Guild Wars 2

The names of my transmuted weapons and armors now are named after the weapon the stats r taken from, and NOT anymore the weapon where the skin was taken from.

Horrible, just horrible.
For example, my Lionguard staff with shaman stats is now called a Shaman Norn staff.
The icon and looks r still correct though, they look like a Lionguard staff.

EDIT: oh my gawd, my Wings of the Sunless is now called a Rabid Spineguard of Emerald O.O :-(

furthermore transformed item “mad memories: complete edition” does not show its description “Even after death, I shall return! And all my enemies will burn, burn, BURN!”
Mad King Thorn-

Same. Rune suffixes are no longer added to some items. I will wait patiently.

Armors or weapons transmuted weapon’s names are all wrong

This is a serious issue. Please fix, ANet!

also would like a fix. Its also frustrating that if we have a transmuted item we only unlock the skin of the stat item. Most of my unique/rare/cool skins are transmuted with better stats. This means I can add non of them to my wardrobe . . .

I transmuted my Ilya weapons (I made two of whichever is the cheapest) and the names are silly now, but I can transmute to that skin. It shows up as Chaos Gun though. I wish!

Please revert this. Part of the reason for transmutation is to get the skin’s cool name as well!

My SAB/Tribulation skins will never have their names since there are no base weapons, only skins.

Yeah, I have 3 different transmuted backpieces (Wings of the Sunles, Holografic “whatever” Wing and another one) all with the same name now (a cheap lvl 70 backpiece that I can’t recall which name). Also, after transmutation they became rare, now one is masterwork.

Agreed, names should come from the skin, not the base item.

Adding my voice since I have Azureflame trasmuted before this patch and now it’s Pearl Stinger. Plus my Enduring Coat doesn’t have the cool name and flavor text… and my human cultural armor isn’t correctly named ;_;

And my reading glasses are now “Emblazoned Helm” >.>

As I posted in another thread, not only does this change make all my weapons have lame-kitten names, there’s a functional problem too in that the right-click to equip menu is made completely useless.

I selected different skins for each of my swords so that the names would be different, and now they’re all “Zojja’s Blade”.

I have the same issue but with my backpieces, all them are named the same now.

Has this been confirmed as a bug anywhere? If it’s a change, it’s a horrid one and needs to be reverted.

It’s a change not a bug. If you hover your mouse over the item you will see “Transmuted ____” stating what is transmuted ontop of it. It’s a really stupid change but it’s not a bug unfortunately.

This HAVE to be a bug, you clearly don’t understand what the name switching does to a lot of unique skins, it made them horrible and not fun to use/ping. Ex: Fractal skins aren’t fractal weapons anymore, they’re “berserker’s pearl crap” Backpieces are also ruined, and all the gemstore skins too, since you have to transmute them, they don’t have stats in the first place

this is a bug, this is certainly no intended, and most not welcomed,
and needs to be fixed.

please.

I sure hope this is a bug/not working as intended.

I like my mix-n-match amrour sets and often had people asking me to “ping” my gear to them, which of course is completely pointless now as it’s taking it’s name from the ascended set I crafted as opposed to it’s appearance, and thus is of no help to anyone interested in my look.

Also I don’t particularly like Zojja so I’m not keen on having her name plastered across my gear.

There could at least write a confirmation if this is a bug or intended.

Come on ANet, I’m counting on you to change this. ;~; Every time I login my Ranger, I’m reminded it’s called Molten Longbow and not Wings of Dwayna. Or my Mesmer and read Inquest Sword rather than Infinite Light.

They’re probably buried in these problems and trying to dig through them with fixes. Someone to say "got it, working on it" would have to be stuck here full time and would be one less person trying to unbork things.

But yeah, this is annoying.

Doesn’t take too long to read forum posts in one bug report section… I’d be ~elated~ if they just said something.

And I strongly agree with Dehuang, having transmuted before patch:

Fix this asap, really…
its sooo important to us!

This is not likely to be a bug, but it still needs to be reverted asap.

I would appreciate it if the display worked the other way around: showing the transmuted skins name and any applicable descriptions proper how it used to show.

Where with the bottom part where it says that the item is transmuted, describes what the original skin is.

Example:
Ebon Vanguard Staff of Chuck Norris
Stats
Superior Sigil of Chuck Norris
Superior Sigil of I Win
Lol Ascended AR Slot

Transmuted
Pearl Quarterstaff

This has to be a bug though – why does it make sense that name of the weapon/armour would be tied to the stats and not the skin… as the skin/look of the gear (+ sigil/runes) is what gives the weapons/armour their names?

It’s mostly not fair because there are many things that we can’t avoid but use Skins/Transmutaion such as:

My Quaggan Backpack says [Backpack Straps] now instead of [Green Quaggan Backpack]

HoM equipment is another example – saying [Mighty Country Coat] instead of [Heritage Coat]

Black Lion Ticket skins such as [Honing Iron Greatsword] Instead of saying [Chiroptophobia]

Luckily, (ordinary equipment) my [Lyss] & [Ilya] have not changed as I wanted those PURELY for the name, and I’ve got advanced warning now not to transmute them onto Ascended pistols as I definitely don’t want to lose the names of my [Lyss] & [Ilya] (because it looks cool when you tag them in /map chat! )

Also, this becomes an issue too, because people with Exotic equipment are now choosing whether to keep the name of their exotic weapon and lose out on stats, or lose the name and get better stats, but with an ascended weapon’s name.

CETheLucid.3964:

Example:
Ebon Vanguard Staff of Chuck Norris
Stats
Superior Sigil of Chuck Norris

Lol, loved that. But yes, another issue is when choosing it via right click on Hero panel. Now all my backpieces shows the same name and if it wasn’t due their rarity I couldn’t differentiate them (that’s another issue, one of them had became “rare” after transmutation and now it shows as “masterwork”).
