Guild Wars 2

The ranks for WvW needs to be account bound because at the moment, I feel pigeoned holed into 1 character otherwise I’ll never get a higher rank. At the moment you need 600 ranks to max out everything most likely another 100+ for the upcoming patch. Also you can’t even redo the points you invested.

A-net needs to make make it like sPvP ranks where it’s shared among all characters and allow resets to points allocations.

Or, you could not give a natts chuff about your rank and just play on whatever character you are having most fun on at the time, or the one most suitable for the situation at hand.

You should delete this post. Anet made it clear they want it to be for independent character progression. Also non of the upgrades give you a over whelming advantage.

You should remake your post requesting to have a rank point respec! This is a much better idea! people will work hard for these ranks and should be able to respec them for a cost.

This same point was made over and over when WXP was introduced, and I agree with you. It’s anti-alt. At the very least, the award of WXP should be account-bound, and the spending should be character-bound. That way you aren’t totally borked by playing an alt.

Doubt we’ll see a change though. WvW needs a treadmill, and WXP is it.

Just run the zergball capping things and don’t play defense with your alts….whalla you have a ton of WxP now in less than a week. WxP is not in a good design currently so you are pretty much forced to play the mindless game of zerging b/c Anet wants to include everyone in the reward versus actually incentivizing people to learn how to add value in WvW by holding structures and benefitting the team. I personally would rather have half the population attempting to defend and hold structures vs. all the PvEr’s letting them get flipped and recapping behind the enemy. I hear this approach more everyday.

With regards to WXP and Rank I have a couple of questions:

- Why not have Rank visible to allies and/or attached to titles? This is the case in sPvP, heck I can see their sPvP titles when displayed in WvW.
- Why not have WXP account bound? If it is logical to assign WXP to a specific character in WvW, why is Glory Rank not assigned to a specific character in sPvP.
- Why is WvW continually treated like the red-headed step child? (This is just a general question.)

Cheers.

Since Ranks doesn’t really affect anything I don’t care. I have 3 characters I play equally and each is on Rank 10ish.

Exactly, i think most WvW palyers dont care anymore and WvW is just a filler until TESO launches. Cyrodiil looks to be bringing everything we wanted from DAOC and all the stuff WvW missed

Actually in my opinion it should have been the other way around. Glory rank(and now the new sPvP leadarboard rankings and the rating not shown which determines your ranking) should have been character based since someone can play on a different skill level on different chars(classes) and it would be a problem if someone with high sPvP rating tried a new class he was not that good.

Not a problem in WvW with the big zergs where 1 person does not matter that much(as compared to the small 5 person teams in sPvP where 1 person affetcs the outcome of the match a lot). WvW it should be account bound.

Also regarding your other question: I think they make the most money with PvE. Same problem is with sPvP… where people complain and want more maps, game modes, …

With the Custom Arenas planned they want somehow to make money with sPvP lol…

I don’t think this will work. Most money will come from PvE and selling stuff every few months at special events like Wintersday or Halloween. That’s where they put most of their human resources.

This we can agree on.

Really – wxp makes zero difference to your character. Zero.

Still, by the basic mechanics of it, WxP is not alt or builder friendly. It reinforces the Zerg/no defense mentality.

As someone with many alt’s in WvW, I’d appreciate my time in there to be accurately shown and rewarded. Not diluted down to insignificance.

You can’t complain when you only have three characters to rank up! Try ranking all 13 of mine

From my point of view, as an altaholic, it’s frustrating not having something to show for my dedication to WvW. Having the flexibility to fill any role at any time far outweighs that though. Also, just because I’m a high rank on my Elementalist, doesn’t make me a good Warrior.

+1 for point respec though!
