Guild Wars 2

and would like for them to be frequently introduced if possible. We could ask for completely new designs, but I’m sure that takes a lot of work, and most are reserved for the gem store.

Now, I’m no graphic artist, so I may be naive in the amount of work it would take to res skins weapons when it comes to adding different textures, colors, and particle effects to them, but I see some potential in this. (I don’t even know if re skinning is the proper term for it, lol)

Looks at SAB for instance, there is a huge amount in prestige for simply have a different color super weapon, I think this can be expanded to other parts of the game, as well as just re skinning weapons people can easily get for fun.

Example: Imagine taking the Ebon vanguard greatsword http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Ebon_Vanguard_Greatsword.jpg, and changing the blade to the same texture as the glass priory weapons, and then changing the hue/color of the blade to grayish black, and the hilt to celestial, and sticking that in the chest of one of the more difficult JP as a random reward.

I would be 10000000 times happier if they simply implemented weapon-dyeing to be honest…so that they would not even need to “re-skin”, I would be able to do it myself. making weapons the colour I like, the colour they match with my character and armors choices.

Yeah, it would be great if some weapons in game where able to be dyed. (lifesblood longsword )

Other than that, I’m still praying for future reskins, hoping more people see this thread and comment, lol.

Well they’ll either be added to the gemstore or the black lion chests. So I’d rather have dyeable weapons, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon (read : not for this year).

I’d be quite happy if all the interesting Black Lion skins weren’t so insanely expensive AND random to acquire. I don’t have a problem with most gem store items, but those are insane.

Luckily you can buy them on the TP now, and when you look at the price of keys, it’s not that expensive to buy them on it.

For the most part, I don’t really have trouble acquiring gem store skins when I want them, this thread mostly stems from my desire to see more rewarding weapon skins distributed throughout the world. (well, it’s actually mostly because I want to see some cook skins)

These weapons can be made obtainable through JPs, certain events interesting events (Bria’s manor for example), straight up buying them from merchants for a high gold price, etc.
