Guild Wars 2

i just would like to say that the badge system in wvw is kitten on every level possible i can kill 50 players and get 2 badges while someone who kills 10 can get 20 badges and have the player that does less work get more badges and can get the items from wvw quicker. now i know its a random drop but its to kitten uncommon if got 1 every 2 or 3 kills i would be ok but i have gone hours on wvw to only get 1. i should at least get one every other kill. and if anything up the price for the armor along with the drop rate. at this point it seems almost pointless for me to open bags on the floor when all i get is useless needles or a crappy blue items. its just a really kittenty system

Do you run in a party while in WvW? Do you play a support build vs. a DPS build? Those are two of the biggest factors concerning badge drop rate.

Run in a group, focus on aoe dmg/fast switching targets. You’ll get your badges.

that shouldnt be a kitten factor thats just kittening kitten ( not mad at you just the stupid system )

Um Catsia and Butch, care to explain that in more detail? Sorry, I’m not to familiar with the wvwvw badge system.

For whatever reason being in a party = more drops overall in wvw. I have tested this, others have tested it, run around solo = very few bags and generally worse quality loot, run around in a party = generally more loot bags and a higher % of better quality drops.
Its also been tested and proven high DPS = more loot, a quick search and you will find many support/healer build players lamenting the short straw they’ve been dealt.

Another reason for running in a party is you earn more influence for your guild, especially if its a guild party.

well shouldn’t they change this

What the kitten kitten man this kittening kitten kitten of a kitten system is kittening me up what the kitten ANet I can’t believe that you kittens would kitten us like that.

On topic… First response after OP would be my response to this as well.

Kittens are adorable when they are kittening kitten kittens kittened kitten kitties!

KITTIES!!!!

OP: did you intentionally misspell “maltodextrin” in your username?

The whole system of loot/ rewards is poor in wvw

I think drop rate should increase a bit, but not necessarily badges. Badges are fairly easy to come by, I feel, and like others have said, if you want an increase, use AoE.

You can specialize and get a high-spike, low reward…
Or you can support, do a lower amount of damage to a higher amount of enemies for a higher reward.

You get to choose the specs, so I won’t fault ANet for it. :/

Or you can go full support to help Ur team win and get almost zero rewards

Full support guardian here. I get my 121 slot inventory filled at least once an hour.
I have made around 1200 badges in the past 4 days.

All you have to do, in order to get a lootbag:

Hit the person. Just once. For a guardian that might be easier (due to the staff AoE), but overall, everyone should be able to hit people with AoE’s.

I play a full Cleric’s Engineer using Bomb Heals and Elixir Gun and just amass my bags with loot, rares, and lots of badges. I also use my Full Cleric’s Guardian with shouts and get tons of loot.

The drop rate used to be way worse up until about a month ago.

support warrior, took me 2 months of 30+ hrs a week of wvw to get 1200 badges. don’t even attack most fights just spam skill 2 on heal banner. 10/0/30/30/0 build doesn’t do much damage anyways

Healers seem to get shafted in terms of pvp rewards like this in alot of mmo’s. So far though anet has come up with some pretty good and out of the box fixes for very conventional problems.

It’s not about doing high damage, it’s about contributing to that players death, thus rewarding you with the lootbag.
