Yoroiookami.3485 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Could we maybe get better rewards from achievement chests? And by better, I mean rewards that make you care at least a little bit about getting to that mark. I got to 16,500AP today and I received my chest. Inside of the chest I found: - Arrow Cart Blueprint (worth 2 copper coins) - Item Booster (useful) - Bank Access Express (useful) - Jug of Liquid Karma (6,750 karma) - 5 Mystic Forge Stones (sometimes useful) - 500 Badges of Honor (sometimes useful) I was honestly happier with the reward outside of the chest (2 gold), which I don't think should happen. None of those things are hard to get, so it's a bit disappointing. Especially if you're not rushing to get these achievement chests and it takes you half a year to get one. I would like to see these things in the achievement chests: - Exclusive Dyes - Exclusive Minis - Guild Hall Decorations - Larger quantities of Karma - Laurels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious as to why would you need more laurels ..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am constantly running short on Laurels myself. I spent many on ascended trinkets (before LWS3 came out) and on attribute infusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria.3642 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Almost to the 13k one but in no rush since I believe it awards 2 gold and 1 laurel. Oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvar.7953 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Achievement chests are a bonus that costs nothing, so the fact you get something is nice in that regard. One problem if they changed the rewards, everyone who is beyond that point would feel (rightfully) that they are owed those new rewards for every chest changed. So that could result in a pretty rapid infusion of new materials. I also suspect that some of those rewards are to try and make players try out different aspects of the game (you have wvw blueprints, go into wvw, etc). That sometimes works - people may discover they like it after all. But I think there is some detrimental effects to trying to force players into different game modes.

Biff.5312 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That would be nice, but free stuff is free stuff. I've never been unhappy with the AP rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily about items worth a lot, but items that are unique or ones you can't get anywhere else. At the moment it just feels like the chests contain random trash you can easily get elsewhere with minimum to no effort. These are serious milestones, and it doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharterforGw.3149 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 If they upgrade them, you will be complaining again in the next year, because you will have gotten a couple of more achievement chests, and the items aren't special enough anymore. They have certain milestones that give you the next part of the achievement set (radiant or hellfire) *you* haven't even gotten the greaves yet. Be happy you have some in between rewards. If you keep complaining, Anet would most likely just remove those chest instead of keep them and upgrade them. Leaving only the massive achievement chests for every 5k achievements.

I'm at the same level, and yeah there's no rush. These aren't really meant to be something you chase relentlessly - just occasional bonuses. I would never turn down 2g and a laurel if offered. I don't make it my priority in life, but I don't think anyone expects me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am approaching 30k AP and still run out of laurels all the time. Even if you don't have things to spend them on (which I still do), you can make gold from them.

Reanne.5462 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 the only reason to get AP is so that people recognize that you are better than they are. the material rewards are nothing. 29.3k here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
