Guild Wars 2

I’ll definitely do Season 2. I’ve loved WvW for a long time now, and the Season 1 achievements just added another facet to the game. I’d play WvW with or without Season achievements. I agree some adjustments should be made to the numbers for some of the things.

I played WvW pretty much like I always do, got a cool title, some cool stuff, some less than exciting stuff, and my adorable mini dolyak. Overall I’m happy. And if I’m honest, I think the title and the mini dolyak were the most exciting bonus for me.

Yeah, I’d definitely do Season 2 achievements, because I’m going to be playing WvW anyway.

I have zero interest in completing any achievements in wvw now…really…no interest. The bandwagon of giving achievements for the purpose of giving achievements I think is gone and players are getting wiser.

I dumped WOW’s achievements a long time ago, they are not the carrot that makes me want to play GW2 or buy gem cards (which I haven t done for 4 months since I don t see the worth when I had to wait hours to enter wvw or join my guild on TQ when he was new).

I would much rather fight wars and gain server pride and contribute to my server via PVE quests, gathering items for the war in wvw etc than silly achievements. Make the whole server participate where wvw plauers become the football team and the pve players are the supporters.

As of right now…no interest whatsoever in season 2 if there is going to be one as long as it is organized and managed like Season 1 has been.

Want to make me excited about S2? tell me that if I complete my achivements I ll be able to wear town clothes in wvw. For that I ll play everyday and even buy gem cards

Eh, I would probably get most of them just passively through playing the game since I spend most of my time in WvW anyway, really the only ones I needed to go out of my way to get were the JPs.

I probably would just with hopes that arena net took all this feedback into account and made the rewards a bit more interesting.
For something that took weeks to get I don’t really think the rewards reflected that.

I ended up getting a little annoyed with my guild at the end because the way they play did not progress towards the achievement very well. It’s a small guild that specialises in capturing and holding the corner of an enemy borderlands (keep and tower) and trying to upgrade. We try to hold out against large numbers and we use mesmers and thieves to instantly retake the keep or tower if we lose it. This still amounts to large amounts of time spent actively playing in WvW but ironically it means the better we do, the worse our achievements progress. The season 1 achievement track seems to be tailor made for karma trains, zerg farming and PvDoor. A lot of times my guild will ignore sentries because they flag your location and holding them does almost nothing at all. I found myself at the last week of season with several tracks to grind out and I never want to capture another sentry again.

Chasing the achievement track was a hindrance to my enjoyment of WvW. The way it was designed favoured zerging over simply playing WvW.

Aside from the JPs, they completed themselves. But that still doesn’t excuse the joke of an award chest.

I say why even have the achievements and chests in the first place. It’s all BS, including the season itself!

Hey, Anet, how about fixing some of these kitten bugs you keep creating and removing the toxic crap from WvW? Now that would be an achievement!

I didn’t even have to try to get the season 1 reward. Though, it was tedious to sit in q for a long time. I wvw pretty often, so I don’t think I’d say I won’t get it. Its more like " it takes no effort to get it. so ill just do my usually stuff and eventually get it. "

No. The rewards are simply ridiculous. Especially the 24456643 greens. What they’re trying to do there lol? They think if we put bunch of crap in there at least it will look visually impressive, like loads and loads of stuff?! This is so cheap.

Yes

Free stuff for playing my favorite game mode, not a hard sell.

I won’t even consider playing S2

Sure. I’d do a season 2.

Dragonite for an achievement I’d be doing 90% of the requirements for anyway?

Yeah, no problem.

Meglobob.8620:

Would you do the achievements to get the key/rewards?

No.

Meglobob.8620:

Lets say in the new year Season 2 of WvW is announced, similar achievements earning a key which unlocks a chest at the end of 7 weeks. Again Anet keep the rewards TOP SECRET.

Would you do the achievements to get the key/rewards?

Yes or No?

Me personally…No.

Feedback for Anet so far:-

Yes: 20 (59%)
No: 14 (41%)

For rewards: no
But I’ll complete them passively while playing WvW

Only if there is a different mini as reward.

No. I will play WvW, because I like it, but I won’t play as much as in Season 1 – rewards were things that I wanted to get so I played even more then I should…

I wont play season 2. kitten it

Sure, why not?

The only achievements I really had to grind out at the end of the season were SM caps (I don’t play EB), repairs (I’d rather leave the wall open and farm bags), Butt lust, and sentries. Everything else just happened naturally, and I would expect season 2 to be the same way.

I’m mostly a PvE player and i did the meta achievement for the mini dolyak. I got it, thus i’m fine. But unless they put something different in the second season, i doubt i’ll do it again. I don’t need a caravan of those, after all.

I can get better rewards in 8 minutes in cof p1, so I won´t complete these achievements again. Bye WvW.

No. Might go for “yes” because maybe they’ll rework the rewards following the backlash after season 1. but if the rewards were the same my answer would be " never" .

Uh, bullkitten?

You can get better heaps of blues and greens, but I don’t see dragonite dropping in CoF. I don’t see transferable levels dropping there either. And having watched the buying power of gold turn to sparkly motes and blow away on the wind, I’m not sure that big ol’ 1 whole gold coin at the end of the dungeon is all that spectacular either.

I get about 1,6 gold for cof p1, more than I got in WvW chest with the 2 yellows and greens.
Althoug I got 7 items for 1 lvl in the WvW chest, I don´t need them, so it´s trash.
I don´t need more skill points, I have 700+. And pls no more dragonite, I have to destroy it because I don´t have more space.

Atherakhia.4086:

… after the [censored]storm ANet is getting from this season do you honestly expect them to make the same mistake the second time around?

Yes

Yes, I would still complete them. While I expected more of the rewards I still admit I had plenty of fun in WvW. Before the Meta I wasn’t really interested in WvW, but now I really like it. I only started to do the Meta because I wanted the archievement points. That’s why the chest feels like something ’’extra’’ to me. The Tomes of Knowledge were handy ( although I’ll admit that they are useless if you don’t plan on leveling another character ) and since I’m a huge mini pet fan I am really happy with the mini Dolyak. That said…I did expect some Badges of Honor, or Laurels for that matter. Completing the monthly takes less time.

Hahaha I love this and hate this at the same time. Of course I would complete the achievements! However, I would put zero caring into completing them as it would just happen in a couple weeks without any effort anyway.

no.

Yes, they all came just from a few hours play most days over the course of the full season. I certainly did not expect much since they weren’t that difficult to finish.

I also did not play a shed load of wvw simply for the chest reward, if you did and expected huge rewards then you’re an idiot….

Without there being a decent reward given out. No, I hate jump puzzles… I really really hate jump puzzles and there is no way to complete without doing them. I won’t be going out of my way again.

If I managed to inadvertently complete them while normally playing sure.

But then they wouldn’t really feel like achievements. I wouldn’t feel like I actually achieved anything…

Of course we would , WvW is the only quality pvp left now on the other hands the rewards could be juiced up a bit but given the lackluster rewards for WvW so far.. doubtful

Yes I would. I had fun completing most of the achievements- ruins was not fun to complete though.

I don’t think the reward was that bad and the mini is cute.

Yup, I’d do it again because I had a lot of fun earning the season 1 chest. The finisher that they included should have been permanent, but otherwise it was free lootz for my account.

I dont get why so many people are angry.

Yes we yet again got crap rewards which we could get playing WvW normally for a couple hours. But we’ve always got bad rewards in WvW compared to PvE

As for the achievements, they are nothing you would not have done already by playing WvW as usual over 3-4 weeks. I had most of it done in 3 weeks without trying, just following my guild as usual like I do everyday.
So I am not too bothered about the loot we got from the chest, I didnt have to go out of my way, I didnt pay for gems to bandwagon on a top tier/league server,.

I do still believe WvW needs more, like so many of us do, needs more frequent updates and not just more mastery traits and we need better rewards, as well as more ways of getting achievement points.

As for those who paid for transfers to higher servers to get this awesome loot! Well done, you got what you paid for. For that reason alone I am kindda glad that the devs gave crap rewards. These leechers are now stuck in those servers, some of which have long queues during their primetime, and if they want to move, it’s 500 gems minimum to move to the lowest server.
It also means less PvE achivement hunting whores in WvW, at least for now; man they were the worst but at least they were easy loot bags.

So if there is a S2, yes I will complete it, but without trying cos we’ll do all the stuff needed anyway!

S2 achievements? Yeah, I’d do ’em. It was fun achievement hunting in WvW.

I hope the next season mini will be as cute as the dolyak.

I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to complete the meta, no.

I think I comfortably got around 9/15 before I had to start changing my playstyle and doing activities I didn’t particularly enjoy to get those final 6. I’ll be less inclined to do that next time.

I completed my meta in the first week through my normal play. And I got a jog of liquid WXP and three Flasks. 6 free levels I don’t have to zerg for? That’s enough in my book!

No, unless they rework the rewards and tell us in advance everything we’ll get at the end of the tourney!!! I’m tired of let down after let down.

I would have been happy with a nice back piece or weapon set or something I could actually use towards WvW since it’s all I do in this game anyways.

yes…………………………………………………

Just watch, ANet will add good rewards to the Season 2 chest (something like an unlimited season finisher and an Ascended Weapon of the stat array of your choice that has a special glowy exclusive skin) and people will QQ that the reward was too good, and people didn’t get a chance to do it cause they HAD to WvW or the rewards were so bad last time that they didn’t think it’d be good this time. :P

If ascended weapons were the prize to the winners then people would have every right to “QQ” if Season 2 is as badly matched as Season 1 was.

I would complete it because I love WvW, if it wasn’t the case then forget it, I wouldn’t “waste” another 7 weeks of my gw2 gaming for a reward that’s absolutely disgusting

Yes!

I’m a dedicated WvW player, but I’ve been on a hiatus for several months. I returned to discover that there was a WvW season achievement, but having only a week and not much time in my schedule left to play, I didn’t think I’d get it. I made some decent progress in a couple of days so I decided to blitz it in one marathon session, played about 12 hours on my day off and managed to get it.

The rewards might be light, but I’ll treasure my Mini Bessie and the title. I was in it for the thrill of the hunt and crossing off the T’s, it was amusing to play WvW with thoroughly selfish goals. It was also nice to be able to finish a meta, which I’ve stopped doing for a long time now. I was even a bit naughty and turned my tag on in EB for an hour when another commander signed off to make sure I got my last three SM caps for the achievement.

I am sure it may not have been so easy on other servers, but the whole ‘7 weeks to complete it’ view is nonsense, I think it was a nice incentive to bring in some new players. Those who enjoyed WvW will stay, and thankfully those who were in it only for the rewards will move on.

Now, if only Mini Bessie would carry some supplies for me, I get tired lugging that stuff around!

I’d happily do season 2, as I had fun, regardless of the reward. Got to admit though, the key filling up room in my inventory for ages did bug me a bit. I’d have prefered to have my bags clear. I guess I treasure bag space a bit too much. But it seemed to me that the season was reasonably easy to do while just playing normally in wvw and I got plenty of loot bags as rewards during the season, so the chest was just an added bonus.

Righteous.4307:

The rewards are inadequate. Most of the WvW players would complete them passively (save the jumping puzzles). However motivating PvE players to participate in WvW Season Two will certainly be much harder if nothing is done to amend the rewards.

Who says we want PvE PUGS in WvW?

Personally: yes. It wasn’t hard at all.

Yes, i would because i do WvW.

Feedback for Anet so far:-
Yes: 45 (60%)
No: 30 (40%)

Players who mainly do WvW seem to view it as a nice bonus and get 70-90% of the achievements by playing normally.

Other players who don’t normally do a lot of WvW seem most disappointed.

To be honest, I’m not sure. Oh, not about WvW, but about a “top secret reward”.

Not sure what else I could possibly want that a second set of achievements/reward would provide.

I WvW for what us old DAoC players call “realm pride”.

I’m happy with the title (hope it stays unique). I’m happy with the mini dolyak (it’s gravy). The other goodies were an unexpected surprise.

I will be out there in WvW defending my server’s “title”.

If achieves happen, they happen. Not why I’m there.

Yes.
Not for the sake of achievements alone. This season, I played more wvw than usual cause it was fun being a part of something bigger and doing my share for the server. That’s how most achivements got it. Some were really poor and obviously designed to be grindy, such as merc camps and wasting supply.

Meta should be improved, but it should still be there next season.

Maybe I would have it by default since i play wvw most of the time. but i would not go for it like in season one, knowing the rewards are utter crap. 10 minutes frostgorge would get me more.

no way
i did a huge work for this season, and the reward is … insulting
i will probably get the chest as i play a lot, but i wont spend the same amount of time, energy and money …
