Guild Wars 2

Now with the new WvW Ranking systems many people are going in different directions and will have different strategies. The obvious currently for getting fast WvW levels is too flip camps, do quaggs, sentries, and dolyaks. The huge battles are tons of fun but many want to focus on their individual level at the moment. What is the highest rank you have seen or heard about so far and what strategy for spending your points do you think you will head?

Well my friend is 8.

I am at level 6

The highest in our clan is 22. I am wondering if anyone is higher than 30?

My rank is 20, highest on SoR server (that we know of) is 24.

18, To my knowledge, highest on NSP.

D:

It’s harder in the lower tiers.

Ascii.9726:

Going for supply cap I see?

Oh… a 5, a 3 and a 1. Swapping characters and acting as a scout tends to be detrimental to ranking up in WXP.

Most possibly, alot of people in Tier 1 are saving there points until we know exactly what is the best to level up (i.e. most game-changing/ bugged ect)

Rank 2 Ballista Mastery with Rank 5 Siege Mastery for 30% more damage on a Superior Ballista does seem to be pretty deadly.

I prefer not to Zerg and I’m on tier 1 (mega Zerg tier) or rank 3? Rank a night for the two days I played this week.

Depends on your class.

I am an ele, so my job is CC/aoe/healing, not necessarily the best to be sitting on a ballista, I let the heavies do the dirty work.

I am going for guards simply because if these zergs calm down (Which they are starting to) I can always flip camps 5% faster for faster Wxp

r27 here……………………

5, 6 and 3 (three different chars). There seems to be a bit of a wall at level 5. I think Im going to try to specialise in certain functions for each char. I think thief is best with damage/health against guards and farming NPcs. Not sure about Necro, Im tempted to go Siege damage, but I think Ill go supply. I have around 33k health on my Necro so I was thinking they may be better to operate rams etc, but their abilities are really based around supporting ram players with condition removal, healing and marks on walls.

Should rename thread to “What’s the size of your kitten”

Wow! Congratulations mate, Good Job!

This makes me wonder if I am missing out on tons of experience by not being a t1/t2 matchup. I’ve been WvWing every second I can since the patch and I am only up to rank 7 -_-.

Where is everyone finding the majority of their WXP is coming from?

(are the lack of bodies to kill in t8 hurting us that much?)

That player is in the T4 match-up.

Around lvl 5-7 on a number of alts (yeah I ain’t gonna stop playing them all just because Anet wants me to)
It’s a broken system anyway. Just got to rename karma farm to Wxp farm and we are good to go.

Anet missed an incredible opportunity to reward the guys who defend those camps, buff those yaks, build oil, and all those little things that make those wooden structured turn into actual fortifications.

Zergballin’

I mostly roam/scout/sentry, but a great majority of the wxp I have so far came from running with a big group, either killing other big groups or quickly capturing objectives.

Also, I have multiple characters I consider my main. The two I have taken into WvW since the patch are both barely rank 5.

I’m 0.
I don’t care for it a bit.

A thief is the highest rank in WvW? Nowai!

Not really. Someone just sat around since the patch and rode the zerg around and/or jumped map to map killing yaks and sentry guards…it’s easy….if you really want to waste away your life doing it.

A million times this…. THIS!

Building up a broken cannon/oil should = WxP. Repairing a gate is currently the only outright “defensive” thing that currently rewards WxP if a tower/keep/castle is defended or lost.

Someone awesome (Hydro <3) suggested that there be WxP based yak escort upgrades that people could build on yaks such as a potent flamethrower. Give people that want to escort yaks and sit in towers on sentry a reward or small advantage like the current system rewards zerging!

level 80 – Coral = Level 9
level 60 – Urrid = Level 6

This is playing a lot in T2.

Then you would have people repairing garrison walls against trebs for hours long wasting all our supple when we don’t want you to repair just so you get some wxp? No thank you, way too many ways for this to be abused.

I guess that is the result of playing the best “tag class” (thief), being a commander and leading blobs for 24/7. Or am i mistaken? O.o Coz i don’t how else you got to r30 this fast haha!

Enlighten us!

Who is the highest engineer and on which server?

9, but our server isn’t running karma trains while others are steamrolling our maps.

Yep.

Also, I’d like clarification on why this is player based and not account based? I’m sure it’s out there somewhere…

Straegen.2938:

Actually the thief is one of the poorer tag classes with limited AoE.

I mained a thief and let me tell you, it’s the easyest class to tag with because of shortbow auto-attack. Cluster bomb spam is also handy. Dagger Storm says hi as well!

Maybe staff guardian is even easyer tho.

Thief is by far the easiest class to tag with. Dagger storm alone tags like 20 people lol let alone short bow auto attack with cluster bomb.

Yep.

Here comes a Pyramid Thread of agreement! I concur with the honourable gentlepersonages above.

I just run around and hit every downed enemy one time. Lot’s of wxp.

I still think ranks should be attached to account. Not sure why sPvP is account but WvW isn’t.

A World Rank 50 player of WvW knows his WvW even if he starts a new character, he still should have some reputation carry over.

most my wxp isnt from killing zergs.
it all comes from flipping keeps/towers as fast as possible with as little resistance as possible. it is only possible because of the tier my server is in and as soon as we move up/if we move up, this will no longer be possible.

also tagging isnt the best option. zerg busting the same group over and over again will reward u very little.
you need to rotate which servers zerg u want to hit and space it out so that when u do hit them you will be rewarded with 40+ wxp

Sound like this rank system is even bigger joke than i thought.

Just reached rank 30 with my engineer

i have 5 characters, 4 of them are lvl 80 and the other one is lvl 33. im leveling my alt atm and he’s r-6, my thief is r-5. i dont care about the ranks this isnt going to stop me from playing my alts.

and with rank 30 … u can carry 1 more supply! yeah! ><

If it’s possible to max everything, highest should be around 600? Unless you start getting more points per rank at higher ones.

And almost nobody spended his ton of points. ROTFL
It seems its worth to farm WXP in that way, so you can show it how big is your e-p..is (rank), at least

Yeah, as much as I would love to see these kind of things rewarded with wxp, people would ruin it, I’m afraid. And not a few people, but massive numbers. There’s a reason why escorting Dolyaks currently gives no rewards whatsoever; you used to get karma/silver/xp for escorting Dolyaks, just like any other event, until people figured out that Dolyaks could be used as a never ending karma train that way! We ended up with massive zergs of 50+, often 50-90% of the entire que for a map, just running Dolyaks back and forth and nothing else. I remember seeing nearly an entire week’s matchup, right before the Dolyak escort event rewards were removed, where all week long we had 3 Borderland maps that stayed full-capped at 1 color each, because once the Dolyaks had somewhere to go, each Dolyak seemed to get its own massive zerg assigned to it running non-stop, leaving little to no room for an organized guild who wanted to play for points to all gather on the same map.

We essentially have the same thing going on right now, with massive zergs flipping everything in sight, and asking people NOT to upgrade, siege, or defend anything, because they want to lose each point so they can come back and flip it again. But even this is less disheartening than seeing nearly the entire que for a map walking dolyaks in day after day.

If they can figure out a way to prevent this kind of abuse, however, I’d LOVE to see people being better rewarded for actually working on things that help the server, such as upgrading, repairing, and so forth. I’d also like to see the tag-based reward system reversed somewhat; currently, WvW gives greater rewards based on the number of people involved, such as giving MORE points to s large group killing a Dolyak than you would get for killing the same Yak with a small group (or solo). This really should be fixed, so that a Dolyak always gives the same number of points when killed, or gives more points based on how small the group is; example- 10 points for soloing a Dolyak, but only 1 point for killing it with a group or 10 or more. Right now it’s the opposite of this; currently you get 10 points if 10 people tag a Yak, but only 1 point if you solo it, so groups smaller than 10 are actually penalized, and hurt their server by costing them potential points.

I have a level 9 engi, war and a level7 guard, necro and I got most of them defending our castles

I’ve a question here, How is this supposed to mean anything ? Hey seriously it’s not like the traditionnal leveling or SPVP, there are ENORMOUS differences between servers in population, tiers, classes, and whatever ?

We’ve nothing to compare with this guy, and that’s why I can’t understand what’s the epic thing in this?

and btw the system is badly designed with the character bound system and so on !
