Guild Wars 2

After just sitting back and watching the forums lately I found myself asking why didn’t A-Net make PvE, PvP, and W3 only characters like they did with GW1?

PvP stayed in PvP and PvE could go to PvP if they wished.

Guild Wars 2 could do roughly the same:

*PvP stays in PVP. Level 80 and level 80 gear.
*W3 can go to PvP but not to PvE. W3 characters work the same as now except they can start with level 80 gear, but still have to earn their skills and skill slots. They can never enter PvE
*PvE can go to W3 and PvP

It has been coming across on these forums that W3 players really don’t want PvE players in W3 and that the W3 players would prefer to stay out of PvE.

And vice-versa.

So, why don’t we have separate character modes for this?

Would anyone like to see this implemented at some point?

Personally I could care less about it, but some might prefer to have full separation of the three play modes.

They are really different styles of play and I enjoy all. I wish WvW was just like sPvP, where you can have different traits, etc. It’s hard to find a balance and choose a priority when traiting if you play both PvE and WvW regurlarly.

They tackle this issue by autoleveling you up to 80.. especially in sPvP. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a PvE character or if it were a PvP-only character, you use the same gear. Interesting idea with the WvWvW-only character though, that might be worth note. But I think their idea was to make it so that PvP, W3 and PvE are a large blend of one experience so you don’t have to have 3 different characters if you want to do all 3

Filling up 3 character slots just to play all game modes? Sorry, but no. I rather have all professions equitable on one character than have different characters for each game mode.

I like the current system much better. I only have to create one character for each profession that interests me and I have access to every game mode. I even get to choose my own gear and have a separate skillbar for sPvP.

I don’t see any advantage to separating by character.

(I would like it better if it were easier to update gear/build for switching between PvE, dungeons, and WvW, but that’s a different idea.)
