senna.9563 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 So is there no way to get the track potions anymore? Because if this is the case, then I'm so goddammit disappointed by this game. I hate wvw with a burning passion and do not want anything to do with that gamemode (nothing against ppl that like it, but I'm not one of them). And the only way I was able to get the gift of battle for my legendaries was to get in, do one or two easy dailies that I didn't need to actually do much for (sentry or veteran creature) and get out. Now I cannot do that, therefore I have no way to get the gift of battle. So I'm locked from crafting legendaries. Is this how it is now? Or have I missed something..... 19 3 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash.9213 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Seems like nearly every thread is bringing up some wacky decision to dismantle the quality of life for anyone who has limited time to log in and play. With the track potions, I could build them up and plow through a track that I just wouldn't have time to knock out otherwise. I can see myself ignoring more content because I just won't be able to progress much without other avenues that fit my log in time. Their daily choices are also not choices it seems and another example of making me have to decide on logging in or not. It's not so much a matter of me being upset, I have to actually decide if I can hang with this game anymore or if I'll be stuck doing grind work during the half hour to maybe an hour a night, I get to log in. I ignored dailies before anyway at least because I just can't do them, but it sounds like this new vault system will be more prominent.

Appears to be a massive oversight It clearly says in the patch notes: Recipes for guild hall upgrades requiring the potions have been changed. Unless you are claiming this is false or not implemented yet, that is a non-issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will no longer be able to craft any legendaries anymore 😞 Amazing. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hope the guild hall changes did not introduce more "expensive" stuff. Playing PvP a lot - found them easy and I think I still needed some. Not that many. Not important upgrades though. It is a bit annoying since this might overall make reward tracks slower to progress for people that did their dailies regularly. In PvP a match - if you won - could give you 4 potions daily. (If you also completed the other 2 ones - omitting tournament match one.) Imo they should introduce those again separately from the new daily system. (Separate category like the fractals category thing.) I can understand they did not want people to just farm acclaim from PvE and then buy a big load of reward track potions without ever playing that game modes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, but why not make just the gift of battle specifically buyable for the renown? Since they already made precursor + gift of might buyable. I'd rather farm pve for months than play wvw. I really dislike the game mode. I was looking forward to this expansion, but this in particular makes me not even want to play the game anymore. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphonse Constant.2394 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Yeah, lovely. I loved using my potions because yeah, not everybody likes the grind - or has time for the grind. ANet seems to be hell-bent on ruining this game. 😞 11 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solvar.7953 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It does seem the getting skirmish chests now provides more reward track progress, but I'm still not sure why they made that change - since skirmish progress and reward track progress are both mostly time based, why not just give more reward track progress every 5 minutes? It seems like a somewhat odd change, because the only real need to do WvW stuff now is keep participation up - before at least, even as a mostly PvE player, I could do some easy WvW dailies for the potions to get some progress. Now it seems to be, hop in WvW, get participation, sit around for a while to get skirmish chests, which also get reward track, do something else to keep participation up, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the longest time I would point out that completing the PvE(ish) dailies such as Big Spender, Land Claimer, and Veteran Creature Slayer were sufficient avenues for those disinclined to fully engage with WvW to attain their GoB....and now those options are gone. More than a bit messed up for ANet to kick people while they are already down. 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow.8209 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) veteran creature slayer? there was almost never an available veteran creature (that counted, there would be other veteran creatures but not the wurm, warg, or, whatsisface the third one that counted) i defeated 3 yesterday but I think that doubled my cumulative count of all veteran creatures defeated ever Edited August 23, 2023 by willow.8209 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea exactly, I haven't touched the game since finding out yesterday and I'm not going to. Thinking of refunding it, but since this is a base-game change it won't even matter. Really disappointed. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of playtime in the game, as I've said - I would rather farm pve for months straight, than play wvw for an hour. This just makes me not want to play at all, because it forces me to play a game mode I do not enjoy. And seriously, do hardcore wvw player even want bad pve to ruin their gamemode because they are farming for their gift of battle? Doubtful. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
