Guild Wars 2

Should a new WvW reward track system be developed to replace the current Bag-on-Rankup system?

Been asking for it for years…….

I think the current pvp rewards system is well designed to attract potential pvpers to try out the mode more with specific focuses and targets.

The WvW rank system does exactly the opposite, IMO. It’s aimless and often forgettable. You get titles that only your enemy sees and probably doesn’t care about anyways.

I would suggest on talking about the how if you want one.

Yeah I have no idea what Arenanet were thinking when they introduced this backwards system of only the enemy seeing our rank, the enemy should not know our rank…. and we should be able to show it to our allies. We should at least gain titles for Bronze, Silver, Gold etc that can be chosen at the top of the achievement menu, same way we can choose Legendary Champion etc.

As for WvW reward tracks, well I’m all for it.

I would imagine our titles are hidden to allies to avoid that “Oh, he’s not even bronze” comments that are sometimes leveled against people when stuff goes wrong. Of course, that’s dumb since rank rarely correlates with wvw ability beyond maybe the first 100 levels as people learn. I would know that myself.

That doesn’t stop it from being an optional display or a selectable title of course. I’d rather be a “legend” then a Gold raider. For the most part, I think I stopped caring after I maxed out most of the important stuff.

Reward tracks pulled me into pvp. Finally finished Arah collection. So many more to go….. I would rather do it in wvw, but not an option presently so pvp it is……

Ditto.

I would love WvW reward tracks also for the fact that it could let me have better access to some of the dungeon token runes, and maybe some PvE acquired stat recipies, to try some build ideas.

Of course it should, the sPVP reward tracks are the best reward system in the game, it beggars belief that they can’t see that it should be applied to WvW as well.

I’d like to have reward tracks and rank finishers. I have dragon rank from pvp but I would like for wvw to have a seperate set of finishers as well.

Reward tracks could be a way to reward people based on how much they accomplish as a team rather than just karma train kekeke. Make a system that takes snapshots of ppt to predict how many points your server will obtain during any given tick and give out reward track progress to everyone participating based on how many points they got relative to the target.

By giving people short term targets they can feel like they’re doing more than just being a drop in the ocean and by basing it on a glicko prediction we can even out population factors and we could even reward scouts and defenders. The only problem is that ppt play is still mostly pve.

And another reason why they should prevent enemies from seeing your rank:

Every WvW player ever:

Yeah that’s their commander, the Platinum Raider, the highest ranked player there!
