There are too many PvE elements in PvP. I believe that a lot of adjustments can help streamline the entire PvP process of getting from the lobby and right into the action. Seeing the changes to the WvW interface makes me believe that PvP should benefit from these types of changes as well.

For starters, I should have the option of joining a game straight from the PvP panel, rather than running to an NPC. This would include an option for regular and tournament play. We basically queue into a PvP match as we do for WvW Battlegrounds. I do like the immersion that Hearts of the Mists brings, but for the sake of expediting the process, this running about should be optional.

Players should have the ability to access multiple builds complete with weapons and armor selections. We should have the option of changing these builds on the fly before a match starts. To put it into perspective, accessing builds should be as easy as changing a class in Call of Duty (forgive the reference if anyone hates this game). To build onto that idea, the developers should have pre made builds ready to go for newcomers. This could give any PvP devotees an insight as to what the developers believe would make a great DPS or Bunker build. People would be more apt to experiment knowing that the build they are comfortable with is accessible without the need to leave PvP to rebuild.

We do not need inventory in PvP. There is an awkwardness that comes when accessing your inventory in PvP. Everything PvE is frozen and unclickable. This clash is made more apparent when we need to access a PvP locker to transfer items into our inventory in order to use them. So instead when I hit “I” in Hearts of the Mists, the PvP locker should open instead. Viola! Everything we need that is PvP is accessible immediately. There should be no need to run to an NPC to “buy” runes and jewels. They should be available from the PvP Locker and behave like dyes. Why is there an option to store jewels when we need to buy a new one from an NPC anyway? Everything is free, so why can’t everything be accessible from the PvP locker. No need to transfer one glory booster into my inventory when I can just double click it on the PvP locker. The default skin can be added to the collection and behave like a dye (always available if needed) and equipment skins can be dragged directly to your character. This leads to my next suggestion.

Remove a portion of the Mystic Forge process. I believe that using the Mystic Forge is a little too complicated to be interesting in PvP. I find myself jumping back into PvE to retrieve a forgotten PvP Salvage kit way too often. Breaking skins down into components seems trivial and too time consuming to belong in PvP. In order to forge a new pair of leggings you need 5 Arcane Powders, an Arcane Orb, an Arcane Crystal, and one Leggings Token and you will get a….. a random pair of leggings. All of these smaller components should be removed and we should be allowed to throw repeat equipment directly into the Mystic Forge. Maybe we could even trade them into the NPC for a small amount of glory.

Making adjustments like these will make PvP streamlined for people who want to focus on PvP and not have to rely on a PvE setup in order to get to the action.

If you don’t want to do any of that you don’t have to. Simply log out next to the PvP character and ignore the gear. It doesn’t matter if you just want to focus on PvP, anyways.
