Guild Wars 2

Is the reward the same for killing a guy 20 vs 1, as it is for killing a guy 1 vs 1?

Or is it more like DAoC/WAR where you get more points the fewer people are killing the guy?

I’m searching for a duo that has great escape options, and can take on superior numbers.

At the moment we’re trying DD elementalist and rifle/sword/warhorn warrior.
This duo is good, but if we’re fighting superior numbers that include a thief, we’re often in trouble. If we we try to burst the thief down, he will just stealth, while we’re getting killed by his teammates. If we focus on the others, the thief will often kill one of us rather fast.
So this duo does’t work perfectly, or maybe we just need to play better!!! :-)

Any advice about what would be the perfect duo for this playstyle?

I tested in structured pvp today.
Neither when my elemental was killed, or when the duration ran out, did the enemy player rally.
Hopefully its the same in WvW.

Will killing the elemental make the downed player rally?

It’s abit annoying having to respec when I want to solo WvW, then respec again when I want to group WvW, and then a third respec when I’m back at PvE..

Sounds like a good idea, although I still think the bonuses are too massive.

I think these bonuses need to be toned down. My base hp is 14k
Yesterday I went to the borderlands, and we had a 10% hp bonus from WvW bonuses, and +150 all stats and +15% hp from orbs.
In effect I gained quite alot more damage, and my hp rose to over 19k.

I believe this is too much of a disadvantage to the realm that is already loosing, basically encouraging the loosing realm to stay completely away from WvW.

A small bonus is probably fine (although I would prefer other stuff to keep the level playing field)

But something needs to be done about this.

This system should probably be close to DAoC’s realm rank system, except it should not give advantages to people, but only titles/cosmetic stuff.

As it is now it feels like the main reward system in WvW is just getting alot of kills fast, which is either by just playing alot or by zerging stuff to tag lots of people.

I kinda miss rewards for other playstyles, like solo, duo or small group.

Examples could be:

Lots of solo kills.
Lots of killing blows.
If possible a title for fights against the odds. (not sure how this could be implemented)

I’m sure there are alot of other options.

The main thing DAoC accomplished, was that people that just zerged did not get rewarded all that much. While people that fought well, especially against high odds were rewarded far more.
Not saying that people that zerg and contribute to taking the keeps shouldn’t get rewarded, but it would be nice with alternative rewards for other playstyles.
