Equipment Masters for PvP-only characters
These various NPCs, placed at the Great Temple of Balthazar, will hand out various equipments for PvP-only characters, provided that those items have been unlocked.
NOTE: All skins are standard PVP, nothing spectacular.
1. Balthazar's Armor Smith
- All types of Armor sets
2. Balthazar's Rune Keeper
- All types of Runes
3. Balthazar's Weapons Master
- Swords, Hammers, Axes
- Bows, Daggers
- All weapon Upgrades
- Shields
4. Balthazar's Archmage
- Staves, Rods
- Staves Upgrades
- Focus Items
5. Balthazar's Sage
- Change 2nd Profession
- Usable by PvE characters as well
--------------------------------------
(A few people suggested that this one is un-necessary for the PvP-only characters)
(One suggested that Balthazar's Faction can be used to "buy" dyes for PvP-only characters)
(Sir Mad does not agree with this)
6. Balthazar's Dyes Distributer
- Dyes
All retrieved equipment will be customized to the PvP character who collected them.
Discuss.

Equipment Master for PvP-only characters

The Primeval King
I agree with the Balthazar Equipment Master idea. Sometimes I want to change my build without having to re-create the whole character just because I need a different rune or different type of axe. The Uber Quick creation is a little weird.. you can just skip it if it really takes up that much time.
theclam
The weapon master is a good idea.
Vilaptca
I haven't even PvPed until this week, and even I think this is necessary. It is incredibly annoying to change around a PvP character right now. Oops...messed up grabbed the wrong weapon, now I have to delete this character and remake it.
This suggestion could also use the make your own template idea. Saving your builds so that you can just quick choose it when you need it.

Revised the first post of this thread.
Now, let us collect all those "Yes" votes and pray hard that ANET will implement this? ANET would only make changes if there are enough demand for it.

/signed twice for both accounts.
Even after months of knowing exactly what you want on PvP charactars that you're rerolling, you still make an occational mistake, and end up getting pissed off at having to reroll it again because you have a wrong rune, or the wrong headgear - or even forgot a suffix mod on a weapon.

I would prefer this to my idea (linked to in the OP) but I feel that my idea is eaiser to implement. But both options would kill all the advantages that PvE characters get over PvP characters, except for looks.

TheOneMephisto
/signed for everything but the dyes. I think that PvE and PvP characters should be equal, but if you want to look good then you ahve to be PvE. Basically it should be:
PvP=all max stats with crappy looks
PvE=all max stats with crappy to awesome looks.

Having to reroll after making mistakes or if I want to change my build gets tedious and annoying.

B Ephekt
I completely agree. Rerolling is a huge pain, especially since you can't save builds and 1/2 the people don't wait for you.
One thing I would like to add though, make the profession changer work for both pvp-only characters and pve characters. It's so annoying to have to leave pvp island just to change secondaries.

this would take a lot of work to program. I think they have better things to do than this just cause people are too lazy to recreate.

/signed, except for the dye trader (that's just unnesecary)
Nice solution, and not too much work to program this, i think.

And if you've ever been in HA, there is already a rune trader there (but it accepts gold). It's not like it's some huge task, and I honeslty have no idea why anyone would be opposed to game improvements. Devs get paid for this sort of thing, you know...
Nilator
/signed I have a prot monk, that I would love to be able to change to heal or whatever with out deleting him.
TomD22
Yes, yes, please! Anything that can allow me to change a char without having to reroll every 10 seconds. It's crazy that when making and changing builds the only way to do it is actually to log right out of the game, then long back in again (complete with typing password again etc) and then create a new character from scratch. Even worse if you just missed one rune or something, when you have to make an identical character all over again to change it. It's such an awkward system, a really crazy setup, and this could help to alleviate it a bit.

I'd like this very much, too often I need one more weapon than the pvp screen lets me bring, so i have to customize my greens to pvp chars >.<

Provided Anet fixes issues with getting stuck in maps, I would agree 100% with this. Having to use a weapon set for a Vampiric weapon (on a caster) just incase I get stuck in the ground would be a pain in the ass.
Also, on a related note; four weapon slots for PvP characters on creation.

For the welfare of all players who actively re-rolls their PvP-only character, I hereby bump this thread back to the first page of Sardelac.
If anyone has any ideas to contribute to this thread, please do so.
Cheers.

it is annoying having to reroll my one pvp slot over and over again just becuz i wanted to try somthing new out in pvp and use a diff secondary. Maybe add somthing Trade 500faction to craft another weapon/get diff armour or runes to reduce ppl from abusing it plus would give the ppl who have unlock all there skills somthing to do with all those faction points they have.

/signed for the weapons/armors dudes, provided they do take one of your weapons or you current armor set whenever you get a new one (yes, I think it's fair that players who have spent much time in PvE to get their equipment have the slight advantage of having several armor sets in their inventory and more weapons)
/notsigned for dyes: same reasons than above: let's leave this priviledge for PvEers: after sweat and tears need some kind of reward

A bit of a thread necromancy here, but it is necessary.
I saw a new thread which has issues that this thread has covered.
Plus, it is always good to receive new feedback from the community.

I can't believe this thread has not received any feedback, surely there must be more than just 20 PvP-only-characters players out there that support this idea?

Altho it should be the same offers as the char creation screen, nothing more nothing less. (Does this mean you can also stack various armors? Or carry more weapons than 2 etc.?) That would be a nice boost and close the gap a bit more between having a pve char for pvp, and just pvp created character.

Just 4 votes, that's it?
Well at least there are some votes of support this time.
Yes, the skins are standard PvP weapons skin, nothing spectucular.
More feedback is requested.
Regarding why I think locking out inventory during PvP is a bad idea, basically
it would make people unhappy, especially those who enjoy switching armor during PvP.
NOTE: I myself do not switch armor pieces during PvP combat, even though I PvP with my RPG characters.
Instead of making people unhappy, why not let us focus on making people happy?
I am certain the suggestions proposed in this topic will serve to make a large amount of PvPers who PvP with PvP-only characters very happy.
Where are they?
Why they did not come and support this proposed idea?
