Guild Wars 2

Why not, PVE people get their dragons and bosses for loot and money, these seem like reasonably difficult targets to reward large chests for WvW players.

Of course you keep the 1 chest per event per day in effect so there is no keep trading. But you have a possible 4 chests total over the BLs and EB.

losing a fully upgraded garrison/SM to recap it for the sake of a big chest?

blowing away a couple of gold and hours to get that stuff back up for the slight chance of something orange in there?

please not.

I agree with the sentiment (we should be rewarded just like PvE). However, this would change the meta a lot. Target priorities would shift. In the end, we would probably not like the result.

Unfortenely those chests do exist… For the grub, the arboreal spirit and whateverbossexistongreenarea… Would be good to have’em moved to the objectives tho, people don’t usually bother with the 3 chests from EB.

I don’t think any sane WvW player would ever do that…

eh, maybe only if it was fully upgraded when you took it, then you would get a chest cause there are times when garrison’s will get flipped multiple times in a short time span

You mean because Garrison and Stonemist are not important enough or rewarding enough to take in their own right? I can’t see how a chest would have any positive effect on the meta of the game at all.q

I would like to see a bl wide boss on random timer that drops an orb of power and big chest. The orbs of power stats change to a 2 hour buff for the faction that holds the orb 15 supply from all supply camps and siege does 25- 50% more dmg. If the buff is to much you could make it effect regular siege only that way you could use normal siege with the same effect or slightly better than that of sup siege for two hours.

I like the general idea, however the way you laid it out has “Red Resign Day” written all over it.

I agree totally. Come on, most of us are WvW players first and foremost, we simply want some rewards on the level that you get in the rest of the game, to not have to farm PVE so much to not be broke. Who is going throw SM away for one chest. I can just go look on the event tracker site and find any PVE boss that is nearly up and kill it in 5 minutes for a chest if I want one bad enough.

However the opposite, positive affect can come out of this, we can introduce more PVE players to WvW, and who cares if they are in for it the shiny chest, they will not be calling the shots and you just herd them to your advantage. Maybe they will even develop into fulltime WvW players.

my guild has to tell people that the jump puzzle in EB is broken on reset nights. never underestimate the stupidity nor the intelligence of the masses.

Gameplay wise, playing for the fun of WvW, yes they are rewarding, but money wise, which yes you need in WvW, no they are not rewarding enough.

I barely break even in WvW, sometimes lose, due to actually spending coin on siege to contribute to my team and not leech like many players. I would rather spend more time in WvW and not have to build up a nest egg in PVE for each week ahead of time.

Have the quality of the chest depend on the upgrades, starting around tier 2 upgrades.

If you take a t3 stonemist then you should get a huge chest. If you take a t2 hills you should get a chest that has maybe an item and some t6 mats and extra badges.

People who care about the Jump puzzle aren’t WvW players… They are most likely PVe’rs that need the badges for the legendary… And seeing how you call’em “stupid” you problably one of those guys from “Harcore PvP guilds” who have no respect for the others…

They already upgraded the drops in wvw. I got a precurser the other day. Granted it was for the trident, but I did get a precurser drop in wvw. Not sure if it came from killing another player or from one of the guild claimers in a keep. I didn’t notice it until I went to empty my bags because I ran out of space.

They need more upgrading. I spend 90% of my time in WvW and yet have only ever gotten I think 1 exotic, maybe 1 rare per week. I have gotten maybe 10 exotics in far less PVE time and a good chance at a rare any time you do any event with lots of mobs.

A player is harder to kill than a level 80 mob, should drop better too. Maybe when they get the rewards system in, players with some of the higher achievements, passives, whatever, can drop better loot.

Depends the amount of loot in it, if it has enough badges and an almost guaranteed rare then you’ll got a lot more PvE’ers in WvW that just want to leech for the chests than you currently have going for world completion and free JP badges, eg. taking up the queue slots of “sane WvW players”.
I think it’s fine as is with the improved group loot distribution, usually if fighting over SM or Garrison you get to face more defenders than when taking a camp or a tower that’s being flipped constantly, so you already get a lot more loot.

actually i’m usually fairly respectful

however if you think that no one is going to rage at you for trying to do jump puzzle on reset night then you probably aren’t very introspective. the first day after a reset is usually the most critical and sets the tone for the entire week to come.
we don’t rage at them, nor do we call them stupid (to their face) nor do we tell them to get off, uninstall, or call them names of any kind really. we say the jump puzzle is broken and leave it up to them to either find out for themselves, help the effort, or leave so someone else can.

i have no problem with people doing the jump puzzle, if they want to pop in and do it for their badges then i won’t grief them for that, i won’t even stop an enemy player trying to do a jump puzzle so long as they don’t attack first. but even if you don’t give one single kitten about WvW you don’t do jump puzzle on reset night. that’s just common courtesy.

Well whole W3 could be about objectives. Remove overall score and add treasure chest inside every keep and tower. Defending and capturing would give treasure. If you win against all odds you would get biggest treasure and so on. Of course loot would need to be very good. For example weapon and armor sets would tell how well player have done.

No.

Just make loot from players and rewards for taking and defending keeps better.
