Guild Wars 2

As topic stated, can the new nightmare skins be purchased with the current TA tokens, or would it be a new type of token only given from completion of new path in TA?

Really curious.
If my first assumption is true, I would start working on TA tokens now :P

from reading the notces so far it looks like drops and not possible to buy

I really hope we can buy them with Tokens. I’d like to know I was for sure working towards those skins, rather than gambling with my time. I love the new skin btw.

The answer is: NOPE!

See….those are drops, not purchases. So you’ll either have to be lucky for the rare drop, OR you’ll have to purchase off of the Trading Post (assuming their BOE instead of BOP).

I suspect they are trying to give players a reason to kill trash mobs as well as implement something similair to fractal weapons but for other dungeons.

Yeah, I’m expecting quite a few colour shifted weapons in the dungeon updates. I guess that means that dyeing weapons is (un)officially never going to happen.

I’m hoping that they do this to other dungeons in the future. And more – make the explorables all lvl 80 (makes it easier to balance as “end game content”), give them unique dungeon-themed exotic drops (even if it’s just a recoloring – oh how I would love some of the AC weapons that are permanently ghostly), and new Ascended versions from more work in the dungeon.

Maybe add a new tab on the vendors for Ascended weapons that you need a number of the “Offerings” (e.g., Offering of Thorns of Thorns ) to buy them. Though for such to happen the “easy runs” like CoF would need to become a bit harder – with AC and the like, bringing up to lvl 80 may do the trick, since the downscaling as it is is rather… unbalanced.

If you think about it, at least three weapon sets were already “dyed variants” – Dark Asura from Sorrow’s Furnace is just a red tier 1 asura cultural weapons; Inquest weapons from CoE was just red Mystic weapons; and Golden weapons from Caudecus’ Manor was just gold human tier 3 cultural weapons.

Many of the champion exotics is the same – recoloring of other exotics.

So it’s not surprising at all that they add more recolorings of weapons.
