Guild Wars 2

As someone who likes mixing and matching gear in sPvP,I think that the new system might be a bit cumbersome.Though being able to get a piece of gear without going through the mystic forge is a quality-of-life improvement,I’m afraid that having to buy a whole set just to get to a specific piece of gear might mean a longer grind for people who don’t want to use complete sets.

Are the unwanted pieces recyclable in some way or do you just leave them in the locker?Was the “you can only buy the whole set” specific design decision so that people don’t complete their look too soon?

It as been a well discussed issue via Gem Gear, but I don’t believe its a totally bad thing for PvP, having multiple pieces of multiple sets, might show a bit more prestige in the look of your character. And the current system, even if it will be deleted, the gear earned will stay, so you can get the gear you want before they fully change the system. Unless your low rank :/

I actually have all the gear I want for my characters and their look has been finalized for months.

My concern is for new players coming into sPvP,who might like to experiment with their characters’ look rather than getting a standard set.

My idea would be to offer separate pieces at increased prices or the whole set where its current price would be considered a,let’s say 40% discount.

So you could buy the whole set for 30.000,meaning that each piece cost you 5.000.
Alternatively,you could buy each piece individually at 8350.

Well when 85% of the gear design on this game is kitten, and all you have left is to pick 1 piece randomly from different equipments sets..

Also it’s still not clear what is inside the Mystery Coffer

Also it’s still not clear what is inside the Mystery Coffer

maybe its rank 1-80 gears since the 8 different tiers of glory vendor is removed

I am rly happy do finally get the Dredge Helmet.

However, I dont even know, if I will buy any of those sets.

Why spending 10-100ks of glory AND some gold for PvP skins now, when in a few month, ANet will make PvE skins transferable into PvP skins, which means I will get the same stuff for my dungeon tokens, which are far less effort.

So you will need more gold for buying PvP skins via PvP, than just running dungeons and buying them for tokens lol
