang on guys!

As I quoted: " Masteries are the way you will progress after reaching level 80 in PvE"

…in PvE

So it is possible that on a wvw map you still get level-up skill points. I posted here because I’m not 100% sure how ANET implements this change. Or they can just add a superior siege vendor.

I really hope they thought about us this time

Sup siege vendor… So all the EotM folks can spend their 100k+ badges on a stack of Omegas…. Dunno how I feel about that…

removing lvling up after lvl 80 means removing getting exp from mobs and events for lvl 80 characters, so i don’t know where people got that ideas that u won’t get any skillpoints after pack.

Superios siege better be easier earned, cuase atm some people struggle without them and some servers even playing totally without sup siege.

Omegas – best siege in game. ACspammers can’t hide that long on their acs with superior robots!
