Guild Wars 2

Why not make wxp account bound so I don’t have to pick 1 character for wvw instead of being able to play alts if i want to. I don’t want to hear anything about wanting the game to be too easy either that’s a weak argument.

Since you can’t reset your WXP ranks abilities it would be a rather big issue if you want different abilities on different characters though.

if you have all your ranks one 1 account that wouldnt be an issue. if you have 40 ranks on character A and 20 ranks on character B. then you would have 60 ranks total. So how is that an argument. Both characters would have access to everything they had before and more.

But it is quite possible that it would be impossible to have different specs on different characters in an account-wide feature. Which would mean that character a and character b would need to have the exact same things unlocked.

Well that sounds like two things to fix, doesn’t it?

I agree. I think that the WXP trait system should be account bound but you be able to chose different skills for each character. So your rank is account bound but the skill points aren’t. So if your rank 100 you would have 100 points to spend on each character.

The reason for this is that you might want different skills if you have different roles for your characters.

Also someone mentioned resetting your skills which is a bit off topic but agreed with above. That is just two things to fix. WVW skills should be viewed like traits. You might have to visit someone and pay a negligible fee but you should skill be able to do it

I am not sure on your logic with this. It would give you more then you have now. If you have 40 pts on a character and 20 on another how are you losing to be able to access the whole 60 on both. The different spec thing makes no sense. Yes you would have the same thing unlocked but your getting more then before since you have any other skills unlocked that you already have now.

Alright. I’ll make it clearer:

Character A is used for running around taking camps and such.
He will most likely spec for guard-defense and guard-damage.

Character B is used for taking towers, keeps and stonemists and will most likely have spent more on the different siege masteries and supplies.

Character C is used for defending and holding stuff, and he will most likely have spent most points in repair, arrowcart and oil-masteries.

See the issue here?
Sure at first all these 3 characters would have the same stuff, but later on they would have to focus on only one of the three at first.

No your not being clear. Your doing that now. If you play A then wxp to A etc so you are choosing NOW if its account bound then you get to use ALL of it ALL of the time.

If your on character B and want to spend your pts you earn in there fine but all your other character get the benefit from all your points. Your choosing now by playing different characters in wvw.

Learn to make hard choices….wxp should NOT be account bound and should NOT have a respec.

I just dont want to be limited to 1 character in wvw.

You won’t be limited to one character.

There are two types of people: those who enjoy playing nothing but one class and those who like to play multiple classes. I personally have total wvw rank of over 400 but none of my characters are above r140. It’s stupid that players are forced to play only 1 character or else you’re weaker than others. Having wvw rank soulbound is basically as ridiculous as a system where you would have to change characters every 10 levels or you can’t get more wxp.

Wxp ranks giving stat boosts are the problem.

There simply should not be stat bonuses of that nature.

Calm down with that kitten, it’s a game. Some people don’t have mains and enjoy playing multiple characters and the truth is, not having some of the rank skills makes a character less effective in some WvWvW activities.
