Guild Wars 2

Wanted to throw this out there again, I know I’ve seen it a few times before. From my understanding, arenanet has always had the image in mind that once a player hits 80, it’d be up to them to set their toons apart by making them unique and allowing them to mix and match gear and gear skins. However, I do believe much more of these need to be added.

In my opinion, I think players would rather see a patch containing lets say 200 new types of gear skins or 100 new town clothes. Or add weapon auras and colors similar to what path of exile does with their cosmetics. Most gear that you see running around in the game are pretty well known, like the cof rewards helmet, or the light nightmare pieces. But I think it’d just be pretty cool if new gear/skins were added and you go out and happen to kill a Moa, and boom! New rare helmet skin. Just add them to world drops, or chest drops.

I have 2 level 80 toons, and I have them both pretty much geared out to how I want them (restricted by gold of course) but I feel like there needs to just be more cosmetics added to this game. And it doesn’t even have to be all lvl 80 gear. I get excited for every patch, but it seems to only to result in other additions such as bland living story stuff, more backpack items, and t shirts??. I dunno, just my two cents :P so please arenanet, new gear and gear skins!

But this is clearly a suggestion

They could start buy letting us give them money for the skins we want, because they are not getting another dime from me as long as the skins remain under RNG.

THIS POST. AMEN. +1 VOTE.

I totally agree with this!

I’m all for lateral/cosmetic progression, but i feel the variety of armor/weapon skins is very lacking. The dungeon sets are nice and all ( don’t like most of them though :P ), but those dungeons have been there since launch. Fractals only introduced some weapons and the backpiece, but i don’t go for those because they are tied to rng, while dungeon sets have the system i like wich is badges, getting exactly the pieces you want and you can preview the items.

We need more objectives to achieve, we were told that progression would be cosmetic but we need much more variety, let the game shine as it should!
And please, don’t tie new skins to rng. Since karma is the main currency in PvE along gold, make all that karma we have useful and let us buy nice skins with it.

I dont even want to give them money at this point lol. I love the game that they have put together, and all the features and wvw. The gem store has so much stuff that people just flat out dont want or desire. And the ones that do, want to be unique and settle on purchasing a Charr or Quaggan backpack lol. But ive already invested money in salvage kits, a few keys (early in game), bank slots, and for leveling alts. But seriously i can go out and level in a zone, but i know I’m not going to get anything at it. Let alone have a decent change of obtaining something useful. Whites-Blues salvage, Greens-Mystic toilet, everything else-trading post. If something like this was added and the ability to get special gear or weapons could come from anywhere or any mob in the game, I just might look forward to go looking around, exploring, and killing mobs and doing events. But as of now there is no reason (I wont even start with the daily).

Please if anyone else agrees with this, say so here! The Devs need to know that what we’re looking for and I truly think alot of people are looking for something similar to this. I mean if this game had as much variety as Path of Exile or other MMOs with their varied looking gear, I would enjoy doing just normal things much more. The only thing keeping me playing this game right now, and staying away from the grind, is WvW.

If all they did in the June patch is only add 200 new skins over the 3 armor types I would still consider it the best patch so far.

There is a lot of skins in the game as is if you cant mix up the skins now with out coming out unique i think you may need more imagination. They did add in the jetpack that may not be imaginative but its very unique.

I’m more after being able to add visual effects to armor, than more skins themselves.

Something like an Aura, as you mentioned, would be ideal. I’d happily pay £10 to have my Mesmer exude an orange aura.

That a good ideal. It would be nice if they would add in attachments to weapons to give them more effects such as setting them on fire etc.. I want my ice weapon set on fire! It just cant comply kill the class look is all. You do not want a Mesmer becoming blue giving the look of a guardian fooling ppl what class your playing.

As for effects of weapons, they should remain the same. That is what some of the expensive mystic forge weapons & Legendaries are for. The effects. If I could get those effects on a level 3 Sword, Legendaries/Things like Volcanus would be pointless.

I don’t think colours should represent what profession someone plays. If I HAD to make my Mesmer purple, I wouldn’t play her, or the game for that matter as I like the freedom.

Hmmm then if Legendaries are that big if they add in Legendarie armor these effect may get in the way too.
The thing about class recognition is the same reason why we cant have heavy armor on a Mesmer or light on a War these cant be used for tricking ppl into what class your playing.

Is that the reason why I can’t have light armor on my warrior, so other people can tell that I’m a warrior? How bout they just put a little icon on my avatar thing when they target me to see what profession I am and lemme transmute my armor with med and light armor. Ill even pay for a special stone that’ll let me cross transmute different armor types that cost 300 gems each

I’m sorry but if you can’t tell a class by what skills they are using you don’t deserve to win. Armor should have no bearing on your awareness.

There are always going to be new players in these things but they will get frustrated very fast if you start to fight some one with light armor only to find that it was heavy but made to look like light. Its a level of deception for the players to explore more then a true tactic. Ppl will be full nude and no weapons in there hands if they could just to make sure the other person has no idea what class they are or what ability they are going to use.

I would love a purely cosmetic patch, oh yes!
More skins !0!

I would like to change the color of my mesmer skills, well I do not like the color purple for his skills, if he had a iten to change the color of his skills, to black or red or any other color, I’d buy for sure
Another thing I would see was the gemstore skins for pets ranger and necromancer, a skin for turning black wolf?
