Guild Wars 2

I really miss the old guild wars one skins in the game, like Bone Dragon staff and obsidian edge and all that sort of skins. It would be so cool to bring some more gw1 aspects like those skins into gw2 cause imo gw2 has alot of flaws because it wants to stand out too much at being an ‘unique’ game. Bring back the good stuff from gw1 into this game and it will be so much better. What I also think this game lacks is the possibility to dye your weapons like in guild wars one, not only will this increase character customization to be different but also the feeling of looking epic! I hope I’m not the only one thinking this way. Also bring back guild capes!

Agreed!!! I’d love to see some of the GW skins brought into GW2. I’m currently wearing my Heritage medium skin on armor because I don’t like ANY of the Medium skins for my ranger. My Guardian is also wearing his Heritage skins because it’s the best looking Heavy skin.

I’d like to see them give us the ability to wear the GW skins that we point in our HoM if they add some of those skins to the game. Love to wear my Elite Luxon Ranger gear again.

Ah yeah I’d really like to see some more gw1 armor skins too, elite kurzick black and white <3

I completely agree, especially about the possibility to dye weapons. Too many times i have found myself ranting that a given weapon skin i like doesnt match my color scheme.. I’d like to see this implemented to allow for more variety.

Also bring chaos gloves back please :>

yes! this must be made. Many of the weapons with glow effects are set on a specific color which makes it a bit hard to match your armor to it. You have to dye your armor in the same color scheme. xD It would be awesome if he had the option of dying the entire weapon or just parts of it. I can see how it conflicts with legendaries but you could make just the handles or smaller parts of it dyable. it would be a great way to customize your look further. im really hoping for this!!!! please arenanet.

As much as I want Arena-net to implement dye-able weapons, I really don’t think they will. : /

They have no choice

IMO some of the best armor skins in GW2 are some of those in the gem store, the GW1 remakes.

Medium women’s armor is PLAGUED with coats… why is EVERYTHING some sort of a trench coat (ONLY exception is pvp leather)? Light female armor is nothing but skirts? At least heavy armor at least has some of the staples you expect, but isn’t as varied as what GW1 had.

As such, I gotta agree, MORE GW1 throwbacks would be very welcome additions. My picks for this (for the women):
Light – Tyrian Elementalist or Elite Rogue Mesmer
Medium – Vabbian Assassin (Zenmai edition), Asuran Assassin, or Drakescale Ranger
Heavy – Kurzick (NOT Elite) Warrior, Elite Sunspear, or Elite Canthan Warrior

The Krytan armor looks amazing in GW2, so I can imagine some of those listed above would be equally amazing in GW2.

I agree with the weapon coloring idea. Maybe they should make it so we can customize the weapons. Like, have recipes that make different style banding, that can be colored with dyes… Or have artificers make polishes that can be applied… Just some thoughts.

I think the best is to have it the same as guild wars 1 had, just make every weapon dyeable but like certain end game skins only a small area like the color of the haft or something like that so that the real ‘skin’ doesnt go lost with dye-ing it

Well, in the case of losing the real skin just implement ‘polish removers’.. I didn’t play GW1 so I am unfamiliar with the crafting/dying system. I just dislike the idea of using Dye because… dying wood or metal rather than fabric doesn’t seem right, that’s why I said polish.

But what do you mean by polishing ?

Also, I really really want to get the guild capes back! they were such a nice feature to your guild in guild wars 1 and imo it would fit well in gw2 too

Another pretty please for this idea! Specifically the weapon dyeing part (though I would love more GW1 skins as well).

Especially for sylvari, weapon dyeing is aesthetically important bc the sylvari come in so many colors. A sylvari w/ black skin, white hair and red glow, for example, is going to clash a LOT more with a kudzu bow (which is green/pink/yellow) than, say… a human w/ tan skin, blonde hair and green eyes would clash with it.

I guess technically now that the total makeover kit is out, we could change our sylvari characters to match the color schemes of the weapons we want. But that costs money, and I think most players like their sylvari characters in the colors they already have.

ANet, please implement weapon dyeing like in GW1!

I also wish there were more varied weapon skins. I think it would be cool as part of either crafting or events like Lost Shores to get really cool looking weapons from 1 like the Charr sword from the BMP or the Elemental Sword.

being able to dye weapons would be amazing, i would finally have a gs that would match my armor and colour

I loved Guild Capes in GW. Much better than the Guild Armor/Weapons in GW2. Got Guild Armor on my ranger and now wish I hadn’t. Ugly as hell and a waste of gold. Also like the feature of being able to turn off the guild cape when not in a town or city.

I wonder if any Anet dev’s have any confirmation about any of these things. Anyone knows perhaps?

I want this as my guild cape.

I want this one .
It would be epic.

The problem with weapon dye is that in some places anet have been lazy and used the same weapon just a different colour, main example is CM exp and human T3. Same item but T3 is silver, CM is gold. But i would like to see new armor skins add to the game, GW1 or not, GW2 is lacking in armor/weapon skins. But i’m happy with my T3 for now as it’s the only nice armor in the game imo

I agree with you EliteZ but the reason why I mentioned gw1 stuff is simply because the skins were way better. My point in this suggestion was to add more skins and features and in this case gw1 skins cause they’re better at least. But yeah more skins please

Must bring chaos gloves and destoyer gloves, I am glad that weapons made it into the game, but gloves is a must! Also, please have more skimpy female armor =p I think there is plenty of conservative armor in game. In addition we need better staff skins, so badly!

+1

I would like to see ALL gw1 skins as purchases via badges of honor/laurels/karma/gems. If I could only choose one update though, the only thing I want for Christmas is dyeable weapons. I want to colour my Voltaic Spear! I mean “Al’ir’aska” :-P

Also some animated exotic/unique dyes would be epic too, like ones which can make your armour transparenty and ghost-like, like the spirit weapons on the Guardian, so you could literally look like ghost/spirit. And a chaos dye for a glowy/luminescent look. Just ideas anyway.
