Guild Wars 2

Will the Voodoo pvp armor (masquerade for level 30) that is only a pvp armor skin be able to get after the April 15th patch?

I’d like to know too. I would love to have it for my necro in PvE…

Also for medium armor:

I don’t remember seeing these sets in PvE. I hope there will be available in PvE after April 15th.

Yes but you have the earn them through pvp. But the wardrobes are combining.

you can only get the commando armor in PvE from the main story line its like 75-80 ish for the rewards.

I’m really curious about this too, especially after reading this line:

“As the Wardrobe replaces the gear locker, PvP crafting materials will be removed from the game, so be sure to craft anything you want before the April 15 update.”

So then, how will it be acquired after April 15th? Will there be a new method to obtaining armor sets like this, perhaps outside of PvP? I hope that’s the case, as I’m not a competitive player, and I REALLY want that Voodoo set for use in PvE.

Agreed, I just checked the wiki and it looks like you have to a) get to Wolf reward chests b) salvage out rng tokens c) use said tokens in the Forge for an rng 1 in 3 shot at the Masquerade.

Playing since launch, doing enough WvW to world explore twice, occasionally doing WvW for fun with my guild, I’m still at early Rabbit in WvW. I’ve never played a PvP match (might have, if the npc hadn’t been bugged at launch and if I could have played with guildies) so yeah, I’m not gonna be getting reward chests at any level let alone Wolf.

That may mean I don’t get the skin. Fair enough. But those who are willing to do the PvP work for it should have a way to get it.

No! Not fair enough, Donari! That skin is too awesome! ;_;

I just don’t think there should be armor sets strictly obtainable through PvP, especially now that they’re unified, because not everyone is super-competitive. Dungeons I can understand, but I hope there’ll be a new way to nab that Voodoo (PvP Masquerade) set for PvE use.

Got it last year after they announced the changes were coming waaaaay back in December.

If you waited until now to be concerned about it, the chance of getting it at this point starting from ground zero from the current system is pretty small. I imagine they will add it to the Reward Tracks in PvP in the future.

First of all, good job, Karizee. I should’ve done that.

Secondly, this is exactly why there needs to be an alternate method of obtaining this, as right now there are really high barriers-to-entry in PvP to newcomers (actually I’ve had this game since launch day, just never touched PvP). I’d be lucky to find a place anywhere at the bunny rank I am currently.

…groan… I just want that armor set, that’s all I ask. >_<

They have stated that there will be more unique skins from sPvP in the future. If you are interested in obtaining them you might want to jump into PvP to start learning this game mode, it’s really very fun!

You’re probably right, Karizee. I just dread the idea of dealing with pretentious jerks who’re gonna flame me outta my chair for being bunny rank with NOOB this and NOOB that (though I assure you, I’m no slouch. I’m just not competitive. I’m a co-op guy). Typically I laugh and ignore them, but if they have the power to kick me, I can’t ignore the boot.

All in all though, Karizee, if it comes down to it, I’m more than willing to dive into PvP and scrap with these guys to get that armor set. I hope it’s as fun as you say so, friend.

…and I also hope it won’t be TOO tedious to grind.

My experience is it is the most friendly PvP that I’ve experienced in any MMO – the same friendly community spirit of GW2 carries over to PvP as well.

Probably the first thing you want to do is get familiar with the maps and you will start to understand the strategies as you go. Hot join is kind of a hot mess since there is no separation between MMR or rank for the maps, anyone can join anything. But solo queue is really good for matching you with and against similarly skilled/ranked players.

Hot join is good in that it doesn’t affect your standing on the leaderboards so if you don’t mind dying a lot a first while you learn the maps, jump on in. Otherwise you might take a bit of heat if you are just aimlessly running around rather than capping or working with your mates in solo queue.

Good notes, Karizee. Thanks.

Also, I’m way not concerned about leaderboards and W/L records, as you probably know my end-goal by now. I didn’t know I’d need to memorize maps, so I’ll keep that in mind, though I’ll probably just memorize them as I go.

Can I gain rank in any PvP mode, or just leaderboard stuff? And should I start now or wait until after the April update?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m just really stoked and determined now that I got the official confirmation of gear unification, and I’m trying to plan the best route to take in getting what I want. ;P

This is a great post for new to PvP players that has all the info you need:

Good luck!

(ps. If you jump in now any ranks you earn before the 15th will get you a free transmutation charge)

The PVP Commando armor is PS reward skin from the final few PS steps (before Zhaitan)

I dont see an issue if PvP has some exclusive skins to promote that gamemode

Thanks again for all the helpful tips, Karizee! As I said, I’m not much for PvP (co-op all the way), but I’ll give it a whirl now that I can grab that Voodoo set and use it ANYWHERE! And who knows, maybe I’ll end up liking PvP at the end of all this. Could be fun! ’:)
