Guild Wars 2

Can we please have the achievement skin rewards like shatterer wings, dragon helmet, flower and sclero back, and upcoming stuff as an account unlock like zenit weapons? That would be much better than this imho.

While I agree with you, and hope that it happens.

However, this should probably be in the Suggestions forum.

That’s a good idea. Supported.

I think they didn’t this time around only because we’re getting the achievement items (Zenith, Radiant, Hellfire) with this patch. While they aren’t directly tied to the BotFW event, we’re still getting snazzy gear items almost for free.

Also, it seems like Anet is trying out something a little new this time around with respect to event rewards. Less RNG (kinda) in that we aren’t getting boxes with awful drop rates for tickets. Instead we’re getting low drop rates for items that we can turn in for backpieces and helms. I see this as another trial in hopes of pleasing more players.

We’re getting free stuff and you want more…

But who knows what comes next for weapon skins. Will they have RNG boxes again or will they offer new weapons from AP again but at even higher AP tiers? (10k+). The future of achievement rewards has me a bit worried if they offer them in the near future.

Its not that we want more (although we do want new stuff for each new event), its we want a way to recreate those event rewards we have already completed, either for alt or on the off chance we delete the one that we did get. Currently there’s no way to get any of the event rewards back, or to get it more than once if we want it on more characters.

Ok that makes a bit more sense and less entitlementy thank you

I don’t like the idea of it becoming a standard achievement reward personally (unless maybe make it tied to the meta for that particular achievement that rewarded the skin). I’d rather we get something in our home instance that can “store” skins and spit out as many as we want (weapon/armor/back-pieces/etc.)

Yes, I made my dragon helmets and shatterer wings pvp skins for example, but want for PVE too
