How about changing that and make it buyable with other currencies? For the raid people, make it cost 200 magnetite shards? For the open world people, make it cost 100 provisioners tokens? For the pvp people, make a PvP reward track for them or use PvP currency to buy it? Of course you can adjust the prices more, but its an example of how it could work. So everyone can get a Gift of Battle in his favourite way to play the game? Without being forced into WvW and just leeching it or being afk flipping a camp every 5 minutes not to lose the parcitipation. But first GoB still has to be completed n wvw. In the other thread about it, one suggested it can be crafted via the mystic forge. Which is ok, the recipe can be unlocked once the first GoB track got completed in wvw. Same ofc with the GoE, right? Edited October 26, 2023 by Lucy.3728 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedrik.3109 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 No. Play content get things. And I personally know quite a few that hated wvw and because of GoB are now avid wvw players. Give the mode and yourself a chance. And before it's said that it is not fun. It is a perspective thing. The game should push you out of your bubble. Games should challenge you. And if you truly find it that laborious you can always buy it off the TP. You are not gatekept by GoB. It's only a barrier in your mind. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Might as well just throw it in the WV for 1300 AA then. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Must be a day that ends in Y. That said, I was surprised that GoB wasn't included in the Wizard's Vault at launch. Edited October 26, 2023 by Ashen.2907 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeivu.3615 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I hate WvW and I hate doing the track, but I am able to finish the track within a week. Use boosters to up the track gain. I have a bigger bone to pick with the way lucky clovers are obtained now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius.2140 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Still believing legendaries gitfs and such should be obtainable fully in any game type (pve, pvp & wvw), but perhaps favoring certain gifts in one of them. There has been in many case a clear diferentiation between the communities of each game mode and having them doing content that is totally a different game mode (not the apex of one for example) seems against customer satisfaction.

Zappax.4685 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 And that's coming from someone who did clock in a quite a few hundred hours in it. After a year or so hiatus, seeing the reward track buff, I went in again, to get the final material for a legendary, and what a mistake. I'm suffering through the track as I write this and I can't kittening put into words how kittening infuriating this gameplay is. WvW is in shambles, its easily in the worst state it's ever been balance wise, at least for my server. I'm sure the other two curbstomping us is having fun :^) I'm sure the immortal willbenders with 100% stability, resistance uptime and top raid tier dps are having a kittening blast as well. It's not fun. At all. The outnumbered buff does nothing besides giving another reason to keep throwing your dead body at a wall. Lot of the skills are bugged as hell, letting people pull you from ~2000 range, or even through the goddamn door. 8 2 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The title is confusing as the worst game mode, open world PvE, doesn't reward a Gift of Battle. 2 2 14 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genjonah.1253 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Oh thank goodness, it had been almost a full ten minutes since the last time this exact thread had been made for the millionth time suck it up. If you want the legendary thing, do the legendary requirement and WvW remains the most fun game mode outside of festivals 8 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiki.9450 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I always found it a bit odd that there are these items (legendary weapons) that can be earned through this long grind that is 98% doable in one game mode, yet for some reason that 2% is still there, forcing players to play a game mode they don't want to play. I support Gift of Battle through some PvE method, and I support Gift of Exploration from some WvW/PvP method. Keep people out of content they dislike and the content will remain better for it. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklord Roy.2514 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Honestly, if you find it that unenjoyable just slap a guard every 5 minutes while you watch tv or do something else. Most track progress comes from pip chests nowadays, so just do basically one little thing every 5 minutes and you'll get there without the need to flame. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanAlcedo.3281 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Yeah, must suck when you don't know boosters/buff exists and having no idea how to Afk farm it. How long does it take these days? Less than 4 hours? While being able to Afk 90% of the time? The horror. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis.8034 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 You know maybe if they actually put in the alliances they said they would years ago, wvw might be better. I cant even wvw with my guild we are opposed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) You want a specific reward? Do the part of the game that rewards it. If you can't be bothered to do that, you always have the option of buying a legendary on the trading post.
