Jong.5937 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Now the Legendary Armory is out and some of us are lucky enough to have the 3 weights of legendary armor, please please Anet can we have something else to do with our hard earned Skirmish Claim Tickets?? Personally I'd like to see the ability to buy legendary runes and sigils and even the opportunity to buy a Legendary Reliquary or even Legendary Eternal Coffer, for suitably expensive and time consuming gifts of course!!

XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Excuse me please! /waves Excuse me! But I would like to request my badges be used to buy a legendary... Which one you ask? Yes. 😎 Just because it's the currency I have the most of, just sitting around doing nothing but looking like a pretty number in my inventory. Thank you.

Jong.5937 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) The main point of the (heavily time-gated) Skirmish Chests was to get legendaries (armor and the backpack) and they are largely redundant once those have been added to the armory. I don't think it's unreasonable for these to stay relevant, in fact maybe important that they are 🙂 The armory is possibly even more relevant to WvW players than PvE, with the multitude of classes and changes in builds. A way to earn legendary weapons in that game mode seems sensible at this point, same way ascended acquisition was added eventually. I'm certainly not saying you should be able to buy just for chests. I expect a sizeable cost too, as with the armor 🙂 . Edited July 16, 2021 by Jong.5937 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 No the whole point of tickets were to get us ascended gear over time. Legendary armor was added later on. Just because legendary stuff has been unlocked for the entire account, doesn't mean there's nothing left to buy with tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodjur.1284 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Runes/Sigils and Breather would be nice for tickets. Obviously with a material cost too. WvW is really the only content where those things are particularly relevant anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jong.5937 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Look, @XenesisII.1540, they were added to let WvW guys get higher level gear within the game mode. In EoD a large part of the end game is about unlocking all legendaries (you use) in the armory, for sure for WvW players and most serious players have all the ascended gear they will ever want or need (like, increasingly, very little!). And the same players are mostly uninterested in skins. So, I stick with the time is now right to allow legendary weapons to be acquired within the game mode and these tickets are the best time-gated way to do that.

Infusion.7149 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) 1. Legendary WVW Accessory IMO 2. Mistforged weapon collection if you haven't done it 3. Mist Lord's weapon collection if you haven't done it 4. Mistforged Obsidian weapon collection if you haven't done it Then maybe there can be a reward for completing the WvW-specific Mistforged weapon collection. Currently you can also make the ascended mist pendant and salvage it , buy WvW stat infusions, or buy other such things with skirmish tickets. I'd say a far more pressing issue is emblems. Because they aren't a wallet currency , they take up space. Skirmish tickets do not. P.S. 10K WVW rank should unlock accountbound Eternity or something.

I accept they are a good way to get non WvW players into the mode, but not a reward for most long time WvW'rs. Emblems should be tradeable, like spikes, but they are ppt farmable, not time-gated, so can't really fill the role the claim tickets were designed for IMO.

Oh, add that, fair enough. But by now a lot of us (including me) have already out of desperate need (!) farmed those in PvE 😖. And you only need the 2!

As should the SMC capture achievement. Not so sure on SMC achievement.God of WvW title description fits Eternity perfectly: I've been in the Mists for countless lifetimes. Unlike the other items, Eternity is on the TP and any PvE player that argues about it can just be shown the PVE vs WvW disparity in gold per hour. It is about 7g vs 20-30g so if you play 2k hours of WVW it already is way behind PVE to the tune of an entire character's worth of legendary items. P.S. Also if you hate the orbs, a WVW legendary accessory would have a checkbox. That alone would give people incentive to make it if there is already Aurora/Vision on their account. edit: but after EOD drops maybe that won't happen anymore, you can't count on mesmers all the time. I should know since I have had a mesmer since launch. 6 minutes ago, Lan Deathrider.5910 said: Mesmers were porting people ALL last week through Chalice of Nope.

Although I'm pretty sure Anet will find a way to at least globally turn off all those orbs with a checkbox after the feedback!

XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 So hand out legendaries to 10k rank people who ktrained their way to it in eotm, rather than the real the wvw players that continued to slag through actually wvw during that time, or hand over legendaries to those guys who farm themselves out in OS for 250k kills, or let's hand out legendaries to the dudes that take their boon balls to easy farm pugs now. Sure why not. I'm not against getting more rewards, but you guys need to curb your expectations, and keep one thing in mind. When anet brings something new, they always bring a new currency for it, to avoid giving it away on the first day because people have stock piles of it. This is why they moved away from badges and karma, why every living story episode has it's own currency, why we get different heroic currencies every expansion. While we're on the gimmie free stuff train, they should attach a legendary to every wvw achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay as far as 10K rank goes, there's someone I know who is 10k rank on their main account and obtained 1.5K ranks on one of their four alts this year (so in ~7 years it would be over 10k). Unless you are saying EOTM is active this past year that argument doesn't work. In addition, in core tyria EOTM would still be way less profitable than Silverwastes. So the gold per hour disparity still holds. If you look on gw2efficiency it's quite clear that some titles are exceptionally rarer. Among 4K+ hour players 10K rank is <0.5% of the surveyed population and only 299 players on their whole userbase have it. This means it is really not a major issue. Even Ultimate Dominator is listed as 1,535 players. That is something that would be more controversial. From there the numbers get significantly higher , for example the next one up from that is Yak escorts at ~8K.https://gw2efficiency.com/account/unlock-statistics?filter.group=BE8B9954-5B55-4FCB-9022-B871AD00EAAB&filter.category=13 Edited July 16, 2021 by Infusion.7149 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The Mists can burn. Give out those legendaries to the Gods and Ultimate Dominators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Don't use gw2 efficiency as a metric, it's way under the amount of actual players/accounts in the game, just like these forums are. I also wouldn't be surprised if that site was mostly heavily pve players checking their account values. I believe it was mentioned by cal or ray one time on stream that they were shocked at how low the amount of 10k players were in the game, something like 10% or less than a 1k players. And the point is, people who got a free ride to these achievements, shouldn't continue to get free stuff off of it years after it's done. I don't care if it's only 299 of them, they had all those level up chest, they've had a huge advantage with pips from day one, they even got a token title last year. They don't need a retirement package too. Now, if you really want to do this, here's a suggestion for it. Start a running count achievement starting from today, and when you get it to 10k ranks you get a legendary. That way everyone starts on even footing starting today, there's no eotm to get easy levels off of, and it needs to be earned in wvw maps only.

Infusion.7149 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) My point is many people who obtained 10k rank didn't get a free ride , there were no skirmish tracks back then and many players paid for repairs , siege weapons, and upgrading structures. If you start from now then the likelihood of anyone having it is basically nonexistent. If it's less than 1K players as you state and it's an accountbound item I see no issue with rewarding people for their dedication, even if some people easy mode their way to it because they would have gained much more in PVE. That's like saying that people that buy CM raids or CM fractals should not get the titles or the rewards... doesn't happen for PVE.

XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hey if you can find a way to figure out those that legit earned 10k ranks in wvw then go for it. But I will always say no to those that earned those achieves in eotm and os, you got your rewards already in the easy map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
