Guild Wars 2

Just a simple suggestion, I never understood why NO ONE in an mmo has never tried, if reskinning IS something that has to happen some time, instead of reskinning one whole set, why not make a new set from pieces here and there? People already like to mix it up a bit and put pieces together, why can’t devs be a little creative and use a mix of skins to make a whole new full-set if reskinning is what you plan on doing. There’s plenty of options of stuff that goes really well together.

(Whether or not it should happen is NOT this discussion, this is purely if, so please leave that discussion out of here)

i love mix and match!

I like to mix and match as well. There are plenty of others who do so too.

It’s funny I JUST watched(like 2 minutes ago =) the Bog Otter vid, and listened to Richie talk about mixing and matching reskin sets.

NO mmo has ever tried?

A company named ANET did, when they reskinned and mixed elements of existing armors for some of the EoTN Prestige armors.

But that was “that” ANET and unrelated to “this” ANET.

Well I had never seen it in an MMO, my apologies for that blanket assumption. :P

Anet did do this in GW1 like Teofa mentioned.

I also remember a lot of complaints that such design was “lazy” and “cheap” as well.

No matter what a developer does, someone is going to kitten about it.

Well I get the lazy arguments, hence the “if”, but what I’m saying is IF they’re going to reskin, at least be creative about it and mix and match to make a new set with some reskinning, I’d say its much better than an obvious whole set just reskinned a bit.
