How do we know if we get a new item. :P

As PvP players their is the chance that we get thouse items and think of it as crap.

One more sugestion for the Zaishen Chest. Ppl will sugest to implement the chest into other Areas like GuildHall or Kamadan or else. Dont do that plz. Finally Great Temple of Balthasar is a place to have a real meaning. A Trade place for the Items out of the Zaishen chest.

THE GOOD:

1) Any use of Balthazar Faction is good, because it's better than no use.
2) Incentive to get more players in PvP = good.
3) Fun consumable items for balthazar faction = great. Some PvPers are wrong when they say these consumables belong to PvE. They dunnot. Why? It's simple - consumables are about fun (let's neglect Titles now). Everything that is fun and grindless and gives no bonuses in PvP itself = great.

THE BAD:

1) The way Andrew advertised it, I was really expecting to be thrilled. OK, who are we kidding.
2) Still no weapon/armor skin *unlocks*. Even if I get a perfect best-looking PvE weapon, what exactly am I going to do with it? I can't PvP with PvE characters, I use way too many builds and combos. I have FoW Dervish armor but hey, I can't use that Dervish in PvP because the bonuses on armor and weapons in most cases don't meet PvP build needs. I would need an insane amount of insignia/rune/hilt combinations.
3) Playing merchant. Sure, good for PvErs, bad for PvPers. The fact that you get Balth faction by PvPing makes this kinda a problem. I don't want to spend my time selling req9 weapons around. It's time consuming. And even when I do get money, what on earth am I going to do with it? Buy armor skins? Weapon skins? See above. (oh, I can buy consumable items which is something at least..)

OVERALL: Well, I'll take it since there's no choice and it's better than nothing.

REQUEST: When we get some Rare item in the Chest, can we have that skin (permanently) *unlocked* for PvP characters? Even if it costs additional 5k Balth Faction? It would still require that we're lucky enough to get an item, and get the item that's worth using.

Yeah, just what I needed. Whenever I create PvP character I land in the most populated district of all PvP areas. /sarcasm off.

You know, some of us don't have the fastest computer in the world. If you want a "place with real meaning where people can trade for items" then you can go to Kamadan, Lions Arch, or whatever is popular these days.

I absolutely hate logging into **PvP** area which in 1 min gets swarmed with:
"XY has maxed a Z title! Woohooo!" (boring)
" lalah w to sell XY item!!!!1111!111" (sigh)
" *other fluff talk* "

I don't think this would be fair, but i'd like aswell to be able to delete my PvP character without losing the weapons i bought with reward points.

I'd like if there was some kind of PvP only storage that can only be accessed by PvP chars and where u can put the items u unlocked with reward points. When u put an item into this storage it gets uncustomized and when u pull out an item from this storage it becomes customized for the char that picked it.

You already can; try putting the reward items on heroes.

I got a creme brulee, but then I realised I'm not UAX and I have better things to spend faction on.

When you say rare items that you cannot get anywhere else in the game - do you mean NEW items(like rq9 divine favor swords)? or items that have not been available for a while?

If I can do it, so can you. Search "Auction house" here in Guru. No one LIKES "playing merchant" in this game.

PvP's "J" function killed any sympathy from me towards PvP only players who wanted to improve their characters on the fly. If you don’t have at least one PvE toon to dedicate your accomplishments in the HoM, then you’re wasting your time by acquiring all those skins anyway

GGs

EDIT: and you should know by now kali; here on Guru, you don;t have to ASK for people's opinions, want em or not. After all, I had the pleasure of listening to yours

I do, however, hope that the idea to let players purchase guild halls, capes, and GH accessories through faction instead of gold gets further attention in threads like this one. Those areas of play are limiting for PvPers in a real--tangible--way at the moment and should be addressed.

The weapons were both max and inscribable, so my guild mate told me I should keep them and upgrade them as they were rare skins. Sadly I don't have any mods to upgrade them with.

*shrug* I guess I'll.. give them away. I can see how this system is intended to reward/encourage people who play both sides of the game, but it doesn't interest me.

I'll take them!

All I seem to get is Creme Brulee, I don't even know what those are for, I think I've gotten 6 of em now. I got a Rit Tome, thats nice I guess, cept I don't have a Rit.

So I give the crap I get to guildies, which means I'd much rather trade my faction for Flames of Baltazar and give those to my guildies.

I'm UAX so I guess I'll be swiming in Creme Brulee soon enough.

Thx for the fail ANet, good lookin out
