You know, if pve players want a reward system, the only way I can think of one that would do the player and the game any justice is a kind of 'community leader' or 'guide' (for lack of a better description) reward. i.e. a bronze border around your guild cape or a unique shiney graphic you could put in some inconspicous corner of your cape.

Basically for people that are generally well known in the Guild Wars community for being helpful, friendly and generally all round smashing chaps. For sharing their builds, helping lowbies through missions alot and drok running people for free etc etc.

People could possibly submit names via forums like this and the coolest pve dawgs get a community pat on the back. Or a selective process by anet devs or something. Anet enables their trim capes. Or their different coloured name. Or their emote. Or whatever - the actual reward is very much open to discussion.

But I would consider this an awesome way of recognising someone's contribution to the game. Not only is it something to shoot for and a unique look but its actually some kind of incentive not to be a fricking a**hole. And theres too many of those in the game at the moment as is.

You know, it's not really a big deal to me. But, I've completed all the Titan quests a couple times and someone always says, "Is that it? Is this all I get?" While I've done them for the fun of it and the sense of pride on completing them, I could see people wanting some sort of emote to say, "Hey! Look at me! I'm one of the few that finshed all the Titan Quests!"

It would be good for the endless supply of Wammos runnig around. You could actually distinguish between them :P

Loviatar · Mar 20, 2006, 02:53 AM // 02:53

and dont forget the farmer emotes.

i think this sucks big time.

elitest pve people will be going (just like the pvp) show me your emote to join.

Yeah those 55 monks, tons of exp. There's enough things for them to gloat about. Hmm.. bad, bad idea.

Having 1mil exp just means you've farmed, unless I'm very wrong and you can get that much simply through gameplay (all missions + quests)?

Very, very wrong, currentley I have a ele with 1,250,000, a ranger approaching 650,000(hes new), and a monk that is very new(lvl16 atm), have never farmed a bit. Ive met people with toons that have 2-3 million and were not hardcore farmers, so to say anyone that has over 1,000,000 is a farmer is WAY OF BASE. Think about an average trip through the FoW, IIRC(havent been down there in a bit), its good for 40,000-50,000 xp a trip, the people who have mass XP are generally the ones who live in the FoW or the UW, at least in my experience.

I would support PvE rewards that are given for actually accomplishing something, not one's ability to run a farmbot for hours on end.

I don't think they should be fame flashes though, that's already a distinction for a separate part of the game. I'm sure A.Net could come up with something that PvErs would love, though.

Peace,

City of Heroes had this really neat system called the Badge system where you'll get "titles" for completing certain missions or objectives. These titles did nothing but were a nice touch to your hero's profile.

Oh and there were SOME rewards (ie a ray gun or +5 health) but they were so minor that while they were neat they also weren't unbalanced compared to people who didnt get such rewards. It was just extra fluff.

But either way, I dont really care if they add in PVE rewards or not.

There are enough people in Heroes running around with their heads up their own backsides at the moment, we don’t need this in PVE as well.

dont feel no pain · Mar 20, 2006, 01:10 PM // 13:10

OK i got something to say

rank emote = bragging

jerk = bragging

pve emote + jerk = w/mo spending his life in the troll cave farming experaince

Pve emote = players making groups will be seperated by pve emotes

players making groups will be seperated by pve emotes = pve sucks

pve suck + pvp sucks = death

*scribbles out signed names*

im 100% agains't this.

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW LONG YOU PLAY , AND HOW EXPERIANED YOU ARE, A LOT OF FARMERS HAVN'T EVEN COMPLETED THE GAME. THEREFORE THIS CANNOT AND WILL NOT WORK.

You have fow armor people scream ebay, you have high XP people scream solo farming, you have pvp emote people scream iway. So what ever you have someone somewhere will bitch about it, I would like a pve emote purely because I want one, I am working on my pvp enote (None iway) again purely because i want one.

I have 6 chars all finished the game,

3M xp on monk (NONE FARMED)
2M on warrior (NONE FARMED)
1M nearly on necro (NONE FARMED)
500k ish on Mes ranger and ele (NONE FARMED)

I had a farming monk but deleted her for a pvp slot, so gimmie the emote please

Battle Torn · Mar 20, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Its just the same as IWAY in PvP.. fame doesnt mean anything either so why have anything?

/signed

all in all I would like something to keep me playing..yeh I farmed, but Im still experienced player....gimme, gimme, gimme

Sagius Truthbarron · Mar 20, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

I'm thinking in clothing and other vanity items only. Exp just means that you've farmed FoW quests to the Forge more or UW soloed more.

PLEASE no "Such and such needs Stance Warrior for FoW! 8 million EXP+ group!" NO NO NO ;.;

This is what is wrong with PvP and SHOULD NOT be in PvE. There should not be a device that lets players see EXP ammounts. That will get us all on the EXP farming train and kill Guild Wars forever. New players who bought the game for the lack of grind will find themselves never being able to play the game in high end areas (just like anyone who didn't cash in on spirit spam+ IWAY in PvP)

Expirience Emotes are what is wrong with this game completely. We DO NOT need more. I already see some groups asking for 1 million exp+ members.

Battle Torn · Mar 20, 2006, 01:40 PM // 13:40

But I want one!

wolfe2dale · Mar 20, 2006, 01:43 PM // 13:43

I would ask that instead we got rid of the Rank emote, I am so sick of seeing 12 year old IWAY fanatics running around places saying things like :-

'OMG, I'm L33T, LOOK AT ME'

Well, not exactly that, but you get my point.... The last thing we need is a bunch of obsessive farming grinders flashing an experience emote claiming they were great players...

Da Judge · Mar 20, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

I can see both side of this discussion, and I kinda agree with both sides.

I would not agree with an Exp based emote though

An emote (or something like that) based on the games completion would be a great addition. Something along the lines of some form of dislplayable reward for..

All Missions complete
All Bonus's
All UW quests
All Fow Quests
All Titan Quests

But make them only available to the toon that has finished them. Not the whole account

That should cut out any eliteism im the mission places because 90% of the people in the mission towns are there to do the mission or the bonus because that particular char has still got to do them, so they wont have the emote.

Do you Guys think this would work as a compromise?

Yichi · Mar 20, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

Personally this idea is horrible. PVE already gets special items/weapon skins/armor skins/more dyes/etc... that pvp dont have. We have seen what the emote does in pvp and how the elitism argument has gone on and on and on and on and on.... I DO NOT want to see this enter into pve. Then we get 9000 more threads per day about how OMG i cant get into the best pve grps. im ragequitting if you dont fix it....

if youre not good, youre not good. im sorry, if you feel that you need a pve emote to validate how BAD you are at pvp because the pve community doesnt get anything as it is..., then im sorry

Mister Muhkuh · Mar 20, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

i dont like this idea...

if u do that heroes ascend wouldnt be the only place where "noobs" cant get into a group...

Pompeyfan · Mar 20, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Nah no to XP emotes - it's bad enough having sad show-offs flashing their PvP emotes in none-PvP areas like LA, ToA as if they're something special without it being swamped by PvE show-offs too - I've got over 5m XP across my 4 characters, but don't feel any need to brag about it in-game.
