Guild Wars 2

I was browsing the forums and then it hit me.
The long awaited ascended weapons came to the game and they brought with them ? * drums* – ONE skin.

That’s all there was – one skin for each weapon type. And personally that skin isn’t even very epic. It looks alright. It’s just that – alright.
Ascended is supposed to be second only to legendary. Look at Twilight – then back at the ascended greatsword – now back to Twilight. See the problem?

Other weapons feel more awesome. And that’s alright – we can always transmute – but I feel that they could’ve gone further with the design and looks on the weapons.

The reason this is relevant is that soon – before the year ends Ascended Armor will be coming back.
I think I’m not alone in saying that i would be VERY disappointed if we get just ONE skin for the new armor. There are so many great armor designs and skins in GW1 that could be implemented. I’m sure there are a lot of cool looking sets in GW2’s artwork that never made it in the game ( Looking at you Endure Pain skill Icon).

So please – if you feel the same way post and keep this bumped so the devs can see it.
More armor variety would be great. Let us choose which skins we want to craft for ourselves when we make our ascended armor – let us feel a bit of variety with the armor.
Or at least bring more skins to the Gem Store ( It is the number one source of income for GW2 isn’t it? )

A while ago new awesome looking weapons got added into the game. How about some armor sets as well?

Thanks for reading.

I’m the opposite. I prefer as few skins as possible being locked behind Ascended Grinding, since the Skins are the only part of these things that I’m actually interested in. I’m getting an Ascended Sword for my Warrior and transmuting it onto her current level 40 Masterwork so she can use the appearance as she levels up. Provided she doesn’t hit 80 before I finish the weapon, anyway. But if she’s 79 when I get it, I’ll transmute it so I can use it immediately.

Well it is one skin but it comes in so many colours.

Keep in mind exotic weapons from crafting also only have one skin.

I wish they would add the GW1 weapons as skins, I think ANET would probably get swamped if they were put in as skins because they look so much better than 95% of ANY of the GW2 weapons/armors.

Also GW1’s ability to dye the weapon! why was this removed? the people that actually have good ideas down at the Anet offices get a harsh stare and are thrown into the basement for a few months I think…

Destroyer/corrupted weapons > all weapons \o/

I agree with you both.

I might cry if they introduce tormented weapons in RNG chests. That will be a sad day.

I know. Zodiac are now part of the RNG boxes so I’m only going to assume that any and all future GW1 weapons or armor sets added to GW2 will be through RNG boxes. God forbid the armor and weapons from the same universe can be acquired in similar ways without spending cash.

For the time and money spent, it shouldn’t look fine, good or even great…… it should look amazingballz. But what we get is ugly shaped weapons with unnoticeable Fisher Price glow to them. wtf!

Re-skinned Wintersday weapons with light shining through it.

This isn’t the point.
They introduced the next tier of weapons – that will be BIS for at least a year – and they did it in a very poor way imo.

Also – A lot of GW1 ideas were scrapped for no reason. Many quality of life things. C’est la vie.

You should’ve been able to pick the color you wanted. I want berserker stats, but the celestial color…
