Guild Wars 2

How is one supposed to get AP Chests in WVW? The achievements are very limited and many have almost farcical requirements to get. And then what do you get at the highest levels? 25 AP? 250,000 kills for 25 AP? That isn’t going to get that Massive Chest in anyone’s lifetime.

Come on man.

Simply this needs to be juiced. By a lot. In particular I think rank points should be accompanied by achievement points. To the tune of 1-2 AP per rank. So those rare Diamond Legends should have 20K AP awarded for their efforts. Silver should get you to something like 2000 AP over the time you are leveling.

I do agree with you, they should add something as far as ranking goes. Theres only so much you can grind out of WvW AP for people who only WvW.

Agree, there should be AP for rank, I’m not biased at all…

They sure upped the points in pvp awhile back and only gave a small bump in wvw when they straightened out the achievement levels. It would be nice to get more AP for wvw focused players to also get those free gems, gold and skins at the 5K multiplier marks.

Why give the developers the opportunity to waste development time on YET ANOTHER thing that people didn’t ask for and don’t want?

At the moment this thread was created it mean someone DO want it. I, however, do not care about it.

To the OP: I belive the achievment points are meant to show how much you have done in the game as a whole. Sure, they could have added some achievments for the WvW ranks just as there are for PvP ranks, but that’s about it. If you want to farm AP for the rewards you should go do the achievments in their respective game modes (yes, I’m telling you to go PvE) or not get them at all.

If AP are meant to show how much you have done in the game as a whole, surely playing WVW should award AP points on a basis similar to the other game modes. Otherwise AP DON’T reflect what you have done in the game as a whole, only what you have done in PVE and PVP.

What you are suggesting (play more PVE) is simply anathema for many WVW players, especially many of the best ones. Isn’t the motto of GW2 “Play the game the way you want to” ?

Adding achievement points to leveling in WVW simply helps bring this game mode closer to parity to the other modes, like PVP which offers achievements for PVP leveling. Since I don’t have access to the code base I can’t say for sure, but it seems likely it wouldn’t require a big developer commitment to tack on a couple of AP per level.
