Oh god please no! Shamrock weapons would be perfect for the Mesmer I already fitted with the lovestruck! XD

I like hammer, hammer of love rly nice but my engi cant use hammers :/, w8ing for easter egg weapons…

Love, love, love them skins (besides the bow and greatsword, though). ^^ No Disneyfeel at all, they are just plain pretty skins. The combo of red hearts and dark grey steel is quite appealing. If they would have used white and gold, that would’ve been Kitsch Kingdom. :-)

opened 30 chests and nothing…

I was expecting at least 1 skin from opeing 30 chests. 30 keys cost me around $35….RNG delivers again…

Did you get any ticket scraps? You can use 10 ticket scraps to convert into a Claim Ticket and buy one skin from the BLT Specialist.

I got 7 ticket scraps. Not enough for anything….

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the person(s) who designed these lovely new skins. The staff looks absolutely gorgeous on my necro!

That looks absolutely amazing. Kudos.

I do find it a bit off-putting that skins like this get released on a near-regular basis and can be sold on the TP for whatever price the community sets, yet again allowing players to gain a financial advantage in-game (which can, in turn, be used to gain a stat advantage through purchase of other items with that cash) if they’re richer in real life than other players are.
Sure, everyone has access to the same things — no one’s directly hobbled in the stat race — but some have wheels and an engine where others have to walk.

My concern is more along the lines that activities in the game feel less rewarding because the most desirable new content is in the gem store and very little of it gets added to the overall game. Those faction specific cyphers would be a lot more interesting if you could get faction specific weapons from them. The Living Story dungeons would have been a lot more rewarding if you could get the faction specific weapons from them (or armour sets). Instead the playable content feels poorly rewarded and the gem store is stacked. I wish they could find a different model or a better balance in the existing model that didn’t make gameplay rewards feel to starved.

I do think the new weapons are a little immersion breaking but in a world with the Dreamer it’s not the worst we’ve seen. I’m sure there are players that will absolutely love these and I’m glad they get to be happy.

The quality of the gem store weapon skins has consistently far surpassed what we’ve seen for the launch skins (especially compared to the majority of exotics). I can’t wait for an expansion where this quality of skins aren’t gem store privileges and this calibre of weapon design becomes a normal game reward more of us can enjoy without throwing out month’s of gold farming or a sizable chunk of your paycheck.

I agree. Very well put. What’s the point in playing if how you’re rewarded is through spending money? Isn’t that venturing near IMVU and Second Life territory (neither of which I’m remotely interested in)?

First thing I did was get the shield and pistol for my Engie. And the staff for my Ele…and so on and so on….

I suppose you developers have some sweet console commands for this?
Like /add x blticket

Or maybe their paycheck is in Gems.

Ahahah. No. We have zero special commands on the live servers. I earned mine! /flex

Really? Because normal people have to rely on luck. There’s no “earning” of anything here.

She might have played the game enough to earn enough gold to get skins off the TP, y’know.

I still think the weapons need a particle effect.

The dagger skin without the tacky hearts would be utter beast mode to use, the design is flawless.

And alas, hidden behind overpriced mega gamble RNG box of unluckiness.

Reduce the gem prices of the entire gem store, or set a proper cost, and I’d actually spend money in the gem store.

$10 for a character slot? No thank you. Maybe $2, and I’d buy heaps of them, as would others.

$5 for an extra inventory bag slot? No thank you, that’s ridiculously overpriced, haven’t bought a single one. $0.50 or $1 each and I’ll fill up ALL my characters, so would a lot of other people.

And that is just an example.

You would actually make more money from the gem store this way, instead you’d rather turn people away. Your loss honestly, its mind boggling.

Those daggers are great for Heartseeker thieves… get it?

I laughed.

They are very nice looking, I would love to have many of them. Many of the weapons that have come and gone from the gambling chests are nice looking.

It’s unfortunate that so many nice skins either cost a ton of gold or a ton of real life money spent on gambling chests.

Maliel.8362:

Perfect :P I needed to find a good dagger anyway.

And the skins will porobably be like 60 gold next week anyway.. not that expensive.. right :/?

The shield is gorgeous, perhaps the best in game. Like the mace and scepter too.

Great design but unfortunately not into my taste :P Maybe redesign with skulls for necromancers? On a side note I really like new rapier-skin but I think it should be different type of weapon, not a sword skin. I could be introduced for scholars, for example.

I feel so baddd.
I had 3 tickets saved up and all I could afford before these came out was a sclerite weapon that I sold immediately (I’m trying to save up gold for my precursor.) If I would’ve just waited a couple more days, I could have had 3 whole lovestruck skins.

I could’ve put that shield on my engi and kept the rest for when the ticket cost went up. I’m a bit salty at my own impatience.

Let that be a lesson to you all, Arenanet will make cool stuff for NA holidays so just be patient with your gold and tickets and be ready to take part in all the activities when it’s time!

Oh My gawsh you know how much they will sell for with effects?! The humanity… The Forum tears!

I think it’d be cool if Anet gave us a way to forge sigils that had particle effects, kind of like how you upgrade items to have natural agony resistance? or how you could color the Super adventure box weapons? That would be amazing, but I guess some weapons that have effects are rare enough to keep it from affecting server/game performance too adversely…
