Guild Wars 2

I started GWs on release and played for a couple months before having to quit (absolutely no fault of the games, I loved it then and I do now) and doing spvp I’d get tons of skins to go into the wardrobe after most (every?) match.

When I came back last month, it’s all changed. I decided to level another couple of classes before diving into spvp but I have been doing some. The thing is, now there’s skins rather than armour for it but there just doesn’t SEEM to be even close to the amount I remember. I mean clearing the map out for completion and almost done now, I’ve unlocked the basic stuff, then there’s the crafting stuff like iron / bronze and the (what I think is) zone stuff – glyphic, etc.

Are all the older skins still in it? I’ve not seen any real cool stuff like I remember, if any skins at all from spvp.

I really don’t like the pvp changes, or the NPE but I’ve read numerous complaints about the latter.

Did any get removed? are they in those reward things, like the rank up box things you can change or they automatically change every 2 weeks?

Very little in the way of armor has been removed. While there’s a small subset of armor that’s unobtainable, the only ones that have been actually removed are ones that were only obtainable from the old sPvP system and several of the others were just never obtainable in the first place.

Don’t forget about it, Anet!

All 9 of those sets were available in PvP.

Ah, okay then. A couple of them made no mention of ever being in the PvP system (such as the missing pieces of the Studded armor), so I just assumed. Whoops.

You can visit the bank, and open the Wardrobe there, to see all available skins in the game, no matter where they can be obtained.

Welcome return, and good luck!

Thanks, that’s such a shame, some of those are gorgeous. In fact I think I got a few pieces of some :\

It’s unfortunate because I totally get that Anet is working on the expansion, but it would seem like a quick win to re-release all of these skins. Everybody wants skins and they’ve already done the work. Perhaps it’ll come out with the expansion. Check my signature for a forum post on “Missing Wardrobe Skins” that are currently unobtainable but were at one point. While they’re at it, they should make available those few skins you can only get through character creation – THAT is ridiculous.

I think it’d be epic if the Silver Eagle heavy armour from GW1 EotN was bought back. (though tbh I think I’d most like to see it as cultural amour for playable Tengu some day )

My ranger has the stalwart shoulders, I think they were the best looking medium armor shoulders in the game. I’m glad I got them when I did.
