Guild Wars 2

Will there ever be a way to reset your WvW abilities points? I spent points in abilities that I would like to change.

Nope

You want that AC mastery, don’t you?

Well they should have been reset when they added that. Other games do it.

normally I’d say no.

But if Anet are going to offer real game changing power to ranks, then they shoudl be reset when changes are added to the system.

AC mastery is just too powerful, and should never ever have been added, but since it has been, a reset was in order.

Coming soon to the cash shop…

Honestly though, the WXP system, like the Ascended system is at such odds with the original design of the game, a reset will probably cost gems. (Unlike traits which can be reset for a few sp).

I would love to be proved wrong though.

Yes, changing the rules of the game should provide a reset of the points.

With the new AC rules, a ballista which should absolutely trump an arrow cart on single target damage is actually less effective and less dps than an arrow cart does. So the points someone put into a ballista are fairly wasted at this point.

I was shocked that they put that kind of a radical change in without providing a refund. It hurts no one and can only provide a more fair playing field. Or is this another way of Anet screwing you with RNG? They randomly upgrade something to god status and you better hope you either didn’t spend your points or put them in the right place!

I agree, a reset is needed.

I would like to see this as a permanent feature, the ability to reset Wxp abilities, just like we can with traits…so we can modify our build in WvW just like we can modify our traits.

I am okay if it has a similar cost to reseting traits, perhaps with the ability to pay with badges of honour, as well as gold because its WvW…

I have been wanting to reset my spent points for sometime now. I have a new alt that is focused on AC, I have one that is going down the ballista line and one that is going down the siege bunker line. I want to reset the points on my alt that is going down ballista due to putting points in reduced damage from guards that I spent while I was leveling up in WvW.

I originally was going to build this toon to be a camp flipper but realized too late that I did not need these points to do that and I would like to have them back to spend where they would be of better use on my ballista!

I personally hope they do not add the ability to reset points.

The AC changes are destroying the game as it is, imagine if everyone was allowed to reset their points and go full AC mastery immediately? At least this way ANET gets some time to fix the change before it gets even worse.

I might view it differently if WXP was a challenge or effort to get, but when you can just go faceroll tagging in a giant zerg of people, its not really that big of a deal to earn more points.

It, for me anyway, is not about getting all my points back so I can OMGWTFPWNBBQ! on an AC. I want to put points into ability lines that are useful. Right now I have a character that has reduced damage from guards but I run with a group all the time and I never have any issue with guards. I did while leveling in WvW so I put the points there to help in leveling.

But now they are a wasted investment since guards are in no way a threat to a level 80 in full exotics. I do want to fill out my ballista line though since that is useful and actually allows me to support my group during keep offense/defense. If Anet plans on buffing guards up along with the other siege changes they mentioned they are planning to make then I could see a point in keeping them.

But I am allowed to spend money to reset my PvE traits, which are not hard to acquire either, to meet the needs of a particular group make up or my own change in playstyle, why not be able to do the same with these traits?

The whole system is a poorly veiled carrot on the stick to keep you playing WvW.

Because the absurdly impossible WvW titles were a bad motivation in itself. Thinking people are going to play Guild Wars 2 – let alone WvW – 10 years straight is down right arrogant in assumption.

Wish they would design the rewards for WvW to be fun as well as being reasonably obtainable and not simply an artificially lengthy grind.

Well, AC are so OP now that the AC trait line is the only one worth taking. Glad I saved my points.
