All you gotta do is get a lot of achievement points.

Time for some more PvE.

i’m really curious what will we get we’ll see in one week ^^

Must PvE for PvP rewards. ugh

maybe rewards will be separated in more categories, not only for overall achi score…

what
the
kitten

Is this just to make the pve kids who whine about their ugly gear when they pvp happy? god, some decisions in this game are beyond stupid.

It says rewards to pvp skins… nothing about specifically NEW skins coming.

It makes no sense if the pvp armors could only be bought through achievements…achievements is pretty much a PVE thing.

I’d be happy if we could get gold with pvp, then.

Even if maybe then the Mists might get flooded.

This is so stupid, what are they thinking with achievement points? This is the PVP community, why do we have glory!? What is ANET doing seriously…

Awesome. There needed to be a connection between PvE and PvP. Currently both aspects of the game are mutually exclusive, even though skills etc are shared across the entire game. PvP players want skills boosted and nerfed accordingly without caring how it affects PvE. New players to PvP get starter skins which puts a big shining target on them as “Likely an easy kill.” As your rank increases, so does the demands to reach the next level..that gives enough incentive that if you can choose between a player in Arah gear or starter gear, why not go for the newbie first and take the easier points? There needed to be a connection. I do truly hope PvE achievements give benefits to appearances etc in PvP.

You don’t HAVE to do PvE to get these skins. You do get achievement points from PvP. You just will get them faster if you do both… just like PvErs will get them faster if THEY do PvP dailys too.

I fail to see what all the huff n puff is about, it’s just skins.

Actually, the target tells me: “be gentle with them, they are new”. What’s the fun in ganking an unexperienced player?

I’m just excited at the opportunity to acquire more glory boosters, yeah! Can’t get enough of that glory, oh yea! Gotta get more glory, oh yeah!

Apparently 250+ stacks of glory booster, tiger finishers, and tiger tokens sitting around isn’t enough already.

You really would be gentle in tourmanet with some player ?! I wont!

SIRIC the pro PvE and PvP player, thx for teaching me I never know

Yeah, PvP achievements…

r53, 4417 games played, 813 PvP achievement points, out of 6k+ total I got.
I feel the chance of getting skins through PvP achievements only is… zero.

I would like to think the skins are being put in for pvp players, but its more than likely put in for pve players to be able to obtain cool omg skins, and get them to do some spvp. We’ll be able to tell by the value needed; interesting that will be.

It pleases me that Anet has the resources to guarantee a major pve content release every 14 days.

ahahahahahahahahaha

ANet trolls its player base again!
Did you guys expect anything different?

Can we get some clarification is this is a new achievement system. As in we will be rewarded pvp achievement points for pvp.

People like to complain

As soon as I saw this I laughed hysterically. Why is it that PvE players are consistently rewarded and PvP players are left to being rewarded with self satisfaction. This patch if anything is simply increasing the disparity between PvP players and PvE players. Lets give more rewards to the PvE players and force PvP players to PvE in order to get PvP skins. Nice logic.

You Sir, are a nice guy. Unfortunately a lot of people aren’t and just want the rank increase sooner rather than later.

Well, them achievements can go ki§§ my a§§. :P

Hotjoin is not tournament. In tournament, if not honorable fights happen, first I kill, then I apologize for the enemy’s unfortunate death.

Why i am not surprised? Next time make us reach pve 80 for being able to go pvp…at this point…why not? God this guys are idiots…

“Play the way you want and earn powerful rewards as you do so!”

This gave me some hope, so I’ll wait untill it’s released before complaining.

So i’m not the only one who read that on release…

Dev’s answer is actually needed i guess, why did you write something and you did the opposite forcing us to go pve in order to get pvp stuff? Cough cough..gems…cough..custom arenas kits…cough cough..

….anyone? JS? Karl? I’m looking @ you…..

I just hope we get more armor as in chestpiece and legpiece, boots and gloves.

Theres enough weapon skins out there and I found the one I like but im not satisfied with how I look.

Safe to assume that pvp skins will be unlocked by pvp achievements, rendering all this QQing useless.

Lol, this.
PVPers still have armor skins that are accessible nowhere else in the game. Until that changes? Shaddap.

Right, because winning 10,000 tournaments is an effective way to gain Achievement Points.

I’m the PvE kid and I agree. Even Twilight is better love story, than Anet & PvP community relationship XD

Obviously not. lol

At no point did they say you had to do PvE to get these skins. Heck, thry didn’t even say you need X amount of points to unlock X skin.

For all we know, they could be unique PvP skins awarded with unique achievements, like 1000 tournament kills etc.

Looks like wishful thinking once again. Part of me wanted to agree with you, though.

grrrr why cant they do something like that??

it would be so nice to have some level of prestige back in the mists. The closest thing we have now is having a “champion x” title on of a different class your not currently playing… lol

so now the patch is out, sorry if i missed anything, but i don’t recall reading anything about nwe skins in PvP? or are the Zenith weapons unlocked using APs the new skins and we can use them in PvP as well?

It would be the latter, but nobody has access to them atm since chests are made available every Daily reset (they will start showing up tomorrow)

aye to get more achievements you need to do pve, I assume this is a push to get pve players into pvp by rewarding pve players that have a lot of achievements completed.

can’t wait for next SOTG and complaints.
