Radio Inteview (3rd part)

GW started as PvE/Rpg w/ PvP. Since then PvE and PvP are on equal footing and they do take great concern to make sure PvP is balanced and fair (or the attempt at it).

I think the titles (when they hover over your name) are enough for me at least.

I believe this is already in the game in the form of FoW armor.

heh, yeah, edit post FTW!!! but I was on my phone typing that so yah... Anyway, yes, PvP should get dyes/skins/other animals and such, but all you people defending the fact that HoH is not spikes and IWAY only, let us spend 5 minutes within the cesspit that is HA Dis 1.

Guy2: Forming IWAY R3+ ONLY!!!!
Guy3: Forming RSpike, R3+ ONLY!!!!!!

How can you think Anet favor PvP, while 95% of all these awards are for PvE people only?

You already have titles...

Rayne Nightfyre · May 22, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

It is true that ArenaNet rewards PvP in a more prestigous way, through exclusive cape designs and trims to champion guilds, emotes, and so on. But it's wrong to say they neglect anything PvE-wise. They make PvE very rewarding and addicting. Titles and 15k/Obsidian armor are just a few goodies that are available only via PvE. And honestly PvP does require much more cooperation and dedication, so it is fair that champions of PvP are more renowned. So it is fine the way it is.

You are one of the few who have stated this in a way that does not sound elitest, and I tend to agree with what you have stated.

WE got titles..... I wouldn't mind if there was a different kind of flashy emote for characters which improved for each title they maxed, that would be a decent addition.

How about Wings, little wings, big wings, bat wings, featherd wings, Huge Dragon wings with claws on the limbs.

Well something or other, it is just a flash for people to show off. And there are plenty of people to play PvE but don't grind just so they can look stunning in some armor. If I come by the gold over time I may get some 15K assassin armor, but I don't intend to grind.

Getting a Signature for being a great PvE player, not grinder, would be nice, and it would be a further insentive for players to go back through missions and hit maximum or bonuses, as well as explore the maps thourougly, a reward for succeeding at PvE challenges, not grinding, would be very nice.

i hope ur not alluding to the fact that minion factories are good

but skill changes also happens due to over farming and other builds that becomes too popular i.e the 55 monks. i mean theres a lot of pvpers who got pissed that they werent able to get there 2 dam count...lol..jk.

but the point is thatthey dont just change it for pvp.

Anyone who thinks PVE is more fun than PVP has some serious mental problems.

We should just petition Anet to scrap PVE and focus on PVP. What do you think? That would solve PVP elitism permanently. With everyone doing PVP, the so-called PVP elite would just be like any other player.

Rayne Nightfyre · May 23, 2006, 03:20 AM // 03:20

Indeed. I have played for over a year, and 99.9% of that playtime was all PvE. So my earlier comments are coming from the perspective of a dedicated PvE'er.

If you haven't learned by now, Guild Wars is a game of preference. There are no right or wrong ways to play; it's all about what you and your friends wish to do. So there is no need for taking a verbal shot at anyone who plays a certain way.

But seriously, high-level PvP simply does take more planning and communication and thus deserves to have greater emphasis and recognition than its PvE counterpart. But that is no reason to put PvE on a lower level; it is equally as fun.

Zui · May 23, 2006, 04:04 AM // 04:04

PvE has 15k and FoW armor. It also has ultra rare weapons. You have emotes that you can use 100% of the time, instead of every 30 seconds.

MCS · May 23, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Unique armor/weapons is cooler than an emote.

Dougal Kronik · May 23, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

It's an emote for completing all missions and bonuses. Why not.

Those who prefer PvP shouldn't feel threatened.

Lasareth · May 23, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Emotes have been suggested before, and I'm personally tired of seeing arguments of how one might be better than the other degenerating into assaults on players of a certain style.

Closed.
