Guild Wars 2

As the title says, unless I’m mistaken there aren’t skins for certain weapons such as Axes or Rifles etc.

This was also the case at Halloween and it kind of sucks that only some people get the chance to pick up these nice looking limited edition skins while people that don’t use these weapon types are left in the lurch.

I really hope that I have either missed something OR that AN sort this out and start offering more options in the future.

I feel this isn’t really fair, im an engineer and I can use one skin, the shield which doesn’t even look that good compared to the others.

It sucks that there is neither a rifle or pistol skin.

I also very disappointed in this. I won’t be so dramatic as to say it ruins this new adventure box they’ve done, I’ve stepped in it and it just brings a smile to your face.

Unfortunately that excitement is tempered because I can’t really get rewarded from this like those that play — surprise — Greatsword warriors. We really need all the weapon skins here.

Once again no love for pistols or rifles…

We got 500 skins for great swords, but @#$% engineers let’s nerf those guys and give them no skins for their weapons.

The last skins were a pop gun that doesn’t pop, and a brown (wood/gingerbread/fruitcake?) holiday skin…

How about a gamer blaster, or a Nintendo-looking zapper? Nope engineers have to hate playing this game.

Well, here’s to another greatsword and sword skins…

slow clap

yes I am kitten . APRIL FOOLS on me, ANet trolled me.

Completely agreed, but if we consolidate all our complaints about the lack of weapon skills in one thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/sab/Disappointed-in-the-lack-of-skins/first#post1743173

it might help get more attention.

No. YOU consolidate with my thread.

APRIL FOOLS ENGINEERS!

NOT A FTARDING THING FOR YOU
HAHAHAHAHAHA

-Love ANet

Seriously why in the kitten are we having this discussion, we know they just bypass engineers in every single thing.

Congrats on the 500th ftarding Greatsword skin tho, ANet…

where is the hammer skin ?

>finally some new skins lets check out the rifle skin!
>no rifle skin

EVERY SINGLE TIME

Where is dr suess when you need him.

no hammer skin how disappointing

you act as if anet cares

As a dagger user, I’m extremely distraught that there are not more weapon types. Quite odd and frustrating to leave so many weapon types out.

I’m also disappointed that I can’t get a weapon skin for my Engineer. I’ve never used a shield so buying a skin for that would not make much sense.

After all its free content, but I really think that no weapon should be left out.

I was so excited about the 8-bit everything.. Collected a lot of baubles and then went to see what I can get for them then realizing my Necro who runs with Dagger/focus and Axe/Warhorn cant have any skins! WHYYYY?!

WTB Dagger. Guess they hate Dagger Thief tho. .-. They coulda just shrunk the Sword and re-positioned it.

I like the 8 bit theme and the Super Adventure Box is awesome. I do however, wish that there were ALL the basic weapons for all classes.

Hammer in particular.

I agree, I would like to be able to barter a rifle & pistol skin. I don’t like the idea of the shield “covering” engineers.

Ditto, I would rather like to see the rifle or pistol cover engineers.

hey Soulstar.7812 I play engineer….. love the class…. but your right I am sorta disappointed on how the class gets no love by anyone sept those who play them

but I can take consolation in the fact that they can use one of the most epic non legendary skins in the game “Super hyper beem alpha” not to mention the flamethrower… oh the burning fun!

but yah… would love to see rifle/pistol skins…… AND an armor set for this dungeon X(

+1, it’s very unfair that so many weapons are left out. Personally I want daggers as on my ele i run on D/D more than staff. It feels like the swords and great swords receive all the love while the rest of the weapons are a bit left out.

Yeah, I agree. You can always guarantee there will be a greatsword skin… but pistols and rifles? Hardly ever.

i can sort of understand why things like pistols and daggers are missing
often times its hard to even notice the effects on them (which is a shame for my DD Thief)

the rifle missing on the other hand is odd….

Not 100% confirmation we are getting them, but it seems very likely that all the weapon skins are not in for World 1.

Josh Foreman.8250:

For World 2 I absolutely want to make rifle and dagger skins.

If people check out the mmorpg video thingy, that provides ample insight on this… namely that they had to choose between making more skins or making the SAB itself beefier (wacky experiment with limited resources as they put it).

Choosing “between making more skins or making the SAB itself” makes it sound like we aren’t getting any other skins because they chose to finish the box instead. I think a more accurate description is that they put the emphasis on making the box amazing, because they can add in the skins for World 2 and 3 updates without taking up too many resources once the SAB is mostly done.

Assuming Josh is going to be able to do the skins, I don’t want to spread a rumor that it’s confirmed or anything but it does seem likely.

The point of the story, however, being that as a small team working on something that can hardly use existing art assets or music, need I go on. They had to make choices, and if they get to continue working on this… then the selection of skins are more than likely to be completed.

Who chose which skins to do now and which to leave to the (at the point of decision making) uncertain future of this content type and why is another discussion entirely. But right now it seems the more player support the more than likely this thing will live on… since it is not like it is in any way strictly thematically tied to the month of April, so they can bring it back whenever.

I sure hope they see how much everyone loves it and either keep it around longer or bring it back frequently! If they were waiting to see if it was worth spending resources on the rest of the weapon skins, then heck yes it is!

Why don’t you worry about getting 50 Bauble Bubbles first and your 1g and then you can worry about skins. I played most of today, just exploring and having fun and I got a decent amount of Bauble Bubbles… Hey if you get a skin from a chest (very rare) you can sell it on the TP for upwards of 20-60g depending on what skin you grab. Not to mention I heard that the Josh guy is working on more stuff for the SAB “this week” were his own words…probably meaning that his team and him are working on all sorts of things while simultaneously trying to help us out here. Which is freaking ridiculous. I’m literally throwing as much money as I can at the screen. This might not be the “ultimate fix” the “class balance” or the “endgame content” everyone has been asking or waiting for. But I can say from my point of view it’s the most fun I’ve had in a game in a very long time.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. <3
