Diku.2546 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Could we get a simple emote command to show how much time we've spent in WvW? Curious to find out how many of us here honestly spends time in WvW. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chat_command#Queries Yours truly, Diku Credibility requires critical insight & time.

shrew.3059 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So long as this does mot become a form of “killproof”. While time spent in WvW may contribute to experience and expertise, it is neither a guarantee or even useful proxy for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Killproof" type things aren't huge in WvW outside of some guilds that may have a trial process. It's more about if your interests in the game mode align.

I suppose there isn’t much additional harm to be done by adding it, since as you rightly point out, there are a number of other measures and they haven’t been significantly exploited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Does Anet even track it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced that individual WvW times are not tracked and they just compare the ratio of total server players compared to the proportion that is logged into a WvW map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at how they intend to move players around servers for alliances, they sure do seem to track this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between assigning an ID to a player (which needs to exist already, to check if the map is full and you have to go on queue) and logging the time between entering a WvW map and leaving that map (and adding this to "server activity time total") and saving that time to the individual "player.1234" account. There is no reason to keep track of timestamps on accounts for kills, getting killed and how long you you have been active at individual maps. Even on PvE maps, where the location is saved (so you can appear on the same spot you have logged out), you are not tracked when it comes to time (and activity) spent there. Instances, like Dungeons seem to track more, since you can re-join. It is just more data you need to save and maintain. If it is not used for anything already existing in game, you will not program it to be computed and saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not like people can boot you from the map like they can in instanced content., and any squad that would waste their time on that in wvw to verify each member would be a giant meme anyways. I'd like WvW-only death count though doubtful they'd track it. Edited August 25, 2021 by ArchonWing.9480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
