Guild Wars 2

Hello,Im Suzuki in Fortaspenwood.

I have not played for a while but I was surprised that Ascend gears was added to the reward of PvP content.
Why no Ascend rewards have been added yet in WvW ??

Anet what do you think this probrem ??
WvW players is still need PvE grind ( FotM,Raid ) for their gears or wait randomly chest bonus.
It is unfair.

I feel that Anet handles WvW content one level below PvP and PvE.
Anet does not want to pay the price to maintain WvW’s server?
It’s joke,but harf is true.

I wrote it for a long time, but there is only one thing I want to say on this topic.
Add quickly Ascend reward to WvW.

My guess they put in ascended in spvp to make it look more populated.

Not sure if trolling? First post ever and about anot her current thread in forum.

But I digress, PvE isn’t necessary for ascended crafting. I have made 5 peices from 90% wvw nodes….some mats came for 1min in 2 Guildhall a for nodes and maybe 5mins in a PvE iron node circuit per session with the remaining game time (3hrs+ a day) fully in wvw.

It’s a slow process but it is doable. The largest issue is that bottleneck materials are 100x worse in wvw. You drown in ore and wood and even the bottle necks like hardwood / platinum aren’t bad and you tend to get enough of the large quantities required easy enough like iron (I circuit PvE sometimes just to rush process, like iron / platinum and hardwood)

The real issue is cloth / leather…the bottle neck on these is horrible.

I can end a session with 1-2 dozen platinum but 1-3 thick leather.

The proof is that I have 13 Deldrimor Steel Ingot in the bank and can usually make one without farming anything but wvw nodes every 1-2 days and it might take me more then a week to make a Elonian Leather Square.

These are bottleneck mats in PvE too, but it’s just worse in wvw. Granted we finally got cloth and leather nodes which helps but they are sickle based nodes like vegetable nodes and mostly give 1 item with occasional 2-3 vs ore / wood nodes that generally give 3 mats and occasionally 4-5.

Well tbf if the PvP and WvW groups are separate entities so obviously there would be some kind of delay as PvP group released theirs and WvW group has to work on unique skins and balancing the income now.

Nice QQ tho with the 10000th thread on the same topic, they have to release asc armor now

My guess is they are trying hard to push this pvp e sports dream. They most likely want to get the numbers they need to make it look interesting so they incorporated ascended gear, which is attracting to wvwers.

We’ve been asking for it forever, but of course pvp like pve yet again gets the special treatment and wvwers must leave our game mode to get what we want because they are literally handing out ascended gear in pvp.

You’re just a third class citizen buddy, not even second

If the reason it was “delayed” was because of making new unique skins, which I don’t think it is, they would need to be hit over the head with something, because most wvw’ers wouldn’t care about getting a unique skin, they want better access to ascended gear. They can always update the skins later.

The only thing they really need to work on is the price/time to get them.

Stop being paranoid, guys! I’m sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why WvW has been left behind regarding Ascended rewards.

Gaile would not lie! "ArenaNet developers work on, care about, and support the different modes of playing Guild Wars 2 with equal passion, dedication, and interest.”

Very PC and sounds like something my job would post on their website relating to “green recycling”. Unnecessary to tell the public how you care when you are a gaming company. You’re not dealing with tax payers or a board, just providing an video game entertainment service lol

True but from a business stand point…taxes can be unavoidable and a consistent source of income and boards of directors 1 off fire and restructure.

Where as gw2 is a 1x pay to play (retail) or f2p /dl with a cash shop as a trickle income. Unlike taxes, cash shop in a none ripe off game (like gw2) is not pay to win and is completely avoidable.

The income from cash shop comes from either meager advantage (bank slots, extra bags, boosts and unlimited tools) or aesthetic upgrades (skins, pets, make overs)

Incline order to make a completely avoidable income source more consistent you need to work all avenues, in addition to sales / new offers in cash shop, you need to support a happy and healthy community/ customer base. so contrary to managing board members with some semblance of control, gw2 attempts to sway a huge mostly uncontrollable customer base.

So yes, from their pov, being super PC is best course.

Gw2 players are salty and entitled for the most part, and you can’t blame the community of a game for being that way, most of us dropped full retail on core and even HoT. We who still play for years have put countless man hours into this game and we all have a feeling of what our time and effort are worth.

Additionally, as a business you need to weigh cost of projects vs potential profit / impact.

PvE serves the largest portion of the population, game play is catered to the casual and maxing out is easy (80+ exotics, don’t need ascended for regular content ((not including raids and fractals)). That means bang for buck, gw2 has best potential for cash shop profits by using resources to create new PvE zones which makes PvEers happy and likely to use cash shop and anet will lock new zone skins into cash shop.

This is verse pvp…which is limited map and can get cheap quick tweaks to keep that population happy and spending money…

Verse wvw which is a small percentage of population and has a giant list of projects (money to be spent) to make the population happy.

We literally need the maps to all be resigned at some level and revamped. And as you said…wvwers could for the most part care less for skins.

WvW was never a important game mode was just a random place for pve’rs ktrain and fight randomly.
They already did what they think they could do for WvW…

Anet temporary placebo decisions strike again, ascended armor for pvp where players will bail out of pvp after get the ascended armor… lol…

Gw2 the game that pretends… to have good solutions.

Crafting is a mess, class balance is play best gimmick, WvW is ktrain like eotm, pvp is still a weak mode since issues are not the rewards…

Then why doesnt it show? and dont even say it does because it clearly does not have the same atention spvp or pve gets.

Lets see what we got past 15 months:
- Reward Tracks
- Autoloot
- Elite specs
- Commendation system
- Class balanceupdates
- Theres a bit less skill lag
- Borderland changes 3 times due to QQ
- Autoupgrades and new upgrade system
- New scoring systems (multiple times)
- PPK increase
- Server Linkings
- New downed system
^They were all great changes, desert needs to be removed now tho because no1 plays it (check deaths on each map)
Stop qq, theyre doing their best. Programming and designing isnt like “hey ill add this line of code here”. They gave us everything we asked on forums, they made compromises between alpine and desert cuz people didnt know what they want, they gave us autoloot and changed what we can use heroics on because people asked more to do it on.

I bet they will remove desert bl and add ascended armor soon. After that REMEMBER that they do what you ask for. No reason to be negative about it

the new borderlands are amazing in my pov, autoloot, revard tracks, dat pesky nodes to gather, i like everything they did so far. the only “problem” is ascended gear for some players, lets just add a extremely hard and time gated reward track( 1 time a week for example) and be done with it.
the thing lacking is server pride and what do we get if we are Number 1 ?
eh… i realy want some new tournaments that add some prestigeus skins

Meh, they were not all “great changes”.

Autoloot was given to those with the expansion and only in pve, wvw had to complain to get it implemented eventually after release, they even tried to make excuses why they couldn’t do it. QQ made this change happen.

Reward Tracks – Great
Autoloot – Great
New scoring systems (multiple times) – Great
PPK increase – Great
New downed system – Great

Elite specs – Good for the game, terrible balancing for pvp/wvw.
Commendation system – Not sure what you’re talking about here.
Class balance updates – heh 4 times a year for pvp, less for wvw, hi boonshare.
Theres a bit less skill lag – depends where you are.
Borderland changes 3 times due to QQ – So a great change?
Auto upgrades and new upgrade system – depends, it also had to be adjusted after release.
Server Linkings – the substitute for the major overhaul? that I guess will now continue on till whenever, so half the servers lose their identities, players keep bandwagoning.

You forgot implementing cannons and repair hammers. Also the increased condition boon combat gameplay has ruined combat balance game, and frankly the fun of combat that was the number one thing this game had going for it above all others.
