Guild Wars 2

So after quitting sPvP and doing PvE/WvWvW, i have got my hands on a full exotic gear, and cool looking skins, in around a week, while it would take around a year to get the same skins in sPvP, whats up?

There are people with those skins now.

Which would disprove your point entirely.

What was your point again?

You know that “cool looking” depends only on you? For example for me the coolest looking heavy armor is obtained in less than a day by playing free tournaments.

The only thing that’s super hard to get in pvp is cultural armor, which isn’t that big of a deal…

At what level do u get Arah, Citad of Flame and Corrupted gear in sPvP? Cause i have done way more sPvP than PvE and i haven’t seen them yet in sPvP.

You can earn higher level stuff by winning Free and Paid tournements.. otherwise you’ll have to rank up and them hope to either get the item in the Chests or salvage gear and use the Mystic Forge to get the gear you’re looking for.

There is a system to which ranks provide which gear, but I don’t remember it off hand. As unhelpful as it may be, a quick google search would likely provide the answer.

Tbh they should put more weapons/sets in pvp. I mean, where’s all the cool items we can get in the mystic forge, like Essence of Forefire or the legendaries? Or the gem store sets that we can transmutate and use in 3W? I’m not asking to be easy to obtain those, but at least know I have a chance to do so…

What’s wrong with having the cool looking aesthetic items take a long time to get?

There are plenty of nice looking stuff you don’t need to play much to get.

i just hope they will increase glory gain on higher rating games (when implemented) + they could increase glory gain for tournaments even more (not first win, but rest, e.g. 200/400/600 for free and 300/600/900 for paid)

Bro.. bro, They made it so easy to get Full paid gear I don’t even know what you’re crying for.. You want Inquest/Orrian/etc? Do the Pvp daily/monthly that’s 41 tickets for pvping for literally 2 hours a day, or 8 chest runs per month, pick out the gear you want do your 8 chest runs Salvage it up, get some sliver together and you too can look like a pimp like all the other chestrunners.

Easy? lol your idea of the longest grind ever in MMO history is easy?

Or tpvp where you have to coordinate 4 other RL people to join you at a time you and they aren’t at work, with a family, etc etc.

If your idea of easy is consuming 70% of your free time not considering sleep than I shudder at how ugly your GF must be, or how rough your palm is.

Imagine you had more responsibilities in life than loggin off when your mom told you to cut the grass, than talk to me about easy. Cuz i got full ranks of lvl 80 honor gear in Wow before I got 10 ranks of BS cosmetic gear in GW2.

And WoW never promised me no grinds GW2 did.

Those people play like 10+ hours a day.

For someone that might average 1-2 hours a day, it would take you years to hit the higher ranks.

It took me 80-90 hours to just hit rank 20 (or about 4 months, but I played on and off).

And so? Why is this a problem?

GW2 also didnt say they wouldnt have grind. They did say that Grind wouldnt relate to power. (ascended not withstanding, fix tba).

If you want to grind 10 hours a day for a particular armor set, there is nothing stopping you. But I can do just fine in the starter set with the exact same stats.

why do you think that pvpers are flustered even more than they should be OP?

I’m not so sure putting legendary weapons in would be a good idea since we already have enough particle effects lagging up the game there are atm but I do know that u can get ultra rare weapons like the precursor for the dreamer in spvp, called dwayna’s shortbow. It involved getting a triple critical success in the mystic forge with paid tokens and slivers. Double critical successes would give orrian weapons, regular critical successes give kodan and no critical successes give arching/inquest weapons.
