They mean that in around year 2035 they will start to work on something else that might get finished  and released in 2047. Is it really that important what exactly it is?

 

When they delete the worlds they also delete the option to make a good reward system. Good in terms of: getting rewards based on achievements (aka defending keeps, constructing waypoints etc). Because that would consequently mean you are forced to join an alliance and blob a specific time zone. Absolutely terrible design imo.

Because?

 

Team A as a bunch of random players, Team B comes with an Alliance blob of 50 organized ppl. Who gets the rewards? 😏

Are you implying that if a 50 man organised zerg attack you in current WvW you're not "forced" to bring your own 50 man to match them?

Because if thats the case then this must mean the randoms can beat them just fine and reap all the rewards. So there you go.

Otherwise your argument mean absolutely nothing since world restructuring has the same design as current WvW.

Good luck. Anet will never be able to balance around this in the WvW format. Alliances or otherwise.

It would be nice to see some sort of pure gold reward, much like PvP has. I don't play the PvP gamemode, but the other day I saw how much pure gold they make every week and I thought to myself, man, I'm playing the wrong game mode for rewards!! But I much prefer WvW > PvP, so I don't think I could get into it, as it's more in the pro-league sort of thing.

 

I hope one day there'll be something like a black lion key or black lion statuettes, etc. in a repeatable reward track.

4months later... 

[kamikharzeeh.8016]

since alliances release in 2077, sounds reasonable

[Odin.6487]

if the rewards are inline with the pve rewards id assume we get 1-2g per week if you take mid. 

[Sahne.6950]

Finally Anet is in touch with its community! 🥰

They even use our memes now!

Oh that's a good point, then I wonder why they still decided to remove outnumbered pips before releasing alliances. Cause sure that would have made sense to only have happened after the thing that was supposed to stop outnumbered being a thing.. released.

From today's "ArenaNet Studio Update: June 2022" notes:

"Strike Mission rewards have been an ongoing topic of community discussion since the release of Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, and—wouldn’t you know it—we’ve been listening. "

So now we have confirmation that they listen, just not to WvWers...

I think anet means to ignore wvw again for a few more years. Then some new guy will blurt out how important WvW is.  Wash, rinse, repeat until GW3 is a thing.

Are they talking about the Reward Track system?

talking about the way players gain Participation?          

Talking about the Rate of gaining rewards?

or something else altogether?

We don't know.

 

Ideas that have been thrown out there range from server rewards, end of week rewards, personal rewards, more self driven reward, more reward tracks, bonus reward bounties, new guild missions, reimaged missions, more objective based tasks, weekly missions. Things that bring more items that players will want to come into WvW to get. So that ranges from WvW only items, cosmetics, skins, items that help WvW player play the mode as in more materials and resources to help them play the game mode like banner supplies, siege supplies, more uses for WvW currencies. Been all over the board. Hence they we don't know bit.

Heh. Everyone here is missing the point. Alliances are not coming anytime soon. You will be lucky if we get them by first half of 2023. So this is just another way of saying don't expect much updates to WvW.

What do you mean, we know what the rewards for WvW players are.

Boons.

Many more boons.

And yet, considering my sig, Do we really ever believe them anymore about anything? So far over the past year I've only seen them ignore  a years worth of feedback with all game aspects, only doing the tell part of show don't tell. They seem to be excellent liars.

Since alliances will never be done then they will never have to worry about fixing rewards. see how that works?

I see you've played knifey spooney before 

[MedievalThings.5417]

I imagine they will continue to disincentivize everything that isn't blobbing.  Nerfing reward tracks for example.  I'm guessing a rewards update will make it so that if you aren't surrounded by at least 30 other players, you can't get loot or participation.
