Guild Wars 2

I’ve opened well over 200 chests and didn’t get any. Is there a specific reason that these PvP rewards are RNG chest drops? I thought it was a terrible idea for the halloween skins (crossing, arachnophobia, mad moon)as well. Make a super crit in the mystic forge, or make it so if you play X amount of pvp games or tournaments you get them, or even put the kitten skin in the gem store. Anything but RNG. Make it 100 slivers + glove tokens, anything but RNG.

The only reward for PvPing is skins, and when players get kittened over by RNG on one time only skins, no one feels to great about that.

Sliver + Glove Token + Paid Token + 10 Arcane Powder + Super Super Crit in Forge = Fused Gauntlets.

Another option would to be make the one time only PvP skins non account bound so they can be traded between players or even sold on the trading post. I personally have 3 PvP Crossings, and would love to give some of them to my friends who didn’t get that particular skin.

Those are in the Chests? Thought it was only the weapons.
You could just convert the skin to PvP.

Except you can’t.

See, I feel your anguish. From the first day of the patch, after reading about the PvP version of the new gloves and finding out they drop from the tournie chest, I played tournies only, every day. Got both heavy and the medium ones and that’s all, yay (I’m ele only). And now we’re left with squat, like we didn’t even log in. RNG must be removed from such crucial rewards. I get that they want to make us play and to keep us motivated but adding RNG, like you said yourself, as an only source of the given reward is insanity. Would like to see this fixed.

The fact that there are separate heavy, medium, and light gauntlets is an extra kick in the balls. I feel for you getting only the heavy and medium while aiming for the light. PvP desperately needed the same ticket treatment as PvE gauntlets got (in fact even more so since PvP gauntlets are RNG and not guaranteed). PvP reward treatment is so neglected in this game… they obviously put all the thought into the PvE end and then just tack them onto PvP to shut people up.

At least take solace in the fact that light fused gauntlets don’t really match most light armor well at all.

Or for the love of god let me turn my PVE ones into PVP ones

100 times this. I have no use of the PvE version.

Or even better, let it be possible to do it both ways… I got pvp medium fused gauntlets and don’t want them at all (don’t fit my thief IMO). I do want them in PvE for my warrior though, and didn’t get to do the MF in time (tried yesterday but didn’t fly).

You guys are right, I didn’t have time to play a lot of pvp, but I had time to play some pve and I got the fused gauntlet. Then I decided to play some pvp, but unfortunately I got the heavy one when I needed the light one, useless for me! Why Anet didn’t use the same system than for SAB : once you get the skin in PVE, you get it in PVP! You are right, it would be normal in my own opinion to be able to get this skin in PvP if you have it in PvE.

Crucial rewards? It’s a skin.

Not only that, it’s a skin nobody looking at your character will even notice.
