Guild Wars 2

So my guildies and I were discussing an item similar to the Poly-luminescent Undulating Refractors (black, orange, or green) that generates a mist effect that is very similar to the effect on the fractal weapons. It would cause little clouds of mist to surround your body and generate that “trail” effect when you move, also similar to the weapons. It could be a reward for fractal completion or some such thing.

I’m thinking that, on the very slim chance this idea actually catches on with Arenanet, it’ll probably be locked behind heavy RNG like the mythical Fractal Tonic. What do you guys think?

Also, I’m not aware if this suggestion or a related topic already exists on the forums. If so, would someone be able to kindly link the post(s) please? Thanks.

I wouldn’t mind this so long as it’s not on a bloody celestial jewel that you couldn’t pay me to use. If they do this it should be account bound and a feature of an ascended ring that you can select the stats on.

Even if it is a RNG reward, and not an earned thing (ex – Mystic forge a ring + item that is only available for X amount of fractal relics + Pristine Fractal Relics + required FotM level 50[or more if they up it] to make it) I agree!
More Rewards = More Reason
There is no reason to not add this.

Make it an infusion like the + 5 AR/ +5 stat infusions. Win/Win

Also, although this would be rad, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. There’s always a reason not to do something.

Everything takes time and money.

Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s keep a positive mind. None of this pessimistic nonsense. :P I just want that mist effect on my armor so bad. >.<

I would love something like this…but only if not heavily RNG, because otherwise either they add it or not it’ll most likely be the same for me.. ._.

…as long as its not a jewel that you can only use on exotic or worse gear (…since you know… fractals needs ascended) it sounds nifty.

as long as its power infusion

just an agony infusion would be fine, the power on the infusion is so meaningless ><

Buy the howler.

While this suggestion does make sense somewhat, the effect that I’m suggesting is rather different from the fog effect that Howler generates. If you’ve ever previewed (or have) any of the fractal weapons, you might notice how different their effects are from Howler’s fog effect. There are little clouds of bright mist that leave a trailing effect when you move or swing the weapon as opposed to Howler’s dull gray fog.

EDIT: Also, Howler is a warhorn weapon that isn’t able to be used by every class. Whereas an upgrade component to an accessory or armor piece of some sort can be used by any class.

Such a thick and visible effect would probably look strange on a character, and would interact poorly with legendary animations. It would also completely cover up fainter auras. I may support some kind of “upgrade” to be put on regular fractal skins, though. A more visible trail…

or just feets/hands
