Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone not sure if this was thought up before yet or even mentioned before, but I thought up of some cool holiday (christmas) elite skill skins that would go perfect for the season.

Warrior: Battle Standard - Instead of summoning the plain old banner, you’d summon a christmas tree you could pick up and carry around with you (or it could be a candy cane!)

Mesmer: Moa Morph - Instead of turning people into a moa bird (although it’s fun) you’d turn them into a reindeer or a mini santa clause (or an elf), that could have skills that throw presents instead of the usual moa skills

Theif: Thieves guild – Have the 2 thieves that are summoned have elf costumes? or just a plain old santa hat and instead of the guns 1 of them uses it could be candy canes (or they could be nutcrackers)

Ranger: Entangle - instead of the boring old entangling roots, it could be changed into christmas wreaths or christmas lights that wrap around your enemy and light up.

Necromancer: Lich Form - instead of the weird ghost thingy that apparently can do the carlton dance? it could be the ghost of christmas future. (you can google it if you don’t know what it looks like but it looks pretty awesome and would fit well)

Engineer: Supply Crate - the medikits could be christmas presents, and the turrets could be stationary gingerbread mans that shoot from a mini candy cane.

Guardian: Tome of Courage - it could be a christmas book (for carols) and each skill you use would play a beautiful melodic sound and have christmas effects with it)

Elementalist: Torando - could perhaps be a snow storm, and the skills would have icy effects to them, or Glyph of Elementals – could summon a yeti based on your current attunements (not too sure:))

Random Add on (Non-Elite): Have immobilization skills be christmas lights instead of the bolas and it wraps around your opponent)

Well that’s all I can think of, if anyone wants to add on to these that’d be great =) would be awesome to see maybe some of these or perhaps, all of these around christmas time (you could sell them in the gem store)

I am a warrior and I totally support being able to smack people around with a christmas tree!

I like these ideas! But instead of Moa morph turning people into a reindeer, how about a Jingle Moa?

Yay! any fun holiday things are always awesome.

In addition, there should be massive snowball fights held throughout all the major cities.

ooh, the jingle moa is a nice idea also =) and yes i agree massive snowball fights XD

I love these ideas. Keep them coming!

Not sure how it might be handled graphically or on the programming end, but sledding and skiing would be cool also, not to mention the hilarity that could ensue from toboggan races … granted, not necessarily holiday-esque, but at least seasonal …

the toboggan races sounds fun X)

would anyone like to add on to the list/suggestion/ideas

I like these suggestions, I just have one one concern with this:

Shift Focus.9083:

Necromancer: Lich Form - instead of the weird ghost thingy that apparently can do the carlton dance? it could be the ghost of christmas future. (you can google it if you don’t know what it looks like but it looks pretty awesome and would fit well)

It would mean a holiday gag version is cooler and more menacing than the regular version.

As amazing as these ideas are, I’m sure there’d be some form of complaint regarding religion and how it doesn’t cater for all religions

None of those are a religious thing, the christmas tree is used in SEVERAL religions (actually originating in a pagan one), the only people that’d be butt hurt are the ones who are ill informed and would get butt hurt by the mere mentioning of christmas.

@OP I absolutely LOVE the idea, especially that i get to entangle people in lights!! Those things are freaking annoying IRL and they’ll be annoying IG too!!

yeah i’d love to throw christmas lights on people too XD, also yes the necro one would probably be cooler than the original, but all the reason to get it^^
