Guild Wars 2

Are WvW rank chests supposed to suffer from diminished returns? I just went up a rank on my necro and I got 5 badges and then 3 badges from his second chest. This is a pretty crappy system if it’s working as intended and it’s stealing siege, badges, money and loot from me if it’s a bug.

it would be RNG, I thought from the initial dev comments that we were going to have a good chance of getting good loot but it looks like the chance of anything good will be extremely small.

I only got badges though. I didn’t get badges + siege + loot. Just badges. I don’t think it’s RNG. It’s diminishing returns.

Like ArenaNet would actually let us have something cool

They said its going to pick 1 player each month to steal that guy when they open the chest. This month was you pal, sorry.

I think the bigger issue is the number of people not getting the chests rewarded for previous rank.

Do you think it matters if you get a chest or not when both chests combined contain 8 badges and nothing else?

The drop from chests are really bad… I opened 4 chests… i got 4 greens… I think it should be at least one rare, ranks don’t come every 5min…

Why should this be any different than the 2 champion chests (killed the tree today – got 4!!! badges for a 20 minute fight) or the ‘new’ and ‘improved’ JP that won’t affect queues – did it today and got 2 greens, 2 pieces of siege and 7 badges – that’s just sad for a once per day account lockout period.

WvW has always gotten the short end of the stick. We’re an incidental add-on!

4 badges from the champ spirit is already 4 badges too many for a PvE means of earning badges.

7 badges from the jump puzzle is also 7 badges too many. I’d prefer if the JP chest provided nothing but siege.
