Guild Wars 2

I love playing in WvWvW. From drops to exp it seems to be balanced across the board. But other than the Invader set there really aren’t any unique items to be gained from it. What I was thinking is having a weekly added to the game that corresponds directly with WvWvW. It would just be a list of simple activities that add up as the week goes on. At the end of the week on server reset totals wipe and you can start again. The list could look as simple as this:

Score kills on hostile invaders
XXXX/XXXX
Smack the opposing Yaks
XXXX/XXXX
Capture sentry points
XXXX/XXXX
Claim land for your home
XXXX/XXXX
Defend or capture Stone Mist
XXXX/XXXX

Obviously the list I presented is just an example. The would weekly would be geared to promote a well rounded WvWvW player encouraging them to take part in various activities.

Lastly would be the main reason why someone would want to take part in this weekly that doesn’t even do WvWvW at all. What would be inside the chest. Give it drops that are randomized and drops that are consistent. The random drops could range from crafting materials to special WvWvW skins to legendary precursors (note if they ever did anything with legendary precursors it would need to be a low chance). The consistent drops would be simple like some gold bags and karma liquid.

This is just something I personally would like to see in the game and I’m really just wanting to throw this idea out there to see what ya’ll think and how they could make it to be fair and reasonable.

Not stonemist please. It would just encourage players to desert their borderlands and to give up stonemist to take it back later.

Well it was just an example. I would honestly hope if they did this the list would be extensive so it wasn’t something you could finish in just a hour or two invested in WvWvW.

interesting idea! but i would urge them to be very deliberate in terms of what these weeklies would be if they really were to implement something like this in the ffuture. i.e. don’t have them in a way where it would cause people to lose focus on what WvW should be fundamentally, soley in order to get these chests.

just quick e.g. the achievements tied to the Snowball PvP actually discourages team play to achieve (just from reading the threads on it).

Well if one of the achievements is to guard a supply camp I can’t really see anything that would cause someone to abuse it. If the place is constantly under fire and your holding them back then its not like your team is losing a player given that the other team has someone attacking you. If you just waited all day for someone to come along making yourself useless your probably not going to finish the weekly.

I would think that it would encourage groups to form or follow commanders so quick captures and aggressive play style would be learned and taught so you could finish the weekly.

Gutted! Saw thread title and hoped it would be a Christina Hendricks thread.

In principle, the original post is a good idea but I agree it would need some very careful tuning so as not to be abused.

No idea who Christina Hendricks is but thanks for the support. I agree with the tuning part if not a complete overhaul. I would hate for anything to ruin WvWvW. It’s not flawless but it sure as hell seems to run very smoothly. I would just like to see players get rewarded for their efforts and encourage some who wouldn’t dare to try open pvp to give it a go!

nice idea.
i hope there will 2 type: daily and monthly such as pve or spvp.
especially for the lower tier that would encourage people to get into WvW even when you lose (monthly)

Good thoughts for sure. What would be cool is if they made the daily literally 1/7th of the weekly so to keep you on pace if your a minimalist.
