No one is kittening that the skin was removed from the gem shop, 99% of the people that have posted are fine with it. It was Anets mistake to release the skin in the first place. The issue most people have now is a feeling of being betrayed by anet afterwards due to a few things:
1. Anet gave us a bullkitten excuse for why the skin is being completely changed. Its evident the uproar from the community was not unanimous, and the claim that no one in anet noticed how similar it was to a cultural armor set until after it was released is absurd. You would have to be blind not to see it
2. Anet is not properly compensating those who have the skin already. 800 gems back means we technically get a free armor skin, that’s great but everyone that bought the skin WANTED that skin, or they wouldn’t have bought it. You change the skin, the same people may not want it, and wouldn’t have spent the money on it to begin with.
3. Anet has stated the new skin will be at a discounted price once its out. So instead of getting a free 800gem skin with the return they are offering, we now have a 700? 600?500? gem skin. Due to conversions in prices, we would be getting back the same amount of gold that others would be spending for gems to buy this new skin if it ranged in the 600-500 range and people just lost real life money (like 2$ maybe but im still pointing it out)
4. Those that don’t like the new skin will have to reskin and redo their toons (if they did a makeover kit) to get back what was lost. Some, who even replaced gem store gear, will have to rebuy sets. For those considering transmutation splitters, that’s even more expensive and Anet has not offered to give us the stones needed. ( Even then in some cases it wont recover the skins lost) We just lost more gold/money.
Now that that’s done, i’ll add my two cents as well. Those that were happy with the skin didn’t complain because they were happy with it. Those that liked human t3 but didn’t want to pay another 60-70g or 10$ to get another skin of it are the ones that started all this and they are fine to voice their concern, but they are also fine to keep the armor they already worked for. No one is holding them at gunpoint to change it. Its a temporary cash shop item, it will not be there forever, however the human T3 will be always there. There is no degrading a value of an armor piece when one is constant and the other is not. As for those complaining about making the skin non exclusive people need to remember besides the whole T3 will always be there that this is a free to play game. A cash shop is usually there to make things that are hard or not in game accessible. Although this one is very non intrusive, I have seen others that are pretty much needed to do anything. Things that you buy with ingame money will ALWAYS be more expensive to get then the stuff that you can get from the cash shops. You technically are getting it for free. If you want to do the whole “well I spent time to get this and now its 10$” argument, the cash shop item is not YOUR exact skin, you still have exactly what you spent time to get, and only humans can get it.
Anet should have released 2 other t3 along with this from other races in my opinion, Maybe that was their intent down the road but with so much fuss we will never know. The fact that it was only the T3 human is what has drawn the most issues. But I also wonder where’s the outcry for the other 2 skins ,which are karma and wvw badges, also excusive in a way since you need certain things in game to get them. They are reskinning the sunkissed, but we’re stuck with this kittenty medium and heavy and they are fine giving us a product no one wanted to begin with?
I have no problem with Anet removing the skin, but the reasoning for the removal ( “oh we just noticed…”) is insulting and the fact it is being further removed/changed while being offered at a discounted price is even worse. Change the skin before you put it back up, that’s fine, but let the people who wanted the skin, bought the skin…keep it.. and release all the races T3 for a 12 hour sale to silence the “you took away my cultural but no one else’s exclusivity” people. At the current state, Anet is punishing the people that bought from them while the people who are upset and did not purchase anything are rewarded, a business model that is extremely kittened up.
how is anet not completely at fault when they are the ones that chose what skin to release to begin with, and are now the ones deciding what to do about the situation?
customer support got back to me, they will not be offering a way to get back an old T3 skin, if you want it back after the change, you will have to rebuy the skin. the only thing that will be offered is the refund of 800 gems and an automatic reskin when the new one is put in.
Thank you crusaders and anet, you just screwed people out of even more gold.

As someone that had t3 before this release and bought the new skin and reskin it, im extremely kitten ed that I am not only about to lose the skin I just bought, but I am also about to lose my T3 completely when they decide to change it. PLUS the fact that anet has offered to put the new skin on SALE when its reposted is just an insult to injury.
We can contact consumer support for our 800 gems but we have no way of getting our old T3 skin back?
Thank you for telling me im about to spend all that money for a second time for t3 while you listen to a community where 99% of them didn’t buy the skin your changing. Although releasing a T3 skin was a bad idea and they have learned from their mistake, they did it and people bought it because they wanted it.Those that spent the money for the skin, let them keep it. It was up for less then 24 hours and just became the rarest in the game.
The ones kittening got their wish with getting it removed, but taking it away from everyone who already got it is a bad idea. Redo the skin, call it something else, and put it back up for sale, along with the bad reskins of heavy and leather.
I have tried running it as admin, I have turned off all my security, and use the links that have posted and nothing would work. It would still freeze at the login window without a error message and have to be forced closed. I decided to reinstall a 3rd time and still get the same issues, however now the log in window is frozen for about 2 min and then it starts working.
I do not receive any errors, it simply freezes at the initial download screen without the name/password boxes showing up every time I attempt to bring up the game. The only way I can get out of the screen after it locks itself is by force closing it with ctrl/alt/del. I can not minimize it or close it by usual means. I have tried rolling back my computer, updating my drivers again, and have reinstalled the game client but still run in to this.
yes, happened day before last to me on an overflow that would have been a kill if the 50% phase hadn’t bugged on us.
you make a post stating how communication is lacking on overflows, and then say the overflow one kill, which I have been apart of twice doesn’t count because it is a guild. That guild is completely formed of randoms from overflows that wanted that lvl of communication you are pointing out so we banded together and did so. Even then we do not find a dead overflow and get 100+ people in, everything has been on populated overflows with us spamming ts so much people cant ignore it, get on, and listen to our organizers.
Comeing from a server that deals with a massive amount of campers in the Obsidian JP even when there isn’t a limited time achivement for it since the other 2 servers in our group view it just like holding a tower..and seem to like to work together as well….. If this is indeed a pvp zone such as Anet members have stated i have to wonder 3 things:
1. Where’s our outnumbered buff when we’re in there since im usualy faceing 5-15 people sitting at the start at all times of the day by myself
2. Where’s the que and cap for the area ? ive watched 30-40 people from the same server camp the place for hours, exsp when a new achiv comes and then have another 50 or so pour in once another server has enofe to take the current group. Honestly you think haveing that many people in a confined area of a JP is fine?
3. Why is there no access from SM for it? Its a main keep isn’t it? just like the others that can be taken over that have entrences to the JP, why not have it so if you have SM you spawn at the end of obsidian, adding another insentive to keep SM and a possible way around the “greifing” that some are complaining about.
Your already giveing us hundreds of badges through the chests (honestly i think that should have started much higher up in achivement points but whatev), and deminished the pvers need to do the JP instead of doing wvw for badges, so why still keep Obsidian JP the same way it is now? You make a jumping puzzle, say it is a pvp zone, yet put the achivements for it in other areas then WvW and make limited time achivements for it which appeal most to the achivement crazed pvers. Last time i checked you werent forceing a pvper to do instances or anything pve wise to get something done that was in the wvw/spvp tabs.
honestly put in a point from SM and take out the Badges from the chest if you go that way, or make it so that one server cant drasticly outnumber the others in there and problem solved everyone can stop kittening.

lifetime survivor, pumpkin carver, gold horder, master overkill, multiple slayer and weapon master achivement lvls were lost for me as well. I still have a the golden and master carver tital but i no longer have the last lvl compleated. Lost over 100 achivement points in all
Although i understand what Anet is trying to do, and dont mind that they are removeing the “zerg rez”, I do not agree with how they have handled this Dungeon patch. It was a stupid idea to remove things first, and then tell everyone the fine tuneing would come in a later patch (which mind you, they have not set a date for releaseing)
Basicly you guys have done something along the lines of giveing a hungry person a plate and saying the food is comeing next week. What are we suppost to do with just a plate untill the rest arrives except throw it at the person that gave it to us.
very pour management indeed. Anyone who thought this was a good corse of action should be fired. None of the dungeon changes that were implimented, cept fractal bugs, that have been around for months trump looking at all the fights and bosses and balanceing them imo. That should have been done first.

Quick Notes: Slightly insain close knit group of people that like to kill lots of things.
Im currently searching for a medium to largish sized structured guild that has a good amount of pve people, enjoys WvW, has a active vent or teamspeak, and has an active night crew since my usual playing times are after 8pm to 4-5 am est.
ive struck out so far with guilds that have supposedly got nighttime groups so i figured i would try my luck here. My server is Stormbluff isles for the moment, but i would be interested in changing to another server that is consistent in wvw for the right guild.
