Guild Wars 2

Hey,

it would be great, if there would be a way to get the Eventchests/-items (any Event, not just the Dragon Bash right now) through sPvP.

Sure the Achievements and Stuff like that can be done in PvE, but if you really want those Weaponskins you have to grind PvE/WvW like a maniac to

a: get enough gold to trade this into gems to buy chests from the gemstore

or b: grind PvE/WvW to get enough Dragon Chests and get a lucky drop that way.

As an sPvPer i want those Items (especially Weaponskins) too. Its just not fair that the PvEers get all the good stuff for the things they like to do, but the sPvPers have to do, what they dont like.

In sPvP everything revolves around Glory, so maybe implement an Eventvendor who sells chests for Glory. Even if its “only” the normal Dragon Chests it would be great.

Where as if you follow my arguments (you get gold through pve -> you can trade that for gems -> you can buy Gemstore Eventchests) it would, in my opinion, be ok too, if you could get Gemstore Eventchests for Glory. Yeah i hear all those PvEers scream already but that would be a “fair” way for both types of players.

Another possibility would be to implement the possibility to change Glory into Gems from the Gemstore. That would just be fair, because PvEers can trade their currency into Gems too. Why shouldnt sPvPers have the same possibility? And maybe like that the screams wouldnt be that loud.

I would really appreciate when you think about the things i mentioned, because i really like the game you made, but i, as an sPvPer, feel a bit discriminated or at least in a disadvantage.

I don’t PvP, I solely PvE. I give you my blessing, it sounds only fair.

Thanks man,

i hope that the right people read it and Arenanet shows heart for their PvP Community.

Great suggestion, hopefully ArenaNet takes into consideration.

Maybe this thread better fits in the spvp section, because it should get the attention it deserves.

We learned quite well that mods like to move our threads out of sPvP forum, so might as well make it here and save them the trouble.

I like these suggestions. The only reason I do PvE is because I just can’t get gems and all the cool event skins through PvP. I find PvE boring and finding myself forced to do it is kinda…. meh.

Naive. Just naive. gems are profit. And PvE guys don’t buy gems for gold, they buy gem from OTHER PEOPLE who bought gems for real money. Who would pay with gems for glory, a currency that is totally worthless and stacks up so fast.

You can get the event gear’s pvp version from match win chests.

We need a method to get gold from pvp. With items we can sell.

I dont think, that all the Gems you are getting when trading your ingame Gold were previously purchased by other players for real money. That cant be, because the tournament win rewards (not ingame anymore) wouldnt fit in that.

Btw, I dont say that you should get 1 Gem for 1 Glory but in a good relation this would imo be pretty viable. It could be a system like we have with Gold, demand and supply. Why not for example 1000 Glory for 50 Gems or something like that. No need to argue on those numbers, just an example.

But yeah, maybe im naive to hope that the Glory i farm day by day would be really worth something sometime.

Like i said, i feel like the PvE-Players get everything for their currency and we get, well not that much.

Whatever form it takes, there does have to be a better reward system for PvPers which amounts to more than just some extra skins that are easily available to any PvE player. Make exclusive PvP skins, a miniature that only drops from sPvP chests, an Guild Wars 2 equivalent to Zaishen Keys, or some method to convert the worthless Glory we have all accumulated so much of. Arguing over the exact implementation seems superfluous, just let ANet know they need to look into this and pray to Dwayna that they do something to change it before 2015.

I 100% agree. I rarely leave the Mists, for I have never been one to grind.. But all the unique temporary skins can only be obtained this way… Even if its a random drop from chests, please allow us to collect the weapon skin tickets if not just random weapon skins.

On a side note: It would also encourage me to PvE if I could retain my look from PvP. This could be an unlimited use item purchased for a large amount of glory and can only be used by one character so you must buy more for each character. Of course, this would not bring any stat bonuses but this item would allow your characters to appear as their PvP character. Essentially masking your current armor. It could even show as a buff on the UI for others to see. “Oh that guy didn’t grind dungeons for that armor he just PvPed” or “Woah look at how much PvP this guy did, he got all that swag” in my personal opinion this would really encourage me to step around in the vibrant world of PvE.

I wouldnt make exclusive PvP Skins.. or only make those when weekly/monthly tournaments come into play. or maybe at the end of a season.

because that would actually cost pretty much rescources. those items would have to be designed and implemented in a way that not everyone will get them instantly.

and even when you have this item then, you want to have some other skin sooner or later.

New weapondesigns are implemented every now and then through events, so just give us PvPers the opportunity to have access to those skins through something we like, PvP.
