Guild Wars 2

Not sure if many people would be interested but i think having a option (via Gemstore if needed) to change the appearance of skills would be SO cool. I dont mean change the skills or anything but allow you to change what they look like..

Examples:

Mesmer Shatters, allow to change the colour and the bird when they shatter, and Scepter/staff auto attacks to change the appearance of the orb as well as the colour

Bow users could get the option to change what the bow arrow attack looks like, like flaming arrows and such

of course this would have NO tactical/game changing changes just allows tus to still feel unique even when running the same weapons as others and seeing 2 staff users having 2 different appearances when attacking would be very cool

I feel special skill animations should remain reserved for Legendaries. And no, I do not have a Legendary.

Other then the bow which fires the horses or some stupid crap, do ALL the legendary (most of which are AWFUL!) have special attack appearances for skills? and if so, Auto attack only or EVERY skill on the bar?

Dependes on skill and weapon. Bows have special arrows for all skills except for ranger’s “Barrage” and warrior’s faming arrows. Greatswords are applied to projectiles and stuff that yo throw, as well as other legendaies do, and of course have tail. Dagger’s work as greatswords so do axes. Swords has just a tail. Staff, nothing. Hammer armour becomes covered in silver and also leaves a tail. Spear has sharks on projectiles and shark is eating a guy on crit hit. Trident, NO THING just aura. Scpeter nothing, shield turns pages on attack, focus just nothing. Horn, wolf and snake move. Torch, head moves and breathes fire.

Thats no to bad then, I just hope they add some GOOD legionaries. I am not a 5 year old girl so most of the Legionaries look stupid to me. Maybe add some more GROWN up ones? IE – No stupid horses, clouds or anything else like that. The great sword and Hammer oh and the Shield are examples of the ones that look GOOD and grown up.

I personally can’t see how clouds and planets are childish o.O

OT:

I wouldn’t say have the skill animations in the Store.

Have skill animations from certain bosses.

For example, killing Adelburn with a certain condition met (say, interrupting a specific attack) would give Warriors the chance to change ‘Final Thrust’ to ’Adelburn’s Rage’, where the attack movement would stay the same, but would cover the strike in Foefire.

Mmmmm, now that is a VERY interesting idea. I think that would make it very interesting and maybe get more people doing content. Make it a real challenge. I would say something alone the lines of:

Interrupt the skill 5 times and Kill him without taking any damage from that skill being Level 1 of say 5 levels, each one getting tougher and tougher involving the same fight after completing it you get a chest that contains a “skin” that is Soul/Account bound (but only useable on the class you are – example “Adelburn’s Rage Skin” would only be useable on Warriors

Not sure if this would be possible but make it so that EVERY class has one of these “Challenges” for a skill “skin” The problem with this, what weapons and what skills would be involved? I highly doubt it would be possible for EVERY weapon and EVERY weapon for EVERY class. Maybe make it 1-2 skills on the most used weapons?
