My RP characters had full access to unlocked skills. My heroes do, why cant I?


Im so tired of spending money to unlock skills, or getting skill points for an unlock. Or questing to get that elusive elite.

Seriously. I would pay 5 bux USD to have access to skills I have already unlocked.

That's not how the game is played though, make a pvp character if you want full access to all those.

I did. Take mes for instance. I never ran one through pve. I unlocked everything through pvp.

Now what if I want to do something w/me in pve? I have to go buy the skill... Its stupid.

People that want everything unlocked for them at the beginning of the game shouldn't be PvEing in the first place. If you don't want to play the game, then don't.

Alright....this issue again.

Lets make it clear:

PvE= Character development

PvP= Account development

This is why PvE titles do not carry over to other characters, only that specific character.

This is why a PvE character only has access to skills they learned or captured themselves.

This is why PvP titles can be applied to all characters.

This is why PvP characters can access all unlocked skills.


------------

Now you wanna PLAY PvE? That means leveling up, and growing your character (this is fairly weak in GW, but is still there) into a more developed and greater character than from when you started.

-----------

Now...for the purposes of PvP, a PvE character should be allowed access to all those skills if and only if in the Battle Isles....

As people get more and more characters, it means that there will be more shared secondary classes which means more skills that have been purchased more than once.

Personally, I think there should be some ingame discount or something to buy skills that are already unlocked. Right now, some PVE character builds are limited because I don't want to waste money unlocking skills I already unlocked. Another reason why PVE is stagnant because I simply don't have the gold to waste on already bought skills to experiment with different builds. Thank god for PVP.

I agree with the OP, but if the skill had been bought before with cash or faction then it should be freee to all the acount.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the ballgame. If PvE becomes about account development replayability evaporates, as does my interest in the game.

But err... when a PvE character is in the Battle Isles and suddenly 'learns' all skills... I don't know about that, and even then, PvP chars will easily change weapon sets, insignia, armor looks etc.

Though it'd be nice, I doubt it'd happen.

I dont think already unlocked skills should be given away completely...but paying for already unlocked skills sure as hell does NOT increase replayability at all.

So you suggest what?

I mean common, when your playing with a class you have already played with and have a whole bunc of skills unlocked, its already very easy, you get all the unlocked skills at the first trainer you meet,what else do you want?

You gotta remember that every character has the same potential the gain the same amount of gold the first character(s) did.

So if you had earned lets say for arguments sake 50K on first char and spend 35K on skills.
You come with a second character he earns 50K but you get all the skills free.
I simply dont get it, whats the fun in that :|

If you are having problems managing your cash to buy skills you have to look at it closer to why you dont have the money to buy it.
( and dont come tell me something about me just talking BS i have 7 pve characters, most with almost all theyr primary and secondary skills)

If you don't want to spend the time to unlock skills, buy the PvP account.

There is a difference between not having cash and not wanting to waste cash. Right now the system sure doesnt encourage people to experiment with builds in PVE because it results in a lot of redundant skill buying and wasted gold and wasted skill points. I don't have trouble managing my gold, nice try. But it really doesnt matter. I have PVP to keep me occupied so I don't even bother with experimenting with PVE builds.

I'm not really suggesting anything really because I really don't care much about PVE to care anymore. And this issue is one of many reasons why.
