Despite the flaws of the AP system it's still an impressive feat. Gz to you guys and I hope getting to 42k AP for the second backguard won't take too long! > Radiant Backguard Video: >! >! >!

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Arguably one of the best looking back pieces in this game. I appreciate that it's a guaranteed unlock available to everyone, but 39k AP? Kitten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 For what it's worth, 10 NA players have over 38.5k AP, which means six months to hit 39k at worst (if they are still playing, since two more LS episodes will do the trick). In EU, there are already four (the original three plus another one around the time I first posted). And there are 15 more players with over 38.5k. So should be at least 30 players with enough AP for one of the skins by mid 2019, if not well before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediktus.9250 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The 39k backpieces look so ugly compared to way easier to aquire backpiece skins that I instantly deleted mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davion Roth.6709 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wow, only 32,000 more AP to go for me, getting close!! I really have a pathetic amount of AP for having a 6+ year old account, was too busy focusing way too much on another MMO I was playing the first few years GW2 was out.

Randulf.7614 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I gave up around the 27k mark. 1ap an achievement was too demoralising to work on personally. Gratz to those who reached the milestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty depressing to think that the time that was spent on these art assets will only be realized by a small group of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at 20K AP after 4 years playing the game, then came the content drought. So I have been playing for AP along with the dripping rate of playable contents.

That means it would take me many years to get the 6k difference. I meant that most people don't have anything close to that. So from the perspective of the community, "only 33k" is a major achievement. (I didn't mean to imply that 39k is easy to reach for you. I do mean that you should take pride in having done so much already.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think about how many art prototypes Anet creates that never make it into the game. Two mediocre backpacks is nothing compared to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mean that you should take pride in having done so much already.) Oh, I'm proud of what I did by myself and I enjoy the process of clearing a checklist one after another. That sense of rewarding is more important to me than the extra AP rewards. I'm just bitter that even if I strive to gain AP, there is still a huge amount of AP that I've missed and so limited goals to aim for at this point.

Oh definitely, though I'm not so much interested in chasing AP as much as doing things like collections. Unfortunately ArenaNet ruined all my current plans because they finally released a Legendary weapon that I like. So this will keep me busy for months probably. The sheer amount of elder wood, mystic coins, amalgamated gemstones and still having to get one more tier in the legendary mastery that takes 9 mastery points are somewhat daunting, but I'm sure I'll eventually find a way hehe. That won't get me much AP in the meantime I'm sure hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if we players were afforded the opportunity to advance our ap reward track with more regularity . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
