Guild Wars 2

So every other week, we always get the Gemstore and Black Lion tickets weapons update. So how about some free weapons that doesn’t cost gems at all put into the game? I feel that the PvE world loot is boring.

Regular ordinary weapon update is a update every other week where ANet puts in new weapons into the PvE world. Just like the gemstore/BLT weapons.

Here is what ANet can do:

• Ordinary weapons- I am not expecting fancy weapons or glitter to put into the regular weapon update.
• Can even be reskin/recolor of the current weapons we have. It doesn’t have to be a completely new weapon. Such as, the Shiverpeak weapons can even have a red hilt as a minor difference or AC weapons can have a Red glow instead of a blue one.
• Can be unimaginative if it saves time.
• Add into the PvE world through Karma traders or loot drops in a specific zone.

Pro:

• The PvE loot is just boring. This will spice up the loot system in each zone.
• This will spice up the Karma vendors.
• Sometimes I just like the skin, but the color just does not fit with my armor.
• It gives ANet some control over what weapons should be dyed without looking too silly.
• This suggestion will benefit the new and veteran players. The new player will like looking different while the veteran players will like scavenger hunts for their collection.

Cons

• May require one dedicated team for this suggestion for all eternity.
• No dyed weapons ever.

I think PvE loot is boring and this is why it should be added.

They recently put in a whole set of new weapons to obtain. The Amberite set. Sure you have to “work” for it… I mean play the game but they are not at all hard to get.

I play the game on average 12-18 hours a week around a full time job.

I am nowhere near close to an Ambrite weapon. This is despite having spent nearly every LS release farming the crap out of Dry Top for at least 3 cycles a night. Currently I’ve been doing WvW since Dry Top doesn’t want me . . . I mean, Dry Top isn’t as productive with a night shift job leaving me midnight to 3am to play :P

I work myself and I barely play at all. RNG sucks like that but for the most part using keys to open the chests helps a lot in getting the items you need and after that its very cheap to craft.

Doesn’t take away the fact that what they are asking for is already there, maybe not in the exact way they want it, but it is there.

Well, so was the “skill hunting” in the Trait Mastery revamp . . . and then there was the Wallet, the Wardrobe . . .

Never quite how “they” want it but it’s there. About sums up GW2 in a nutshell, and shows what happens when you net a widely differing audience with your game.

some new “regular skins” as random drops would be really nice….agree w/ OP. i’d love more reg skins in the vein of krytan weaps (well designed, but not over-the-top),

some of my favorite armor skins are mid-level crafting/drops….would love a few new sets of those (drops).

I would like some more low level armor choices and unique skins for the leveling reward weapons.
my concern with regular ordinary weapon updates is that it may make the wardrobe too messy.
