Hey, everyone. We’ve been reading all your feedback about the Flamekissed Armor Skin that was released into the Gem Store yesterday.

Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance. However, after reading your feedback, we agree that the Flamekissed armor is not visually distinct enough from Human Cultural Tier 3 armor.

We will do a few things to address this issue.

• We will temporarily remove Flamekissed Armor Skin from the Gem Store.
• Players who have purchased Flamekissed Armor Skin will keep the skin.
• We will make new art for the Flamekissed Armor Skin that achieves our goal of making a visually distinct and attractive armor set and does not closely resemble the Human Tier 3 Cultural armor.
• Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.
• When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.

Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.

Thank you everyone for providing your feedback. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel about the new armor set.

And I thought all hope is lost. This surely made my day! I’ve been a little down since the set came out. Now, it’s time to start gw2! ^^

I’m so disappointed on putting the reskinned human tier 3 on the gemstore… the worst decision this far I have encountered. And gosh… I already thought gw2 wouldn’t do these obvious mistakes. That gemstore t3 really needs be taken off the store and refund all the players who bought it. ..I’m still thinking this must be a bad prank and not the real deal.

Did this skin go through any kind of good/bad idea filter?

I used +50% karma communal fire, 15% guild karma, 10% heroes banner and 5% from food. Then I used all my karma jugs etc. and after I used them all I realized that I should have gotten way more I did. I only got 5040 karma from a jug. I know that I made a mistake myself by not checking things out first.

I lost about 500k karma or so and made bug report about it, contacted support and I’m thanked for the bug reports. Okey, that’s cool. But have I completely lost all my bugged karma or do I get some back on some point? Don’t really know the Anet’s policy on this. I have a video of me checking all the buffs and then using all the karma jugs etc. it proofs my point quite nicely. I can upload it if necessary.

So, am I priviledged to get something back or did finding a bug cost me a 500k karma?
