Guild Wars 2

I didn’t find them posted yet, so after a long wait and multiple threads of many, including me, asking for them, here is a link to guildwars2hub with images of all of them so you can decide which ones you want before release! Ok, less than a day before, but good enough!

http://www.guildwars2hub.com/media/gallery/dragons-jade-weapon-gallery

I still need to see them in preview mode on my character hand, but I like specially the 1-handed Sword, Shield, Axe and Pistol. Which ones you like the most?

Wow, we’re not only getting a scepter that isn’t a shortened copy of staff, but one that actually looks good. Well… assuming these aren’t trapped behind another asinine RNG gate anyway…

Hammer and staff look great. Nice to see some new refreshing skins.

Runner up to the mace, don’t ever use maces but that giant rock on the end looks brutal.

They all look pretty good, but the axe, longbow, shield and staff are particularly nice. Thanks for the link.

Asinine, Gem Store based RNG gate incoming, of course. The previews said the weapons were actually common, but I doubt they will appear more often than the esclerite skins (and we know how much of a success those were).

Wow, they are even more Canthan looking than expected. Made of jade, and using a serpentine dragon that is very Asian looking. About as close as you can get to Cantha without actually mentioning its name.

Rifle and pistol look a bit thick but we’ll see..they probably would look better in game. Most weapons look awesome though I’m digging that longbow and shield

I’m sure there are a lot of engineers who say of most rifle skins “looks a bit thin…”

All these weapons are insanely good looking well except for the rifle, its the 1st set of weapons which I find myself wanting them all pity they are all locked behind f-ing RNG boxes, I will be lucky if i get even 1 of them.

They aren’t just rng. From the dev live stream: " Rich Dragon Coffer can be purchased from the gemstore, normal ones can be dropped in the open world."

Other than the charrzooka thats true. Guess this one goes out to everyone who likes it thick~

Isn’t this also the case with southsun chests ? And the fused weapons ?

The longbow is spectacular, too bad my thief can’t use it. The short bow is ok, really like the dagger too.

“Rich” means guaranteed ticket. Normal one like Southsun drop in the world and by participating in events.

So more added content most of us will never ever see, let alone get to use…

I’m presuming you’re speaking specifically to the weapon skins. Because there’s nothing stopping you from seeing the rest of the Dragon Bash content.

Well how else do you just give every one every skin? Do you make it one per account do you make it one per hero (soul bound we do not want ppl to make a new hero for a skin only to just delete that hero after they gotten it).

How else do you just give every one every skin? How should I know, especially since that sentence makes no sense. Are you saying everyone should get every skin? Or that such a suggestion is absurd? I don’t see how either interpretation matters as neither I nor anybody else stated that every skin should just be given to anyone. I honestly can’t tell what you are trying to say except that you seem to be peeved about it.

As the thread was about the skins, yes..

The bladed stuff is quite nice.

Actually it all looks quite nice, but all the dragon stuff doesn’t fit any of my characters. But the jade bladed stuff is quite nice indeed…

I predict this will bring scale mail into fashion. The idea of having a serpentine dragon clinging to my back (shield) is enticing indeed.

PS: Or is there a set of armor that goes with this?

Well i can come up with ideas, Anet wont listen to me but i can come up with ideas..

How about add content to follow and then when you complete it you get a weapon ticket as a reward, to choose one weapon per account, per character, what ever, make it a level requirement to receive it, say level 40 or such…

Still seems more fair than a RNG wallet fest the last few were…

So just ask for it to be removed from the gem shop. RNG give items some level of uniqueness and at the end of the day that what most players are looking for when they play these mmorpg or truly any online game.

Maybe you not me, i come to them to socialise and enjoy myself casually, i like a reward, i do not care who else owns them, my ego is fine as it is i do not need Virtual items to flex it..

No where does it say 100%, so i’ll assume its the same as the past events..

This. It doesn’t say it will be 100%, other times many supposed that each chest had a 100% chance because of misleading wording. Read more into it, it just says that the normal ones have a rarer chance, not that the rich ones are guaranteed drops.

Do not misslead the community or soon we will have thousands of “you lied a-net! no 100% chance on rich chests!” threads.

Looks great except the oversized GS. Why of why those things always has to be huge Anime-swords :P

They look worse then the Sclerite weps. Atleast those had blood/ichor dripping. These seem so generic and bland. No glow , no effects..

They actually look really nice. Unfortunately they don’t suit any of my characters themeatically so I have no reason to pursue them. Also paying for weapons in a video game goes against my principles so that cements my decision (unless they’re part of extra buyable content like the BMP from GW1). Good luck to those who seek them though as they are, again, quite pretty.

no armor skin ones ?
i thought there were gauntlet and helmet

They look really nice- much nicer that I expected from seeing the GS skin earlier.
I can do with several of them starting with dual pistols, Longbow and Staff oh yes I can.
Pity I won’t buy RnG boxes- if it was confirmed that the gemstore boxes gave guaranteed tickets, I would -otherwise not

Is it too much to ask for a nice, smooth, straight edged One-handed sword? I’m getting really tired of all the swords looking like they were just carved with no real purpose in mind. I suppose they’re supposed to be more decorative, but. Eugh..

AUGH.

THAT ONE HANDED SWORD.

WHY.

SchuMidas.4782:

There is going to be a helmet but it is probably not in the same style and it won’t be obtained the same way.

Dagger and sword seems to have gotten the short end of the stick.

not a fan of twisted dragon design (and they are overly used in this set imo, the longbow looks especially silly). btw, Is there any armor skins to match with?

Oh kitten it looks like they will finally get me to use the shop.

The longbow is awesome looking.

Thank God, skins that actually resemble traditional fantasy weapons, not another set of zany futuristic toys with obnoxious effects for obnoxious people.

Hi Grim,

I’ve read this page when it first became available. Unfortunately, and as others have already pointed out, it leaves room for question – i.e., it’s ambiguous.

You can find weapon tickets inside Rich Dragon Coffers and (rarely) in Dragon Coffers

The careful reader will ask: You “can” find tickets in the Rich Dragon Coffers, but does “can” mean “always”?

This would not be in question had they instead written: “Each Rich Dragon Coffer contains a weapon ticket.” I am not playing with semantics – the distinction is not a trivial or frivolous one as discovering the truth requires an expenditure of real-life cash. Yes, I could convert gold to gems but I believe in rewarding ArenaNet with cash for providing a superior product and player experience – as I would like to their service continue – provided they do not attempt to lead me into gambling with my money.

We’ll find out soon enough from player reports, which I will wait to hear before making any purchases.

Thanks!

Omg, do want…

That Axe, Greatsword, Shield and Sword…

The staff is very pretty!

Wow. These skins are incredible. Amazing attention to detail.

With the current information we have on rich dragon coffers, it means there’s a storm coming. I implore you Arenanet, don’t turn into a casino. Please don’t do it.

I’d like a pair of the pistols. But based on the last couple events in which I got one after about 50 chests and the other nothing after 20 or so crates, I don’t see it happening.

Thanks for having a name that made me stop and read it letter-by-letter to see that it wasn’t what I thought it was. :P

“Wait a minute, his name isn’t…?! Oh, it isn’t.”

Enjoy the festival, and I hope you get your pistols!

Dont forget that the dragon hologram is around the world(not in Orr ok) so maybe there is a higher chance to get some tickets.

one day we will have a nice dagger skin….but not today….
the staff is awesome…yet i won t get any of them as Always <.<

They said it will be more common and easier to get compare to the previous weapons ticket, lets just wait and see how it turns out.

These are beautiful designs and the attention to details is stunning! The only thing putting me off, personally, is that these skins look like precious works of art, not actual weapons one could bring to a battle. It’s acceptable for a staff, warhorn, focus, hell, even for rifle/pistol, but a huge heavy hammer with delicate dragon decorations? You gotta be kidding

I really like the Staff, Longbow and the 1H sword. I’ve been trying to find a Staff that I like for quite some time now..fingers-crossed I’ll be able to get that one!

Gah, so many to pick from and so little time…

I didn’t like any of those…
