Guild Wars 2

So…does anybody know if fractal weapon skins actually do drop in “containers” yet, because I haven’t seen anybody mention getting one. I’m assuming they didn’t make it in this patch and ANet meant “future added levels.”

I would also like to know

Faux.1937:

Ive ran over 200+ fractals and I dont even have a half the skins, I have multi characters in the 20’s and 30’s and my main fractal character is 49 and Ive done about 30-40 level 40+

I truly feel they should be skins and not weapons.

Im ok with it being at level 10 now, b.c we can only have 1 chance to get that weapon a day now, no more doing multi daily runs for a chance.

this, every day. Since dailies are account bound now, you can’t just run 8 alts through level 28, 38 and 48 to maximize your chances of a skin. You get 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 if you made it that far. (41 if you didn’t). Hard-fast 5 chances per day per account as opposed to 3*(number of characters at 40+ personal level), which on my account would have been thief 20+ and 30+, mesmer 20, 30 and 40+, guardian 20,. 30 and 40+, warrior 20+ every single day if I decided to grind it out. It’s also easy because sometimes you were able to jump into groups with someone who DC’d or left the group partway or even most of the way through, making for a practically free daily.

So HAS anyone gotten a Fractal weapon skin from level 10 – 19 so far? After all the hubbub, I’d like to know if the odds have actually increased or whether people were getting upset over nothing.

this is lovely, my sword won’t drop its value.

Don’t know about 10, but they definitely drop at level 11.

This is the attitude that’s shows what’s wrong with the game. It stopped being about looks and fun with people, and more about some fake prestige, it’s chaos gloves alll over again and onwards.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Unfortunately the change doesn’t apply to items that have already been acquired. Ultimately that’s what I wanted but there was a pretty severe technical limitation on this, so we thought it would be better to make the newly items work this way rather than postpone the conversion any longer.

Also, at higher Fractal levels the weapon skins become more common, and also start dropping in a container that lets you pick the one you want.

How about being given the ability to trade a fractal weapon in for a skin? Either one that’s already been transmuted, or one without stats. I hardly believe most people would trade their transmuted fractal weapons, but the possibility remains, and we still deserve to have that choice.

No.

The more people can enjoy them the better.

Nice .. i expect you this evening sharing your gold and your materials so more people can enjoy them....

Or selling at the tp way under the current price......

Its really sad to see how some people use this reasoning only when they get some advantage over Others....

We had rare skins that get in competition with TP what we have now?

1 - Falacies are not compelling arguments.
2 - I’d remove the TP from the game entirely if it were my call.
3 - I have fractal skins sitting on the bank.

People.. actually.. cared for the Fractal skins? They’re kinda.. ugly. I’d put a buck on that being somewhat why they’re not commonly spotted. They’re not very flattering skins that most people (that I know at least) wants to use. That’s not to say you shouldn’t enjoy a skin if you like it of course. Not everyone likes the Mesmer illusion weapons either, but I love them.

Still, I almost find it hard to believe anyone likes the Fractal skins. They are not all that well done. If your only reason was “because Joe doesn’t have it, and it makes me feel special”, I don’t even know what to say to you.
