So if I’m not level 10 I cant get a helm or shoulders, and I’m therefore kittened and your once balanced way to pvp on a character of any level is now over. Am I right? If so I’m quitting or you had better fix some kitten quick because this is the dumbest thing ever.
Chest, leg, and boot are used. You’re fine without a helmet, shoulders, or gloves.

Can you explain the reasoning why we have to level up now to get our old ‘looks’ back?
Why can’t there be lvl 1 shoulders/helms etc at the vendor?
This is the way it is in PvE and WvW, we just brought PvP in line with the rest of the game.
You can level through PvP only. You will receive tomes of knowledge from reward tracks, along with other rewards.

And if someone wants helmet shoulders and gloves?
I believe shoulders are the only slots gated by level but I could be wrong. In any case, just play some PvP and your character will be high enough soon.
“Just deal with it”
Thanks, bro.
I wouldn’t put it that way, but we did expect a period of adjustment.
Justin, how about weapon swap? That unlocks at level 7 correct? I had a guild member who only does sPvP (level 2), but can’t buy shoulders or swap weapons.
Let me find out.
Could you at least tell us WHY you did this change? It seems so pointless.
To bring PvP in line with how the rest of the game works.
Which I assume is also why PVPers aren’t allowed to freely change their skins now without having to get charges now.
You apply skins to weapons and armor, after you apply it you can still keep them in your inventory and swap them for free.

Talked to the gameplay peopleguys, they said it works, you just need to equip the second set. You should ask them try equipping the second set from the PvP build UI.
Thats true, I didn’t think about that, but that now means I have to spend a lot of bank space or character space holding different item skins if I’m someone who likes to swap skins when I feel like it.
I liked having the huge storage I could put everything I had and could swap with whenever I wanted.
If the game had free skin changes like DCUO or LOTRO this wouldn’t be an issue, but why should we have to pay for it?
I can’t speak for that design decision, it goes beyond just the PvP team and also involves the economy folks. I do believe there are a lot of very good arguments for it, but honestly I’m ignorant and haven’t been following the internal discussion.
I will say that we made sure that you are able to receive transmutation charges from playing PvP alone because we know there are players that like to switch often, myself included.
And what of all those character slots we purchased for the sole intention of pvp’ing? Multiple characters of the same profession that we need to unlock traits and level?
I can’t really add anything more to what has already been said, but feel free to continue posting feedback in one of the threads regarding character-bound unlocks. We are listening.
Translation vent until you eventually realise it is futile and cough up them gems
Hah. You need better translation software.
