Guild Wars 2

We know that there has been talk about the merging of pve and pvp gear etc. for the aesthetics to be transferable etc.

But other than gear, there are no cosmetic rewards for players who distinguish themselves in sPvP.

I propose that there should be a few extra perks to working your way through the pvp hordes other than some title noone rarely sees.

A few such additions would be:

- Custom portrait outlines for players who place in the top 50 (bronze), 25 (Silver) and 3 (gold) in SoloQ and Team Arenas (both have a different graphic style to differentiate). These graphics would be something akin to the outlines you see around veteran, elite, champion and legendary mobs, but not as plain. (fancier, and with a more war/pvp theme to it)

- Custom Finishers for players who reach certain title/achievement milestones, as well as the aforementioned rank status.

- Custom weapon skins available for players as they progress in ranks. Not only should they be able to unlock the basic, already available armors/weapons as they rank up from their reward chests and forge recipes, there should be a few custom skins that can be purchased with a good chunk of glory and the required rank.

- Capes…yep I went there. Ofc there should be ways for players in the PvE realm to get these as well, but they should definitely be available in a PvP format, rather than the little flags skewered into our backs that we were given instead….why are those even a thing

There are numerous other things you can potentially have!

Yep. I’d love to see unlockable armor skins every 10 rank in pvp as well. Resuable the same way Zenith weapons are.

You also need to find a way , so PvPers with those <<rewards>> will try PvE or WvW , and be used as <<moving advertaziment>>
Now that any1 can sign up for a PvP match from anywhere , they wont bothered to w8 in the PvP lobby and see your fancy <<rewards>>
Also if you are in 50th leaderboard ranking , only a monirity of ppl will see and fight you :P

I don’t think they need much to get people to “try” PvE….it is easy to get into, and easier to actually do.

You won’t need to sit in the lobby for rewards, you just grab em from a vendor and either join right back into pvp or do whatever other part of the game you wish….or like the previous poster said, similar to the Zenith skins that you can just access from the PvP window and unlock from there.

Also the portrait trim wouldn’t be that hard to find, more frequent in sPvP, but people can still be running around in WvW etc and people still see it….it is simply prestige, so that doesn’t really matter in the first place (it is mainly for you)

Maybe change it to Top 100/50/25 for SoloQ and Team Arenas (200 people in NA, 200 in EU)
