triple/quadruple faction for gvg (and double for HA) would be nice tho. Its supposed to be the peak of the game, not random arenas. At triple it'd be about even, quadruple it'd dominate. I thin a pvp reward would be better than a pve one, doncha think?.

Even when we have pve rewards on ha??

I want to suggest based on this idea, I would love if for every gvg 1 flame of balthazar would be given to each winning party member, (Not skirmishes, Not unrated).

That way you can use the flame to have more faction if you want or sell it to receive a little income.

That way you wont be worry about ectos to be overfarmed, because they would be.

But this is a decent legitimate idea so peopel are/sign and /unsigning it.

This guy didn't post on sardelac, it got his thread moved.

Oh, and Shmanka, keep those ideas coming. We might have a genius on our hands. If not, I'll lock you in the Pits of Fiery Doom

Actually, wait. I can't lock you in a pit, can I?

Oh whatever. I'll lock you in a cardboard box. Good enough for me anyway.

Back on topic, if you prove to me that there is absolutely no way that this can be exploited, then yes.

yeah but this is sardelac not brainstorm

whoever moved it to sardelac should prolly just move it back, the OP don't want it here

but as long as this is in sardelac the original post is what matters, rambling doesnt help because half the forum does not read the other posts.

i like the idea, it would get more players to actively play Pvp.

I think if this happened, an easy scam would appear. You could just get 2 guilds and do an unrated match. One guild sits and does nothing, while the other kills the guild lord easily. BAM! quick and easy ectos.

Perkunas · Mar 17, 2007, 04:15 AM // 04:15

As a PvE'er, will this make me GvG more? No
Will it make PvP more attractive to me? No

Ectos have no appeal to me. I have just enough gold for what I need. I have only 1 more 'major' goal in this game, and that is the Survivor Title. I have 2 more character classes to try, mesmer & necro, to get thru Prophesies.

PvP, maybe, after I buy Factions and Nightfall and get all classes thru them.

Priest Of Sin · Mar 17, 2007, 06:37 PM // 18:37

Uh... couldn't we just endlessly enter scrimmages and grab ecto every 10 minutes? I mean... that's like 60k per hour... for doing nothing.

Well I have some pointers here.

First even if there was a possible way, in a scrimmage. In order to kill the guild lord fast you would have to go through NPC's and in order to make it worth your time, you would have to have 6+ people killing those NPC's and only one guild lord could even possibly be killed. So a 1/12 chance you get the ecto in about lets say 5-6 minutes. Sounds like a restrict UW to me

Oh and my next random idea WILL come soon, I just have to be really bored.

BahamutKaiser · Mar 18, 2007, 10:16 PM // 22:16

I actually like the idea alot, some sort of rare matierial or green drop would be good for any big battle, and PvE characters/players need some earnings from playing PvP, really there should be plenty of drops, it is just a natural way of rewarding effort, and PvE exclusive players get next to nothing for winning PvP.

Although, it may be easier to dispense and share gold to winning teams, and increase the gold based on the tier and difficulty of the battle.

makosi · Mar 18, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

It’s a good idea on the surface but I like the way that GvG players play GvG battles for the sheer enjoyment of it. Incentivising ‘PvE-ers’ in to GvG with aesthetics would only degrade the quality of play and reduce the standards to the likes of HA. There’d be a lot of Lord-ganking too.

HA offers shiny emotes and rare items which makes it attractive to those who seek wealth and appraisal but GvG remains more dignified and offering loot as a reward might tarnish its reputation. Even the simplicity of the Champion title reduced the quality of GvG by inspiring fast-win gimmicks (Searing Flames!) to bump up those numbers.

In conclusion, GvG should be played only for the winning.

MithranArkanere · Mar 20, 2007, 06:25 PM // 18:25

Well... if the guild lord would drop an ectoplasm... there will be lots of battles arranged to alternatively lose, and then share the loot.

A PvE drop should drop only in PvE, where no human con can control or ease the drop.
