Guild Wars 2

Was there changes to rewards for champion kills in towers and keeps?

Some are incorrectly pointing to a reference to EOTM to answer yes but no direct mention of genuine BL’s or EB was listed.

“Reduced Edge of the Mists rewards.

" Reduced event karma, gold, experience, and world experience by 25%.
The number of Badges of Honor awarded for capturing an objective has been reduced to be consistent with other WvW maps.
The chests that spawned on objective capture containing badges and ascended materials have been removed.
The Badges of Honor and ascended materials are now dropped by the objective’s boss instead."

I don’t understand why this would be implemented if chests were to be removed.
This would be a complete 180 of the view that wvw players should be able to earn a little something without being FORCED to pve to earn. No one could actually say they got rich off keep and tower and keep rewards unless by chance a good item popped from them. I have earned a few chest every once and a while but most of the time zero chests drop off of tower and keep champs. Could this be a bug stemming from the EOTM changes?

Also I" have been seeing keep lords bugged and patrolling outside keeps lately.

Anet need to update the daily rewards for WVW or put ruins back into the game as well as veteran creatures.

UPDATE: It seems there is a harsh dps check on earning a reward for killing champs in WVW. This is strictly an anti casual player implementation for those who are solo by choice or by misfortune. To fix this issue join a group if you can.

It’s actually easier to get credit before because the lords apparently scale with health; it was possible before for zergs to just overrun the lord and you couldn’t even land a hit.

There is one case though— the SM lord; many people reported not getting credit— even for the cap despite being on the circle on reset night.

However, you should party up regardless of loot.
