I say the folks who got the skin removed now need to compensate those completely kittened by it’s removal if said people do NOT like the new flamekissed skin. It’s only fair – I’ve heard complaint after complaint of how 800 gem armor made their work for 120 gold worthless and read countless threads about “doing the math”.
Well, your complaints cost some people 120 gold or more. No, not everyone knew that was T3 armor and “controversial” – I didn’t realize until I came to the forums. I held off buying because of the very vocal crap on the forums. Others? Not so lucky. So now, I know of five people completely kittened because they bought exotic armor, earned the gold to buy human T3 light, transmuted it for the skin and then transmuted it to flamekissed yesterday… and now Anet won’t fix that. Is it their fault? Do they deserve to be out that gold and have to earn it all over again?
Please tell me how much gold all of you complaining lost out on because flamekissed existed for 24 hours.
Do you think people were kitten ed just because of the gold? I don’t think so. I was kitten ed because they were ruining the one thing unique to the race I picked and I know a lot of people were upset for the same reason. And stop making false assumptions how they won’t get compensated.
Why should humans only retain the right to keep the skin when in fact they are the ones who complained about it’s existence in the first place? Hypocrite much.
It’s either that, or all cultural armor should be available to everyone. Anet is probably not going to do the latter.
On a completely different note, I find it quite ironic that everyone who liked flamekissed keeps saying things like “anet giving in to the whiners” while they are in fact whining themselves.
And I like how these same people are acting as if there were only 10 of those “whiners” while it was one of the biggest outrages on this forum and also over 1000 (probably over 2000 combining all threads) upvotes on GW2 reddit all against the armor being added in the store. This is what the community wanted not just a couple of whiners. The whiners are coming out now, trying to make it feel like it wasn’t a big deal.
This. Unfortunately, Arenanet is just following what the community asks for. It’s not the company’s problem, trying to please the customers, the problem is that the customers are… well, don’t get me started.
The real problem is a minor section of the community cried and now another section of the community is starting to find out about it but only after Anet sided with the prior.
Yes and if you say anything that even targets that said group in anyway anet will delete your post and give you warning so becareful what you say mods are watching this thread like crazy! things like QQers/Whiners may not be ok… someone may QQ or Whine about it! :-)
So true…. Its just a shame they couldn’t wait for the votes to get tallied in a game that houses millions when a mere handful sheds a tear.
Oh, let’s be honest there. Both groups are a tiny minority. Majority of players neither have a cultural set, nor bought (or intended to buy) Flamekissed version. If we’re going to be pedantic, most likely the majority of gw2 players don’t even play the game anymore (i’d be surprised if there’s more than a million of active accounts at the moment, and even there i’m being generous).
So, the case already concerns only “a minor section of the community”. And both sides are equally good at crying.Also, voting would be useless. I honestly doubt that Anet has resources to introduce 14 more cultural reskins (20, if we consider the fact that female versions of charr and asura armor sets would need to be made from scratch. Even more when counting all those armor that would need to be redone for charr). Since they couldn’t introduce all cultural armor reskins to the gem shop, the only(1) sensible option was to remove the one already available.
While i’d really like them making alll culturals widely available, i just don’t see it happening, considering that they already have big problems in generating content.
(1) Well, they could also remove racial restrictions on culturals, but it would still require them to do charr versions of other armor, non-charr versions of charr armor, and female versions of charr/asura. That’s still a lot of work.
Not only people with the T3 set were upset. It was also a lot of people who own a cultural set, no matter the race or set. How does that sound like a minority to you?
Where do you get the fact that being a minority means you have no rights?
I find this idea quite uncivilized…
Where did i say minority means you have no rights? If anything is uncivilized is you trying to make argument where there is none.

How do you call that a minority? Have you actually been around forums and other sites? It’s safe to say this was a majority of the player base.
I’m glad they listened to majority of the community and I’m sure they will find a solution for people who put the skin on their existing t3.
Well I am kitten ed for the complete opposite reason you all are. I rather pay the $10 and buy the skin that looks similar but DIFFERENT to the cultural armor. albeit they should no have any race able to buy it, idk how they could get that done but make it happen. I was looking forward to buying the light armor skin for my HUMAN elementalist when she hits level 80, but now I cannot and this new armor will probably look stupid based on how much crying is going on. /rant.
It looks exactly the same, some silly particle effects don’t make it a new set.
Thanks Anet. Please never make the same mistake again! And stop with recycled armor!
Hi, I was really disappointed to see this armor turned back into what it was before the changes. I really got used to it and it actually allowed me to dye it the way I always wanted it but now the dye channels have been reversed making it impossible to get back to it.
It’s pretty obvious… sales are down, gem sales are down, people are leaving for MMO’s that are currently in Beta…
They are making a few final cash grabs to get as much money as they can before this game goes belly up.
After this patch I’m sad to say I agree with you.
Why couldn’t they just take those unavailable sets from PvP and “flame kiss” them? People would actually appreciate that but no better ruin the little race diversity there is to the game.
I’m sad to see this happening. Terrible move, worst one yet.
I want an official response! What could possibly gave them the idea to use cultural armor???
I loved the idea of every race having a unique set of armor for each type. I considered this armor to be worn by elite human spellcasters. This is immersion breaking and it ruins a lot for me. It’s not just about the gold it took me it’s also about the feel of the game.
Too bad they also removed T2 medium glow, pants look like crap again and the horrible dye channels are back. THANKS ANET!
They should’ve just roll back t3 light. I actually had a nice thing going with t2 med but it’s impossible now ;(
1. Putting cultural armor in Gem store!
I will never look at this game the same again or Anet. Great job!
Would like to know this kind of stuff in advance so I don’t waste any gold and money on transmutation stones.
Biggest slap in the face from Anet yet.
The biggest disappointment i ever felt in this game. I can’t believe they went through with something like that.
I want my 120g back and 6 transmutation stones. Thanks for ruining the one thing that was unique to the race i picked.
Hes so Kawaii! =^.^=
This has to be the creepiest Asura I’ve ever seen. I laughed so hard, such a good job.
No. No more wings and especially not ones like those suggested. The current wing models in game are all inspired with something existing there ( Tequatl, Shatterer, Bats). There are no angels or fairies in Tyria.
I have noticed male humans turn their head slightly in the direction you face the camera (not targeting anyone) but female humans and Sylvari don’t.
If you compare the new toxic mantle skin with the creature behind Scarlet there are some obvious similarities.
So this means matching armor glow with body glow is not possible? T2 medium only glows white now and can’t be affected with dyes…
But why does it only glow white? My T2 medium, which was a MAJOR pain to dye, also got an update and it only glows white no matter what.
I’ve never understood why people try to gamble for their precursor. So many horror stories on the forum, where people throw in the cost of the precursor and get nothing to show for it, with someone only coming out on top once in a blue moon.
Yet people still do it and complain, I laugh.
“OMG U NEED PRECURSOR DROP OR GR8 RNG TO GET LEGGIES”
My best drop ever was my beloved Mini, Mr Fahrenheit, on my first run of Molten Foundry. Of course, he wasn’t sold, so it’s hardly contributed to anything.
Apart from that, I’ve had maybe 2 drops worth over 10g, the highest being 15g.
Look at the picture below, and tell me again you need good RNG to get nice things.
RNG is RNG, if you don’t like it, don’t participate in it.
So what you are saying is that is you are better off spending real money and/or exploit TP when there was a chance?
They should really match your body glow with all armor glow.
Oh and why is female t1 light marked that it glows when it actually doesn’t?
@Kristen: Wen can we expect Sylvari cultural armor problems to be addressed? I’m talking about things like dye spots not working (light t1 and 2 female) and missing glow (med t2, light t3) or part of the set being totally irrelevant to the set (female light t2 mantle).
My game works just fine for me personally. I’m not the only person having problems with the hair looking lower quality. There’s plenty of other posts about it going on. People playing with a lot more graphic intensive settings are reporting that same problem.
The in game graphics setting are not going to sufficient.
Let me give you an example, did you know that guild wars 2 has for some odd reason a white filter that makes things not clear and blurry? Which you ss shows.
anyways, just trying to help, well not you, but anybody that is complaining.
SweetFx won’t fix the problem op pointed out. It’s not just the new haircuts all haircuts look different ingame.
I agree this game does a terrible job on the RP part. People saying this is a waste of time don’t realize this would improve the game for everyone not just role players, making it more immersive. I would personally find this game far more entertaining.
I agree, they should also let us dye it with every dye not just the basic ones. It’s impossible to match the accessory with armor in many cases.
I honestly don’t understand why anyone would want even darker dyes than already available. You lose all the details on the armor ending up looking like a flat blob of nothingness. No one would appreciate your “effort”.
Hi I noticed that some armor parts like t1 light shoulders and t2 light helm for have dye areas that don’t really affect anything at all. For instance t2 helm has 3 dye areas but only 2 actually work the third one doesn’t seem to do anything at all.
I cringe every time I see Sylvari in clothes, I just can’t help it but I get images of trees and flowers wearing sweaters in my head >.<
I would never play this game again if they did that.
They did? Oh than the guide I’ve been reading is outdated. Thanks.
Any good reason why staff takes 8 (6+2) spirit wood planks for shaft and head while all other weapons require less materials?! Gs takes 6 (3+3).
I don’t think this thread is fair at all. There are only 2 faces that could go under teen category. There are at least 3 faces that could fit above 30. Op is overreacting heavily. There is a reason for all those facial sliders, if you can’t bother to use them then that’s totally your fault. I’m pretty good with human face design and I have no problem turning pretty much every face to look the way I want and different than the default one. Pretty much everyone here is complaining about something that can be easily changed with a slider.
When is the fix coming? Is it even coming?
Esc > Options > Graphics Options > Character Model Quality > Set to something higher.. You’re welcome.
Nope. This doesn’t help.
I hope they fix this fast, it’s driving me crazy.
Same here and nothing seems to fix it.
I feel this game turned into one big worldwide farm fest, starting with Gauntlet. Pretty much everyone is doing it and the message I get from the game is that doing anything else is wasted time and profit.
Hi could someone suggest me if I should buy a zodiac weapon from TP now or will the price drop/climb in the future?
Also wondering if trading gold for gems is a bad idea because the exchange dropped a lot? Will it ever go back to 30 gems for 1 gold?
After the last patch everyone’s weapons are stuck in their hands even when they are stowed.
Hi, after this patch all PC’s have their weapon in hands even if they are not in combat and i really want this fixed. I think it’s connected with culling removal because I had this happening in WvW before. Anyway I can’t stand it and need help.
Oh and changing the culling settings to highest doesn’t fix it.
