Ascended Weapon Colors
I’m not miffed by it really. It works this way with any other skin in GW2. It would be nice if we could dye weapons as was possible in GW1 or have tech to switch among the available colors as the legendaries have tech to switch among available stats, but it probably isn’t worthwhile right now.
Actually, with all the gold we have to put in them, I would not have found it amiss to let us choose which colour we prefer. Making two is very costly just to get the stats and color you like.
It’s slightly better than their old system. One skin with one set color for all stat combinations. No choice in the matter at all.
I’m curious if armor will get this color to stat treatment, if it did, I think the color swap would be nearly a requirement for Ascended craftables as they’d likely make the armor unable to be dyed (which I could live with, or just transmute it).
@Mistro ya I thought of suggesting the ability swap colors like you said but I had already posted and felt lazy I just really don’t like the red ascended color but I really like the white one why oh why does it have to be healing power that gets it. And ya I hope they bring back weapon dye they could even make it have separate dyes for weapons I wouldn’t even care about having to go and collect them.
Fortunately I’m not generally a fan of the Ascended skins, so if/when I do end up getting Ascended weapons, I’ll just transmute my dungeon/Exotic skins over them. XD
I’m also dissatisfied with the fixed colors in combination with the lack of ability to dye weapons. I’m not very happy with weapon chest drops being locked to a specific prefix either. I got a valkrie stat weapon chest and I picked the trident because there’s no way I would equip that in a slot that I would make significant use out of and you can’t even salvage unwanted ascended items.
OP is right, this is nonsense – and we’re in a game where offical statement was cosmetic leveling over the stat grind -.-’
