Honestly, I'd like to see some sort of flashy emote for PvErs, like if you beat every mission you'd get an emote, if you beat every bonus, you'd get a better emote, ect. I like how we get titles now, but they are not flashy in the least. And I realize that one could argue that that fancy armor is the PvErs reward, but it just seems rather unfair that PvPers get a giant tiger/phoenix/whatever, whereas we just get a cool skin to wear.

A.net favors PVP? Dude A.net gave you whole new content, only thing PVP got from chapter 2 is 12 vs 12.

PVE does not need emotes for all you did was finish a mission.

PVErs are already flashy. We get 15k armor, we get FoW armor, we have access to better weapons , and the special event items (halloween, wintersday, day of the tengu) are for PvE characters only. Sure a PvP player can buy weapons, but that would mean they have to grind to get the gold, thus disqualifying them from the "hardcore PvP only" type.

How can i think that Anet favors PvP? Well, FOW armor is rather dull unless it's dyed an extraodinary color, but a fame emote is TOTALLY noticeable. It's got a giant animal shooting out of somebody, it's gold, it's got a crazy aura about it, ect.

That's how I think Anet favors PvP.

PvP does not need emotes for all out did was kill a bunch of people with IWAY/Spike.

DUDE! OP was not asking for an emote for finishing A mission. He suggested one for finishing every mission (a minor accomplishment) and every bonus (a significant accomplishment). I see no harm in this and it in no way takes away from the accomplishments of PvP elitests.

Eh, use the Edit button to, edit a post to cause less spam in a thread.

I'm sorry if you think all HOH wins is Iway, but it's really not. As for spike builds, many varations and new styles are forming. I'm thinking you don't HOH much. But on a good balance build, it's all about positioning and tactics. 1 team vs. 1 team, the better of the team wins. As for a battle to win HOH, it takes patience and tactics.

As I said, A.net does not favor PVP more. As for completing a mission, who needs a a new emote after each mission and bonus? Every, almost all mission is henchie-able, why emote for it when countless people from Chapter 1 know their usefullness.

Anet does favor PvP. Take a look at the Faction PvE content. When you get to the mainland what level are you? Level 20 or close to it (as long as you do all the missions and quests available up to then). What level are the henchies? 20. What level are the enemies? 20. The PvE content very closely resembles PvP except that instead of other players controlling the opponents it's an AI instead. You have competition between the alliances of the same faction to see who can get the most faction points (current way by farming) to control the elite missions. That is an indirect PvP in that it is players still competing against other players but just not toe to toe (me fight you). Then you have the factions Luxon vs Kurzick. This is a combination of both kinds of PvP. Both a case of me fight you and me and you competing less directly for the same goal. All of this is suppose to be PvE content?

I specifically said nothing about Anet favoring PvE or PvP. That is not an argument that I care to get into on these forums.

And, as I said, the OP is not asking for an emote for completing "A" mission or bonus. Please re-read the OP.

The OP means get one shiny emote for finishing every mission or bonus in the game. One emote for finishing every mission or bonus in the game. Simple as that.

i agree with being able to unlock dyes/skins, also making it so more than 10k faction can be obtained at once.

i also agree PVE needs emotes, maybe for example finishing both games, gets you one emote.

ANet favours PvE....lol.

We have hundreds of weapons, bows, shields, staffs, wands, offhands. We have 38 coop missions. We have 2 countries to roam. We have FoW/UW. We have nice armour. Rangers can get several species for a pet. We can fight countless enemies. Now, lets see what PvP has to offer....

1.5k armour, only pets a wolf. They can 12v12, RA/TA, HoH. PvP only chars cannot leave battle isles.

Now, you sure ANet favours PvP?

Yes ANet favors PvP; because the game was made for and meant for PvP players. Research FTW.

There is one area where PvP is definitely favored. Most skill changes are based on PvP balance and suggestions of PvP players, regardless of what the PvE players think of the changes. Now ...... I'm not saying this is right or wrong .... just pointing out what I have seen since I started playing this game.

Exactly. Look at what happened to IWAY (hey it's most famous). How much would you like to bet that MM necros got nerfed because of minion factories in Heroes Ascent too.

GW started as PvE/Rpg w/ PvP. Since then PvE and PvP are on equal footing and they do take great concern to make sure PvP is balanced and fair (or the attempt at it).

It is true that ArenaNet rewards PvP in a more prestigous way, through exclusive cape designs and trims to champion guilds, emotes, and so on. But it's wrong to say they neglect anything PvE-wise. They make PvE very rewarding and addicting. Titles and 15k/Obsidian armor are just a few goodies that are available only via PvE. And honestly PvP does require much more cooperation and dedication, so it is fair that champions of PvP are more renowned. So it is fine the way it is.

Heightened state of mind.

P/W

WE got titles..... I wouldn't mind if there was a different kind of flashy emote for characters which improved for each title they maxed, that would be a decent addition.

How about Wings, little wings, big wings, bat wings, featherd wings, Huge Dragon wings with claws on the limbs.

Well something or other, it is just a flash for people to show off. And there are plenty of people to play PvE but don't grind just so they can look stunning in some armor. If I come by the gold over time I may get some 15K assassin armor, but I don't intend to grind.

Getting a Signature for being a great PvE player, not grinder, would be nice, and it would be a further insentive for players to go back through missions and hit maximum or bonuses, as well as explore the maps thourougly, a reward for succeeding at PvE challenges, not grinding, would be very nice.

i hope ur not alluding to the fact that minion factories are good

but skill changes also happens due to over farming and other builds that becomes too popular i.e the 55 monks. i mean theres a lot of pvpers who got pissed that they werent able to get there 2 dam count...lol..jk.

but the point is thatthey dont just change it for pvp.

Anyone who thinks PVE is more fun than PVP has some serious mental problems.
We should just petition Anet to scrap PVE and focus on PVP. What do you think? That would solve PVP elitism permanently. With everyone doing PVP, the so-called PVP elite would just be like any other player.

Indeed. I have played for over a year, and 99.9% of that playtime was all PvE. So my earlier comments are coming from the perspective of a dedicated PvE'er.

If you haven't learned by now, Guild Wars is a game of preference. There are no right or wrong ways to play; it's all about what you and your friends wish to do. So there is no need for taking a verbal shot at anyone who plays a certain way.


But seriously, high-level PvP simply does take more planning and communication and thus deserves to have greater emphasis and recognition than its PvE counterpart. But that is no reason to put PvE on a lower level; it is equally as fun.

PvE has 15k and FoW armor. It also has ultra rare weapons. You have emotes that you can use 100% of the time, instead of every 30 seconds.

Emotes have been suggested before, and I'm personally tired of seeing arguments of how one might be better than the other degenerating into assaults on players of a certain style.
