Guild Wars 2

Are they ever going to add something for rewarding the weeks winning server out of the 3? Doesn’t have to be an imbalancing items or anything of real value. Just a reward for winning, cool temporary skins, titles, glow…ANYTHING. For the people who don’t really care for bragging rights as it is now with server rankings? For people who like to see an ingame inscentive for constantly capping keep after keep, other than the little stat bonuses to farming.

This would get me back to GW2 in one fell swoop. I love the game, from the combat mechanics, artstyle, graphics to almost everything. But the lack of in-game substance or feeling of accomplishment when it comes to the constant back and forth battle in WvW, is monotonous for me. Please make this game something I have a drive to play!

How, exactly, would you place metrics on this? Would you blindly reward the first place winner of that tier —of all tiers? If so, what is stopping people from even more server hoping just to get their flashy new reward for their “hard earned participation”?

I, too, would love to see those who deserve a reward get one.. but how do you measure who that is? Kills? Repelling the enemy? Was it you that actually did all the work to get that kill? Were you one of the many scared people who just sat dumbfounded watching the enemy storm your keep when a handful actually did the work to repel them? How would Anet know?

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Orbs brought back, but instead of their old buffs, how about changing it up. Why not have the Orbs give you the current “Outmanned” buffs, and then those with the actual “Outmanned” buff get the old Orb bonuses? No need for the siege commanders then.

The winning server of EVERY 3 server match up for the week. Pretty clear I thought, nothing to do with place in tier ranking, only who wins the server vs server vs server match up that week.

Anet has already said they intend to make server transfers into a paid service, they should do it when they put these rewards in place. If you are really willing to pay $15 or so, to be on the winning server by mid-week of the match because your server is losing…then it’s up to you.

The reward would be given to EVERYONE on the winning server without regards to participation, and would be something temporary that can be used for the entire week after the win. The reward would be something that does NOT give any benefit that would mess with balance in pve or pvp. it should be something that most people would really like to have, whether it be an amazingly cool skin, or something else.

That’s actually a pretty good idea. Doesn’t have to be buffs like you said, just a new “toy” to play with. It would have to be limited to those that actually play wvw.

meh, if they introduced a better way to gear up via WvWvW, i could see this being useful to hand out the gear pieces. but id rather them just give out special titles or something
