Guild Wars 2

Why can’t BL wep skins that were “earned” during the PvP “glory days” (NOW unlocked in collections) be applied from the wardrobe today? These skins used to be equip-able in PvP ONLY from the PvP locker (if earned via PvP reward).

BL Skins that were obtained as PvP rewards & then subsequently unlocked in collections after the PvP locker/wardrobe merge are currently not available to equip from the wardrobe in any venue = PvP or PvE or WvW….

Why do the unlocked BL wep skins now have to be reacquired (as opposed to already earned through previous PvP reward) via purchase using BL claim tickets to be equipped in any game venue? They ARE already unlocked in BL collections…

If it is unlocked (visible in your bank wardrobe) then you should be able to transmute the skin onto an existing armor piece using your hero panel wardrobe.

If by BL you mean the Black Lion weapons … which set was ever obtainable through PvP?

I can see some BL skins in my Collections but not in my Wardrobe, but I’m not sure how I got those! I think it’s a bug that items appear in the collections but not in the wardrobe, I can’t remember if you could unlock BL skins in PVP before.

Its a bug with black lion collection achievements. Sometimes weapons unlock in the collection without owning them.

I’ve got several of these myself.

It’s hard to conclude that it’s a bug, because it could easily be an intentional design associated with the elimination of the PvP locker system. I had some BL wep skins in PvP locker prior to “merging into wardrobe system”

To those respondents that have some BL skins unlocked in collections but NOT in Wardrobe, would you confirm via reply to this post that you have or haven’t participated in PvP activities during the “glory days”.

As an aside, examples BL wep skins that could be earned via PVP rewards were Dreamthistle, Dragons Jade, & Lovestruck

I have never participated in PvP, and I have several BLTC skins unlocked (that I have never equipped/destroyed/etc.) Nor were the skins/items rewarded through AP chests.

It is a bug….I do believe the Devs posted acknowledging such.

Also, are you sure such skins were obtainable in PvP? Nothing in the Wiki stating you could earn them there. I don’t remember reading such an announcement, either….

^ That’s correct. It’s an issue that we’re aware of. Apologies for any confusion caused by it.

Hi Joey speaking of weapon/armouir skins, is there any reason all the skins I unlocked on my level 80 ele before the change wasn’t added to the wardrobe?

I had a halloween staff skin from the first year and its not in the wardrobe. Did the change only effect armour/weapons from the update with the wardrobe?

TY for posting bug confirmation Joey

I’ve never seen any type of announcement about BL wep skins “dropping” in PvP either, I just remember opening PvP chests and being surprised with those “story related” rewards. I also recall scanning thru my PvP locker (when I was frantically trying to use up glory in the PvP Mystic Forge to increase my pending wardrobe at the time) & seeing BL wep skins there. I admit, it could be a real challenge to dig through history “builds” for ANET to confirm “my recollection”. However with that said, if you (inculpates) have some BL wep skins without “glory days” PvP, there MUST be an alternate reason & bug “seems” logical.
