What happened here? Am I the only one who is extremely disappointed with the new skins?

Why?
Have you heard the awesome sound effects for the pistol and rifle?

Only thing I was “disappointed” in was the torch, I really wanted and 8-bit flame like the candle from in the sab.

Otherwise, what’s to be disappointed with? They match the theme.

washed out quality of the colors, the way topenetrant red on the handles (the first batch didn´t had so much red, lack of quality in design and the overall presentation.
put set on and 2 next to each other you see what i mean.

Yep, set 2 is VERY lackluster compared to set 1. They really phoned it in on the less popular weapons, as always. Anet particularly hates daggers and refuses to give most good particle effects for whatever reason.

Have them all my my mesmer and warrior now, no I really don’t see.

Too much red on the handles? Okay, none of the others really had handles, but the GS has a great big red/pink “jewel” on the pummel and so do the swords, much more glaring than the redish/brown handles on the torch/hammer and mace. No red on the staff.

Colors… core blue and particle effects are identical…
Sword and Scepter next to Torch and Focus…. if anything the new ones are a tad bit more detailed.

I have zero opinion on the quality if the designs, but from the images you posted the blue does look much less intense in the second photo.

Different lighting, which was intentional.

The Sword in the first photo and the Scepter in the second are both from the first set (first half of the set) the Torch in the first photo and the Focus in the second photo are from the new set. If the only color difference you see is between the lighting of the two photo’s, then it’s not a difference between the two sets.

To me the ‘two’ sets appear to match up just fine.

My guess is that people are comparing the new set in the preview pane, to weapons they already have. But the preview pane offers the dullest lighting in the game.
Everything looks better when actually equipped. and when equipped together I fail to see what the complaint is.
