OutOfMyMind.9613 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I noticed something today that seems like it has changed to the detriment of the player. If I enter WvW and are in the middle of a tick no reward points seem to be given at the end of the first tick. So say I have 54 reward points, am at tier 6 (195 points), and it is 2 mins till the tick. After that 2 min is up I will still have 54 points and will have to wait another 5 min till the next tick to get the 195 reward points. This has happened on 3 different accounts (so far) today, so it isn't a random thing. I am pretty sure this is something new, because on 2 of my accounts the only reason I WvW is the reward track progress and to finish dailies if I can't easily get 3 in PvE. When I am in WvW on those accounts I watch the reward points all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This change went live a while ago when they changed how participation decays. If you leave WvW you will keep all of it, but the first tick won't award any points to prevent any abuse a la going into WvW every 4:45, getting points and then leaving again.

It ensures you stay in WvW for at least 5 whole Minutes..Dang, I can’t even say that without SMH.,, It was just a matter of time before someone complained about this...

Eudaimonia.8695 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 So you would rather build up participation on each and every account which can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes? Gotcha.Just afk the first 5 minutes and then go about your business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipso.8653 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It got me yesterday, we had 3 min left so I thought I had enough time to pop out and refresh my guild buff and get back in before the tick.I made it, but it didn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of penalizes you for changing characters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
