Poor Rewards for Endgame Hearts

[piano man.1672]

I was running through areas in the Path of Fire expansion, and as I’m completing Hearts, I realized I was only getting roughly 3 silver for completing them.

 

Three.

Silver.

 

For completing Level 80 hearts in supposedly endgame areas. That sounds silly.

 

If there’s one request I have for the Cantha expansion, or even for future updates, is to up the currency rewards for hearts in the region, even outside of Cantha in endgame and level 80 areas (both money and karma).

I've found that after getting the minis and other unique items from the heart vendors, there's zero reason to do the hearts past getting 100% completion to unlock the elite specs. It wouldn't be so bad if the hearts filled at a reasonable pace but it can take 5-10 minutes per heart because it fills so slowly.

 

If there are hearts in EoD, I really hope they're more balanced than the ones in PoF. Or, should they keep PoF's (lack of) speed, give better rewards beyond the first time like you said. When Lake Doric's hearts are faster in comparison, you know the balance is way off.

I have never found the rewards of the hearts to worth anything - at any level. But I love doing them, so no worries.

Hearts are for getting map completion and karma. The silver payment should probably just be removed, but they left it in to cover your waypoint fees I guess.

I just do them for fun mostly. The only time that I felt I needed to complete these was to get items to unlock mounts, such as the items for the griffon collection and the item that makes it cheaper to unlock the jackal.

They never really scaled them passed their vanilla end-game worth which at the time, was decent. Trying to do Orr in yellows and greens was a bit more challenging back in the day, so getting equipment from finishing a map was cool.

Back in the day I thought bringing back hearts on top of everything else would be cool. Instead Anet map design defaulted to empty maps with tiny island hearts content.

 

Ya.. hearts should never come back. Not cuz they are bad, but it is an excuse for map design laziness.

PoF hearts each count toward map events once each when it's a daily.

 

The 'Reward' is the first-time completion to get HPs. The other times it's just like killing bandit bounties in Kryta. They contribute toward helping other players trying to do it the first time.
