Arena Only Gear Reward Unlocks

Arena Only Gear Reward Unlocks along with a ladder would seriously inspire. I really do like the games pvp at its current state and would like to keep it as raw as possible but I think it needs encouragement. If you add a reward system players who get stomped into the ground may grow enough patience to battle their way to unlocks or farm gear to progress.

What I mean when I say arena only unlocks, this would be a stash tab or similar specifically for unlocked gear to equip and store for pvp usaage. If u added a prestige system that you advanced ranks through pvp gained a ranking on ladder and awarded chests which yield a random unique or rare peice of gear. It could be done similar to guildwars but I would prefer something more like starcrafts elo system.

right now the competition in low lvl pvp is really low. It seems merci open pvp is decently active in softcore but HC is lacking when it shouldnt be. People spend alot of time finding gear in HC and really shouldnt be discouraged but lack of population. If you add competition through ladder even while underpopulated it will still thrive.

Adding PvP gear waters down all the choices and build diversity. Once a set of PvP gear is introduced, there will become one spec that takes advantage of it most, and trivializes everything the item system and talent/gem system has put in place.

I meant add rewards like various uniques already in the game with a low roll chance to receive from a chest or something along with other things that are just minor and pvp related.

If u just rewarded players with something not game breaking and which already exists it would actually increase build diversity because players would be able to achieve somewhat farming the chance of getting gear by pvping which increases their ability to complete builds while also increasing the pvp populations activity. This would create better pvp for experienced players who are already geared giving them better competition. My point in this post is to change the system to encourage players to pvp. I am the current #1 HC lvl 28 pvper and I have NO one to fight. The good players I go against, I know they feel like they arent getting anything out of being stomped repetitively with no advancement. An award system would be nice but I think adding stuff like low lvl uniques for lowbie arena and high lvl unique rewards for later pvp modes that can only be used for pvp would help.

I do like having to farm my gear through pve. I also like having pvp matches and with the current pvp population its impossible. I feel like if u add some shortcutts people might be willing to focus on it more rather than avoiding it because its overwhelming. This is exactly what I do with HC merci open pvp. I avoid it because I cant keep up with people who dont have jobs lol.

I do think ladders would help alot. Maybe they could make a couple pvp specific uniques that are only rewarded to top ladder players. these uniques would kind of be like demigod presence, as in they arent very powerful more like trophy than a op useful unique. Maybe add a couple player skins or helm skins or weapon or skill effects only available through pvp. I just want more competition.

To trivialize the system would mean the system isnt already trivialized which it is. I have hunted for so much pvp gear yet it sits around and rotts because no one else is willin to put the time into farming as much as I have. Rewards would change this. Or a ladder system.

I completely agree with this post. There should be a reward for good PVPers out there like a unique item similar to the ladder system. This reward would only be for looks and not gamebreaking. This will spice up PVP some more and more people will pvp which will create a surplus of great builds and diversify the PVP community.

definitely. I actually really like the arena the way it currently is. 3v3s are so much fun when they actually have enough people to happen. Just wanna motivate people since so many only care about farming pixels ; )!

with talk of pvp revamps, was just wondering if this should be brought back up or not. I do like using pve gear and I have no problem with the current pvp. I just know that the pvp population in every difficulty and HC and SC is lacking players which I believe is caused by some lack of competition as well as no motivation since theres no ladder yet.

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW PVP PATCH! ctf and ladder hell ya!
