Hey, don’t complain, you got 3 greens and a rare if you completed the 7 weeks long achievement.

II’m about to hit 50.000 WvW kills

That said, I fully support this. PvD amplifies the imbalance of WvW, to the point that upgrading keeps and towers is basically worth nothing. I’ve tried to defend fully sieged T3 towers, and even with 10+ sup ac’s, placed all over the structure. Even with full ac mastery and perfect placement, it doesn’t matter. A good blob will PvD that door down before you can even dent their numbers.

Recently I find myself playing less and less WvW, simply because it too easily becomes a karma train. WvW is perhaps the most entertaining and challenging game mode I’ve experienced, and a good open fight is what keeps me playing the game.

So, you got my support Hylo!

Hey, at least they can perhaps create a zone in for example Lion’s Arch only accessible by “Veterans of the mist” (or whatever that title was). I want my tp and bank to be close to each other, and should at least bring some more “glory” to the wvw’ers.

Wow, look at that, I got a back pack skin today for trying to go into Kessex Hills… Didn’t even know it was suppose to be a reward, did something for 15 min and got a unique backback skin…

Go figure.

Very good point.

Daily reminder that lol, Anet has never given out good wvw rewards, did you really expect that to change roflmao is not an argument for the kitteny rewards. Anet can, and should have made them better and more relevant.

This. People keep asking for things like a stack ectos or 100 gold… The issue isnt that there wasnt enough gold. The issue is that ArenaNet could have used the reward system for seasons in WvW to revitalize the game type. In chronological order here is what should have been done with season 1:

I agree, well said.

I’m also trying to point out the stupidity of a few of the achievments. Doing jumping puzzles has nothing to do with wvw, nor does flipping ruins if the goal isn’t to cap bloodlust, etc.

Sure, a lot of people go for the “play the way you like”-argument. But, one also have to be geared right, or you just become a rallybot for the enemies. With ascended armor coming out, there’s no way I’m going to get even close to that by just playing wvw, forcing me instead to go out to farm and grind stuff. That does not equal “play the way you like”.

However, if one enjoyes mindlessly grinding the fg farmtrain and speedrunning dungeons, then sure, then you won’t need to worry about rewards in wvw.

Summary of people thinking the rewards were acceptable:

“Lol, did you expect something better?” -> Not an argument, Anet can and should reward their wvw-community better.

“Lol, there you go for messing with mah queue” -> Queues are broken, but yeah, some of us needed to wait hours to get in to wvw. This is because grindy achievement goals (what was it again, 225 dollies, waste 300 supply, something like that?). Not an argument for the crappy loot, this is an argument for fixing the queue and balancing the server population.

“Lol, I’m happy with my mini dolly” -> Sure, it’s cool. Living story gets these out of perhaps one day of focused playing.

So, yeah, the rewards are unacceptable.

You made me happier that I didn’t even bother to do those achievements.

That’s at least something!

It seems a lot of you people are defending the season rewards because “we expected it to be bad”. To expect something to be bad is no reasons to defend bad decisions. It would have taken them less than a day of work to implement a unique backpack skin, or something, and that would have made me happy.

Anet can, and should have, done this better.

5 levels for an alt is fine, but what are you going to use that alt for? PvE? Because you sure as hell can’t afford all the gear to survive well and be useful in wvw for the loot you get there. And, in PvE levelling is what’s fun.

Same here, i seem to get it more in pve compared to wvw. It’s to the point where i usually play with the sound off.

Yup. I also got 80 copper. I’ll invest it in four silk scraps, maybe I’ll get a bit closer to ascended armor if the price spikes a bit.

I have dishonored my server.

I have spent valuable minutes, perhaps hours, trying to do jumping puzzles, while there are queues to the borderlands, and the map chat is filling with requests to come defend hills, bay, and garrison.

I have disregarded cries to man the siege at garrison, simply because I only had 5 ruins left to flip to get my achievement.

I have let enemy players kill our dollies, when we’ve been so close to full T3 keeps, simply because they then would let me kill theirs.

I’ve abandoned the zerg, to stay in scout circles, while rushing to defeat an enemy zerg.

What have I gained for these dishonorable acts? What have I gained sacrificing fun and challenging play time for grinding out achievements? 1 rare, and some worthless skill tomes, and an ACCOUNT BOUND dolly.

How do you explain the WvW reward?

in WvW

Posted by: Alvain.7364

Alvain.7364

Really? 7 weeks. I did stupid things that did not help my server win to qualify for this reward. I even did JUMPING PUZZLES, farmed dollies, when I instead could have been defending keeps or towers. All for this. Someone should be severly ashamed.

It might be just me not used to seeing eles hit ac’s placed far beyond the door, but is this common and accepted, or some sort of hacking?

That’s completely normal since Ele’s Scepter fire skill can hit w/e they want aslong they’re able to target it. And by the looks of it, the ac was placed behind the door, which is easily to be targeted.

Guess i should try more than my usual staff/d/d-setup then! Ty:)

Thanks for the loot bags in FSP BL, i was tagged up…i removed my armor and was commanding naked at the end of my session. Ping was over 700 too as per normal.

It was really face roll……..

Was a first time commander. But, if you take a look now, you’ll find the whole FSP BL completely red
