Azertah.5804 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I recently completed the repeatable icebrood saga reward track and couldn't believe how dissapointing the final reward chest was. I'm a fairly casual WvW player so the track took me about a week to complete, and what was the reward? A mind blowing 10 hatched chilis/other icebrood saga material of your choosing + the usual stuff. I can't believe this was intentional 10 hatched chilis is next to nothing, even the strike mission gives you 9 and takes fraction of the time compared to a full reward track. I was hoping to play WvW as a alternative to the PvE maps and gather materials in advance to avoid possible material gates in the future, but the materials gained from the track are so minimal it's just not worth the time in its current state. I hope this is a honest mistake, and devs could re-evaluate if the current iteration of the track was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 It's not a mistake, wvw rewards have always been lacking like that. The only real alternative available compared to pve is being able to buy ascended armor and giving them legendary function, if looking for mats or gold it's better to pve.

Most LS reward tracks have the option of 50 of the respective map currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I see zero reason to bother with the repeatable. You can earn that many chillis just be spending an hour or two and doing some metas. Course we also don't know what the point of the chillis is anyways, I'm working on my 4th stack atm.

XatraZaytrax.2601 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I kept the chest, so I the next installment I can get some of the new map money right away. There was indications more options would be added in the future. Only bad point was that it was broken at first and kept resetting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really blows my mind is that you are able to mouse over the track and see exactly what you are getting but somehow this thread exists.

Balthazzarr.1349 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The rewards truly are pretty much blah all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgs.6103 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I don't see the problem here. It falls in line the the game mode as a whole. Anet's just being consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare.5129 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 yes, I was also sad that chest is some failed, no any smell of Shoulders of the Ebon Vanguard Choice Chest or Visage of the Khan-Ur. Very very strange. They make Merchandise Collector coast 30.000 gold if buy it from tp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GewRoo.4172 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This one is really trash sadly. They did very well with the charr legion related living world reward track imo but I guess that's it for the next two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroud.2307 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This reward track has a Leather Cache that gives 10 - 15 of all Leather types. That doesn't sound like much, but considering the value of Leather I think it's not bad. I have it on repeat just because reward tracks go pretty quick at higher ranks so I can get that Leather Cache a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavume.8065 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This track is actually one of the best, and considering it synergizes with the drizzlewoood PVE reward track, and gives mats needed for the new weapons just released, I cannot complain.

kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 rewards never been really good on most tracks. but yeah, u really get much progress going by just playing Wvw, and at higher ranks u get more pips per tick or sth alike, so with all boosts noticably faster. that to be said, our server got too many times unlinked recently, cannot play much really that way. 90% of time, all across day and night, outnumbered. and once u have a blob, enemy has at least two blobs on different maps. that is what really messes up the farming speed then. but i really did not notice that leather sells good? some pieces of it do, yes, but others don't sell that well. to make the real money in Wvw, it is anyways only about selling the stuff. mats like clovers, mystic coins, specific mats give huge money. most Wvw-exclusive stuff however barely make any, sadly. even memories of battle aren't that well-selling often.
