Guild Wars 2

So we saw that the new skills will cost 25 skill points, however I think there should be a different way of doing it, more exciting and challening. Skill Points do not mean anything now and most people have piles of them lying, so I think there should be points of higher tier called Superior (or w/e) Skill Points. These type of SP will have to be collected by doing special mini dungeons, bosses, event chains, scavenger hunts. Activities, for short. This will be more exciting way of getting them. The skills could cost from 1-5 depending on their tier (ex. 1 for healing, 2-3-4 for Utility, 5 for elite)

shouldnt this be in Suggestions?

Well they are just going to move it so it will be a very short lived thread.
Any way the problem you fail to see with your ideal is that these new heal skills are for spvp too. Your going to forces ppl who Spvp to pve. Soon you can level up in Spvp and get skill points in doing so skill points are the best and only way to unlock new skills.

The current skill system makes sense and works, so let’s not muck it up unnecessarily.

Let’s use current skill points to unlock skills. They aren’t useful for much else which is why people have stockpiles of them already. Pvp and WvW people wouldn’t be happy if they had to PvE to unlock these new skills

I think the player base is kind of fed up with all the various currencies in the game. Adding more seems counter productive.

Ditto. The last thing I want is yet another currency.

I wouldn’t mind earning new skills in a new way, like Healing Tome: Antitoxin Spray. They just need to be a little more interesting in their acquisition than “Do I want to pay ____ gold or 25 SP for it?”

Perhaps they could be implemented as a meta-achievement? That could handle the “do this, this, and this” aspect of it, reward a tome at the end, provide something for AP hunters, and provide some interesting, permanent goals, like Tequatl and Aetherpath’s achievements do, without being quite as location-limiting as they are, or requiring the introduction of yet another currency.

Edit: Scratch that idea; I don’t like how it would play with achievements being account-based instead of character-based.

WANT, WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!

I think they should take a lesson from gw1 and make it so that you can have many skills that unlock doing world events/ mini open world duns/ particular bosses….Elite capture skills etc etc.

Absolutely agree. I do not want to waste my time working for skills when I have already earned skill points to purchase such things. I would rather be doing the things I enjoy in game, then to be doing the things the OP thinks I should do in game.

What they could do is make a new skill point challenge that would be more involved and would just offer more skill points when completed. That way people can experience the GW1 style skill acquiring system without having to generate a new currency.

And those not interested in getting new skills could still have a purpose for the skill points if they are going for a legendary or two.
