5 mystic coins for a reward track would be way too much. Essentially 150 mystic coins per month for every WvW player.

that’s about a 10th of what you need for 77 clovers with a drop of 0-2 on the 10 coins.

what? On average you need 231 mystic coins to forge 77 clovers. Not sure how 150 coins can be 1/10 of what you need to craft 77 clovers.

Here’s your basic math. Drop rates per 10 is 0-2 so if we take 2 is the best case scenario we get: 10 coins to 2clovers. 5 coins per clover. That means 77 clovers cost 77*5 coins in the best case scenario if you managed with 231 mystic coins I would almost report you for cheating, as 385 is the best case scenario. Meaning 400-450 would be a reasonable answer since 0 on 10 its more rare than 2 on 10.

So maybe 150 is 1/10th was a bit of an exaggeration as its a bit more close to 1/5th

Report me for cheating please. After 3 legendaries, I never had to spend more than a stack for 77 clovers.

Why would you want to duel players running pewpew 111 spam dodgin’inaMMOwhogottimeforthat builds?

I play less and less.
I used to roam a lot but facing the same old cheese everyday just pushed me out of this game mode.
It’s cancer or blob.
And with the new NA T4 pairing, I’m pretty sure I’ll spend most of my time in pve now.

If you were a pve’er asking for a free ( or easy) Gift of Battle, wvw’ers would answer you :" work for it". I think it’s the same with Fractals specific gear ( in this case infusion slots).
It’s not that hard, especialy now with the golem selling the mats to infuse/attune your rings. No more RNG. You should give it a try.

You missed nothing. Actualy, you had to do something else than wasting your life in a MMO. You should thank Anet for that.

Lost nothing. I could lie too, but man, I just logged in to see our post patch wvw matchup. Oh yes, I had to grab that 5 gold in TP again. Totaly ruined my day.

Tell me how is it pay to win when an upscaled player in white gear get a precursor from an open world event while you, with your 10000$ kit, only achieve to get some green trash?
Pay to win lol.
The only one winning here is Anet.

Dawn, Zap and Chaos Gun. Zap and Chaos Gun from random dudes in wvw.
3.5k hours.

This game definitly needs more butt capes for the super original human female meta.

#asuramasterrace

We don’t all enjoy playing the human female meta. Without Asura, I wouldn’t even bother logging again.

Aeristoreine.9351:

The real problem is people doing wvw just for the sake of completing the GOB reward track, and you do know that in the process of doing this, one need not actively engage in true WvW objectives. I can simply go into EB/BL on prime time and just clog the queue while I semi-afk to complete my reward track.. Let the rest rage, it does not bother those who are there simply for the sake of getting a gift.

I need not listen to commander’s instructions and can just deplete supply in any ways I want. The people who are truly affected by this change are the true WvW’ers who are constantly trying to win their war.

Or you know, you could try to have some fun with all your server mates.
Don’t blame Anet if you chose to act like a kitten.

saalle.4623:

Desert Borderlands to stay.Those that saying that Desert Borderlands killed WvW are lazy people that did not want to learn new mechanics or want changes at all.

Once again, where were you all when DBL was active?
I spent countless hours in south map waiting for groups to fight but it was DEAD except for people doing their dailies or guild missions.

Apparently, the vast majority want to play in this map again. I’m ok with that. I mean, I don’t care about map mechanics, I just want fights, and the most recent version of DBL was great for fights. But once again, if the “majority” doesn’t show and just queue EB, get ready to see a kitten ton of complains on these forums by the “vocal minority”.

Vlad.1739:

Conclusion: This change helps nobody except anger many players. This does not help WvW community as PvE players will maximize their personal utility at the cost of the server or semi afk, they certainly wont play WvW as intended.

So you’re telling us that pve’ers are selfish?
Hmmm, I’ve seen many many pve’ers casualy doing wvw. Never seen them crying. Same with pvp. And wvw’ers/pvp’ers doing pve.
Maybe the “one mode only” players aren’t a majority.

You can keep complaining while all these players get their legendaries. It’s your choice.

Anet, remove map completion from my legendary journey. I’ve done it once, I worked very hard for it, just create a NPC that sells more gifts. I deserve it.
Thank you.

People voting for DBL better show their kittening butts and not queue EB when Anet will switch to these BLs .

I don’t play sex doll anymore, errr I mean female human meta. It’s getting boring and frankly, asura is the true master race. Now Anet, just remove the ridiculous bra on their precursor chest and we’ll be good.

Is it the experimental set?
Because, ewww, so ugly.

To brag on forums you have 120 wins out of 80 games and tell the others noobs complaining about MM to git gud.

Ithilwen, I think you’re taking this joke of a game mode way too seriously.
Do like me, do your dailies with a brain dead class then move on. There’s nothing interesting in spvp anyway. Like, really nothing but frustration and aoe/cc from 2134762347862 range ( and pewpewrangers or aa rifle warriors dying to reflect).

Chopping seasoned wood is a lot better for your mental health and your e-wallet. Believe me. And craft Light of Dwayna with the money. It’s way prettier than the Ascension.

Great, these dead borderlands again…

My team mates, yesterday, were dying to an AA rifle warrior. At first, I thought, wow that guy is good ( I didn’t want to think I was with very bad players at first, because you know, I want to keep the fate in this kittenty system). So I met that warrior at mid, he was with a mesmer. He starts pewpewing, I pop my reflect ( I was playing scrapper), and he killed himself. I killed the mesmer too and recapped mid ( the same mid my team was wipping on while I was defending home).

Then, suddenly, I realized the MM put me with players worst than an AA rifle warrior dying to reflect. I was furious.

It’s depressing. kittening depressing.

Septentriones.2319:

Yeah if it’s possible then why am I stuck in Emerald Tier 5? Every time I get within one or two pips I hit a losing streak that wipes the pips I had. I do have other things to do in both GW2 and real life than to sit around trying to grind my way through the horrible algorithms that make up the matchmaking. Also you get little reward and get punished hard with this pip system. If it was based on point and stuff we would be much better of.

I’m experiencing the exact same thing. I’m on a competent team then a complete garbage one then a competent team then a garbage team. Again and again and again. I’m so tired of it. How am I supposed to improve if I’m with clueless players who die in 2 sec? I’m not even talking about rotation, emerald isn’t clearly at rotation level.

Anet is just alienating so many players with their MM system atm, no wonder why queue times seems awful for higher divisions and even at lower, I had faster queues in season 1 ( I skipped 2, and I heavily pay for it).

A new artbook please.

I sit on a perfect 50% w/l ratio. Soooo boring. I know I’m not a very experienced pvp’er ( I’m a wvw roamer), and I still make mistakes. But when I see ppl double capping ( or leaving point not recapping, forcing me to run back and cap the point !), or switching for daily profession and dying all the time, ppl fighting off point, dying in 3 sec at mid, 2-3 teammates killing beasts, I just want to stop this joke-of-so called pvp and go back to wvw.

It’s a really unpleasant experience so far. I don’t mind losing to better players, since I can learn something from the loss. Being outplayed, or losing 1v1 is a great experience and force me to become a better player. But losing to your own team because of RNG or MM or even profession dailies. Sigh…

^this

6 matches, 6 loss. That was a great first day indeed. But I’m not mad, I’ll just try again this evening.

Gathering, WvW and maybe a new legendary, but map completion is killing me.

Alpine BL coming back to the game :o . I might come back as well.
Now just balance elites and we’ll be on business again for another 3 years ANet.

Hello Jana,

Just a short message from Anet:

" We don’t give a kitten about wvw".

Oh wait no, my bad. They don’t post anything about wvw. Cupcake anyone?

I bought HoT to support Anet even if wvw new borderlands were free. And what did they do to the only special thing this game ever had over all the other MMO’s? The very unique feature that was wvw? They pooped on it. Get rekt wvw’ers, you gotta move to esports spvp failure or 1111 pve spamming if you want any support from Colin. Oh I heard spvp is kitten too. Well you can still 1111 in pve, such a great alternative. Thank you Anet for this. HoT definitly made GW2 better than ever.

I uninstalled 2 days ago after reading the CoR ‘fix’ post on general forums. Anet just want to please their pve playerbase who don’t even know what a breakbar is ( for real, it was all over reddit a couple of days ago).
Enough for me. Tired of being considered like a subpar customer by Colin & co.

What planet are we on again that punishes coordination ?

Tell me more about coordination a on 2 sec brainless spamming skill. Oh wait, 4 sec now. Lol coordination.

Love out of context quotes, they make your point infinitely less valid. I never once said the skills were perfectly balanced, quite the opposite. Continue reading next time and maybe you’ll understand.

In WvW. the global ICD prevents spammers for being rewarded for braindead gameplay. CoR is the absolute opposite of skillful play.
And the fact Anet will “fix” the global ICD and won’t tone down damage confort me in my opinion. They want to reward bad spamming gameplay. Not coordination.

TexZero.7910:

Tell me more about coordination a on 2 sec brainless spamming skill. Oh wait, 4 sec now. Lol coordination.

Another reason to avoid WvW. You really really want to push wvw’ers outside of their favorite game mode, aren’t you?
It’s just another proof that you don’t care about our feedback.

Gw2 has never been this boring to me. HoT didn’t really add any difficulty/complexity to the game, it’s quite the opposite. Elite are too powerful, classes have lost their identity, and except alacrity, they have now access to everything. Thank you HoT for the AoE CC spam fest too.
I could care less of HoT new maps, I never go there. Not a fan of hours long metas. I still see people here and there, world bosses are still pretty popular, my flist didn’t really change, and my guild still have more or less the same active players. The big difference now is that we don’t do things together anymore. Exit wvw roaming.

GW2 combat system was unique, exciting, and rewarding. Now even a fresh player can easily win with any fotm broken elite. And I blame raids for this. Power creep, cc creep, boon farting creep to please 5% of the population. Such a catastrophic idea for a pvp oriented combat system.

What’s the point of having a pure healer set in GW2 when you group can negate dmg with dodge, aegis, protection, resistance etc..?
Just curious.

I don’t hate GW2. It’s just a game. I don’t love it either. Well, not anymore.
I log to craft T7 mats and sell these on TP. I rack up useless gold. I WvW once or twice a week. That’s it.
Balance since HoT is boring. Too many crutches, passives. It makes the amazing combat system dull.

I didn’t play much since patch but I really enjoy gliding in Central Tyria.
I don’t know if it’s new or not, but I got quartz crystals from map rewards today. I noticed there were unid dyes too. If it’s new, it’s such a great addition, thank you for that. If not, well it’s still a great add ( and I should probably pay more attention to my map).
So far, balance patch didn’t change my way of playing scrapper. It’s still really strong in spvp.
I didn’t wvw either since patch, so I can’t comment on new changes. But I heard hammer 2 rev was broken? I can’t stop smiling if it’s true. Sorry for all the revs out there.

edit: oh and RIP UFO raptor

That’s such a kittening good news. Byebye brainless no skill high reward hammer 2 spam in wvw.

you will die anyway

A little slower though

I’m saying that when I roam the new BL’s and I see the new guild/scribe stuff. I see a bigger game being prepared for us that has not been played to its full potential.

Bigger game x 0 (population) is still 0

Roxanne.6140:

oh look here’s another “balance” centred around pvp/wvw and affecting pve along the way. If so much balance is needed, can there be 2 seperate game modes and 2 seperate traits, one for pve and another for wvw/pvp? I mean the entire environment is different, I don’t see why one has to keep taking the hit for the other.

Errr, actualy, food is a pve crutch, and it’s really broken in wvw. PvE gear/food is the main reason why wvw is grossly unbalanced and will never be fixed.

I really hate big breast female characters with pubis cleavage. Like really. So nope, B&S never attracted me for its female chara design. Same as Tera, or even FF14 with their cat toys. In fact, I mostly play small races when I can ( both male or female). Popori, Lyn, Lalafell and of course, #asuramasterrace. They have the best animation/emotes, are cute and funny. Oh and B&S Lyn’s outfits are amazing. I’d love to have similar stuff for my asura.

Considering how fast WvW is dying, you’ll never see this kind of maps in GW2. It’s a shame, because open world pvp with GW2 combat system is (was?) amazing.
Oh well, we still have points to hold in pvp.

I wish Anet would remove gear and food from wvw, and use the pvp amulet system. Actualy, gear creates more imbalance in this game mode than anything else.

I chop wood

I get CoR’ed, (DH) trapped and (dragon) bannered in wvw.

Sometimes, I enjoy being cc’ed to death in spvp while working on my w/l ratio.

Great fun. Love the balance.

Anet said they would never balance wvw. It was ok before last june balance patch. Since HoT it’s just ridiculous.
Did they try to fix CoR ? Nope. 4 sec cooldown isn’t a fix. They just don’t give a kitten about wvw balance. They will never fix it.
Actualy, class balance is for me the biggest problem of wvw. More than auto upgrades, or new BL maps.

At this point, I wish they would implement a similar system to pvp. And remove food. With amulet + jewels, we could still build nice specs and at least not die anymore to 20k CoR dmg.

Oh and fix cc. But it won’t happen. They aren’t even trying to fix it in their esport mode.

Glass Hand.7306:

There is no way posting in any forum should be a job requirement for a developer. That’s the job of the marketing department or management.

I am a developer. If I was working for Anet and allowed to post if I wanted to I’d post on Reddit. This forum is lousy from several points of view. Including the hostility here. Reddit is a different kind of community that is historically friendly to developers. It is also community moderated meaning blatantly off-topic rants like the early WVW tirade in this thread get modded by the community to oblivion.

Reddit is friendly to developers. This forum is not. If people here want developers to post here they need to treat developers better.

It won’t happen. So get used to reading Reddit.

Yea because it’s our fault. Go +1 Quaggan posts on reddit if you think it will help the state of WvW. I’ve decided to stop feeding ANet with my money to proteste agains’t devs silence ( even on your precious reddit) about my favorite game mode. Money is talking louder than words unfortunatly.
