Guild Wars 2

Wait, wait just a minute !
Did I read that right ?
It’s not a permanent S1 finisher ?

The S1 reward chest better pack an uppercut punch !

Disappointed to the max.

250 charges of the finisher

Mini dolyak
5 skill points
10 levels
1 exotic
3 rares
rest greens

not too surprised at the rewards overall, but they should have had at least 1 item that was permanent. Like an NBA ring. You win that for life, and can always look back at it.

Would have been nice to get a ticket to pick up a season 1 ring skin that gives your hand a small glow based on whether you are first second or third.

Or if we have to go simple, put a Season 1 on the finisher and make it infinite.

Feels like a kick in the teeth, after fighting hard for weeks the winning server gets what an hour in PvE would give.

I was REALLY hoping that the finisher would be permanent, but nope. 250 finishers later and we may have well come last in the season and filled our bags with PvE goodies instead.

Really dissapointed that the finisher is limited… 250 is really not much, this will blow through very fast. I was really expecting something permanent for winning the season.

something more permanent was definitely needed here seeing as this was a 7 week venture. a unique skin of your choosing would have been an ideal reward similar to their achievement point rewards. very disappointing to see a bunch of extremely common farmable materials rather than something unique. im not going to regard the mini dolyak as anything super exciting

Devon already said the finisher would be temporary until Season 2. However, I was hoping the “a stack of …” description in the original Season 1 announcement was just poor wording. It should have been permanent until Season 2, then wiped.

Poor choice Anet (in my humble opinion).

So… The WvW Season 1 Chest rewards = 1 hour of Champion farming in Frostgorge Sound.

i think a lot of people were under the impression that the finisher was going to be permanent when this reward was initially announced. I know they did clarify that it was a limited use item a while back though which basically sapped any excitement of actually obtaining it

Well, the disappointment will last.

I expected the finisher to stay until next season. Isn’t that how gold capes worked? You had to keep winning it?

Meh all the servers that won spend most of their time zerg balling anyway and rarely stomp so those will last. I am glad the rewards blow so much, maybe people won’t stack servers if, god forbid, there is a second season.

If only this was announced before the season started to avoid this QQ ing…. Oh wait

Well taking a look at the other side, some people in WvW said that it would be a problem if it was too good, and attract pve people too much.

but yeah they could have been more permanent/creative.

could have made weapons/items that only have cool effects in WvW.

Too perfect…..

Did anyone really think the rewards would be good? I mean this is WvW we’re talking about.

But yeah its actually good. Maybe people won’t stack next season.

this ^^ would’ve been better than a stack of finishers for sure !
you can keep stomping till season 2 starts !

if we whine and QQ enough they might see the error of their ways.

undefeated BG, Glad to know all our hard work has gone to waste..no more giving a pewp about leagues. really the finisher cant be permanent?

Actually, the gold trims were permanent. The silver and the bronze ones, however, only lasted until the next championship.

Well maybe this will get people to step back and reflect on wither it was worth the cost to transfer to stacked servers and thus gut other servers. Then we will see what happens next season.

Tbh, I’m surprised anyone thought the Golden Dolyak Finisher would be permanent. I mean, yeah, that would make a lot of sense, but at the same time… THEY SELL FINISHERS FOR REAL LIFE MONEY IN THEIR STORE! Arenanet isn’t about to give the most highly populated servers in the game the best (arguably) finisher available and go “As your reward, you can hold onto your gem money. No need to buy finishers anymore guys!”

You know what they don’t sell in the store? Green weapons and armor. I think we all knew we’d be getting plenty of those before Season 1 even started.

So… yeah. I think Arenanet is making a great argument for bringing back the subscription model in MMO’s.

i believe the spvp finsihers were permanent, and it would make no sense for them to sell placement finishers in the store at all.

this is just ridiculous…I though the finisher was permanent…I mean, not that that would have left me satisfied, the reward is very poor, we all know that, but the finisher not permanent…really??!!? so that I play season 2 (instead of creating a new finisher for s2)? no, thanks.
@Anet: really cheap cheap cheap shot

Waiting for the first 20 minutes of reset against t1’s to use all my 250 dolyak finishers.

So… The WvW Season 1 Chest rewards = 1 hour of Champion farming in Frostgorge Sound.

In fact, this is so true that it hurts.
