OK, we have all heard the news about the "pvp love" update coming in the middle of October. My question is how do you think that this massive update will effect you? Will it make you pvp more or less?

I'm not a big pvp'r but I do have a couple of pvp characters on my account just in case. The most interesting thing I see about this update is the lowering of RP points for pvp skins along with the ability to unlock those skins with zcoins as well. It would be nice for a casual pvp player who only does RA/JQ/FA to have the ability to unlock pvp FoW.

Zcoins are insanely lucrative in HA, which never got any RP's so it seems fair they have a path for the pvp skin unlocks. Seems like a very nice opportunity for those who like to PUG their 8 vs 8.

October? Quarterly, nice joke.

As far as the pvp changes goes, I'm interested to see the effect on ra. What will happen when they cut ta? Will glad points be easier to get? Will less people ra? I'm just trying to get r3.

I'll wait to see the "love" and then decide...

It's titled: (TA + HB)^Sealed = WIN!

but then states: "If the new format is successful..."

Declaring a "win" prior to the start has disgraced many over time.

Of course WE all do more PvP (i mean ppl who actually do pvp) and also pvers will try it. I don't think the average of PvP players will increase a lot but i think that if they do such improvement of PvP, they could also do something to pve, dont you think?

HawkofStorms · Sep 23, 2009, 09:08 PM // 21:08

I think everybody, even people who mostly PvE, will at least give sealed deck a try to see what it is and how it works. Whether or not it catches on is another story.

lol? Fow armor is THE most elite armor in guild wars, some people are only able to get it after years of playing. Another useless topic

nice joke.

Depending on the changes made, I might be more willing to dive back into the PvP world. Sealed deck seems like a nice idea, but we'll have to wait and see how it goes once it's implemented.

yup... hopping for a random 30 minute / max point spread server selection with different maps to pick from.

#1 Elite doesn't make it good, just expensive. Flip side to that is, there is plenty of money to be made in PvP. Maybe not in RA/TA etc but certainly in HoH.

Personally I don't care, but some among the l33t PvE crowd will.

#2 Shouldn't take years to get one set...well not these days anyway. Anet practically hands out free gold now.

As for the PvP update...meh. I'll give sealed deck a bash, but I prefer open world PvP to this balanced crap.

Metatail · Sep 23, 2009, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Ease up, they will delay it even more! As for me imma hit new mode pretty hard! Titles ftw. Oh and i hope for some 6k/win fb zquests for it as well.

Divine Ashes · Sep 23, 2009, 10:07 PM // 22:07

I hope they don't delay the pvp love update...

And tbh the pvp skins don't make any difference to me whatsoever...I do all of my pvping on pve chars.

Just bring on the Sealed Deck.

Pretty much this sums it up. New title is what I expect. + Some Fb never gets old.

Let's hope the pvp skins are account based.

zelgadissan · Sep 23, 2009, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Just so it's been said - I haven't seen anything giving a date, all I've seen is "sometime after the September MAT". Has mid-October actually been officially announced anywhere?

Hugh Manatee · Sep 23, 2009, 10:34 PM // 22:34

A: I wonder if this means we might be able to get some of the skins that have as yet been PvP only on PvE characters withthe coins...(like a str req tribal effigy or warlord shield or the luminescent lantern)

B: The reason I never bothered to spend stuff on the pvp skin rewards is because of needing to constantly recycle pvp characters, and apparently the stuff doesn't get unlocked for the account, just the 1 time(unless you store it on a hero, but that doesn't help with armor...). If they made the stuff stay for your account(or in the case of a pve character, let you craft one customized for them) I would consider working for the skins.

C: RA sucks, the people there are stupid, the only time you win is if you get a party that is less stupid then your enemy, and the enemy doesn't have some stupid griefing tanking crap with 0 offense forcing a draw. If there was ever an arena that should automatically hand the players a balanced sane build, it is RA. Personally, I think they should make RA a random pairing sealed deck arena, TA a team based sealed deck arena and HB a 4 man(maybe 6 man), no AI arena where you build a party with any skill available(like TA is now but on the HB maps with a few annihilation matches on the RA-TA matches), and hold tournies and stuff there.

1. For the most part you are right; there's only a few fow armors that look nice. Unfortunately if you aren't good in pvp or happen to be tagging along with a good team, you can't make money in HA.

2. Actually they stopped doing that when XTH got closed down.

Hugh, I managed to get a RA team last night of 3 els and a sassi that was less stupid than the other team 4 out of 5 times. No glad point for me. :`(

I'm adopting the wait-and-see approach to see how it all pans out.

Let me just say that I currently make most of my money from there and that this statement is not true.

Ive got 5k rp saved up for the new PvP weapon skin update ^^ 7 out of my 9 characters are PvP so im looking forward to this. It would be nice if they could clarify wether they will actually be able to add EOTN skins though ..
