Guild Wars 2

Hello Folks
Should these two Armors also put out the shop and going updated? because i see here the same problem.These two armors are also cheap Recycle skins from karma & wvwvw Armors.Why should only light become unique and these two not?

Totally agree!!!

To start lets quote Regina Buenaobra in a post about the skin “Hey, everyone. We’ve been reading all your feedback about the Flamekissed Armor Skin that was released into the Gem Store yesterday.
Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance. However, after reading your feedback, we agree that the Flamekissed armor is not visually distinct enough from Human Cultural Tier 3 armor.
We will do a few things to address this issue.
We will temporarily remove Flamekissed Armor Skin from the Gem Store.
Players who have purchased Flamekissed Armor Skin will keep the skin.
We will make new art for the Flamekissed Armor Skin that achieves our goal of making a visually distinct and attractive armor set and does not closely resemble the Human Tier 3 Cultural armor.
Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.
When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.
Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.
Thank you everyone for providing your feedback. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel about the new armor set.”
All 3 skins are ripoffs of some other skin lets look at them all
Well the light was a T3 look alike. Best looking of them all and most worth it with the gem to gold conversion.
The heavy is just the Karma Pit Fighter, Karma gear for crying out loud. Cheap and ugly, fresh paint on a rusted surface.
The medium is a standard Mistwalker, worst of them all a standard set. Cheap ugly and craft able
So to sum it all up the Light looked like T3 but with that it was a good deal for 800 gems. The others a just a plane rip off of a low class cheap and ugly gear. Anet should really pull the other 2 skins as well and make 3 brand new beautiful skins that make all T3 armors look like rags.
I personally loved the T3 looking armor and got gems to get it and then they pulled it, so so sad. All the people that cried over the gold they spent on the T3, to bad for them. I didn’t get my 50 laurels back for gear that I got just for karma farming the liquid karma when those changes were made. That’s 50 days worth of playing, you can get 20G a day with the right farm. That’s 1000G in that 50 days 10 sets of T3 gear.
On a side note Anet really really needs to work on the application of armors on Charr characters. In my opinion there are only 2 skins that look good on them and one other that’s ok.
In the end the Cultural and Orders should be accessible to all regardless of race and Order affiliation. My reasoning for this is that in the end they all come together to fight as one. Now I guess you could make it so that you needed an 80 with story completion to access the tiered armor sets and completed each Order story line to access their armors.

Agree also
They are cheap and ugly

There’s no need to remove them from shop, because noone’s going to buy those anyway.

…come to think, that would be a really good reason to reskin them.

Their base skins are available to everyone so I believe they are fair game, honestly though they’re pretty ugly and unpopular skins to begin with so I doubt they’ll sell well. With the base skins being available to everyone I think this is more a case of letting people vote with their money, the lack of sales will likely see such blatant reskins with fairly “meh” particle effects not occur in the future. I mean how many people have you see with either skin in game? I haven’t seen any.

I’ve seen a few wearing these items. I think they should stay. I don’t ultimately dislike reskins overall as having played many MMO’s where this practice is actually common place.

My only problem with the practice in this particular game is that we are only a year in. You usually see this sort of treatment during expansions where old skins get a revamp. Makes even more sense in those games where gear is tiered and the reskins come back as a tribute to the nice looking items that once were the staple of the tier.
My largest memory to date for something like that was back in WoW with paladin T2 judgement rainments. It came back as dungeon gear in TBC expansion (in a different color) and was pretty much well received.

I think that example works because the previous gear was hard to get (in entirety), and the new set allowed for easy access to the set.

The largest problem that I had with the light Flamekissed set was that it gave access of Cultural armor sets to all Races and for an extremely high discount. If you want to make the exclusiveness of the cultural sets non existent across the board, then do it…across the board. Don’t throw them in the gem shop. My opinion anyway.

Overall, in a game this young with virtually no new sets in game TO BE EARNED BY ACTUALLY DOING THINGS IN THE GAME, I think this practice of using reskins and tossing them into the gem store leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
