Guild Wars 2

Is it true they are eventually merging your PvE looks with PvP? I have heard this from several sources and would love to know.

I really doubt it. The gear kind of has to stay separate due to the runes, sigils, stats are completely different. So it has to remain separate pieces of gear, so having some pvp set of gear that consistently changes to match your PvE appearance sounds like a ridiculous concept.

What the said was you’ll be able to use your PvP appearances in PvE and PvE looks in PvP. Not much else was said, but many assume it will be an account-wide skin bank. We can only hope.

Yea they won’t be “merging” the looks like OP stated.

But maybe making appearances more accessible to carry-over, or possibly the ability to put PvP runes on your PvE armor.

But still, in PvP I change weapons a lot. I use a lot of weapons in PvP that I don’t even HAVE a PvE version of, so they’ll always be separate from what I can imagine.

I don’t understand why you’re answering OP’s question with your imagination.

“In the months that follow, we will be working to eliminate the difference between PvP and PvE gear. Players will be able to earn gear in PvP that can be carried over to PvE and vice versa. This means that players who have carefully crafted their appearance in one area of the game will have a way to carry that look over to other areas of the game.

Even though we will be eliminating the distinction between PvP and PvE gear, gear in PvP will continue to not have stats. The armor and weapons you carry into PvP will be, like they are now, just for looks. Traits, skills, runes and sigils will still be different for PvP so you will continue to be able to have different builds in PvP and PvE."

i wonder if fractal back will also carry over…

I think it may be something like WvW skins, where for a fee or for free you could get your PvP skins and apply them to PVE equipment.
