Guild Wars 2

What are your thoughts on ArenaNet implementing a series of “skins” for weapon kits?

The skins, similar to those available in the Lost Shores or Halloween events, would be applied to the skill rather than a physical weapon. Skins would also extend to the backpack as well as the physical weapon. Skins can then reset t back to the skills default appearance by right clicking on the skill and selecting the appropriate option.

The skins could be available in all dungeons as well as on the Black Lion store.

Would you be interested? I know I’d love a new skin for the wrench and flamethrower…

Skins for kits are tricky. Maybe adding a copy of the kit as a ‘collectors’ kit with different visual but same stats(aka flamethrower 2 or give it a unique name like ‘Matchsticks Flamethrower’). This would allow you to swap between the skills (just for visual) anytime, is easier to program and more user friendly. I would pay for that.

I would very much like to see new skins for kits, because obtaining rare weapon skins is relatively pointless if you are always swapping kits.

I would buy that.

I play a flamethrower engi so i would love to have the option of more skins for the flamethrower.
Everyone else gets to have the legendary look but not us, were stuck with the one skin?
I probably use the flamethrower 80% of the time so would be great to have adifferent look!

How about allowing the effects of legendary weapons to also be active while using kits?
Multiple legendary looks for the price of one! Better than nothing. Flamethrower Engineer is the one of the most fun builds for WvW. It is unfair not to have a legendary option for this build.

How about engineers can make a legendary back piece that changes the skins of all the kits to something cooler? More detailed flamethrower, grenades with small rainbow trail fx, etc. Just a thought

Round bombs with fuses like bomber-man’s. I would buy immediately.

^ This… Awesome

Or they can make a bunch of nice looking skins and tie it to the weapon class you have. If you have a berzerker’s rifle, you’ll be seeing a berzerker’s elixir gun or a berzerker’s grenade pack when you swap.
