Guild Wars 2

Anyone else agree that 90% of weapon skins are quire boring? For every set of weapons the majority of them don’t have any flash or flair to them and the ones that do cost an insane amount of money.

This wouldn’t be an issue to me if the armor sets weren’t so much cooler than the weapons. They seem to have more detail and you can dye them in all sorts of colors for unikittenfects. Even cheap armor sets look great while only the most expensive of weapons do.

Obviously armor sets are more pronounced due to their size on the charter, but there just seems to be a lot more thought put into them.

I know that when you zoom in heavily on weapons you can see some intricate details, but this is not something that happens too often. I think they should developed skins that are more interesting and maybe have some type of customization. It would be awesome to change the type of metal from say steel to copper or gold or mithril while still maintaining the weapons skin structure. The same could be said for the wood with different types and different stains. Also, maybe different types of “glowy” effects could be crafted with rare materials and added to any weapon.

What do you guys think?

I like the current weapons just fine, personally. I’m a “less is more” kind of guy, though, so thats just me.

But the fact that its subjective is a bit of a problem. Whats boring for you is good for me, and some of the stuff you’re suggesting (like customizable “glowy effects”) would be too over-the-top in my opinion.

I do like the idea of changing the metal type and such, though. Even though that kind of exists with weapon crafting (something like mythril is a different color than iron), but only for the basic weapon skin. Having it expanded to other types of weapons would be nice.

Well it is all about everyone’s personal preference. I just think that weapons aren’t near as beautiful as armors in most cases and have very little customization if any.

As for the glowing effects I just thought it would be cool to get a corrupted or destroyers charm or something to give said effects to any weapon.
