May I know why you have again changed the Mist weapon skins? This is the second time this has happened since launch. The first time you reverted it back to its original, but with this latest update, it was changed again… for the worse. (For those that hadn’t noticed the changes in my attached sample, start comparing with the hilts).

I would just like to know if this is intended or, as with the previous incident, a bug which you will rectify soon? I know that players with Mist weapons spent a lot of effort to craft these skins and it feels unfair to change it now. Not only unfair, I feel cheated.

I’d guess its a glitch, hopefully. Not much sense in toning down the awesomeness of a weapon after all.

The first one was a mistake. It was two of them mashed together and misaligned. If you don’t notice that on the two blades then you can definitely notice that on the two guards and two pummels that show. If they were going to make a blade look like the top picture, doing it the way it was would have been an awful and lazy way to go about it.

If it was a mistake in the first place then why did the skin look like the above picture when the game launched and for many months thereafter? It was changed briefly to what it is now after an update but was quickly changed back to the double hilt in a quick patch (which shows their true intentions for the skin). Fast forward to today and it has reverted back again to the single hilt.

In another game I played the practice arena kept toggling between 2 looks for no reason at all, my guess was and is that they have multiple concurrent version and mix ’em up occasionally…

But I agree, it does look correct now. And if the launch look is indeed the intended look, then yes that is amazingly lazy…
