Guild Wars 2

iam on borderland and my warrior only gain a few bars of exp after hours of playing. And he only level 9 now.

need better exp gain in here. kills are fun, but not rewarding.

cant solo capture anything for exp.

please make leveling in WvW more reliable.

its already very reliable seriously

JemL.3501:

No, its really not. I gain a level every 30 mins or so on my guardian in PVE.
When i go into wvwvw, since we have almost no ranged attacks, and dont deal enough dmg to really get loot — our exp is limited to whether or not I get into a siege equipment and a few events here and there.

Its not that good for guardians.

We should get exp for healing/assisting. More exp.

JemL.3501:

not when you playing on a map that has no capture points.

iam level 9 on my warrior, and we cant do any more capturing at this point. total non stop pvp now for hours. only gain a few bars from the keeps we did take.

hours in PvE is a few levels. but in WvW that can mean no exp at all.

Have they returned XP to Caravan escorting yet? I know they took it down not long back, but I don’t know whether it’s been restored.

no its not back.

And i hope they never return the exp gain to dolyak escorts or we will have people only doing that.

Escorting a dolyak is a helpful thing to do in WvWvW. It rewards XP and karma appropriately. If people aren’t doing other things, preferring to exclusively escort dolyaks, the problem is with the other tasks.

No, the problem is that you will have 10 pvers escorting 1 dolyak that doenst need to be escorted just for the exp, when they should be helping protect or get keeps etc… They are called dolyak farmers and they are taking pvpers spots, and that is why Anet removed exp from dolyaks escorts.

Defense XP:
You must contribute to the kill of an enemy OR you must repair a wall or door AND the enemy must do damage to a wall or door. So fighting out in the field is worth almost no XP while a proper defense can reward a great deal of XP.

Offensive XP, of course, you just have to capture the thing. Running around with a small group flipping supply camps is easy and popular. Kill dolyaks along the way.

You can also kill the solo guards and flip NPC camps (quaggans, ogres, dredge, etc).

I went from 2-80 in WvW (about 98% of my XP was from WvW. I only went into PvE to farm up some skill points). Basically, WvW is good XP if you do it right.

If you’re not getting XP then you’re probably doing something wrong. (If your team has pushed both other teams completely off the map then what you are doing wrong is playing on the wrong server…)

…As I said, the problem is with protecting or capturing keeps. People will gravitate to where the credit is.

If the WvW action is hopping, then experience and loot flows fairly fast. The problem is of course that during off peak Hours, the experience will suck.

Low level characters are at a disadvantage even during peak hours and the leveling is slower than PvE. I think that until level 11, it would be painful.

I’ve been leveling only in WvW since level 7. At lvl57, I’m fairly flying on my way towards 80. When I was level 7, it was a crawl.

Just my 2C.

defense exp is the best

One day on stonemist some treb in wildcreek I think? Was hitting the wall. Prompting the attacker event even though no one from that team was near the wall. I’d rush over and repair it. Go get more supply and so on. The treb couldnt damage the wall fast enough to deal with the supply income we had, but they kept firing it, which meant every 3 minutes I got gold medal event completion.

So thanks nameless invader and your trebuchet!

Ya, why do that when they could be fighting the grub!

I honestly think the leveling in WvW is quite alright actually. I leveled from 78-80 in a little over an hour a few days ago, all you really need is a well organized group that utilizes efficient startegies to attack and defend keeps. I mean, 41k xp for taking a keep is alot!!
