Guild Wars 2

LOL!

Are you trying to force us to play HoT in order to get more hero points or something? Oh well that’s fine I got everything I needed without having to waste time on HoT.

I thought I read increased.

Yeah I read “decreased” for some reason. Guess I’m just used to them nerfing stuff lol

Lol me too about the nerf stuff

They still kittened it up if I read everything right.

- Now it doesn’t work anymore to put them in the bank and use it with another char
- Chests are now soulbound, so you only get proof of heroics for the char you WvW with
- Because the chars I WvW with are all fully skilled I have no use for them

Yes, they “fixed” both of the “bugs” so now we can all thank them and go back to experiencing their “vision” as intended. It’s really nice that they prioritized these bugs, you can’t say WvW is neglected anymore.

/sarcasm

Well at least we can use our guild auras that we grinded PvE for. Oh wait, not in the patch notes.

Hate to say “I called it” but the entire account bound chest thing looked like an Anet oversight and one that they would prioritize as a fix. Hopefully players abused the Proofs while they could.

Good news, now players can stack XP and Proofs that have zero use on their WvW characters.

I heard you liked jungle excursions.

You realy should rename this threat.
7-9 per chest it seems its now easier to get hp in wvw then pve.

Players can get a full Elite spec in PvE map raids in a few hours. With boosters players are looking at around ten or more game play hours to unlock an Elite in WvW. Problem is they now have to do it on each character they want to unlock rather than just play WvW and slowly unlock all the Elites.

Not saying it is unreasonable but for those of us that run fixed team builds it is more constrictive.

The only want ppl get full elite spec on the pve maps is to have some one port them to the hp places. Beyond that you got to have mastery point a lot of them that takes days of work.
It this and nothing else WvW before HoT had no real HP and a small reward for rank up. After HoT WvW reward players with items that give you HP and map completion for rank up much higher but with a bug. That bug is fixed AND you get even more rewards for rank up.

The first elite is typically the longest in PvE since players need to unlock masteries to get everywhere. Masteries are account bound so followup elite specs fall quickly. Do a couple PvE raids in the area where the mesmers are porting everyone around it is goes crazy quick.

A friend unlocked his elites doing one each night. It is VERY possible to PvE the elites extremely quickly.

I did mine via WvW and can tell you that earning roughly 750 WvW levels at around 4 per hour takes nearly 200 hours of typical WvW game play (assuming B-Day Gift and XP Booster). If they have doubled the Proof output players are still looking at 100 hours of game play stretched across multiple characters and that assumes they have enough B-Day gifts to shorten it since B-Day gift bonuses are soul bound once used.

Really? No.

Because a normal player gets about 4-5 WvW ranks in one night (like 3-4 hours) without boosts provided there are fights.

Good luck making a Herald in WvW exclusively. You’d have to run a bit of Tyria / HoT. The alternative is EoTM.
