Guild Wars 2

As a person that has no interest in pve. I have to run in these 1 pushing auto attack zergs to complete temples for 30 ore. I have sadly done 4 so far, it is worse then I thought. Blob of people all just mashing 1 and presto 30 ore!.

Meanwhile I just flipped hills in an epic battle that lasted hours and was a blast and I get 4 ore….. Just 4???

If you think flipping keeps for farm is the reason to keep it low. Well that’s easy. Keep a timer on the keep ore just like every other chest in this game that’s once a day.

Please anet, devs.. why must I suffer in these temple zerg trains. I hate pve, I play for PvP/wvw. Its becoming impossible for me to gear up with the hate wvw gets from the loot side of things.

Help us please Devon.

You are our only hope. ><

I wonder if kyuzo was in WW2 riding horseback chucking spears at panzer tanks.

Think not.

A true warrior needs the BIS weapons today, not months down the road.

I logged on Thursday and saw that the Shadow Behemoth was up and I was sick to my stomach. If everyone on that event had logged onto WvW at that moment we would have quickly full-capped a few BL at least.

I hate to admit it but PvE does have more players than WvW.

Does that excuse the lack of WvW development? No, in fact the lack of development is probably a factor in that.

One thing you should note, however. WvW remains the best place to get Empyreals. A whole JP for 3, or you can run a karma train and get 3-4 per a camp and 5-8 for towers.

Sorry ole pal Chris wrong again! The Emp crystals craze is using all your alts for the duck duck goose game in queensdale. I pass.. Ill flip camps.

I am feeling this. I haven’t done any temples yet but I did mine some stuff in Orr and do a Scarlet event with some guildies yesterday. Very miserable stuff.

Having all the PvE players gettin rich off champion farming and Living Story was alright when I was geared and didn’t have money but suddenly I’m not geared and having to buy items that are priced for people who are rich off PvE. If it was just craft one weapon, it’d be alright. But it’s not. Just for my guardian I need to craft just about every weapon, which includes raising artificer and weaponsmith to 500.

Maybe even that’d be easier to swallow, I mean, I don’t have much problem with having long term goals ‘cept there’s a whole armour set coming before the end of the year (which is less than 4 months away).

There’s no reason WvW shouldn’t have at least the same rewards as PvE. Hell, at this point, it should have greater. People been playing it for over a year and goin broke over it.

1 hour of temples today in a mega blob of 80 people = 90 dragonite ore.

That’s only 25 keeps and an Sm cap or 3.

No that was me.

WW2 being Wuv Wuv.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

Wvw isn’t second fiddle. They just try to make it more appealing the pve players

Sure would be nice if a server’s WvW players got a boost (+MF%, +WEXP%, increased T7 mat drops) for each temple their PvErs have open. After all, PvErs get to enjoy the stat bonuses we earn for them by playing in WvW.

They should have used this as an opportunity to get more people into wvw by making the rewards there better, not worse.

Except for the whole ‘20 per dungeon run’ thing.

Pwned.

2nd? It’s behind living story as well as spvp, and probably behind almost everything else too.

wvw gets as much attention as the janitor in a company of 10,000 people- occasionally he is allowed to speak at staff meetings, but no one really pays him much attention and any suggestions he makes are ignored or ‘might be implemented in 2014’.

I have actually done some pve this week. Stand around watching timers. Wait for spawn in temples. As soon as mob spawns, 100 people suddenly appear (nothing like parking alts at each location..), mob melts to ‘press 1’ in seconds, collect 20-30 dragonite, and one or two rares and some cakitten’s terminally boring.

I’ve also done some wvw. Mainly on Gandara, which this week got matched against Riverside (read blob) and Desolation. In the many hours I played today, we managed to flip one Hills, no other keep, and earned a grand total of less than 10 Dragonite, 16 or so emp (I missed most of the camp flips- by the time I reached them we were capping and you don’t get them for capping, only for hitting on the ‘champ’, another broken idea).

The disparity between pve and wvw rewards is just getting out of control, and is aptly illustrated by 20 people logging out of wvw when a scarlet invasion starts.

Who wouldn’t when a scarlet invasion will bag you at least 20 champ chests, a full 100+ drops, a couple of gold and all you have to do is tag everything in sight…..

Goes to show how lop sided the loot is.
Folk in the PvE side of things are kitten ing me off with this:
