Guild Wars 2

Will this bring more players from PvE/WvW into PvP?

For example, the armor/weapon skin I get in PvP can be converted into transmutable pieces when I leave the Mists and go back to questing.

So as a result, I get to wear my whole set of Inquest when I am merely level 15 and that smells like ~victory!!

Just my two cents.

Yet obtaining the same looking equipment from PVE is usually less grind than PVP =]] Would you rather go 50 times to some crappy dungeon with certainty to get rewarded or would you rather try to farm people till you reach rank 40 or 50 from rank 1?

You made a point. However, being a tPvPer myself I actually was (very) lucky to obtain sets of Armageddon, Scaled, Inquest~~blah blah blah before I was even rank 10.
My character was only level 17 back then.

I would say tPvP CAN be less grindy if you went with the right group people. Or have the right level of skill.

I have to, though, agree with you that outside the tournament plays, everything is grind, especially those Rank 40+. There is just so much time needed one’s skills simply cannnot speed up the process.

~Then again, questing/leveling in PvE can also be categorized as grind, since you do have to invest far more effort/time over skills to level up. (/troll-face)

How bout this.
You bring your PvE armour and stats into PvP!! Its only your accessories and rings etc that get disabled.

But what if I am not level lvl 80?..Relax buddy, it’s ok..you can create a pvp only toon that has access to anything you’ve unlocked in PvE!!

But what if there is some things i have yet to unlock in PvE?..again, it’s all good buddy, you can use glory to unlock any item in game for pvp created alts.

What If I don’t have enough glory?..well my son, you gotta get playing then. You can’t just pick-up any ol’ flavour of the month build off the net just like that. You now have reason to stockpile glory for times you wanna do that.

What happens then once I have unlocked everything?..what do I do with glory now smart guy?..again it’s all good, you can use glory to purchase other rewards that can have benefit in both PvE and PvP..if your PvE toon you’ve hauling butt with in PvP doesn’t have a certain item, you can purchase chests that provide you with a chance to get more rare items.

This sounds a lot like guild wars 1..exactly…why did they abandon that system. This in my mind is my biggest question of all…why did they abandon perhaps one of the better reward systems in M.M.O games?

You need to play every day for 3 years to get rank 80 which doesn’t even unlock everything. PVP rank unlocks are ridiculous and really need to be changed.

Maybe if you won 100 tournaments with the armor equipped you unlocked the skin for pve..?

Or an item that allowed you to convert a pvp skin you’ve played enough matches with?

Alternatively the conversion item could only work for rank gear and not tournament gear, as that’s considerably easier to get given the appearance etc. Would pve exclusives complain though? I don’t have much grasp of that side of the game sadly.

You need to be able to wear armor/weapon skins you earn everywhere in the game; doesn’t matter if I earn it in Spvp, Fractals, crafting, WvW, etc. I’m rank 45, and I would love to just gear out alts (cosmetically) with stuff sitting in my pvp locker. However, it will never happen most likely, because I’m sure Anet thinks they’ll lose money from people that buy the special skins from the store and/or grind RNG chests for both pvp and pve/wvw. That little confirmation that comes up when you convert certain items to pvp tells me they intend to keep it the way it is, and make as much $$$$$$$$$ as they can.

I would support this, too. The fact that sPvP is not contributing to anything else outside itself is rather strange
