Guild Wars 2

Turrets aren’t exactly the best fashion statement around for the engineer as they don’t look cool enough to be something that I would’ve built as an engineer (style points yo). I think it would be way better if their model was more similar to the concept art. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

(If anyone knows the answer is that engineer in the expansion announcement trailer A norn or a human?)

yes. this has been an issue since day one. Turrets do not reflect your race, and its really dumb. Asura using such “low” tech turrets is very strange. the actual design is more human, but you could argue Charr using them too. Sylvari being full on plant based like “seed turret” or root ult, might be a bit much, contradictory to the engineer profession itself.. but, at the same time, would be logical for the race. And plenty of plant rifles, pistols…

This has been asked for since release for Necros and Mesmers too. And honestly, even GEM store purchases to reskin these things would be great.

I’d pay money for turret re-skins as long as they are good

Buy HoT. It comes with new turret skins.

Why should they get better treatments than other utilities O.o??

i replaced “turrets” with “hobosacks” in my head and this thread was exactly the same…

sadly we got all the ugly things.

We have the unfortunately curse of being a kit class. And kits come with a stuck appearance which sucks. In a game where appearance equates to prestige we are on the low end with this stuff

Personally I like the idea of different turret skins for each race. It would also be great if ranger pets could wear armor for teh same reason. Not race individual, just for the fine art of details! Not every class has stuff to be indivitual, they don’t have to. But where potential is to show that this game truly cares about small stuff too would be a shame to not use this potential. Semi good english i guess – well not native and it’s 4 am here

No. We need to make turrets even uglier to cull the turret engineer plague. It is the only cure…

the order of whispers turret skins are so much cooler
