Guild Wars 2

Jonathan! I know you’re undermanned and all that trying to make miracles happen with sPvP but this seems to be the easiest decision someone could ever make… Add 1 laurel to the PvP daily and BOOM you’ll have tons of people who never would’ve thought of doing sPvP in there doing it anyway to get their laurel.

If even 1% of those people actually realizes they enjoy sPvP it served it’s purpose.

I think the #1 thing in sPvP that is lacking is population of regular players. Sure you have your ultra hardcore competitive paid tourny guys… But that isn’t enough. You need that fluffy casual base at the bottom. This is a great way to get it.

I agree it would be cool to give incentive for more ppl to try spvp. But its actually the exact reason why they can’t.

It would go against the fundamental design where spvp is to be treated as a completely different game than WvW and PvE. This is to ensure that Spvp remains the pure competitive pvp system that it is without being tainted by pve gear, grind, etc.

If they had laurels for the pvp dailys, then the ppl who pve and wvw mostly would feel like their being forced to do spvp. This is because the laurels have actual benefits for them, whereas laurels dont really bring any benefits to the spvp game.

I know its hard to imagine that some ppl only play this game for the PvE, (no seriously, how is that possible??) but they do exist.

Simple answer, this is clearly a pve game and the pvp players are not entitled for these rewards. If you want them you better leve the mists and force yourself to do pve as punishment for pvping to much…

What’s the huge deal about giving some gold, karma and/or experience in spvp, as long as it’s better to do open world pve or dungeons to get gold, experience and/or karma, pve players can play pve and spvp players get some for wvw or pve, and maybe some pve players try spvp.

And the other way around? Why should I be forced to do pve when I want to use those laurels to buy those unid dyes and minis. Dailies/monthlies are optional. If they really want to keep it split they can always add a pvp laurel vendor with some stuff in it.

pst dont tell him that some pvp-player want also shiny stuff from gem shop that has no real benefit.. he cant understand that!

cause if u buy a minipet u destroy the whole spvp balance cause now u play 2vs1.. thats unfair u know?

What rmBossa said is funny because it’s exactly how PvE lessens a lot of our fun with WvW—W/o PvEing, you can’t have the best gear for WvW.

I would love to add laurels in daily and monthly pvp.
I do only spvp in that game now and i would love to gear up my main pve char in that way. I wish Jonathan to take care of it.

I thought it was very strange when I did my PvP daily and didn’t get a laurel. Why introduce a new type of daily reward and then ignore half of the dailies?

Pretty sure in their last State of the Game address they mentioned they would be implementing systems like this for PvP as well, but that they didn’t want to have the pvpers feel they had to pve and the pve’ers to feel they had to pvp. PvE system got implemented, I suspect the pvp one will come with a pvp update sometime in the future.

Would be pretty nice, another way to get dyes for diehard pvpers

I agree with this op 100% and maybe even add some to winning paids

Yeah, good idea!

no idea what laurel is but sounds good. bump

It would be cool, but there would also be a lot of complaints from pure PvEers. A lot of PvEers feel the need to get the maximum possible rewards, but hate PvP with a passion. If it’s possible to get 2 laurels in 1 day, they’ll do it, but they probably won’t enjoy it. Unfortunately, hotjoins are not balanced, and you are not guaranteed to play against people of equal rank (much less equal skill level) when using the “play now” button. I’m afraid that this idea would encourage a lot of people to try PvP, but very few of them to stay.

Maybe it would be better to only reward 1 laurel per day, but it could be for completing PvE OR PvP dailies? PvEers would still come over and try it, especially if it became known how easy it is to get the daily PvP reward (probably even faster than the PvE daily). But they wouldn’t feel “forced” to PvP.

If you don’t believe me, start the same thread in “general GW2 discussion” or “dungeons,” and watch the forum explode. Actually, that sounds kind of fun.

Because I’m too lazy to write it out in this thread as well.

+1 for Laurels from PvP Daily/monthly.
