Guild Wars 2

So I was looking at ways to implement say Southsun Cove and Fractals in to the rewards treks and came up with having them unlocked by the region trek progression. It would work, it would give players a reason to progress through the region treks and as well give them a reward trek to look forward to for skins they want.

On Southsun Cove trek I would look at adding some of the specialty mobs and nodes to the rewards with the Karka Queen being the final reward. It would be also pre-requisite to get the next trek, fractals/World Bosses.

Fractals rewards trek. every second box have a tier reward and everytime you finish the trek have it level the player up in fractals. Have the treks downscaled to their current level, thus meaning they still have to invest in getting the gear if they want it from the rewards trek. If need be seperate the PvP and PvE levels. For rewards I would say give them a champ box and relics for odd boxes and even boxes give them 11 21 31 41 rewards for completing it. Yeah they may get rings they don’t want and other crap, but at least it will give them the chance like PvEers to get fractal skins and it wouldn’t be just a hand-out for grinding.

The World Boss treks I have no idea how to handle and categorize, but it would be an interesting thing to see for people like me who want skins from the bosses but hate dealing with the zerg affair.

But apart from that I will say I enjoy the new treks setup, it has got me in sPvP a lot more actively then I use to be. And actually gives you a feeling of getting rewards even if they are minuscule, but at least it is there.

So, play PvP in order to unlock fractal content you don’t know how to do?

Considering how they took away the ability to get most of the skins in pvp ?
Yes. it’d be nice.

PvE heros get a full set of new skins at the end of may, pvpers?
Balthazar backpack guys. it’s so good.

Hopefully this is just the tip, and Anet is just getting ready to shove it in.

Actually, it is not at all about not being able to do the content, it is about other ways to get the rewards for it without making that way immediately better then doing the dungeon. I do the dungeon daily on 49 but with getting dredge every day it is getting to be a mindlessly boring 2 hour grind just to get the chance at skins. Where as with PvP, atleast I would be having fun and not just starting at the screen to see when to dodge.

The dungeon is not as complicated as the PvE community makes it seem, all that is required is knowing when to dodge and enough AR to make it to where you don’t die on final boss. Past that nothing else really is hard. I run zerker mesmer in Fractals and still have no problems running them, so if the content was so complicated, then why can I get on a class that is not my main and do it? Yes I did learn fractals with mesmer since at the time most Engi and Eles were ignored for the better skilled groups so thus I grabbed my 80 mesmer and used it for something since it was a high pick. So when it comes down to it, knowing game mechanics is the same between PvE and PvP, the difference comes in to play when it comes to also knowing class mechanics and builds of which is not required for PvE.

So I see no reason that just becuase PvEers think that PvPers don’t deserve the same loot that it should not be a reward trek. Yes PvP has a limited back piece, how many limited back pieces does PvE have now? 12 is it that are not buyable off the TP? So don’t say anything about 1 single back-piece that is PvP only becuase that does not justify tons of skins not to be accessible by the PvP only players. Not all players are like me and do PvX, so they have to grind out the achieves to get half of those through PvE content or just not get them.

It’s funny how PvP players want PvE exclusive rewards because something was taken out of PvP. Dear neighbour, my goat has died, therefore yours must die as well. Excellent logic.

How about you guys ask for what is right and proper, meaning PvP exclusive rewards? Stuff you can only get in PvP?

excellent logic, terrible analogy,
a better analogy would be your farm having only a one-legged chicken (ugly bathazaar backpack) and your neighbours farm being given a whole herd of cows, flock of sheep and brood of chickens. (ascended skins, legendaries, and dozens of other skins and backpacks that aren’t available in pvp)

I never once asked for stuff to be removed from PvE, so that analogy is quite off base. Though as Liewec stated, PvE already has tons of exclusive content that I haven’t even made mention towards.

Though another point towards my push, ANet did this patch to bring PvE and PvP closer together, not give PvE players a reason to say PvP players do not deserve everything they get because they PvP rather then whack at AI all day. Why does killing AI mean better rewards? Why are PvE players so against PvP players getting access to some of the skins that PvEers have access to? Did I ask for a legendary trek that gives you a free pre-cursor? No, becuase that would be nonsense and just absolutely against what a legendary is about. I asked for a tier based fractal trek with it also being level based like normal fractals. As well another trek to do before unlocking it that has potential to be tied to Exploration treks.

Another thing to mention, is unless they set in a system to punish AFK farmers I would rather not see more PvP exclusive rewards since it just promotes players to hop in till they get the rewards and then leave. So thus having PvP exclusive content is more of a punishment to PvP players then it is to PvE content being accessible to PvP.

A reward track for fractal Skin would be nice for People has no interest in grinding such Content for the random Chance of a Skin and end up with another Skin they dont want

My idea would be tracks of other gods
Dwayna and Grenth for example to unlock just the Skins of the wintersday Skins.
Kormir to get the angelic wings so many asked for.
Melandru and Lyssa…here i have no idea

Fractal rewards should remain PvE exclusive, if PvP players get exclusive skins then PvE players should get their own exclusive skins as well. Personally, i’d like to just see Southsun track and have it give Southsun mats (passiflora, karka shells, karka boxes etc) and then ALSO wrap the tribal items in there as well as medium and heavy version of the tribal gear and make those PvP exclusive.

I’d also say add another track that offers another set of exclusive gear… but that’s just me.

You can already get the dungeon rewards. And the second Anet decided fractal weapons would be completely random drops, they completely threw out any skill being involved with getting them.
Getting to level 11 is only hard if you don’t know how to play. The rest is purely based on luck.

And luck in this game is a kitten. If you are lucky in this game, you will keep being lucky. If you aren’t, then have fun grinding level 50 over and over again for something someone got on level 11 on the first try.
