Guild Wars 2

Since the last topic made me realize that the trend is going to continue with pvp skills costing traits I figured a poll/new thread was required.

I just wanted to stop by and let you guys know that we are listening. We’re looking at a few different ways to address the time investment it currently takes to get new skills in PvP, but it’s not something we’re able to talk about quite yet.

You’ll see a drastically different system in place in our next major rewards release that should address many of your concerns.

Until the new system is ready PLEASE REMOVE THE COST OF PVP SKILLS. Thanks

If healing skills cost 25 skill points, how much would new Utilities and Elites cost? 50? 100?

Do you guys want to see new elites cost 100 skill points?

strawpoll speaks for itself 75% want skill costs removed!

The skill point costs should be removed completely (forever). It’s insulting and completely unnecessary. This imbalances PvP majorly and forces people to PvE.

I already made a poll and 80% wanted it removed. All real pvpers hate this change.

These skills were designed by people who’ve never spvp’d. 70% of them are awful.

i think they (anet) wants to remove sPvP only players from guild wars 2 while introducing new stuffs to attract existing PvE / WvW players to try out sPvP.

because, for any PvE / WvW players, they will have more than enough skill points to unlock those new skills which require 25 skill points to unlock.

only those pure 100% sPvP players are affected.

also, generally, PvE / WvW players tend to spend more often on the gem store when compared against sPvP only players. at least this is what i think. i am sure they (anet) have access to such information.

so, it is only very natural for them to find creative means to convert the PvE / WvW crowd and not bother much to retain the sPvP purist crowd which may seems like a lost cause for them (anet) so we can’t really blame them (anet) actually. this is my view regarding this matter.

ya, double them for sure

Up to 80 %

I really hope the new elites dont cost 100 skill points and they remove the skill point cost of the heals soon!

I think it’s a necessity to remove any cost for PvP-related skills/runes or anything that has any impact on the fairness for newer Players and/or non-PvE Players.

It’s frustrating, unnecessary and stands against anything that wants to resemble e-Sports.

I think they are trying to implement some kind of character progression and make spvp as fun as it can be. I think the lofty goals of making an mmo e-sport has floated away. Fairly obvious when they released skyhammer, really. Adding progression to wvw and then season 1 drastically increased wvw numbers, so they are applying those lessons to spvp. Wow arena had a better run in the esports world than gw2, and there was definately gear progression there.

Anet will eventually do something similar I think. Though a lot slower progression than wow, similar to how ascended has rolled out. Just my 2 cents.

Char progression…… I haven’t WvW since launch and now I’m so far behind and don’t feel like spending a month getting all ascended gear.

Still waiting to play spvp. Please remove the skill cost, This sucks, Cant even Spvp now!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get back to me Anet when skill costs are removed and I can play again and we aren’t forced into buying 3 extra char slots if we want to delete our lvl 1 spvp char and remake it, since some only have 5 slots and want to play all 8 classes.

Please fix this

Anet?
Why cant they just be temp disabled? Until a fix comes in the next balance patch?
