Default Tyrian PvE Skills!!
Now that both Factions and Nightfall have their own campaign specific PvE skills, it is only fair that Tyria have them too.

I understand that there is a lack of trackable title in tyria (no alliance, ss or lb title to grind for), however this is not necessarily a bad thing. Associating skills to title progression just encourage grinding, so why not just give us skills that does not progress? or alternatively associate it with the primary attribute of each profession. No matter how it is done the most important thing though, is to introduce PvE skills to Phrophecies since it's already missed out on other rewards such as end game green.

My suggestion is to have the skills awarded by the vision of glint upon completing all 4 of the titan quests. Any thoughts?

*shrug* just have each campaign's skills be available after completing the final mission in normal mode, then have em get stronger for each point on the protector and guardian titles.

Sunspear lvl 7 or 8 is easy enough to get just by questing and taking bounties. So, shouldn't Prophecies skills be equally easy to get and develop? Skill trainer available in Dragon's Lair outpost? And then Dakk in Ember light can "upgrade" the skills when you get to him, if you've completed all three Southern Shiverpeak missions?

Oooooh, great idea. Institute a border over Kryta, like a Kurzick/Luxon border. Then give Tyrians some new alliance battle arenas, option to create alliances aligned with either the White Mantle or The Shining Blade. ROXXXXXXORZ!!1

Same could be done with Deldrimor/Stone Summit conflict. YEEEHAW!



On topic: yes, some TYRIAN PvE skills should be in order. I fail to see the reason why is Tyria neglected. No end-game green, no pve-only skills, ... Tyria ftw!

Yeaaah, I was actually thinking more like the Sunspear. You don't have a choice with who you fight with there, either. Not some Kuzick/Luxon thing. Sunspear is fine, since it's part of the storyline, and you get pretty high levels just by playing normally. Also, if it was implemented into Prophecies, it would be completely optional grind, unlike having to have a certain amount to move on. Win/win, IMO.

I agree .....tyria is my favorite place to play and i own all 3 chapters. I spend more time there then anywhere and there are usually more active player groups as well. There should be something worthwhile to do in tyria...the only real place for greans is in SF and that gets boring....there are what 3-4 others scattered around the map...give us some sort of end game content in the Original GW please!!

It would be awesome. Give like 4 points per monster killed and start the title at 500000.

I see what you mean. Now that I think of it - I'd like a sunspear-like Shining Blade title much better than an additional "perpetual warfare" thingy they have in Factions.

Seriously this could be the best option for PvE skills. You get them from the seers and they grow more powerfull for every titan quests acomplished. Those needed better rewards then the 20 000exp.

If they made it faction oriented (though we dont have titles or faction, and please DON'T ADD the blessing system in Tyria!), the white mantle or the Shining blades are the most obvious answers. Perhaps more the white mantle.


On a more humourous tone...
I want the last skill to be Spectral Agony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT : I said the seers but the wision of Glint is probably what will happen.

Don't take the messed up luxon/kurzick idea, worse idea in the game. Lets limit and divide the player base with a useless Alliance system that only works in one chapter, but limits there interactions in another!

They release two sets of profession-specific skills for free, so it's only fair they release a third set for free too? I'm afraid game developers may have a different definition for the word "fair"

eh you do make a point, but should at least let one of the current skill sets be obtainable in prophecies, to show that they still have interest in supporting an older product instead of abandoning it completely for the new areas...

I'd like some Tyrian PvE skills. The Luxon/Kurzick skills require boring PvP grind(which sort of defeats the purpose of these being PvE only skills) and I already have the relevant Sunspear skills. I know quite a few people who only own Prophecies and they're confused about why they don't get anymore new content. At the very least ANet could give PvE only to those who've beaten Augury Rock and have ascended(foreign characters would have to beat Augury Rock to get the skills, even if they're Closer To The Stars or Sunspear General). There are a goodly number of missions before Augury Rock and so its not like it would be too easy to get *cough* Sunspear skills *cough* or too tedious to get *cough* Luxon/Kurzick skills *cough*.

Cool ideas, although I don't see Anet introducing any new Skills in Tyria, as Tyria has no titles that could be used to chart the skills.

Because they didn't buy their latest products, means they should add stuff for them?
Oh and what is HM, Totem Axes, SF, Tombs and Rotwing Bow again?
