Guild Wars 2

Didn’t want a profitable prize. Happy with the title and mini, but I was really hoping for an account-bound skin of some kind. A warbanner back skin would have been fantastic.

I spend an average of about 35 silver an hour in wvw just for food, with over 350 hours in seasons that’s 122g I spent during that period. My server came in first in the gold league. What did I get for it? About 2g in rewards, ascended mat junk I don’t need, a mini (which everyone got), level scrolls which I don’t need (16 level 80s), a tiny amount of wxp, and a finisher that has a limited number of uses. That’s just silly silly-pants!

Good. Exactly what I hoped would happen.

Maybe in the future people start wising up. We perpetuate our own problems, they announce some stupid reward and everybody hops into WvW, they look at their metrics and go “look WvW is alive and healthy, everybody has queues everywhere! no need to fix anything”.

And so month after month you get absolutely nothing of value, from paired match ups to random match ups to “the epic league” back to random match ups. A massive circle of fail and yet people still chase that carrot.

It is actually impressive. Kudos Anet, I would say you should at least have rewarded a few gems for when people make their next transfer for bad reasons, but that would be silly when they are so willing to pay full price anyways

I don’t think people are disapponted because the rewards are no expensive items or tons of gold or sth., but because it’s nothing unique or at least wvw-related.

I’ve read about ideas like a special dye or maybe a skin to choose… (for everybody) something a bit unique to remember that you were part of wvw s1. I think those ideas would have made people happy because this stuff would have been somehow useful. We got a mini, but… meh…

The other stuff all crap, but especially GREEN items… i mean… Come on… that really felt like trolling players… the whole reward felt like something between getting nothing and an asskick.

That was your choice to spend so much on the OP foods. Your server really doesn’t matter, because anyone can just transfer to the top servers.

Level scrolls and ascended mats are very useful to most players. The number of rewards for this meta are far beyond any other achievement meta. Stop whining.

Did you expect 120g in the chest? Lol.

I have been Blackgate since launch. “OP foods” hmm, I think you meant to say expensive foods. If you think it’s silly to buy the top foods, then you don’t take yourself or your server seriously.

Was I whining? No, most certainly not. I always expected the rewards to be bad, in fact, I didn’t expect as many green items as we got. But it’s a statement about the general reward level of playing WvW when we have a competition and the winner of the highest league still gets less rewards in a 7 week period than a single fractal run.

I also never would have expected gold in the reward chest. But how about some laurels, some blueprints, a reasonable amount of wxp, something a WvWer could use.

Maybe they can make my little mini dolyak carry some extra supply for me, now that’s something I could use!

I agree with Righteous regarding rewards. I am in a Blackgate wvw guild and was under the mistaken belief that the many hours of wvw would result in a nice reward. Aside from “bragging rights” I see nothing forthcoming…just another mmo that doesn’t get it….

The rewards were truly horrendous. It’s akin to getting coal for Christmas. They could at least give us like 10 laurels or something. Two yellows and 6 to 8 greens is terrible. It seems like the WvW team is so out of touch with everything.

For the people who keep saying you don’t get rewarded for playing WvW I would like ask what game are you playing? When I play WvW even if I buy upgrades and siege along with any armor repair costs in a 2-3 hour time frame when i’m done 99% of the time I see I have made 5-10 gold and various mats. The rewards are a problem because most loot in this game has little to no value but that extends to the whole game.

Thank you Anet! The rewards are more than good. In fact, the rewards should not have been this good. Such great rewards will only encourage more people to be doing WvW for achievements and not for the sake of the server’s good. Can the rewards be cut more? Instead of any green/gold/exotic items, let’s just give out more badges. WvW should be more about badges and not PVE rewards. All finishers earned during season should be temporary until the next season starts.

My friends and I joke about the reward being only some blues, greens and pile of Bloodstone Dust because realistically, it’s about right. What I didnt expect was no Badges of Honor, no Blueprints and only 1 WXP potion? Tome of Knowledge is so useless for WvW rewards, those should be given as PvE rewards. Should have given us some laurels, badges and more WXP potions to help us rank up more to gain more skill points to better help our server.

I agree with some of your points. Badges, blueprints, wxp potions, and laurels should be the primary rewards. Leave out the items, mini and finishers (unless temporary). Overall, I say it’s a fair thing Anet did for this season and truly helps discourage achievement chasers.

DeadlySynz.3471:

They can’t give top rewards, all it would do is encourage server stacking. I havn’t checked, are we able to open this chest yet?

I would fully expect either all the rewards to be basically the same for people or perhaps a very slight increase to those who finished in higher spots.

Imagine this, suppose Anet decided to give an ascended to the winner, how exactly does it make the rest of the servers/players feel who have absolutely no chance in winning?

The last time I checked, when people lose at a competition, they aren’t awarded with the same things as what was awarded to the winner. At least when dealing with participants past the age of 5, anyway. It’s just not how rewarding is supposed to be done at the competitive level.

A competition usually means that you cant just all join a few select servers to create stacked teams.

Not really. I am just saying that I would barely even qualify WvW as a competition.

Yeah, the chest was really really disappointing.

I probably won’t bother with it season 2.

Stx.4857:

Are these the rewards for the meta achievement? Or for being 1st place server?

Because if this is for the meta then the rewards are beyond good enough. They are better than any meta rewards to date.

Both. Weird, huh?

This is exactly what wvw deserves and I think I can understand why they did this.

Just adding another voice of agreement to this thread. I played pretty solidly for 5 weeks to get this achievement. No… I didn’t hunt out the achievements the whole time as I was working first and foremost to help my server. Even still, the extra time and effort put in to get this achievement was easily the time equivalent of 3 monthlies which are normally done playing extremely casually in 3 days. The rewards do not even come close to matching the effort. Noone is looking for more power than what is already available… but it really wouldn’t break the game to give people an ascended weapon. Not a fan of having the only sure-fire way to get one through crafting since crafting is the least interesting content in this game. Anet needs to fix their poor item distribution throughout the game. They can do this and still maintain balance pretty easily.

I would have been happy with an ascended weapon, and I really don’t think it would have been any skin of Anet’s back to give one, but at the same time, where exactly do they draw the line? If they dole out superior rewards depending on placement, all that’s going to do is encourage server stacking. You can guarantee a few major guilds will get together and say “OK guys and gals, were going to this server to clean up”

I’m curious to hear from servers who had absolutely no chance of winning, did any of you even complete the meta achievement to even get the key?

Would it have been fair to just have given everyone an ascended weapon who got the key? If so, what about the servers who were constantly outnumbered who had no chance of completing it? Now what? If they decided to give everyone an ascended weapon who entered WvW, well you can only imagine the que’s from all the PvE’ers entering in and probably screwing around.

I would not have complained if I got an ascended weapon, nor would I have cared if everyone got one, but I do understand why they did what they did. Looking beyond our own greed for a second even despite all the work we put into it, you know full well what would happen if Anet gave superior rewards for the winner. You thought server stacking was bad before..

I honestly did not care what I got out of the season achievements, I didn’t expect anything worthwhile, didn’t set my expectations high and wasn’t disappointed.

• PvE players and achievement hunters get loot.

• WvW players get fights and world experience.

Your all putting way too much on the one big chest at the end of the LS for wvw the over all rewards from this LS is both the AP you got from doing wvw (most of the other ap from wvw are the very long term ones that can take years to do) and the chest from completing though AP. The rewards from the WvW LS is a great deal more then ppl are giving credit for its just they did not want to have ppl leave comply eminently handed from running the LS that how every thing in this game is done now and its the best that it done such.

I managed to get friends and other players who generally just PvE come and try something different. They liked it and played hard and contributed 5+ hours every day that they could. Now that they received their rewards, they all laughed at how terrible the rewards were in the chest. One guy said he gets way more than that from a Scarlet event worth 30 minutes of his time. Needless to say, they won’t touch WvW again and there’s nothing I can say to defend ANet’s WvW team.

It’s a total slap in the face with the rewards that we got. I mean come on! It’s disgustingly bad. We averaged 2 rares each and like 6 greens. No one got even an exotic. We got a range of 2.85 to 5.3 silver. Umm, yeah. Totally atrocious for something that lasted 7 weeks.

I participated for 6 hours per day in the first three weeks on my server (blackgate) then had to stop playing the rest of season due to having 21 credit hours this semester.

I came back today after my finals with only half the achievements done for the chest and nothing to show really for the 3 weeks I fought to make sure we would have a lead.

No chest for me is fine I don t really care about gear and those silly rewards but I would have liked a title for having been part of the people who helped. I didn t switch server and I played a lot for just under half the season but I will get nothing but pride for keeping our #1 place rank.

kinda sucks if you ask me that only people who were able to play everyday for hours and complete all the achievements got something. My point is that what makes people who spent more time following a karma train once the season was basically worth worth more than people who thought teeth and nails at the start?

I would hope the Anet looks at their stats. The organization of this season was a disaster. Giving easy weeks to JQ was not acceptable but they still got beaten. There is so much potential for doing some really cool stuff in wvw but you guys seem to want to apply PVE rewards to a WVW game.

I personally do not care about minis and gear or gold. I want something fun like an armory online that would show more server stats and players stats with best wvw players etc. That way guilds could see who are the valuable players. I think you should build server scoreboards for wvw and introduce bounties and merc contracts etc…

Sorry for being off topic. My point is I wish EVERYBODY on the server that participated even if they did not manage to finish all achieves would have something to show for it like a small title.

If you took 7 weeks to get the chest you weren’t putting much effort into it. Length of time the achievement is available is meaningless. Do you guys all complain about living story achievement rewards too? Look how long Tower of Nightmares and Nightmare Within have been running. The former has been up 6 weeks if it’s removed next patch.

I, for one, received numerous rares and exotics in these 7 weeks doing WvW. Would I have liked at least 1 exotic from the chest? Sure, but no biggie.

Totally agree those rewards are completely not worth the extra time.

Finishers should be perm for a season, something more worth while like ascended item/s, Black lion keys? extra wvw ranks? badges of honor? nope we get stuff we would get anyway in 30mins in pve (apart from 250 finishers and mini).

You create 2+ hrs queues in wvw for us reg W3’ers on BG by starting the season,

whats our queues like now after the “rewards”?

One map i got in after 5 mins, another was instant. This is unheard of for BG on reset night we normally have 1-3hr+ queues before the seasons, its now dead…

If we dont see some kind of change coming to WvW season chests you will not only put of the pvers but also the reg W3’ers like myself. Tbh I played no matter what before the seasons but after this first season like many others i feel cheated by this “reward chest loot”.

The seasons got more people to come to wvw, thats for sure, then these “rewards” got them running as far as they can from wvw like Orr….

Im on Kaineng, and me and my guildmates fought an uphill battle all 7 weeks, and as a reward i get 3 greens, 2 tomes of knowledge, a crappy mini ill never use, and some lousy ascended crafting mats. It think it was harder for us to finish the meta, seeing how we were constantly outmanned, had little to no overnight coverage, and an amazing ability to fight among ourselves better then we fight the opposing servers. We would be on for 6-7 hours each night fighting our hearts out, i and several other commanders pulled all nighters to try and stop us from losing everything. And it is a complete disappointment that we were rewarded for our 7 weeks of hell with less then 5s in rewards. we all had the same meta, regardless of what server we were on. The only thing that this “reward” accomplished is ensuring that more and more people will lose hope in WvW and stop entering, or transfer out, killing our server even more. Unlike most people i have respect and pride in Kaineng for the fight we put up. I knew our 7th place reward would be bad, but i never expected it to be this bad.

i think its more than enough. you got a lot of achi points, a title and had fun. more reward motivate players to move top 1 server. personaly i think we dont need more population unbalance.
i suggest give reward for doing things. killing enemy, doing events. do more, gain more

Dont be shocked if they start selling wvw “reward” chest keys in the Gem Store.

the reward is pretty… disapointing. but unacceptable, is a bit much.

I am happy with the mini dolyak. Though, I really thought that the winning servers would be the only servers that got it(for each tier). other than that, I’d still be doing wvw like my usual self. and the achievement grubbers will go back to doing whatever giving them achieve… and leave so that I can enter my wvw when ever I want and not have to que up anymore. over all, happiness.

from black gate here, no complaints.

ps. today at reset, NO QUE, IT WAS GLORIOUS!

The only unique “worthwhile” item was the dolyak, but It looks bland compared to the gemstore version that was brought out simultaneously. It’s just so….wrong.

This was the perfect opportunity to make effort/skill count. Not some 1 week thing, no it required weeks of dedication and coordination in the face of hour-long queues.

The ball was dropped on this one. Hard.

I think the real problem with the chest wasn’kittens contents but our anticipation of it, and our expectations. We knew about the mini, and we knew there were “rewards based on server performance.” Then we carried this mysterious key around for a while, sometimes weeks, and it got built up in people’s minds. Sort of a Christmas morning fantasy that could never live up to our imaginations.

I don’t understand people who thought we’d get ascended weapons. That’s totally off the scale. I do understand people who thought we’d get a unique weapon skin or something, because of the special key. But actually the chest was more in line with other achievement chests, except for the little detail of us wondering and imagining about it for so long. The key was just a way to show we’d done it while we were waiting for the season outcome, but we gave it more weight than that.

Lesson learned, anyway. We got a mini, a title, a tonne of AP, and a little bit of loot where otherwise we’d have gotten nothing. The ascended materials were a nice touch, not unlike the meta reward for Fractured. The rewards weren’t unacceptable at all, we were just expecting more.

I spent 20-30 hours to get the Season One achievements. After my server got third place, I was looking forward to something. After opening the reward chest this morning, I found stuff that you could get by farming for 20-30 mins.

20+ hours of effort to get 20+ minutes worth of farming… why ANET WHY!!?

I do not post in GW2 forums and this is my first because I am angry. As a casual player, I am so DISAPPOINTED, FRUSTRATED and just want to say Bad words as much of my effort and time had been wasted. (I even bought my last 5 WvW exp from laurel vendor to get achievement Like I said, I am just a casual player)

Anyway, I feel stupid for getting those achievements as half of them are not even really helping my server win. !@#$ this!

Vatlaaw Fierceshot.5713:

I dunno if being on a server that has a population that greatly outnumbers the competition counts as strategy

Sitkaz.5463:

I don’t understand people who thought we’d get ascended weapons. That’s totally off the scale.

I did (indirectly), the liquid wxp rank’d me up and the chest had an occam’s ascended chest :P

I think also that the WvW season chest must contain more WvW stuff, like 10 Blueprints of each except golems maybe like 2 or so, 250 badges of honor, more wxp for like 5-10 levels and like 5 laurels.
What you now got from the chest is like what you get from a dungeon/fractal.
So buff it up to what WvW people can use in WvW.

As I wrote in an other thread: “Really underwhelming… didn’t expect much, but… the longer I think about it, the more I feel trolled: All in all it’s about the reward of a successfull Tequatl + 100 fragments and the consumables…”

I didn’t expect much monetary gain or a pile of rares. But what I do not get is the lack of wvw related stuff! At least they could have added things like:
2-3 wxp-ranks for all + some depending on rank
wxp-booster
x superior blueprints of each typ + some depending on rank
traps
maybe some laurels (or even better guild commendations to help with ascended accessories)
x-y badges depending on rank

And last but not least a less limited finisher…250 uses, thats 2 weeks tops for a regular wvw’er! I really thought it would be time-limited… (’till the next season, for 2-3 months…)

Season 1 is over, and I’m still waiting in que for EB at 4:30 AM. Been in que for a half an hour so I decided to check the forums while waiting.

Good riddance to all the people qqing greatly about the rewards. WvW existed for a year before leagues started. We play for the fun of it. The fact that we got achievement points and rewards for doing our normal gameplay was great and appreciated. The existing WvW achievements are impossible to get. But even still, we play for fun.

I personally got my key on week 4. I got them all from natural play except for the mercinary camp thing, which I never finished. I just had to go out of my way for the jumping puzzles.

As a commander, I can not tell you how frustrating it has been having to stop at every sentry because I will loose half my zerg If I don’t. I’m sick of not having people on my tag or people not in TS. From day 1, we had to argue with people in map chat about not letting the enemy flip objectives so we could flip them back. Good riddance to all of that. Forget about being a commander, as a follower, it’s just as frustrating.

I personally think the rewards are fine. Too great, and we will be flooded with even more PvEers who will clog up maps that are finite. Too little, and you will just upset even more people. Me, and everyone else though the rewards were going to be much less. I thought it was nice having scrolls and tomes of knowledge. My only gripe is that the dolyak finisher should be permanent untill the end of season 2. It’s a great trophy, and I want to be able to use it all the time, especially in season 2. I don’t see how that would be hard to do.

WvWers care about bragging rights, winning matches, fights, fun. We don’t need these rewards to play the game. They show appreciation for our participation, so Thanks.

The rewards are good, I just laugh at those bandwagoners

I think it’s a decent reward for the achievment hunter bandwagoners who played for 3 days to get their AP and loot.

Crap reward for players who actively contributed to their server for 7 weeks.

And yes /laugh at people who transferred hoping to get big rewards, the amount of gems they had to spend to get here and then they get some rares n greens… ouch

Dear anet, this is so unfair for me, because I do finish the event but I don’t get any chest, I know I was in different country when the event starts, I do need the chest, that’s why I finish it so soon, please make an update for it.

thanks.

Hello everyone
Please keep this conversation polite and healthy. Thank you for your understanding.

Unacceptable anet…. pathetic

Yes, reward was disappointing.
Remove league from WvW completely please. And let us go back to -real- fighting istead of this stressful achievement-hunting. It’s wasn’t such a great idea really to go for -offensive- achievement hunting in WvW… If anything it should be rewarded to be defensive.. But rather not at all really. Just let us enjoy a good fight.

I personally was disappointed with the chest simply because it wasn’t WvW focused enough. Definitely better than other LW chests in the past have been, but this was the first WvW LW and I expected the results to be more WvW centered than “make me rich” centered. Should have been liquid WEXP and siege or badge focused… And possibly a skin with guild emblem… That would have felt like a good reward for a WvW achievement.

Better rewards for top place servers should be limited to the finishers, which probably shouldn’t be limited use. That’s really my only complaint.. Not that it didn’t make me rich but that it didn’t feel game mode appropriate.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

I spend an average of about 35 silver an hour in wvw just for food, with over 350 hours in seasons that’s 122g I spent during that period. My server came in first in the gold league. What did I get for it? About 2g in rewards, ascended mat junk I don’t need, a mini (which everyone got), level scrolls which I don’t need (16 level 80s), a tiny amount of wxp, and a finisher that has a limited number of uses. That’s just silly silly-pants!

It’s funny how some of you completely disregard everything you got along the way.. or are you trying to say you got zero drops, no rewards for event completions etc during those 7 weeks? This doesn’t excuse the lack of unique and WvW-focused rewards ANet should have given, but it’s frankly a bit disingenuous to act like you walked away with nothing but that reward chest.

I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular but getting just greens and yellows is insulting.

If you completed Mad King’s Clock Tower during Halloween you got a chest with unique exotic piece with stats of your own choosing.

Why couldn’t we get something like unique exotic backitem with option to Ascend it with Badges of Honor and some raw mats in Mystic Toilet?

Saddest thing is that those who had to fight hardest for the meta achievement got the worst rewards. I hear some 9th position server players got only one green as equipment reward.

Unique only in name.
The skin already existed long before the Clock Tower.

So I found that one of my posts comparing the drops in this system to Diablo 3 was deleted and I suspect a number of other people’s posts were deleted as well.

The rewards in this game are terrible, and frankly it’s disrespectful toward the player base. I play WvW for the sake of WvW, but that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like to be occasionally rewarded for it.

I was inclined to make a gemstore purchase to support the game, but this WvW reward chest is just another reminder of how hard you try to push people to purchase gems for cosmetics.
