We know that many players right now are having difficulty unlocking items, runes and skills for use in PvP. On our private test servers, we have been testing a new reward system that lets you unlock items, runes, and skills for your pvp only characters through kills and victories in PvP. You'll unlock things faster if you are more successful, but we aren't implementing this system just for the elite players. Our goal is that every player will be able to make progress through normal play.

In that same light, these new rewards are not meant to overshadow other methods for character advancement, but rather to allow you to advance your characters in whichever way you prefer. Because of that, we will continue to examine the rate of item, rune and skill acquisition after ascension through cooperative play.

We expect polishing and balancing the new system to take another week and look forward to sharing the changes with you then. Response so far from our testers has been overwhelmingly positive, and we believe this addition will improve the overall experience for everyone who plays the game.

One final note: Some of you will wonder if we've forgotten that ascended characters with obsidian armor need challenges too... Don't worry. You're next.

PVP rewards: I hope the rewards also include new stuff and not only the same runes to unlock.

Challenges: Great (they are probably talking about the new level)

What new level, like a new underworld???

Look here

Thank you, but will it be like the temple of ages thing, where you form a group then go down? Like Underworld and Fissure, and will it be harder?

From my understanding, you gotta go to Lornar's Pass (just south of Beacon's Perch) and look for the entrance to the east part of it. I don't think there's much more information than that as of now. But I'm pretty sure that it'll be as hard, if not, harder than UW or FoW. Only time will tell.

Closed at the request of the OP.
