I think it would be somewhat fun to have a weekend event where we could use PvE only skills in PvP. Nothing bad can come of it. Only awesome stories.

What about all those people with only Prophecies in Random Arena? It wouldn't be fun for them to get stampeded by people with EotN PvE-only skills, would it?

There'd be some awesome QQ stories rampaging the forums, however.

Well, the reason they introduced PvE only skills was so that they could throw in some things outside the bounds of balance. By allowing them in PvP, you'd have a lot more people complaining than you would just having fun, (at least, IMO).

gimmick builds like mad. Things would be totally unbalanced. No one said it still wouldn't be fun though
Will all the PvE skill temporarily be unlocked for people for the event? what about users who are missing chapters or who have PvP edition?

Someone will try Ursanway.. And they'll get train-wrecked. Ursan is only good for it's ability to spike ridiculously and do a bit of KD. prot prayers and an anti-KD=Ursanpwned. Best bet for AB is LoD revealing portal to other side's base. Jump in and spike the Base Defender. ViM.

It can be an opt-in system. Mad King's Circus Show.

AB-stylee for more madness.

Throw in consumables for good measure. Level 36 Flesh Golems vs Ursanway

What about all those people that have factions and proph but not nightfall? That's not a very good argument.

Putting it on the regular maps would cause problems, especially for the people who don't want to take part. So that isn't an option. However we could have temporary arenas created only for this weekend. And creating a new arena also lets ANET play around with other options. Like a 12v12 arena where you just kill each other.

The other issue is that skill > time would not exist in those arenas. Especially if someone makes a PvP only character. But this can be got around by giving everyone max level in those skills for that weekend only, maybe even limit it to the weekend arena.

Keeping it separate would have to be essential. I can understand that pvpers wouldn't want their arena's taken over by PvE noobs for a weekend. Maybe keep the same arenas, but have a dedicated district, which means they wouldn't have to design anything new. Is that even possible?

The Gestapo is here to save the day!
To right what's wrong in every way!
I'm here to put an end to this,
To preserve what's left of competitive bliss!
Maybe next time, maybe not,
Either way, it's all for naught!
PvE in PvP?
Heaven's no,
Oh, dear me!
