It was originally "exclusive" to PAX last year or something like that, so people put the code up on eBay and it went for a fortune. There are some babies absolutely raging right now that it's being offered again.

Codes were only handed out at cons, so some people paid an absurd amount of money over eBay for them. Of course, now that they can be obtained legitimately these people are raising hell, ignoring the fact that buying the code was expressly against the terms of service. edit - just to be clear, some people paid well over one thousand dollars for the mini. You can now obtain it by buying, what, $50 in gems? Kessel fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Dec 2, 2013 |

New PvP Stuff posted:In the December 10th update, you’ll be able to earn gold in PvP as a match reward. As an extension of that, you’ll also be able to spend glory and gold to purchase account-bound Tomes of Knowledge, which grant a level each and will allow you to level up any of your characters. Yesssss New PvP Stuff posted:In the months that follow, we will be working to eliminate the difference between PvP and PvE gear. Players will be able to earn gear in PvP that can be carried over to PvE and vice versa. This means that players who have carefully crafted their appearance in one area of the game will have a way to carry that look over to other areas of the game. Double yesssss

CLAM DOWN posted:Paste highlights here please? Up until October 29, PvP glory rewards were based on personal score in each match. Now, you earn rewards based on whether you win or lose, as well as a few contributing factors such as top stats. Rewards are also now scaled based on the duration of the match. The primary purpose behind this change was to simplify balance of rewards for playing PvP. This allows us to widen acceptable ranges for Custom Arena settings and lay the groundwork for new game types and map mechanics. In addition, we saw that some types of builds, such as bunkers, were not scoring as much as other types of builds. PvP is a team effort, and a team should win or lose together. If you serve a vital role that tends not to score as much, you should still get your share of victory. Working harder for a win should result in higher rewards. With this change, we will not only reward winning in PvP more than losing, but formats where the competition is higher will receive greater rewards. In the December 10th update, you’ll be able to earn gold in PvP as a match reward. As an extension of that, you’ll also be able to spend glory and gold to purchase account-bound Tomes of Knowledge, which grant a level each and will allow you to level up any of your characters. The Tome of Knowledge will be found on a new glory vendor that has several items available for purchase with both glory and gold. Also in this update, the Skills and Balance team will introduce new healing skills to the game. To acquire new skills, in both PvP and PvE, players will need to spend skill points to unlock them. Unlocking the skill unlocks it for all parts of the game. Going forward newly added skills will require skill points. Existing skills will remain unlocked for PvP. Another thing to look forward to in the December 10th update will be new daily achievements for wins in Solo and Team Arenas. These will give players the chance to earn up to four additional total achievement points per day. Along with this change we will be rebalancing the Slayer and Conqueror. The points will be spread out more and additional tiers will be added. In the months that follow, we will be working to eliminate the difference between PvP and PvE gear. Players will be able to earn gear in PvP that can be carried over to PvE and vice versa. This means that players who have carefully crafted their appearance in one area of the game will have a way to carry that look over to other areas of the game. Even though we will be eliminating the distinction between PvP and PvE gear, gear in PvP will continue to not have stats. The armor and weapons you carry into PvP will be, like they are now, just for looks. Traits, skills, runes and sigils will still be different for PvP so you will continue to be able to have different builds in PvP and PvE. Existing PvP skins will still have value with upcoming changes, so it benefits you greatly to continue filling out your collection. Also updated reward system and ladder system.

CLAM DOWN posted:Paste highlights here please? Your gear is going to look the same in pvp and pve. There will be level up scrolls on the glory vendors. Gold rewards for pvp. New healing skills, you'll need to spend skill points to get them for both pve and pvp. Glory will eventually be retired once a new reward system that allows you to work towards specific rewards is in place. Something about ladders and seasons and removing ranks.

Apologies to QUEEN CAUCUS for totally stealing your skinned look, needed a sylvari though and after looking at options for their medium armor classes I had to see if that set was as good as I'd thought it'd be on a skinless.

Maybe now we'll finally have enough people willing to do eSports to actually put together a team and truly become world's premier #1 PvEverything guild. Mostly I'm just hoping that the "unified look" roadmap goal will involve an account-wide skin locker shared between all game modes. They did say they wanted to do it at some point, maybe that will finally be it!

The thing holding me (and I'd bet many others) back from wanting to do more sPvP isn't the lack of rewards or quality of life updates, it's the sheer monotony of having a single game type and just a handful of maps.

In any case they intend to retire glory as a currency. That means that in the long run you may well be able to straight up level an alt by paying for it with gold.
