Guild Wars 2

I recently did some math + (Screwed with times to fit an active player’s timeframe) and I found out on average, it would be about 1.0 – 1.5years of a player building siege all day long…. multiple hours every day… to even get this title that requires the player to use 2.5m supplies. Was there a reason for this? Like, to make it impossible for the regular wvwer? Its kind of silly that some of these achievements are so high. I have over 1500+ hours of WVW and less than 100 SMC caps. The achievement requires 100k+ I believe…. Some of these are just plain stupid in the way that Anet made them. Even if I was playing this game 10+ years from now, I don’t think that I’d have a single one of these (Except kills). Anet really needs to change this.

True, but some of these are so stupid that they couldn’t be achieved after 15+ years.

Exactly, and this post is talking about those who will put 8 hours a day into ONLY doing ONE thing for the whole achieve…. which is 10 points and a title. If I’m correct, spending 2g to craft cooking 1-400 is 40-50 achievement points…. Anet didn’t really think about these, did they?

I wouldn’t mind if the achievements had multiple titles, one on 1k mark, other 10k and so on. Being an Apprentice Yakslapper sounds fun.

Yep exactly, I spend most of my time on GW2 in WvW and only have 81 achievement points from it, when I could just max 2 crafts and get the same amount of points in 30 minutes. The 80 points from wvw that I have got should really be 500+ points.

Great! I can’t wait for these changes! I hope it will give more AP to WvWers and more people will be interested in completing the WvW part of achievements.

As general as they are, it’s awesome to see that the community asked for dev responses to reassure us that they’re listening and now, one day later they’re doing it.

You may not give away the details, but I appreciate the fact that you’re at least listening to us!

Thank goodness, and thank you and your team for addressing this Mr. Carver.

Good to know. Too bad you said exactly the same thing (or if it was another from the anet team, sorry) 3-4 months ago. How long will we have to wait? Months? Years?

I would like to say thanks to all the WvW players who do the thankless task of refreshing siege,repairing walls & gates,scouting and upgrading buildings,building siege etc etc day after day.

It shows how much you love WvW and deserve a title to show your dedication to your servers cause.

We know a lot of people only waltz in to get the kills and glory and then log off without a care of anything else.But to those above, you are all part of the success.I salute you for your efforts.And take pleasure to help you out when ever I can.

Hey! Maybe it’ll be in the feature pa…. oh.

Not in the feature pack eh?

Even though there are enormous queues on many servers, the devs are either totally turned off re: WvW or terrified of changing anything in case it breaks. Especially now that Habib Loew and Mike Ferguson (and probably a string of other devs we don’t know about) are gone.

NECRO’d!

Almost had me believing a dev responded to a recent WvW post.

The power of the Necro is strong in this one.

Performing necromancy on a 9 month old thread is about the only way to see a red name lately I guess… Sad

At least we get to see the exact time it takes for anet to do something. One if the posts even say they said the same thing 3-4 months before that one. So 1 year later and I would bet it will be another year before they even consider what the new achievement numbers will be

What you guys say + 1 new title. Siege polisher. You gain points for refresh sieges. More time you give to the siege more points for you.

I’ll never understand what’s so hard about fixing those achievements.

lol this dev adressed this 9 months ago and said the archievements are "absolutely out of character with the rest of the game and we will be addressing that. "

seriously^^ ….. 9 months ….

The unpaid intern they put to work on this probably just isn’t with them anymore, bringing progress to a halt.

Lol… quoting my 9 months old post feels kinda sad… Or rather – we passed the “sad” stage, now we are in the “pathetic” one.

edit: And Kaos, better edit/delete your post, or you will get 2 infraction points for being disrespectful to the anet staff, I can’t send PMs for pretty much the same post as you.

It seems to be very hard to get rid of 1 or 2 zeros on the achievement requirements.

They’ve requested that we be patient – in perpetuity.

Its all about the Chinese release.

WvW will get some of the long standing items addressed when the time is right. Maybe that will be as soon as those million Chinese users do the math on how long it’ll take to get the WvW achievements.

In the matrix, nothing is as simple as it seems.

but sad part is this chinese guys like the grinding and they will love this archievements^^

You know what? We should necro all the “soon” threads that never happened.

LOL true story

There’s another thread discussing this same thing called “WvW Achievements are unrealistic” over on the sixth page. Guess how long ago they said they would address it?

So Anets version of “Soon” is about half that of Blizzards “Soon”. I can live with that.

PS. Love the necro

Something is definitively wrong when you cannot even fix numbers.

Why, tho? I think he was being respectful to the unpaid intern who was the sole staff on WvW.

The titles and achievement point values for WvW play are absolutely out of character with the rest of the game and we will be addressing that. What form that will take specifically I am not entirely sure.

Make an CDI out of it ?

On a personal note: i think with the math i would go as follows: 10 years of playing roughly 4 hours a day should bring you the majority of the titles.

Now if only they would focus on coverage vs. coverage ;P

You did realise Devon’s reply (and the thread) is 9 months old now and still nothing has been done, did you?

Still waiting on some wvw updates, Anet crew. It’s been a year, and all that’s been done is trashy LS and gemstore BS.

And you will still wait. Bringing dead threads up won’t speed it up. Have fun…

OMG great news! …

What has become of our dearest Devon Carver?

for kitten’s sake, how hard can it be to adjust some achievement numbers and titles?

cmon guys

It’s been 4 months since Devon has posted anything, and that was only to announce the beginning of the spring tourney. Utter silence since.

Has there been any progress on the wvw titles/achievements.

eithinan.9841:

I guess we will have to wait and see what we get in the feature update.

I thought we might get it in the first feature update, but nope. My expectations are low and steadily getting lower.

Rewards in general for WvW play are out of character for the rest of the game. What do you think of having the reward track system added to WvW? It would be a great gesture.

Sorry I have to laugh. It took them over a year to give us (soon) golem mastery and colored tags what makes you think we will get any meaningful changes?

Even the age of his thread proves how little Anet thinks about us. Now if they added a WvW only cash shop I’m sure we would see more action, but until then don’t expect miracles.

Colored tags arent even a WvW Update… They were most likely made by a pve dev team for pve commanders.. would explain the price..

I stand corrected, so we are getting golem mastery only as an exclusive WvW skill.

yea.

He’s currently busy being skewered and roasted in another more recent thread.

I have to say though, the guy has remarkably steady hands. It must be hard to take aim, knowing that when you pull the trigger you are going to shoot your own feet.
