Elite Specializations & Hero Point Feedback [Merged]
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: yachii.8243
Let me introduce myself, I am :
_a WVW player( rank 3400 +), who like roaming and small scale fights and who used to zerg and gvg long time ago.
_i do some time some pvp to improve my skills and find players
_I have played GW2 for 3 years and i have bought some characters slot in gemstore to have all professions, and even same professions from others race sometimes:
A total of 10 characters lvl 80 with no or just a little map completion.
I know that i’m not the only one in this situation.
For us who have been waiting and buying HOT mostly for the new elite specs, the guild hall to fight in a sandbox arena, or the new WVW map how much disapointing this announce should be?
In fact players who will play WVW in a bit competitive way (it may be PPT, GVG , roaming) won’t have a choice with the current system of getting hero points.
These players will have to go in Maguuma Jungle PVE with each of their characters ( even if they got the same class with different races) because they won’t really have any other choice. The fact is, getting hero point will be much longer with the WVW system in my opinion. To fully unlock their elite spec for each of their characters in WVW must be a joke, if im not mistaking:
_ about 200 WVW rank and 6k badges?
The worst thing is that our actual WVW rank won’t be of any use once again even for those who spent a very long time in this game mode. Anet told they will change WVW EXP potions into a % bonus for a short period not to advantage players who wil gathered it before HOT. But don’t you think that its unfair to let the pve players who like doing map completion have an advantage of 210 points in that case?(I have nothing against PVE players, i think its too boring for them too if they have multiple characters)
The other thing is that i find the amount of badges ridiculous and not adapted to that. It will encourage people zerging to kill the more people per minute and not to care at all about roaming or real WVW strategy. Edge of the mist stupid zerg would be one of the most effective way to unlock your elite spec.
Doing the 400 HP one time on one character, why not? But doing it each time with each character is not human. Its not funny at all for a player like me having to do that 10 times.
Even PVE players will be bored not to play and explore the jungle with the spec they were waiting for if it takes too much long time on each of their characters.
To conclude, in my opinion you should reconsider some things about:
_how to find a way to make an easier grinding for players who already play multiclass
_how WVW actual rank of the player should have an impact in this
_how to obtain badges in WVW and not only earning them while killing people zerging , or opening chests in edge of the Mist zergs karmatrain
_how to win HP in the PVP mode. People who like PVP may also love doing some fights in WVW like in roaming,GVG, fighting in guilds arenas with Elite spec…
For them if it stays like that they won’t be able to grind at ll for what they like in WVW and guild arenas, and they are not the kind of players that will enjoy zerging or doing PVE to grind…
So I’m really scared you forgot a way for them to do that in PVP.
I aslo got 2 questions:
_how many HP you have to use just to unlock all the elite spec and not the skins/sigils/ runes?
_do you plan to give pvp players a way to win HP?
Thanks for reading, and please forgive me for my bad english(I hope you understood).
