Guild Wars 2

The wvw red headed child continues to stare into the corner, a single tear runs down their cheek, while it’s siblings squabble over who can get ascended the fastest.

Personally I’m not arguing over the cost, I expect it to be on par with the cost of the other game modes, I certainly don’t expect it to cost badges which some people have stuck on their minds, I fully expect they would implement a new currency for this.

I’m arguing for equal access to purchasing the gear by playing the end game mode I prefer, using the currency dropping from that game mode, that is the same with the other 3 game modes is having to get currency as part of the cost. Well cept raiders but they’re time gated, and missing their legendary armors and need a decent reward in it’s place.

Having a vendor will
1. Give us a way to purchase gear using currency earned in wvw, just like the other modes.
2. Will give us a way to purchase the individual pieces we need to finish a set. There’s 3 different levels of armor to get, light medium heavy, imagine having to wait on random drops to complete one, it would take a years if you solely want to go it that way, while fractals is faster in that regard(that is also fine by me). Ascended does not drop like candy in wvw, 99.9% of the players will tell you that.
3. It would even give those hybrid players a chance to pick up a piece in wvw as the others, the time they spend in any of the 4 end game modes will help make progress on getting the top gear in the game, and they would never have to feel like having to play one over the other because of lack of progress for their time spent.

There are various things they can add for wvw’er, and catering to the guilds will probably get you the most sales, as it seems people have more guild pride than anything these days.

1. As mentioned allow guild claims to decorate their tower as a theme, halloween, wintersday, valentines, medieval, etc. These should include a sign on the wall near the gate that says [Owned by Guildname]. Sell these themes at the time of the events if you want to make them special.

2. Sell wvw skin versions of the town clothes without the extra skills. How many wvw’ers would want to run around as the mad king? Add in the store more separate skins of wvw themed helms shoulders back gloves, these are items that stand out.

3. More inspiring finishers, guild banner stakes as mentioned, bigger signs that says [Finished By Playername!], [Guildname Represent!], Guildname Wuz Here!], [Guildname 4 Lyfe!]

4. Add in new themed skins for siege weapons, catapults made of bones, rams lit on fire, trebuchets looking like christmas trees.

5. Taunting banners that players can be planted anywhere like warrior banners but bigger, ones with messages written such as the finishers in number 3.

6. Design mounts with normal run speed, can pick up regular speed buffs. Do you know how much of a killing WoW makes on selling mounts? They sell mounts for $25 and even starting to sell helms for $15.

The only unfair thing about condition damage is having to listen to people who don’t understand how it is balanced whine about it constantly.

You’re right mr condition thief, we shouldn’t be on the forums to whine, we should be praising them for the great job they’ve been doing with combat. You got dibs yet on sending them the next gift basket of muffins?

Too early to cry wolf just yet, we have to see what happens when the 4way shed some fair-weathers, and the other servers fair-weathers comes back.

Only way that’s going to happen is if the 4way gets bored with no pins showing up. The fair weathers stick around as long as they’re winning, which the 4way will do for the rest of the link. The losing sides shed more players as they get bored being outnumbered and outscored all the time, they take the week off.

They come back for reset and see how it goes, then by the end of the weekend if the score is close they gain morale and stick around, if it isn’t then another week off, hoping the 4way gets bored. For an example, see t1 the past few months.
