Guild Wars 2

so in Expansion players get:

Legendary Backpiece from sPvP and PvE (Fractals)
Legendary Weapons from PvE (Story,Masteries aso)
Legendary Armor from PvE (Raids)

WvW playes get what ? nothing but Badges that you cant use on anything worthwhile at all…. no Legendarys in sight, havent heard much about new rewards except maybe a new Skin. Seriously a new skin ? so we get from 1000-s of Hours what EVERYONE can get from TP ?

Anet stop ignoring the 3rd Game-mode and give us something real in reward, give us the chance to get Legendary something in WvW…. maybe Legendary Trinkets should come from WvW mode ?

My hopes are up for something to come, think of golem week and how that encouraged everyone to spend as many badges as possible.

I doubt they’ll bother sadly, knowing them even if they do they’ll screw it up somehow by making it so that only the three highest ranked servers get a reward or something as if it takes skill to get there.

Just play PvE like you have done before and you get your legendary reward. Of course it will be harder kill some raid boss than some keep lord, but you can do it if you stop staff 1 spamming.

Give Legendary back pack for completing Yakslapper achievement.

When thinking how wvw players work, isn’t 10 man raid too small to zerk it. For wvw players there should be atleast 40 man raids which they can zerk through.

New! Complete all achievements in wvw for a bonus! Your choice of account bound precursor (because we know you don’t get the mats to make the legendary in wvw).

Get cracking, only 990,000 yaks to go to complete the first of those, then you can start on Stonemist flipping and in the year 3015 earn your shiny precursor!!

Legendary food with +-80% condi duration.

What, how could that possibly go wrong?!

We get a new map? /hmmm

WvW should create a line of weapon skins or gear based on WvW rank. Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Mithril are great rank titles but I’d like to have a shot at a Legendary maybe. An exclusive backpiece or weapon skin or unique piece of armor that can only be acquired in WvW and only available based on your rank.

PVP has the progression of stomps. Dragon being the top. So why not set us hardcore WvWers up with something people can’t buy or make anywhere else?

I never understood why all three BLs had to be identical. I like Eotm or EB for being differnt. How cool would it be if all three maps were different from one another. Sometimes I have to look at the spawn to see what map I’m on since they are all cookie cuttered.

Because if they were not one would always be better than the others and thus the server having that as a home border would be at a mechanical advantage.

I dont play PvE it dosent intrest me, kinda my point yet I spent over 6000h in one of Gw2 game-modes for no reward that even comes close to what PvE-players get, is that fair ?

Fuzzion.2504:

New map, you say, mark my words, ppl who really like WvW, only, gonna regret they ever asked for this new map.

We still cant reasonably acquire ascended weapons, armor or backslots in WvW, and a bunch of runes are still restricted to dungeons. What made anyone think there would suddenly be a way to get a Legendary?

Seems pretty clear to me that WvW is considered by the devs as an extension of PvE, and they believe that everyone who plays WvW mainly does PvE.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, Golem week encouraged players to retain their badges because many chose not to log in.

This is absolutely needed. The biggest issue I see with it is the EotM heroes that would have these rewards 10 times faster than BL heroes.

Most of us just don’t spend enough time(any time) in the other game modes to get these rewards that go along with them. I spend my time in WvW. I can barely scrape enough mats to make ascended stuff let alone grind for a legendary if I somehow get a precursor to drop(3 years no drops yet).

The bottom line is that WvW, as a game mode, seems to be something ANet sees as a time killer between fractal runs or whatever. I really think that whoever they have up there looking at WvW truly believes that WvW is totally casual. How they believe this I have no idea, but until they start making some moves here I will continue to believe it.

The problem is that the wvw point system is broken.
It’s sad that kill a guard is better than kill a player

i dont mind not having legendary stuff , but it would be great if they would give us rewards that are worth spending on the thousand of badges i have, like really , you dont have to make the rewards as good as in pve but make them good enough to spend the badges on , to many ppl have ten-thousands of bages rotting in their inventory waiting to be spend on something good

We will probably get a legendary armor skin :^]

Yes. 1000 times yes.

I would like to see reward tracks like they have in PvP.

I spend more money in WvW thank i make out loot/champ bags (food, oils, siege etc)

WvW gets nothing, of course. Nothing good, I mean. Broken Golem Week doesn’t count.

Didn’t you get the memo? You wvw so you’re suppose to be REALLY INTO Pve.

I like how they were so happy to reveal their roadmap, the new expansion for zones, raids, masteries, guildhalls for pve, and the new season and game mode for spvp, and not even a token mention for the new wvw map.

But it is what it is, should expect that type of thing from Anet by now.

You’re kidding right? generally I find wvw players are more skilled than pve players, making use of dodges, and getting out of red circles, having faster reaction times, etc. Hitting lord with 1 ain’t no different than hitting world bosses with 1, maybe the raid bosses will be harder than killing players at least, but who knows might just jack up their health so much it turns into a 30 min fight and call it hard.

We got mistforged skins that were exclusive to wvw tournies.. Too bad people that do not have enough tickets will probably never get one seeing as I doubt we will ever see a tourny again since so many claimed it ruined this game mode.

People that transfer and stack are what ruins this game mode for others.. Not events or tournaments

@Xenesis yea I dont get this either how Anet sees us WvW-players as PvE’rs. They have a yo casual view on WvW and we dont, all from GvG,Scrims, PPT,Zergz,Smallscaleing to Solo Roaming a huge part play only or mostly WvW yet we get very little love from Devs.

And to answer some: ofc Iam not suprised we arent getting anything, yet aslong as CU isnt here I will still keep hopeing for Gw2 to give us something.

Eh, you guys already have legendary achievements, seriously, you see someone with yakslapper and you know that guy is serious and the envy of all! #Entitled.

Ok joking aside, would be nice to see some improvements to WvW like easier access to rune combos and stat combos with badges.

I’d especially like it if you could buy ascended trinkets, armour, weapons with badges and a bit of gold. Not more than 10g per item.

I’m not one to complain about rewards for playing a game I enjoy, but the WvW rewards are terrible in comparison to the rest of the game. I stopped worrying about the rewards long ago and just play for the fun of it.

With that said, I do think it’s time to have a Badge Vendor in the home BL that sells Sigils, Runes, Ascended mats and/or armor/weapons, finishers exclusive to WvW, and make WvW armor and weapons salvageable; at least for runes and sigils if they are worried about converting badges to mats.

I hear you on the precursor. Three years and I won’t say how many thousands of hours in WvW and not a whiff of a precursor lol. But WvW is anything but casual. You can’t hang in WvW if you are casual. I know really good PvP players that get wiped in WvW. It’s a beast. I hated PvP in the beginning but now I train in there on other classes because I can’t do that in WvW. There is a toughness and battle hardened aspect to a WvW player that none of my Fractal, Dungeon, PvP friends have. I can wreck thieves in PvP on the whole but a roaming thief in WvW, good luck. ANET should look at WvW as where the dedicated nuts are and let us have something different and more meaningful than spamming and stacking in dungeons and fractals.

I’m at the point where I would like to see Legendary armor exclusive to WvW, if for nothing more to see all the PvE players have a melt down so maybe it will finally sink in what it’s like to be forced to play a mode you have no interest in.

Map completion in wvw.
Badges and wvw ranks for legendary crafting.
Results?
They are no longer needed, ’cos somehow anet read the forum..

I agree with most of what’s being said. Without regular tournaments, we are severely limited to the mistforged weapons. There should be other weapon skins available. The WvW armor no one wants because we can’t salvage it. There have been many great ideas in the forums about a possible reward system.

But I have to object to some peoples seemingly knee-jerk complaints. I have ascened mats coming out my kitten , even though I still consume them with Maudry and Princess. Ascended gear is easily attainable, but instead of making it, i sell some of the mats and make a lot of gold. I craft other things to make gold, I flip things on the tp to make gold. I get lots of rares and exotics in WvW. Sell those to make gold. I sell my greens and make gold. Basically, between all that, I never have to run a dungeon, and my crafting time is nominal, and I have enough to buy a precursor after a few months. If a legendary is really what I wanted, I would never have to enter the new pve maps in HoT, so I don’t understand what all that complaining is about.

Tier 1 is the Legendary Reward if you work really hard!

You’re missing two things with this.

One, a lot of what you’re presenting is on a personal level. Not everyone plays WvW the way you do, not everyone has the same RNG as you, and not everyone has the time to do these extra steps you go to. And, even if some people are exactly like you, why should they? PvE and PvP both have a viable option for transparent and up front reward system. I do path _ of _ dungeon and I will get _ amount of gold per day and tokens. If I do the _ PvP reward track, I’ll get _ and _ tokens.

Secondly, you absolutely would have to enter the new PvE maps, or/and potentially PvP, for the new legendaries. They are accountbound on acquire, i.e. no buying them flat out.

Wait, so the precursors for the new legendaries are account bound? Are you sure? That’s preposterous.

Tao.1234:

Give Legendary back pack for completing Yakslapper achievement.

Actually, if that was scaled down to something reasonable for a human to achieve, I’d be fine with a GW2 legendary version of the original: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Yakslapper

There would be crazy complaints about grinding though, even if the numbers were reduced.

I’ve never understood this need for PvE skins and stuff from WvW. The only reason I wish the drops were a bit better is that it would make it easier to afford wasting gold on upgrades, traps, and blueprints. Yeah I got some weapon skin from one of the tournaments. No, I haven’t used it.

I can understand wanting ascended, since the stats are an improvement over exotic, but afaik the legendary weapons have the same stats as ascended and the latter are far cheaper to acquire, so I don’t get the appeal. If I wanted PvE skins to parade around in, I’d play PvE.

The ability to change the stats on your gear on the fly is a huge bonus for WvW. Different styles of play require different stats, solo, Small Man, Zerg, GvG, Organized Zerg busting. They all require different stats to be the most optimal, that is why Legendary is better then trying to craft several different sets of ascended.

Spurnshadow.3678:

“We also want to better preserve the prestige associated with crafting a legendary weapon, so the new legendary weapons, and their precursors, will not be tradable.”

The new map is essentially PvE where you can kill people so I’d imagine you’ll be able to earn the PvE rewards there as well. ANET hasn’t announced the final plans.
