Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,
For all of you still at work, I made a Fused Weapon Skins gallery from the Black Lion chests.

Looks like CoF 2.0

looking cool ‘n stuff, but seriously? more flame-based stuff? i mean yeah it’s only logical with this flame alliance.. but man there’s pretty much fire going on on weapons and armor compared to other elements :/

Woo, more weapons on fire. I hate how flames are apparently enough to make a weapon look good.

For me, they aren’t anywhere near cool enough looking to justify gambling for.

You know, after years of supporting ArenaNet, and buying all their games, I’ve come to a conclusion. They really like zombies and fire.
Throughout both Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2, we’ve come across three main undead forces:

• The Undead Lich’s Orian undead.
• Joko’s Undead Army
• Zaithan’s Risen Army

Then we have all the fire aligned races and their respective weapons:

• The Titans (Didn’t have a weapon set based on them)
• Flame Legion (Didn’t a weapon set based on them in Guild Wars, but they do in Guild Wars 2)
• Dredge (Didn’t a weapon set based on them in Guild Wars, but they do in Guild Wars 2)
• Destroyers (Had a weapon set based on them in Guild Wars, and have one based on them in Guild Wars 2)

Now the Molten Alliance may be a combination of both the Flame Legion and Dredge, but they still have their own weapon set based heavily on fire. Seriously, they really like zombies and fire! :X

I really have to go with this guy. This stuff really looks like redone CoF stuff and I might have it on a few characters but that is because CoF is the best place to cash spam. Not because I like it. Oh.. and saving my few fine transmutation stones for something else. =/

Thought something better would have come from the -molten alliance-. You know.. considering the dredge have all that old Dwarf technology and the Flame Legion has decent enchanters. Maybe something.. more dwarfish… I dunno.

Edit: I know Flame Legion is all fire and the Dredge is forgey type stuff? But the flame look is so overdone right now. Should have done another story arc if this is how it was going to end up looking.

I am sorry I am kind of new to all this stuff so forgive the ignorance but what is CoF? I keep seeing this acronym but whats it stand for was curious I haven’t done any if much WvW, PvP or dungeon stuff I mainly have stuck the the PVE life story stuff so can someone please elaborate?

Citadel of Flame ~ The flame legion dungeon in Fireheart Rise in Ascalon.

Neat looking, but like the others have said, it looks like an expansion to the Citadel of Flame weapons, I don’t see much of the dredge weapon stuff past the fire. And I have to get lucky with Black Lion Chests to get these? Not worth the trouble, I’m afraid.

I don’t really see the point of making galleries for weapons, you can easily preview them, unless they’re legendaries or fractal weapons.
I spent 40g on keys and got nothing, wouldn’t mind to spend more If I got more reasonable stuff.
Does anyone know if the weapons are a permanent addition to the game, or will are they temporary, if they’re temporary, for how long?

Some correction I feel the inherent need to point out.

Dredge aren’t a ‘flame based enemy’. At least no more than Engineers and Iron Legion are ‘flame based allies’ because they tend towards a gritty ‘forged look’.

Also technically speaking, Titans are demons that change depending on their Environment. Yes, the Iconic Titan is a ‘fire’ based enemy, but that’s because our introduction to them was on the Ring of Fire. We also encountered more ‘chaotic/demonic’ variants in the DoA, nature variants in the Meguma, and ice variants in the Shiverpeaks.

So bringing up two races that aren’t strictly under the Fire Theme without weapons prior to the release of The Razing feels like you’re groping a bit for an argument here. And I’d even argue that the Fused Weapons aren’t even technically Dredge, seeing as the Flame effects are you know… the Flame Legion bit of that infused quality.

However I do agree that some tropes are played out a bit more frequently than I’d like in the Guild Wars universe such as their love for Abandon-All-Hope-Ye-Who-Enter-Here endgame zones (Ring of Fire, Desolation, Domain of Anguish, and Orr all come to mind).
