Dear Anet,
I finally obtained Winter’s presence. It’s super cool and looks amazing. HOWEVER!…
I do not have a problem with the requirements, or the time/gold investment. What I do have a problem with, is that it is a shoulder skin. This goes for Nightfury and any future effects.
This means
1) Incompatible with any shoulder skins (including the awesome scarf that I had to buy in the gem store!) being a skin itself. The scarf and winter’s presence seems like they belong together but alas, no go.Solstice,
2) Does not work with outfits. Including the Winter/snow themed Winter’s Solstice, Arctic explorer, and the Fancy Winter outfit. Again, combinations that seem like they should go together.
It doesn’t seem like such a big deal to some, but with the requirements of this skin/effect, it feels demoralizing to be limited in my creativity.
RESOLUTION: Since we seem to be coming out with character effects, please create a slot just for them. This can be put next to the outfit slot, and have it’s own hide/show checkbox. This would allow for many more armor combinations, and make character effects it’s own cosmetic item.
Please leave constructive criticism, and a word from a dev would be nice. At least let me know if it’s on the table
