Guild Wars 2

Now that there are reward tracks and dungeon reward tracks, why there isn’t a level-able fractal reward track in which you can obtain ascended armor/jewelry as final reward or, perhaps, a chance of getting a fractal skin?

yessssssssssssssssss !!!

yes please !!!

oh my god yes!

They can add fractals to the reward tracks, to cover all ‘pve’ bases. But then they should focus on pvp exclusive skins.

kitten YE! Fractal path is a MUST! why the kitten pvp player coiuld not get fractal wepaon skin?!

What was reasoning behind NOT creating fractal path?!

^ Resource-issue?

I don’t want them to take this too far. As it hurts the PVE exclusivity and thus will hinder pvp exclusivity in the future. Or atleast it would cause a kittenton of QQ if we’d ever get any.

We could use a reward CDI asap.

^ and how would it be a resource issue?

ascended items are account bound and will not affect the economy.

Ok to anything ascended…
Not ok with fractal skins >.> its the only PvE istancce only rare item not related to gold, TP or Gem shop.

Needs to stay as it is.

You d better get your own pvp only skins

Why would Pvers be able to get everything easy, meanwhile PvPers have to everything on the hardway? Just wondering.

actually i just want the ascended stats.

i will just slap free skins onto them anyway.

^This! I think that Fractal skins should be a PvE thing and that they should make equally (or perhaps even more) awesome (weapon?) skins for PvP. =)

I hope the will NOT implement, if u wanna fractal skin you should DO fractals is the pve end game it should be an ‘elite’ part… i m proud to use in pvp my fractal skin done with hundred hours of fractals, and also show my spvp title… and i dont wanna too much pve players on pvp, since the new patch solo q is became rubbish i was in top 300 and now i m out of the leaderboard cause of pve players that ruins my fun

no, no, no, no, no, no, no … (insert dredge voice)

i just want the ascended stats.

not the fractal skins.

Also because fractal skins are “easy” to obtain ._. took 1 year daily farming to get what i wanted….

Also if i remember well i can t have a dragon finisher from PvE.

For me, it is exactly the other way round.
I just would want the skins, not the stats.
But I would undesrtand, that fractal skins would be pve exclusve if:
1. We get some pvp exclusive skins (not some ugly backpiece) and
2. There are pvp tracks for all skins (except fractals) in PvP. With the patch, total amount of obtainable skins was reduced to armors skins & weapons and 5 different weapons from the region tracks. This is nothing.

than craft it – you get now all mats you need in pvp too

seriously we dont need more FREELOOT in this game

im all for fractal path with maby fractal relics and crafting mats i need to craft this things and MABY a very small chance at the end to get asc weapon chest armor chest ring or fractalskin like it is in fractals

but not guaranted – this would be stupid for the game and noone would do dungeonpaths anymore cause noone would need the exo stats

Oh, I forgot to mention, somehow I also got an ascendend ring out of a chest.
I’m not 100% sure if it was a chest from the kryta track, or a rank up chest.

However, the ring was total crap and I probably even had a lot of luck to even get an ascended ring…which is crap.

Edit:
I also just got an Ascendend armor chest out of one of the reward chests from the Arah track. So there is a way to get ascendend stats from pvp.

done 450 fotm’s, got 2 skins. now tell me how its easy to obtain.

fotm skins are exclusive pve skins, not tp, no craft, no badges. only drop
like tribal armor exclusive pvp skins.

there are must be such things. if you want it – you can go fotm and earn it

no.

we need more alternative methods to obtain ascended stats.

getting ascended stats via sPvP is fair and just.

do you have any idea how tedius it is to craft ascended gear in PvE?
it is quite ridiculous, though not as ridiculous as the grind for a legendary.

I do not want this to be implemented. Fractal is elite content and rewards there shouldn’t be gained the easy way. Let’s be honest. Grinding points and tracks in PvP requires absolutely no skill. However, playing a fractal lvl 50 is not easy, and can be very, very time consuming (if you get dredge fractal for example).

That’s grinding, if you’re unlucky. FOTM aint hard with friend groups. I understand that. But in PvP, as example, the old dragon rank wouldve taken YEARS. That was our ‘exclusive thing’. But it’s made easy for people.

dragon/phoenix rank was grinding too. skyhammer farmers. im not saying that 49 fotm is hard, with good group you can finish it in 40m (no dredge).

no reason to add fotm skins to pvp, well i dont see any. and why ppl wants them?
they are ugliest skins i ever seen in gw2. imho

As much as I do want sPvPers to be rewarded, I’d be against this. Fractals are supposed to be prestige PvE content and it’s already hard enough to find the incentive to do it.

Well to be fair, the drop-rate for Ascended items seems rather high from the new sPvP reward tracks.
I have personally gotten two rings, without even fully completing one, and there are people talking about getting armor-boxes and such as well.

I want fractal path for fractal skins

I got an Angchu Weapon Chest days ago from like the first balthazar reward chest. I agree with a poster above that the skins are not all the best. I’m thinking of either going with the torch cause its green fire or the scepter cause it glows. Hurray for 84% MF.

ooooo thanks for sharing! i have plenty of ascended rings though. in the past, over a few months, i did about 48 (i did not use the pristine fractal relics) fractal runs and gotten quite a few.

i have not yet gotten any ascended weapon or armor boxes from PvE fractals yet though.

oooo nice!

but the balthazar path cannot be repeated. : (

i wonder if the other reward track path have a good chance to score some ascended armor or weapon boxes?

I have been working on getting a fractal dagger skin for several months now running lvl 49-50 fractals almost daily, it would be really ironic and in my opinion plain silly if I finally get the skin from pvp.

Keep in mind I’ve said “a chance to get a fractal skin”.

Yes, fractal is high level content, as much is PvP. I don’t see, then, why it is bad to give a chance also to PvP exclusive players to get fractal skins.
The whole point of reward tracks and the new reward system is that players are going to take the same rewards regardless of the gamemode they enjoy the most.

You like running fractals but hate PvP? Then go to run fractals.
You can’t stand to run a single fractal but you like playing PvP competitively? Then you can get fractals rewards through PvP.

I don’t see anything to be upset about.

I’d rather have new skins then fractal skins. Give the pve, wvw and competitive pvp crowd some exclusive skins and fluff.

ok – i ask you why not have than wvw track too where we get in pvp the skins from wvw tournaments? OR give this wvw skins in fractals too so the PVE people can get it too?

plz understand some skins/things/items have to be unique to an mode or it make the mode worthless

I feel like Fractals should remain a PvE exclusive thing. Both its challenges and rewards. We’ve had dungeon skins in PvP already for a long time, so that’s a separate issue. Assuming we’re getting a league system later this year, PvP will be gaining a new system with exclusive rewards. Until then, sadly, all we have is the Bathlazar reward track.

WvW and PvE is pretty much the same thing, as you can just follow the blob and get the rewards.
It follows the same balance, same equipment and same stats of PvE, so in my eyes it is pretty much the same gamemode.

PvP, on the other hand, suffers for having the lack of several skins available to other gamemodes, including the legendary ones, as you can’t make a legendary weapon without going through WvW or PvE, while you can easily make it without touching PvP at all.

Since I see that the direction they are heading to is not to create exclusive skins and rewards to PvP but just reproduce the rewards you get from PvE/WvW in PvP, then it is fair to make all the skins available in those gamemodes in PvP too, otherwise PvP will remain the crippled and underwhelming version of WvW/PvE reward-wise.

I am of the mind that the Fractal Skins should stay exclusive to Fractals as the PvP skins are all going to be exclusive to PvP.

No skins. Let’s keep some exclusivity between PvP and PvE. If PvP has all the skins PvE does, why should PvP get exclusive skins?

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Fractal skins have no stats. They’re just that.. skins.

.
.

And huge lol to people thinking PvEers have it “so easy” regarding getting fractal skins.

A track for ascended items? Sure, why not. Fractal skins, just no.

Iason Evan.3806:

To be fair right now the exclusive PvP skins are tradable, and thus they aren’t really exclusive to PvP.

Again, I don’t know if it’s intended. If they plan on making more pvp exclusives they better make it not sellable.

+1 fotm track, yes please.

I didn’t read all the posts above, but here’s my opinion anyway: The fracal rewards are so special because you can’t really get them from anywhere; you can’t buy them on the tradingpost for one thing. I like the new rewardstrack because it means that PvP-players can get a lot of cool stuff by playing PvP, but I really don’t think they should be able to obtain everything. In my opinion certain things should have additional prestige associated with them, for example: if you see someone with a balthazar back piece you know that they have been playing PvP and if you see someone with a fractal weapon you know that they have been playing fotm. So I think that a fotm-track would be going a bit too far

A lot of noise here but I would support the introduction of a Fractal Track – shiny pretties please.

Should be added!

NO just NO, why would I want those PvE skins only by playing PvP? This would just create another pointless flame between PvE and PvP.

How about giving us our own new and never existed before reward Track that offer Ascended items and exclusive PvP skins?

Changed my mind, this is even better!

I would rather see tracks included in the upcoming league system.
They could give exclusive skins for like “Play X matches in League Y” or even class-related.
Maybe even coupled with specific spots like Top 10, Top 25, Top 50, etc..
(Rewards could include Ascended Items too)

You only need laurels for that and you can already get those through PvP.

I think there should be a Fractal track and after a certain “level” in the track you can start to get ascended items, but you should NOT be able to get Fractal skins from it, that’s the Elite PvE skins that are of the few that are actually difficult to get.

That being said, I do think we should have our own special PvP track that’s for the “elite” PvPers (maybe make it based on only tourney wins or something and hot join can’t contribute to it?) that gives out fancy PvP weapons (and armor =D?) skins to show off how bad kitten we are.

Yes! Please! ArenaNet listen to your players! We want to get stuff super easy super fast! We don’t want to actually put some effort in! Please,. trivialise the only end game content you have in the name of Free Stuff.

Insert whiney crap about PvPers getting screwed out of items since forever

We AFK on Treb in Khylo! And by God, it’s time we got some recognition for it!

I don’t understand why it would be a big deal. In fact, there’s no reason that all PvP only skins shouldn’t be available in PvE and all PvE only skins should be available in PvP! This game launched with the idea of playing how you want to get what you want, and exclusivity in certain modes kills that. If you want to make it prestigious, make it so you have to be in certain places in the leaderboard and be doing Soloqueue/Teamqueue. Also, MAKE IT SO TEAM QUEUE IS FOR FULL TEAMS ONLY!

I guess you don’t PvP that much, don’t you?
Assuming Player vs AI requires some sort of effort except for grinding and mechanical knowledge.
