idpersona.3810 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 From the patch notes: Quote PvP and WvW Reward Potions Update Potions of WvW Rewards and Potions of PvP Reward are no longer obtainable by players. Any potions that players currently possess can still be consumed. Recipes for guild hall upgrades requiring the potions have been changed. Instant reward track progress granted through the WvW skirmish reward track has been increased. Instant reward track progress has been added to PvP rank-up chests, starting at rank 30. I'm at work and just read through today's patch notes. Any informed thoughts on this? I'm just generally curious what WvW players think of this change. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It probably is to prevent people from instantly finishing reward tracks in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Looks to me like they really hate PvE'ers complaining about having to play WvW for their legendaries... Must mean that GoB is in the Wizard's Vault... /s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the whole point of potion of WvW right you can save and spent at the right time, why anet doesn't like this 😭 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bern.9613 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We got 6 from dailies and I can't remember how many from weeklies. How on earth is that a problem? I saved a couple of stacks incase I needed something from a reward track. What promoted this unnecessary change? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'm laughing my kitten off cause they added capture 5 objectives in EOTM as a weekly. HAHAHAHA 2 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Probably would have led to people buying the without ever playing the respective game mode. (For WvW already there was the limited option to slooooowly only do the one where you'd have to spend badges of oner which you could have gotten a lot from achievement point rewards. Was rarely on daily and only 1 though.) I dislike it. For people playing a lot (I do mainly PvP and one match - if you win - can get you 4 potions daily) the changes probably won't make up for this. Would have preferred a different option. Split currency (for PvP a 2nd one to buy mainly PvP related stuff / similar for WvW) maybe or keeping the potions still available (tied to some daily PvP separate from the acclaim stuff). Other than that I did not notice bad stuff in the patch notes. (Not played yet - later in 2-3 hours only. Doing maintanance at my computer now.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetheros.4203 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Overall not too bothered by it, but moving the increased reward boost to the skirmish track means the pip lockout after server transfers is even more punishing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrimm.5624 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 On reading of the patch notes, not a fan, but not in game yet. All I can figure is they have some upcoming reward tracks they don't want people fast potioning thru. Stack these for holidays and such so yeah, -1 from me on this change personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaba.5410 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 All the PvP potions I've contributed towards a guild hall upgrade don't seem to count at all for the replacement shards of glory. The contributed amount is now 0. Needed a bit more for an unfinished upgrade and never got around to it. Wish I used them on PvP reward tracks instead now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can figure is they have some upcoming reward tracks they don't want people fast potioning thru. Stack these for holidays and such so yeah, -1 from me on this change personally. I would ask them exactly how long that track is supposed to be or how long they would expect us to have to stay with it to complete. That's another thing I would probably avoid regardless of reward at that point. I agree with that as possibly their reasoning. I don't get why they should have a problem with us plowing through those tracks if we want to though. They don't work with me, and they don't know my commute. I'm not trying to do any stale grinds or instances when I get home for a half an hour or so to vibe. I saved potions from what I was able to do to try and be smart about putting more effort into less time but I guess dumbing it down across the board is easier for a dev team.

ArchonWing.9480 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Depending on what you want, you may want to dump potions for Gift of Battle if you're not a wvw regular I'll probably stock a few of those and save 1 stack for something interesting.

As mentioned in OP: Potions of WvW Rewards and Potions of PvP Reward are no longer obtainable by players. So not sure anyone will have opportunity to stock on any potions anymore. Either you already have them or you won't have them. Edited August 23, 2023 by Sobx.1758 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you already have them or you won't have them. I'm referring to using the remaining potions that people may still have. Some people may be better off using them for their gift of battle since we won't be getting them any more and will have to grind out a full track in the future.

So my thought on the subject of Potions of WvW Rewards and Potions of PvP Reward are no longer obtainable by players: was that people should use their remaining potions on the gift of battle, if they think they'll need them and don't want to grind out the reward track, instead of just dumping them in some random track because otherwise they'll have to come back to wvw to grind it. Are we done yet? Edited August 23, 2023 by ArchonWing.9480 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
