Guild Wars 2

In the last few weeks I’ve start WvW play. Onlybecause of the fact that the one thing this beautiful game has for us who bust or buts to get a weapon that isn’t controlled by an outstanding factor. Now i need 500 badges of honor, which as for what they can be used for i know shouldn’t be a simple task. But at this point for the the last 2 weeks because i want my legendary weapon ive been in wvw for 22 hrs. Out of those 22 hours i’ve actually have 43-45 badges. 22 of those badges have come from player kills. so thats 1 badge an hr. The rest of the badges have come from killing the grub boss a total of 6 kills taking about a total of 10-12 mins per kill. Now i admit im not a pvper but i bust kitten to get things that interest me in great games like this. What im noticing with the wvw pvp is that to many player i shoot with bow in an unobstructed open field and within the range of my bow. All i see from 65% of the players are obstructed, out of range and evade from my shot in an open area. which simply leads me to believe people are cheating. I’ve never used a forum before but something needs to be done because in all truthfulness the game should be fun. Now i have loads of fun busting kitten for all other items for my legendary. But i dont wish to spend 500+ hrs getting an item from wvw when its no really fun when things like im seeing happen.

You know you can get badges of honor from the jumping puzzles located in each area right? Borderlands drop 4-8 (and it is different for each Borderland) and Eternal drops 6-10.
So that’s like 18 to 34 per day PER character (since they are account bound) as long as you have the chance to get in there. If you’re team is holding all the map, jump in on every toon and get it done to get those badges. Should only take 1.5 hours tops to get all 4 done.

Alternatively I was in WvW the other night – played about 2 hours, got about 40 badges and 100 odd kills. It helps to be part of some organisation and playing your role well in that group, whether it be big battles or small group capping camps.

Thank for the info Meadow but the jump puzzle was where I started and noticed that was just as unpleasant as not getting the kills for bags. It was even more unpleasant if not frustrating when i was almost there 2-3 times and got killed. Almost everytime iv gone in the jump puzzles in wvw there is a group or more farming them.

As for joining a group of people like you said that was the controlling factor i was talking about. i was raider in other games having to depend on others for high end stuff. Seems like gw2 made that go away cause evn tho im not in mass guild i still follow the mobs in wvw and get 0 for all work put in.

ty again for info

I feel your pain… on top of that, I’m in a server that’s loosing all the time but not enough to drop to lower ranks of WvW and also my guild is more focused on PvE. I’m not either a great fan of PvP. Getting 500 BsoH is just pure farming it seems…
