As PvP players might know, creating PvP items is limited to 20, even if you have more inventory space available.

I would like to see this cap removed, or at the very least, doubled.

I simply cannot see any reason why such a restriction exists. I had to delete some upgraded PvP items simply because i needed something else and had already reached the cap.

I have several permanent PvP characters that fill a wide range of rolls/builds each needing their own weapon sets. It's a lot easier to be able to keep all those weapons instead of recreating them 24/7 because some stupid cap stops you from simply keeping them all (in extra bags, or an equipment pack).

Why don't you just save the weapon set to a template there is absolutley no reason to have 20 different PvP items at one time.

I've heard the original reason for this limit was protecting the servers from too heavy item spawning, as it's a transaction which has no cost. But if they added some time delay between creating items if you want to spawn many quickly, they could drop the uberannoying limit.

/new idea.

Have multiple skins unlocked to PvP weapons. Then you don't need to store so many. Plus you can edit them, but adding more bags wouldn't hurt either.

You /signed your own idea? Lol.


Anyway, I guess OP has a point, especially if he paid RPs for new skins etc.

A lot of the time, there's a pretty good reason to have 20. Since making equipment is free, you usually want to make your equipment so that all your bases are covered. On a warrior, this would probably mean:

Sundering Weapon
Vampiric Weapon
Zealous Weapon
Ebon
Fire
Icy
Lightning
Spear/Long Range Weapon
20% Blind Shield
20% Cripple Shield
20% Weakness Shield
Earth Shield
Fire Shield
Water Shield
Lightning Shield
Piercing Shield
Blunt Shield
Slashing Shield
Vampiric Weapon without +30 health
-health offhand
(some kind of high energy set)
(if you're running a hammer warrior) +5e sword for Sword Bull's

?

I just made a pvp war recently with RPs, and between 4 axes, 3 hammers, spear, and different shield types (all RP skins so cant be deleted) I only have room for 1 set of armor ): When the whole reason I made the char was to be able to switch armors etc.

Signed - hurts no one to have this implemented. From a developer perspective, implementing this would be extremely simple.

If you can only create 20 items, and since there are no weapon upgrade traders to make useful for a PvP character items from PvP chests, then why the equipment bag and being able to bring two bags?

The only purpose of this limit is to piss people off. As been stated before you need many, many more than 20 items.

You probably shouldn't comment if you don't know what you're talking about. There is a need to have 20.

This cap is pointless. There's no need for the cap.

This has already been proven false for a warrior, i'll gladly fill you in on another example:

Elementalist:

4 x headgear (+1 for every attribute)
4 x 40/40 wand
4 x 40/40 offhand
4 x +15/-1 wand
4 x +15/-1 offhand
4 x staff
+5 nrg spear
8 x shield (7 x vs different damage types and reduced cripple)

grand total : 33 items

You could reason energy storage isn't realy used that much, but you could easely get weapon sets for secondary attributes (E/Rt's for example).

And the above number doesn't even include extra armor sets (in case you want to change looks once and a while).

A solution would be not to count skinned items for the cap.

This cap is incredibly annoying, so I agree.

there's plenty of reasons to need more than 20 items, and the cap is annoying and unnecessary imo.

Yes.
Another solution would be to remove the cap.

I've never been affected by this limit, but I can see how it could be a problem for serious PvP players.

I'm pretty sure it's far less work to simply remove said cap than to make it more complicated.

lol it is pointless to have twenty different weapons, especially on a pvp char.
why don't you just make a new weapon set each time?
Anet has more things to do than work on trivial things like this

Yeah, like skill balancing.

It's been shown time and again in this two-page thread that a pvp character can easily hit the 20-item cap without having all the equipment it will need.

It's not, as you would've noticed if you'd actually read a bit down the thread instead of hitting reply instantly

We're not asking for a complete redesign of something, and it's not exactly a serious coding effort either.

So how exactly should Anet be spending their time if they shouldn't spend it on small fixes like this?

solution: spend your reward points on zkeys and buy pve weapons instead!

(this was sarcasm btw... but in a way it kinda is a half-ass solution)
