Guild Wars 2

I was hyped for the Nightfury shoulders until i realized that I would have to lose the shoulders from my Arah Light armor set. I previewed my necro without the shoulder and with the nightfury (invisible shoulders) and it just looked silly on a male human. I thought you could somehow apply the effect to your armor, but when I found out you couldn’t, I don’t even want Nightfury anymore.

Going forward in the future, could you (Arenanet) please make a separate slot just for these special effects or some way that they could be skinned over your existing armor with out losing your armor pieces.

Thank you.

So many posts about nightfury being bugged, the effects disappear when you wp and when you fight with zerg the clusters of skill effects cancels the nightfury effects that you have to re equip it to make it appear again. My point is they cant even fix it and they dont even want it to be usable with outfit why would they do that. Its a cost of a legendary but they dont care about it anymore. Nightfury isnt worth it.

Please no. Just take a second and look at what someone is already capable of without even using extra slots….

Someone gave the idea on Reddit of using 6 like extra aura/effect slots… Well if your wanting that then it’d be possible to get this combo..
1. Frostfang Aura (smokey cloud)
2. Howler Aura (smokey cloud aura that stacks on frostfangs, I can prove it)
3. Nightfury (bat aura, also stacks on above 3)
4. Kamohoali Aura (underwater bubble aura, Does stack currently now, I can prove it)
5. Black Refractor (just to turn everything pitch black and more annoying)
6. Queen Bee (to add a bit more non sense and sounds)

Yes these actually do all currently stack but just for an example of how annoying it can get…

Any ideas of combos let me know I can test everything, I have each refractor, Nightfury, Queen Bee, and all the legendaries.

I’m not saying 6 slots or a slot for every effect, I think at the very least they could give us an “Armor Effect” slot and a “Trinket Effect” slot. You should be able to use these effects with endgame ascended trinkets and not just exotic and you should be able to keep your shoulders and not have to get rid of equipment just to have this. I love my Arah light armor set and I will do without nightfury (the effect I fell in love with) if it means losing my gear.

But the bats swarming around you is the effect you get from wearing those shoulder guards… They are essentially the “shoulders”… just like how the scarf isn’t quite on your shoulders anymore…. I’m sick of people complaining about these things when their argument makes 0 sense…

Want bats flying around, wear the bat shoulders. Want CoF shoulders? Wear CoF shoulders…

Want the black coloring effect? Wear an exotic trinket with that effect on it, it’s that simple.

No need to start adding a bunch of aura slots and what not, it’s simple as is and works as is no need to go screwing with it.

If you want the best end game gear/stats on, then wear it, don’t wear the bee or refractors. They are aesthetic gear, want aesthetics wear aesthetics, want top stats, wear top stat gear then.

If you don’t want that then don’t use them…..

No need for that when the refractors do the job..

Seriously some of these arguments on here and reddit are getting ridiculous. If you want a certain aesthetic or effect, then use that certain item for the effect. Cause and effect people. Have to have the cause to get the desired effect.

It’s a suggestion not a complaint…

Reddit is full of people complaining about this exact thing.

I’m considering making a character for this effect, but currently I won’t make it because I don’t have a character I’d like to use it.

People dont get it, we buy nightfury, queenbee and poly for their effects. The real problem here is anet dont have a slot for the current effects their making right now. Its not that we are asking seperate slots for effects like OP described it but those effects have simply no room for our current equipments UI so they are putting those effects and binding them with trinkets then armor. Korimor your point has no sense that if you want nightfury effect you equip nightfury and if you like your shoulder skins then equip it “without the effect”. You see nighfury isnt a shoulder its an effect you just call it a shoulder because its a shoulder slot but its not , anet just dont have a proper effect slot for it currently. Anet can make all the effects they want and bind them into armor slots “without” the armor (invisible) as many as they want and it would look ridiculous if you have to buy those effects with your toon being naked. What we need is an effect without losing your ascended gear or armor skin. Learn the real difference of effect and skin Koromir. My suggestion is make the effects like dyes, you buy it like a dye and apply it and it will get accountbound wether you do it on weapons, armor, trinkets or anet would come up to a better idea then we dont have to lose a “skin” for the sake of an “effect”. And to the Anet employee I asked about this issue that replied like Korimor “its a shoulder piece” …do you get it now?

Dont be a tool, its not that simple effect and skin are two different thing anet put bats effect for the exchange of a “shoulder skin” because they dont have currently a proper slot for it right now. You dont have to choose between an effect or a skin anet should come up with this for a better solution.

Right Heitred, that’s what I was trying to say. I want the effect to be soul bound the the characters’ shoulder piece so you can still use the effect and keep your shoulders. I thought you could keep your shoulders on and some how apply Nightfury through the wardrobe system. It doesn’t have to be a slot, just let me apply it to my existing gear.
