New Weapons, Outfit, and Mail Carrier in the Gem Store!
by Evon Gnashblade on February 10, 2015" What a surprise….tuesday.

My guess? Today is release date, a tuesday, considering it’s been stuck with other outfits/finisher and the weapons ect ect, worst case? little delayed with it being max next tuesday, already got my gems ready.

Been very excited to get my hands on it for a while!
Hopefully our dev overlords have been lurking topics in regards to the outfit and will release it later today!

So do I, even got a character ready :P my future rev, but for now will be either a guardian or warrior, just had to reserve the name though, “Bálthazàr”

Would have preferred no accented letters but the chances of me getting that name that hadn’t been taken within like the first 12 seconds of launch…..well put it this way, i’d be more likely to have won the lottery 12 times in 1 day and struck by lightning 72 times on the same day, it works though and I can tolerate the accented letters

Well I didn’t go as far as reserving the Balth name, but accented letters or not … Still a good shout on your end! I had to put an accented letter on my toon ‘Annatar’ hence it was already taken about 2 years ago. But oh well … At least I have the name I desire!

I just really, really, really hope our dev overlords will release the outfit today. Regardless of it being an armor skin or outfit, it still is an awesome one to have! Surely they WILL bank on it as everyone and their mother will buy it! So they really should not ignore these posts nor postpone the release of it any further. Make it happen ANet!

As nice and detailed as the Balthazar outfit is, I still won’t buy it simply because you can’t mix and match outfit pieces. This means that as good looking as the outfit is, you’re going to have hundreds of players using it and all looking identical, which kinda makes it dull.

Yes, everyone and their mother will buy it. However … Just to be safe I will purchase it now as ANet may rethink how they will let us handle outfits in the future. At least then I already have it IF they would ever change the mechanic once again. Would be cool if they would but … Eh … Meh … Time will tell!

You can use that argument for everything.

The cultural armours are not special, because so many people have them.
The ascended items are not special, because so many people have them.

People will only use this because it is the new shiny. In two months hardly anyone will use it.

Remember the Dr. Octopus tentacle backpiece, or the holographic wings? No one use them anyomre.

I’d bank on it being today, but never know any delays, while I do wish they released individual pieces, I am not bothered, I’d more than likely just use the set anyway.

I bought the zodiac set a while back as well, and that adds individual pieces, and I have seen people use just pieces and it does not look good at all IMO, I prefer the entire set or nothing at all on some sets, but the majority of my characters use mix/match armour sets

As for the person who commented about everyone using it, people made that argument about the black wings, and while on the first day or 2 EVERYONE used it, it died down and rarely see anyone use it now.

I want it for it’s looks and the nostalgia of gw1, my dervish used that form a lot.

I truly hope you’re right and there will be no delays. Been refreshing the main page of the website for days! ><!

Really? People have been using parts of the zodiac armor individually? I cannot see that working, then again, whatever floats their boat I guess …

I missed out on the black wings. I would have bought it but I got lazy and didn’t log in the day it was released. Oh well …

It would be awesome if we could mix and match the Balth outfit. However I am not bothered if we could not. Perhaps in the future but it would still not change my mind. I like the outfit the way it is!

But you’re right, in a few the hype of this outfit is over and people will barely use it. Though … I for one would welcome the outfit and will continue to use it on my warr and rev!

A friend who mains a ranger uses the body and legs, and uses different gloves, boots and helmet along with that scarf, to me a blue body with a normal head doesn’t look good….

I’ve seen others just use the body as well…

I have a feeling I will only use it on my future rev(who will quickly become my main proffesion based on what I have seen) and potentially my mesmer, just no helmet so I can still see her epicly cute face, since there isn’t many armour sets that look good on a charr I actually like how the “cape” is animated to move with the tail and not just clipped through like every other outfit my charr has.

Even so, I may use on others but I do really want it….I just need some weapons to go with it, shame the volcanus costs so much!!, since staff is pretty much confirmed on a revenant as a melee weapon, maybe my primordus staff will suit it, along with some more primordus weapons to fill the others slots….kinda want a norn for their height might look more “god of war” type feel but humans have the cultural skill to summon his hounds for more roleplaying purposes

Lol, confirming using parts of the Zodiac set makes your toon look like a smurf hybrid :P.

Yea, the outfit looks pretty neat on almost every class/race/gender. Totally fits on a warr, guard and a rev. Looks a little ‘thin’ on a female but it doesn’t change the fact the outfit is just awesome sauce …

Yea, I think the rev will quickly become one of my main toons for WvW. Right now my main for PvE is my warr and my necro/guard are for WvW. Though … I do have a soft spot for my mesmer, thief and ele.

As for weapons. I can see the fused weaponset working with it but costs like an arm and a leg to get a hold of. Volcanus however is not too expensive but still a lot of gold for a casual player. However, there is no other weapon that matches the look of the Volcanus to complete a weaponset. So I am kinda leaning towards the fused weaponset … Might take me a couple of years to grind the 3 weapons I want, as I already have the GS, but oh well … It’s another goal on my ‘to-do’ list.

Your comparison is a bit off, because unlike outfits, I can mix and match other armour types, like cultural armour, with parts from different sets to create a unique look. I have yet to see another guardian that looks like mine does and it’s because I managed to mix armour up to create a unique look that matches the theme I wanted for my guardian.

Right now, with outfits it just feels like Anet is creating our character themes for us without giving us any room to play with or alter those themes, whereas with armour we can at least, to some degree, come up with something different and unique.

You should see it on asura…little blue alien….every time i see it I chuckle and the song from Eiffel 65 plays in my head, “I’m blue”

I am not the richest player, and I mainly do pvp now, I’ve never done wvw, my luck is terrible when it comes to drops :S, think I might just settle for volcanus for a long term goal….464 gold….yeah…I’ve not had more than 100g at any one point lol, primordus will do as a poor mans balthazar weapons :P

I had a necro…I deleted so I could actually make this character in preperation, no idea if hot will give us a free character slot as per tradition, so better safe than sorry, and I’d rather reserve the name beforehand.

I do a lot of pvp so skins of armour and weapons are a priority to me, i love making my characters really stand out, or mimic themes, like my war is modeled after achilles, and I spend tons of different skins that I like

LOL! Just for a laugh imma check that Asura out when I get home.

Yea PvP is currently where it’s at the moment for me too. WvW it’s lag on T1 has proven to be terribad when it comes down to huge brawls. It wasn’t this bad a few weeks ago, there was some but it was OK. Now? Eh … Meh … Skills don’t respond on crucial moments and you’ll simply die in a glorious fire and you can’t do much about it. It’s not as bad as TIDI in Eve Online but eh … Just enough to set it aside for a while. So I’m hoping this will be resolved as WvW is my number 1 gamemode.

Yea, you and me both. Being rich in this game requires you to grind a lot or play the market like crazy. I’m not into that nor will I ever be. So settling with a longterm goal is good enough as it gives you something to look forward to. Volcanus is a good choice, it really is, just wish they had a complete weaponset that matches it. I’d be saving for that instead of the fused weaponset …

What I wish they would do with outfits, is to do what they did with the Lich outfit.

That outfit changes your legs to charr legs, no matter what race you are.
It makes it the best set in my opinion, because it’s unique in that way.

They should do that for other outfits. Kind of like a race change. You use this outfit, and you will be a norn. Then use this to be an asura.

I would empty my wallet for that.

I played EVE for a while, was fun but too expensive for my tastes for a long term mmo, I always lag on any game at really annoying times, rarely do i have perfect connection, why I don’t like taking risks in games that there is consequences for.

Yea… As I said, terrible drops, not had a pre, ever, and rarely any exotics outside of pvp, I seem to be rather lucky with ascended, got quite a few rings and armour peices/weapon box drops while on my route to rank 80, more than I’d have ever gotten from pve and saving for materials, my bank is essentially full of ascended things I’ve reserved for my future revenant to inherit.

Oh well, if I can make my character look epic on a budget I will, I am not a huge fan of fused weapons, I dislike the “chains” that seem to decorate it, I’d prefer using a more “natural” fire/lava weapon but that is just personal ascetic choice :P

I’ve played Eve Online for 10 years and was thrilled about the ‘risk vs reward’ aspect of the game. Though, I was more into the social interaction and working together as a team part. But then things changed, you get married, you get a kid and all that jazz and suddenly the time you’re able to devote to game(s)/hobby(s)/friend(s) rapidly changes.

Well I had a Dusk drop on me once before I took a break from GW2. Sold it, bought a fused GS and some account upgrades (char and bank slots mostly). But other than that. I can count on two hands how much exotic/ascended drops I had. Maybe it’s because I don’t grind as often? I don’t lay enough DPS? I’m not the one to get something ‘good’ in the rotation at that given time? Who knows? Essentially I’m in the game for being able to chillax on comms with people I know and have something to do when my wife and daughter are sleeping.

Yea I’m a budget guy myself, always looking into that cheap alternative to find something that’ll make my toons like good and be geared up for either WvW or dungeons. The fused weapons I’m working towards will take ages, more than likely I will not even get to that point, lol. But it gives something to work towards, you know?

Oh well, if I can make my character look epic on a budget I will, I am not a huge fan of fused weapons, I dislike the “chains” that seem to decorate it, I’d prefer using a more “natural” fire/lava weapon but that is just personal ascetic choice :P

I’ve played Eve Online for 10 years and was thrilled about the ‘risk vs reward’ aspect of the game. Though, I was more into the social interaction and working together as a team part. But then things changed, you get married, you get a kid and all that jazz and suddenly the time you’re able to devote to game(s)/hobby(s)/friend(s) rapidly changes.

Well I had a Dusk drop on me once before I took a break from GW2. Sold it, bought a fused GS and some account upgrades (char and bank slots mostly). But other than that. I can count on two hands how much exotic/ascended drops I had. Maybe it’s because I don’t grind as often? I don’t lay enough DPS? I’m not the one to get something ‘good’ in the rotation at that given time? Who knows? Essentially I’m in the game for being able to chillax on comms with people I know and have something to do when my wife and daughter are sleeping.

Yea I’m a budget guy myself, always looking into that cheap alternative to find something that’ll make my toons like good and be geared up for either WvW or dungeons. The fused weapons I’m working towards will take ages, more than likely I will not even get to that point, lol. But it gives something to work towards, you know?

I try to save for gear or upgrades or something, and I tend to give up and sell the materials because I need the money, tried countless times now to save for a legendary, and I make no progress, least enough gems for an outfit is reachable, being under 100g, pvp earns a decent income as well, will probably do it more when the outfit comes out and show it off :P

And with HoT coming out and giving extra ways to work towards a pre, it might give me more incentive to work on a legendary…who knows…maybe juggernaut will look good on balth set

… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it just got released \o/

Have my gems, Anet, have my gems…

Brace yourself the black winged Balthazars are coming.

Who would of known reusing gw1 skins would be so popular ; 3

we knew before the game was released, it’s Anet’s stubbornness

Dwayna outfit. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! Balth outfit is looking awesome~

Loggin in for glory.

Think maybe you could let us change the Glow color?

If only it was an armor, what a waste of great design.

Uh, guys?

The dye channels are a bit odd, and very limited.

Still worth it, though.

In my opinion, the biggest problem is the neck-area: Not displaying the helmet makes your char look like it’s wearing some kind of ruff. On small characters, it can even look downright ridiculous.

Ah well, still OK for niche situations once the hype has died down (kinda like it is with all outfits).

it’s so orgasmic. looks great with the black wings as a backpiece, too

Question: Anyone know what the bottom right dye channel does? doesn’t seem to change anything for me

It’s for your soul.

Orangensaft.7139:

+1 if it was actually an armor skin :/

or if they released it as outfit AND armor …
(i would pay 10x more for the armor to make the extra work worth it for anet)

Something like this works better as a full set though. Some of the other outfits not so much though.

OK, the set is awesome, but I have 2 small issues.

1. the 4th dye channel does nothing.
2. you cannot change the colour of the flames. This may seem dumb to some as they’re fire coloured, but I’d like to have it changed to ghostfire for my Guardian. being able to change the colour of the ‘glow’ would also go a long way to making the sets more unique looking.

These 2 issues can remedy each other btw Anet

Blue firey glow + Cobalt on a guardian would go really well together.

pls anet. PLS

It’s there since the same four dyes are universal to your outfits, but this one sadly is only a three-channel piece. Note that the horns have a design on their base that only shows up if you have contrasting light/dark between armor and horns.

I’m having fun picking dyes for it on each alt, though the orange glow is constraining me to less variation than I’d like. Except on those of my alts who don’t mind wild color clashes.

changes the colour of the curtains in your home instance

I’d like the headgear as a single armor piece. It’s awesome, in an over-the-top kind of way.

Looks great on my Charr. The helmet, for once, doesn’t make the head look enormous and while the shoulders are huge, they don’t stick out. Very nice heavy armor look of my Charr ele.

Anet pls pls pls make it a armor set for more customisation. I dont want to see a bunch of clone in LA and WvW.

Sorry to say but it looks absolutely ridiculous on a maxed out norn…Everything is oversized and bulky and out of proportion…i’m not liking it.

I do hope costumes for the rest of the Human gods..! <3
