Guild Wars 2

the daggers (swords???) skins that new krait hold, will they be available for players? i found them sick

They ARE available for players already. Tier 3 cultural Sylvari weapons found in the Grove for 63k karma each. Have fun.

Wrong, these are new skins.

how do you get them?

I would guess they’ll be in bought with tickets from Black Lion Chests once ToN goes live.

But with RNG, good luck!

I just went to the release page for Tower and Madness and looted the third screenshot there.

Here is one screen of the new skin.

They let those aetherized nightmare weapons be straight up drops instead of RNG, these might fall into the same category. It will depend on how permanent the tower is probably.

I will have Krait lightsabers before it’s all said and done. :p

New dungeons = new tokens hopefully

If they add a new dungeon, hopefully they will become available. But in my opinion, if they do happen to become available for players, they ought to be bought through dungeon tokens, not BL claim tickets.

If they’re a reward for doing the content, then why are they not listed as rewards on the release page?

On the other hand, what ARE the rewards for doing the content anyways? It surely can’t be just a healing skill because, assuming this is permenant content (and it seems to be because they seemed to have put a ton of effort into the design), if you just simply get the skill for completing the ‘dungeon’, there’s no incentive to repeat it.

I very much doubt there will be a new dungeon. Maybe an instance with a chance for those skins as drops, but tokens just seem very unlikely, as that would also mean a desire for new armor. I don’t think anet really likes designing new armor anymore, as we’ve been given lots of shoulders/gloves/helmets but not really sets, other than the new ascended armor set that’s been linked around.

I think we havn’t got any new armour because designing them takes longer than the release schedule allows. They did say they’re also working on bigger projects in the background, it’s unlikely, but this could be one of those bigger projects. The setup to it was more elaborate than other LS updates in the past.

You do make some very good points, designing armors does take quite a bit of time, and you never know what their bigger projects could be. I guess we’ll find out though.

as most (“most” as in “nearly all”) of the new skins were added through blc-rng, it’s highly probable, that any new skins will be added this way, too. i wouldn’t expect anything else.

But then again, what do we actually get for doing this content. It looks like its going to be perm, because otherwise we got a skill which is only temporarily available..which would be silly to say the least.

In a MMO, you don’t design content outside of quests which is only worthwhile doing once.
