Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand why you can get the same skin twice?
A friend of mine got his second sword today and his second staff a few days ago.

Skins are rare enough to come by as it is, we shouldn’t get the same skin twice.

Anet ever mentioned anything about this? I just can’t think of a logical explanation for this.

Pretty simple. As with most MMOs they believe that people enjoy gambling. So they use the random system, where it’s just a roll of the dice and the corresponding item in the loot table is given to you. It’s stupid, there’s a reason most people prefer to actually get a job rather than sitting in a casino and gambling for a living, consistency and choice is quite nice. But, games never seem to understand this and continue to throw the RNG system for rewards at us as if we enjoy it.

Gambling is fun to some extent… After a quick google search I found out that you have 0.5% chance to get the skin you want, that’s just cruel. I always thought getting a skin increases your chance to get the one you want but I guess I’ve been hoping for too much. Been farming fractals for 2 years and still no dagger, I guess I’ll have to wait for the fractal weapons box update. If that’s ever coming

Before the Wardrobe system existed, there was a point to it (putting the same fractal weapon on two of your characters, or dual wielding).

Now its just trolling us.

They believe, Jerus, because it’s true, many many people enjoy gambling.

I agree with interloper. Now when I get a 2nd skin it just saves me a transmutation stone. I’ve gotten multiple hammers, shields, daggers, axes, and a few others… I think I have a shield and dagger skins sitting in my bank right now.

I know that back in the day there was a point, but I expected a change when they introduced the wardrobe. It only makes sense (in my opinion).

Saving a transmutation stone doesn’t justify that :X

I don’t think any dev is willing to give an answer on whether they’re thinking about any fractal related stuff after HoT? Or they could come with HoT, even better

Just having that weapon box will encourage more players to start doing fractals or return to doing them. I personally know a few guys who quit doing fractals because the chance to get a skin is so low and the gold/time reward is so low.

I just want to know if they’re still thinking about fractals :/

Because it was poorly thought out and executed for a time before wardrobes.

The real question is: Will they actually deliver on their promise this time?

Turns out they are and the updates are coming with HoT.

God (aka Colin) heard your prayers fam

FINALLY!
I’m so happy right now:) Was having doubts about buying HoT, now I’m definitely buying it!
