Suggestions: Please Add More Skins for Engi Kits
You can get back packs from WvW which show your guild emblem, they take the back slot nod
I wouldnt mind aesthetic diversity per se, i also wouldnt mind my things looking ‘more’ Charr. Whenever i look at my rifle turret it reminds me of a boot on a stick.
Is it possible to add some diversity to Engineer’s Kits?
I used Kits very often but they always look the same ever since. Is there a way to give them a different look?
(1) The “BACK” item among the 6 accessories, decides the appearance of Elixir Gun, Flamethrower, Bomb Kits, etc. Anyway, it never shows any graphic.
(2) The “family (Cleric, Knight, etc)” of the main hand weapon decides the appearance of our kits, or probably the rarity, at least in the case of Exotic and Legendary, can give them a different look.
Are these suggestions, or is this how it actually works and I’ve never noticed it? If so, please attach screenshots!
LoreChief,
These are my suggestions.
Graywolf,
I like the race-oriented idea but then the problem stays the same as my racial “wooden” kits would never change skins… But this is a good start, for example, wooden kits, metallic kits, leather kits, and the look can depend upon inner back, weapon style, or whatsoever, just so that we can have a choice.
Btw, thank you for telling me about the guild emblem. What a pity… I am not in any guild…
I kinda wish that our backpack changed skin depending on the weapon we’re using IE if we’re using Hylek weapons, we’ll have a hylek back pack, if we’re using Elder Skull weapons then the backpack will be Elder Skull variety, and of course for simplicities sake it’d be dependent on your main hand weapon should you be using pistol/pistol or pistol/shield
They sing dark, delicious notes about power and family.

Durzlla, Yes, ultimately that’d be awesome. But I am afraid it might mean many many skins and turns out too challenging for Anet to proceed with. But at least a couple of skins would suffice.
Cant agree more. Kit’s are the tools engineers use instead of Weapon’s and all other classes have the BEST feature in the game ( besides its a big point of the game itself, since stats dont really matter later on) : The ability to change there gears skins.
I mean c mon. You are selling item skins in shop and the game is centered araund obtaining cool skins, instead of dephending on stats and gear. So whats the point of taking away one of the most ipmportant aspects of the game from the class?
I would totally buy this backpack skin:

I 100% agree. At level 1 or so the kits fit in nicely but with all the shiny upgrades we get on our visuals until 80 they just look like some old trash. We need skins. My sugestion would be to just sell them as new skills.
For example:
1) Buy in Gem shop: Shiny Black Metal Flamethrower bundel (300 gems)
2) Unlock the item via doubleclick.
3) You now have a new slot skill to equip but you can aswell switch back to the old flamer if you want to.
Pretty much like the digital deluxe elite. Best solution imo. They wouldn’t even have to be gem only but I wouldn’t mind it.
@Dojo ONLY problem with that would be if its a new skill people could slot two flamers and have double incendary ammo. However, simply overriding the ability and giving the new one in its place solves that.
True. Didn’t think about that but as you said it should not be that hard to popup a message “you already have this skill” whenever you want to equip something twice just like you cnanot run 2 ults or a flamethrower underwater.
I dont think that would be a problem. Later on they MUST add a way to implement skill “skin” and effect switching options. A new menu will be implemented in my assumption.
Besides that the idea is quite cool. Trough i would add some ingame unlockable skins to. Not so totally mind blowing like the ones in the shop, but still decent.
I would also add more turret skins, banner skins and models, minion models and skins and so on ect….
The game (and the shop) has so many wonderfull possibilityes, try to use thme Anet!
Btw, i was wondering to myself. Early game its ok you have a tri legged crappy turret, but wont the Engineer upgrade its look as he gets better at his profession? Cromed metal casings, or colored ornaments on the turrets and weapons? I do think he would modify them for sure !
Yup, probably the higher we level up or the more we explore the map, we shall get more kit skins available.
For example, at lvl 60 you can “upgrade” (the appearance of) one of your kits, either flamethrower, exlixir gun, or turret, etc. at lvl 80 you can upgrade another skin.
For example, every time you win 5 puzzle achievements, you are given an offer. Or, for every dungeon you complete the 4 modes, you are given a skin, which might include some animation effects.
Some race-oriented cultural skins would be a nice idea. All-weather, extreme-weather, light compact gears for all terrains, one that is equipped with searchlight or aim-point laser, etc can be another.
Anyway, no stats involved, shouldn’t be much grinding involved either. But this will encourage engineers to explore more the map or other missions, to use more those kits, and to develop their own “style”.

If you put it that way “But this will encourage engineers to explore more the map or other missions, to use more those kits, and to develop their own “style”.”
It kind of sounds brilliant, as it would come from the devs itself.
