Guild Wars 2

Please Anet add a way to turn a Birthday Booster into 24 Celebration boosters. I think most people could agree that we could put it to better use when split into 1 hour instead of 24 hours. For example like waiting in WvW queues all the time can waste a good chunk of a booster.

I think the The Wayfarer’s Henge achievement shouldn’t have been in the Legendary Trinket collection. I have to do a 16 day time gated achievement for a back piece that I will never use, just to get the Legendary accessory that I only want for WvW. I really don’t understand what Anet was thinking when deciding to add that into the Draconis Mons master achievement.

kash.9213:

You only have to preview chest piece to see the effect in preview, I thought you needed the whole set unlock first also to wear though.

Well if you only need the 3 tiers of the chest piece to gain the effect, I might go for that first over the back piece. Probably wait and see if someone actually proves that though.

Awesome. Good for them. Post pic!

Trust me I tried. Harder then you think getting a screen shot of someone in a zerg. They aren’t online anymore, I might have scared them by stalking them so hard to get a kitten screen shot. This person plays a lot so I’m sure I’ll see them again some time later.

You can view what it looks like by putting the entire set on and going into combat mode. I know for a fact this person had that exact same thing.

Someone in my server currently has the effect coming off them. Ok not going to call any names here but is it even possible to have it already? If I understand correctly you need to full Mistforged set to get the effect unless you only need to Sublime piece.

Its long I’m sorry but here goes. Obviously the limit on Skirmish tickets per week and the armor rank requirements have been some of the issues for people with this update. These are just some of my ideas, apologies if anyone already mentioned anything similar.

Why not just implement more uses for Ability points. For example if you’re rank 500 you could unlock an extra 10% WvW experience for 100 ability points, rank 1000/15% for 150 points, and rank 2000/25% max limit for 250points. It rids excess ability points, gives incentive for non wvwers who really want the new items and adds something for the already higher rank vets who are working towards the next extra bonus pip.

Next if vets should get anything faster, skirmish tickets should be the one item that should be. Obviously with the system already implemented that could use ability points/badge/proofs/tickets in which would be added to the Vendors to unlock inside the ability panel. Example being if you’re rank 1k or 2k, you unlock something inside the new vendor costing these currencies in which you buy to unlock for ability points.

Like unlocking something in the vendor at rank 1k which adds 1 ticket inside of the Skirmish chest per chest which would give non wvwers even more incentive to play. Or even unlocking something for higher ranks maybe with requirements around 1.5k to 2k making it so at the end of each skirmish round they are given a Glorious Skirmish Chest, in which rewards 1st with 5 tickets, 2nd with 3, and 3rd with 2.

I say why not actually add something for the vets. Lets be honest the extra pips don’t do much except give vets extra diamond chest, but we all know the tickets are the real goal. Also I understand Anet wants to make it equal to the other game modes time wise, but veteran wvwers have been waiting far too long and deserve a way to attain items they should have had implemented already not take almost 1 or 2 more years to get even being a vet…

Imo being a vet shouldn’t just mean a title on our heads or extra pips that we don’t truly benefit from. It should actually feel like all that time we played for all of these years should be paying off now, now that Anet is showing wvwer’s some much deserved love.

neven.3785:

I have ran through the pip ranks completely and can confirm diamond chests do repeat, but they only let you get the tickets for them after the initial 6 diamond chests.

However, you do get increased rewards at the diamond level compared to the lower ones, so i dont see the real problem with the lack of claim tickets. Putting this much time in wvw in a single day is absurd, normally this amount would be 3-4 days (normally 5-6 days a week of wvw for me)

Sorry a bit confused about your statement. Either you’re saying the diamond chest repeats 6 times with tickets, or that the diamond chest repeats 6 times with the extra rewards but without tickets.

I’ve been hearing people say there is a limit of 175 tickets per week. Here is my problem with how Anet has implemented this system.

What is the point of giving players with higher ranks more pips, when in the end they don’t truly benefit at all. They have a high rank for a reason, they play at insane amount of hours per day, like for instance a diamond rank could get done within a day with the rest of the week really going to nothing. While a lower tier could still get the same amount of tickets just more spread out really.

I have no clue what happens but does the reward track just repeat with no tickets or do you just not get skirmish rewards. IMO higher ranks should be able to attain more tickets or they shouldn’t cap it at 175.

At about 6 hours of playing. Thats a loss of 72 pips already.

Already can say no Loyalty bonus pip if you’re not active for 3 weeks I’m assuming. Been in the same server since the start and only stopped playing Wvw about 3 months ago.

Khisanth.2948:

you can still go and use them all up …

This is merely a simple request that would literally affect nobody and only benefit people who’ve bought bank tabs worth of unbound magic tools for convenience reasons. Let alone I was mainly asking for a straight yes or no by Anet. I’m going to buy the unlimited gem store ones regardless of what they say, that isn’t a problem for me but it would be nice to know. So I can either delete or keep so months down the line when they happen to implement something I get karma for it.

Anet will you make a way to convert already bought Unbound Magic tools of 4900 karma back to karma. Being that I have 200,000 karma plus, I would like to know if I should just delete it now for space or wait until something is implemented.

Finally got my final daily normal/trib modes done. A bit burnt out but I figure I just show my earnings through the last few years and how I felt about this years SAB.

What I liked the most this year:
-That its a yearly event.
-Obviously the crimson set.
-The cat with baubles for the home instance (do more please), maybe a cloud cat lol.
-Duskk’s boom boxes.
-Gliders were awesome.

What I disliked most this year:
-Didn’t have a similar item like the bauble infusions.
-Drop rate could be better, I happened to get 3 blue skins just today and 1 other halfway through the event.
-Time gated sets. Which I kinda understand, I’m assuming they plan on making the next worlds sooner or later.

What I’m hopeful for next year:
-Obviously world 3
-Add something to rid extra Trib Tokens.
-Mini’s like Betty Bauble adorable, the other npcs, clouds and Kingtoad/Wizard Dragon. Possibly make them rare Tribulation drops make it more worthwhile.
-Add previous SAB mini’s to the miniature claim tickets. Missing the Banana and I ain’t paying 500 gems for one mini.
-Another item similar to the Bauble infusion tied to achievements.
-Add savepoints for disconnects. Don’t know why but W2Z1 wood log checkpoint, I kept getting disconnected.

Overall this years was underwhelming compared to last year but I am hopeful next year will be better, since Anet is working on the second expansion.

Also if Anet doesn’t add something more worthwhile next year for the vets of sab, then I most likely wont bother doing this event next year. I’m basically doing this for a drop I still haven’t been able to get and building up a lot of bauble bubbles and tribulation tokens.

Doing 6 normal and 6 Tribulations daily everyday including all of last year SAB, I’ve only managed to get one blue skin so far.

Both SAB infusions, Phospholuminescent, Winter’s Heart, Winter’s presence, and Nightfury.

The only other aura I actually want in the game is the Chak egg, already put months worth of time trying to get. The auras I have are either actual drops or I worked for it.

Actually had 3 Phospholuminescent drop. Took roughly about 200k ToT for the first to drop and 20k for the second and 50k for the third, so about 270k total.

I only wish the auras were a bit more noticeable on my asura, especially the SAB infusions which you barely even see in the screenshot…

Reverence.6915:

The day ANet puts any attention into WvW… That’ll be the day

Yup they didn’t even mention WvW in the last AMA on reddit and although it wasn’t I still asked a question about Legendary Armor and Back item, Triumphant Hero’s armor and Mistforged Hero’s Weapon reward tracks with no reply from Anet. I mean the Triumphant Hero armor was showcased in the trailer.

I understand the Black Lion Chest is rng. I’m disappointed that my gf bought 90 keys worth and didn’t get the Grasping Phantom glider and has now given up (only thing she wanted). I only bought 25 keys and got 2 of them.

With the holiday event ending here shortly and chances of getting this exclusive item gone, we love supporting you guys at Anet, probably spend a couple hundred of dollars a month on the gem store but for now we are done with purchases.

1. Fix Skill lag which probably isn’t possible
2. Legendary Back item.
3. Mistforged Hero’s weapons reward track.
4. Maybe another WvW reward track that focuses more on siege.

Either way I’m going to keep playing, hopefully they add more rewards and ways too use the currency.

Not a 100% sure if any of this has been discussed before, so I am sorry ahead of time if it already has.

Can we please get an option to turn the 24 Hour BD booster into 24 individual celebration boosters. Personally I don’t like wasting it while waiting in a WvW queues or having to always switch characters to avoid losing time. Also I really don’t know why it doesn’t have it, but WvW should have its own 10% bonus reward track added.

Malediktus.3740:

There is literally no fair way to balance the difficulty difference between game modes. So each game mode should get their own exclusive rewards. This is especially true for WvW. Some weeks you get stomped, some weeks you dominate. The difficulty would also vary a lot between night time and prime time. You can never predict the difficulty.

So I dont mind WvW getting their own legendary armor set, but it never should be the same one as the raid legendary armor.

Even though I just posted that wall, this to me is a really awesome idea, but I’m quite sure Anet will not do this, and it probably isn’t even floating in their minds right now.

Lol but if this was to happen than obviously every game mode would expect a set of Legendary armor.

Why should WvW get its own legendary armor set? Hell why should it even give an alternate way to earn the current legendary armor set?

Yes, WvW deserves its own legendary backpack but thats it imo. Legendary armor is a raid exclusive, and at least for now it needs to remain that way.

In my opinion why shouldn’t WvW get its own Legendary armor set? The only reason the legendary armor is raid exclusive right now was to make people actually play the raids… Don’t get me wrong I’m sure people would have still played the raid regardless but not even close to the amount that presently do.

Saying it needs to remain that way right now is ridiculous though. Them adding an alternative path for other parts of the game, not just raiders should have been implemented since the start.

Legendary armor is supposed to be hard to get, and right now Raids are the only part of the game that support that. You could just grind it out in WvW if you wanted to, which would cheapen the effort that others put into obtaining the armor from raids.

Besides, why tf should you not be forced to play Raids to get legendary armor? WvW players creamed their pants so hard with “justice” kittens when the GoB vendor was removed so that PvE players would be “forced” to WvW to get legendary weapons, and now you are asking for special treatment to avoid having to play a game mode you don’t like? That’s such hypocrisy!

Adding a method to obtain Legendary Armor through WvW will do nothing except cheapen it for people who Raided to get it. And considering the extremely high time and gold costs to make it, no actions should be done that cheapen that effort.

And btw this is coming from someone who hasn’t even stepped foot in a raid, this isn’t some elitist comment from someone who is just waiting for the next wing to come out so that I can finish the set.

I am not the voice for people who play WvW. I love playing it the most but it is not the only thing I choose to play.

Like the op suggested, was in terms of WvW would have been the hard way to get the armor. Does it have to be the exactly the way he mentioned? No. I’m 100% sure Anet could have or already is implementing something similar for all non raiders. Saying it would cheapen the effort if they did do this is basically saying anybody who chooses not to raid, efforts to the game are meaningless in terms of Legendary armor. The complaining about elitist raiders is already proof that Anet is at least thinking of doing something that could work everybody else.

Now let me get this straight you’re comparing the one thing they put in WvW the gift of battle (about 8 hours) to an entire set of Legendary armor which takes months of work. Which was to create the Legendary weapons, in which you do realize used to have more to do with WvW but got taken away because people complained about that and still now complain about the GoB being on that (8 hour) reward track. Overall not a good comparison Imho.

Also I remember that issue and WvW players at least most I seen were not complaining about the people complaining about GoB vendor to track. The main issue at first regarding it was that people said they weren’t fully informed about the change from vendor to track.

My main character Pookiee. Started off as a male but my earlier pictures were on my old computer that got ruined.

Pictures
1st – when I first got Volcanus.
2nd – Finally stopped gambling on the forge, farmed and got my first 2 Legendary’s Bolt(made) and Flameseeker(bought).
3rd – Did the achievements for SAB earlier in the year, sporting both bauble infusions.
Last 3 – Most recently just got Eternity(bought) and Bitfrost(made).

I’m just hoping we get our own WvW Legendary back piece and we also get the Mistforged Hero’s weapons reward track or however they implement. Asked it at the ama with no reply.

Been down for about 12 hours now. South Dakota

My first picture I have is from WvW Season 1 Nov 06, 2013 and the second picture is more recent with the same awesome commander Cloud Fly JQ. I had older photos but my old computer got fried so I lost them.
