Guild Wars 2

So to unlock this tactic is (50) Heavy Supply Bags…
they only drop in the Kryta reward track. They are currently 4-5g each. Upgrade requires 50! So the barrier to entry is 200+g

You would think the pain is over there right?
Each blueprint for a Minor Supply drop requires (50) Flax Fibers… They are currently 10-19s each. That means a blue print is 5-10g

This is an upgrade for a camp. You know camps, the ones that flip every 5-10 minutes?

The best part is you cant make other tactic blue prints till you are past this phase. If you even want to unlock other blue prints to keep WvW upgrades, it takes The next level of paper, which comes at Scribe (75)

Is this really how scribing/WvWs new Tactic system was supposed to work? How many are we supposed to wait for a simple Material quantity change?

On my server guilds barely managed to get to the claiming of camps and I haven’t seen any upgrades slotted in, which makes the entire game mechanic pretty bad since no one is using the upgrades because they are so expensive

It is more than a little odd that the cost of upgrades was removed and then the guild upgrades were made far more expensive. I’m planning to write something about it once I have more time to use it.

Just got to 100 to see that sabotage depot has the same 50 flax fiber need…

Why develop content that wont get used?

This just proves everybody actually loves the new maps, look how guilds are spending all their time in PvE making money to pay for upgrading objectives. That’s why they appear empty.

Seriously though, how much gold do they think WvW players have, or make from playing WvW?

To be fair 200g doesn’t sound that much if you have more than 5 guys in your guild.
Don’t foget that the guildhall upgrades aren’t meant to be completely done within 2 days. They are endgame progession. So it’s understandable that you are supposed to farm a bit for them.
Guild Halls in GW1 also cost a huge ton of money to upgrade so you had to farm a lot of money.

If it were the 200g and done, id be fine. But seruously, 5-10g for an upgrade to a camp that will likely get flipped soon and the upgrade lost anyhow is silly.

I agree this is in deed crazy.

I thought it was 200g and then done?

As I understood it, you pay for the upgrade schematics (ie 200g), then after that it cost guild currency which is generated automatically (ie “free”). Its a hidous cost to begin with for something that previously only required guild currency, but still. When it comes to WvW Anet never does anything good without screwing you over somewhere else.

No, the schematic has to be built for each use. So far both I have seen (supply drop and sabotage depot) have mostly free mats, but both require 2 sacks that are made with 25 flax fibers each. Flax fibers are 10-19 silver. that makes the upgrade 5-9.5g at current prices

heh, that’s brilliant..
