CutesySylveon.8290 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Can the token count for this PLEASE be reduced? I'm wanting to make Legendary armor from WvW because I really enjoy the game mode and I want to get the best armor, but the cost this specific item is just ridiculous. Looking on the wiki, it takes 21 weeks of hitting the weekly cap to have enough to craft legendary armor, assuming you use tokens for nothing else during that time. Isn't that a little ridiculous? I get it's the best armor you can have, but is time gating it to THIS extent really necessary? If it can't be reduced, can the weekly cap on skirmish tokens be raised instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Please hold, while a wvw player representative will be in shortly to tell you we earn enough skirmish tickets per week, as they are currently flooded with tickets with nothing to do with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knite.1542 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Lol. People always wanting a refund for a price change. My graphics card was $500 when I bought it and it's $300 now. Where's my money, NVIDIA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutesySylveon.8290 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I already threw out the option of raising token caps per week if reducing it was an issue, and fair enough to the people that got it already and don't know what to do with their tokens. So how about a middle ground solution and increase the weekly cap with lots more useful and valuable things to get them with? Win/win for newer people coming into WvW and veterans that have plenty of things they want to make use of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman.5829 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I have 2 sets of full WvW legendary gear and I am working on my 3rd, all I need are the materials that cost a lot in the TP. I have 3000+ WvW tickets to spare.The reason why you can't get enough WvW tickets eludes me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safandula.8723 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 making first pve leg armor set is 10 weeks, than 20 for every other. 21 in wvw is not that terrible as u think.but yeah they could make something as in pve, so first set would be chiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchonWing.9480 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 People having too many useless tickets just means the tickets are useless, not that the pace is balanced, lol.Insight stays the same. Increase the weekly tickets to like 450, reduce the ring cost, and actually put things worth buying there. Also the Grandmaster Mark/shard crap is a complete joke. I suggest stuff like Guild Siege, Mystic Coins, or something of value, but then again we all know nobody actually cares about WvW. I don't even get diamond chests most weeks anyways.

Krypto.2069 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 OP, I have all 3 Legendary Mistforged Triumphant Hero armor sets, a handful of Mistforged Hero weapons (the ones that I wanted) and Warbringer. And, like others, I too am sitting on 4K+ tickets at the moment. Like you, WvW is my favorite game mode, so I'm in there often for the MAYHEM and GLORY! :smiley: Just give it time, kill and have fun and you too will have what you want and more tickets than you know what to do with. :+1: (Some goals in GW2 are short-term, others midterm and others long-term. I see the WvW T3 Legendary armor as a midterm goal.) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If you haven't been playing 21 weeks of WvW then you don't deserve to have a full legendary WvW set as everyone else before you has done it. Just upgrade the chest+ leg piece first. The largest stall is the lower tier materials for most people , which was alleviated by reward tracks' monetary value to a minimal extent.If there's anything that needs to be gutted it's the concept of max 4 grandmaster mark shards per week. For people not buying the shiny version of the armor it is going to be a long time before they are semi-worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crepuscular.9047 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 if they are going to reduce WvW legendary armor, they need to reduce PvP version tooas much as I'd love to have the requirements reduced, but I do think it needs the extra effort, players should not be entitled to get the best and shiniest gear easily consider it's guaranteed to obtained and continue to stay relevant; compare to linear style mmos that uses RNG, it's much less efforti've lost count of how many incomplete WoW's purple sets I went through, everytime an expansion comes it was back to gear grind, praying to god of rng it will drop the gear i need, and i win the dice rolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltekka.2375 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 "i just joined wvw, need leggy armor, and it takes too long! PLZ NERF"Just play, enjoy the mode, if its your thing. If not, get pve leggy armor, much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not uncommon for WvW regulars to gain 2 times the pips a new player makes in his first few weeks thus reducing the time it takes to cap out on skirmish tickets per week.The other aspect is the semi afk nature which WvW provides. There is people barely active making tons of pips simply by flipping an occasional camp and keeping their participation up. Finally, legendary armor is in no way needed nor do you need legendary armor within your first 5-15 weeks of playing WvW (or ever to be honest). Get multiple exotic sets and make different builds first, then if you enjoy the game mode, you will have the skirmish tickets eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The armor pieces required for legendary armor is the Triumphant or Mistforged Triumphant set. Only the Mistforged Triumphant armor has rank requirements while the Triumphant does not. Yes, by the time you reach WvW rank 2k you are highly likely to have enough tickets for a legendary armor but even then, the Triumphant armor will cost you 7,880 Skirmish Tickets versus the 9,190 Skirmish Tickets for the Mistforged set.This armor retains the visual look of the Triumphant Hero's armor or Mistforged Triumphant Hero's armor. You need to reach WvW rank 2000 if you want to obtain the full set of Mistforged Triumphant Hero's armor. You can get a full set of legendary armor with Triumphant Hero's armor as well.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way my play time is better spent imo. With that said, any mats I acquire killing, salvaging, or occasionally node gathering, I hoard to minimize costs.

RedShark.9548 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Op, ascended gear has the same stat values as legendary and is waaaaay cheaper, you can craft several ascended sets with the same cost of one legy set. Legy is just more convenient, but if you just want to maximize stats just go ascended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
