The badge would get you some caution from me, but coming from doing mostly spvp, and now starting to do a bit more wvw roaming, it seems like quite a few people earned their wvw ranks in the zerg, so not a good measure of duelling skill.

joneirikb.7506 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Regarding the talk about making own "WvW badges". How would they (ANet) do that ? Consider how many different playstyles we got in WvW, any one metric used for a WvW badge would become silly. * Scout * Roamer * Dueler * Zerger * Havoc We would at the very least need multiple different types of badges, because I don't think a single one badge could encompass all of that, and if it did, it would be meaningless as it would be so easy to get that every AFK PIP farmed would have top medals anyways. Thus completely devaluing the point anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieteriukko.6075 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I support OP idea. I roam regulary and all additional data about other roamers is fine in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadMed.3846 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's really about showing off the badge. In a game full of colours and fashion wars, why not? Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaGranse.8652 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 PvP badges being in WvW would add nothing to the WvW gamemode itself. Thus they have no place being in WvW in my opinion. As for having WvW badges in WvW I don't think that's a good idea since there are a lot of parts to play in WvW. You can be a zergling, roamer, scout, etc etc. I can just see some zergling who's gotten a lot of ranks from blobbing around for a fancy badge to then try roaming and get owned by a much lower rank and less shiny badge player. They can obviously not lose to a much lower rank player so that player must be hacking! Different badges for different roles? Not possible, how will the game figure out what you are doing at a given moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible, how will the game figure out what you are doing at a given moment? in you telling the game. if you can only show one badge then you can just swap between badge types depending on what you do and get progress for your actions related to that badge. if you roam on a zerg badge, well thats up to you. little tools to manipulate your opponent :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gw2 design theme is very all-inclusive. Hard to have a progression system that isn't simply time based, no player left behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Why would you want a reminder of those who ktrained in EotM pretending like most of them deserve it? WvW badges should represent the fights, the strategies, the hard work, and the respect that comes with doing what is intended with WvW and ktraining isnt one that most find respectful in WvW. Everyone knows this can be manipulated, thus making these badges almost as useless as those in PvP. Sure many people are legit with their badges, however as long as some people cheat to get them, their value lowers considerably outside your friends/guildies.

Widmo.3186 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Tbh i hope ANet have more interesting things to do (and balance) than add another cosmetic matter. But if you really have a strong need to show your e-penis,then i won't say no.It's always funny to stomp plat+ players and show them their place in the world. Also,there are other things that show you have some "PvP experience".Legendary wings or Legend titles,both usable in WvW.Just use them,maybe someone will actually care (I personally use both,but just because they're aesthetic).

But then how can I feel good not knowing the rank when I beat someone. /sarcasm Actually when it comes to rank, if its low enough I dont bother with you unless you you actively attack me.
