Ashantara.8731 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) You can preview it here: https://cdn.ncwest.com/cms/hkbagbfc/gw2-eod-primemtx-header-1.gif The GW2 newsletter mentions that this skin will be released later in the month. What are your opinions? Personally, I am not into kitschy, cutesy, furry stuff. But most importantly, I would prefer to finally see some good looking Golem skins for the ugly Mechs rather than Jade Bot skins.

mungozen.2379 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 It’s fine. Since all players have access to the Jade Bot it was inevitable that Anet would monetize it with skins. It would be cool if Jade Mechs could be skinned and or dyed, but the same could be said for any pet profession/espec as well. However I don’t see specific professions getting pet skins and leaving others without that option. This is why Jade Bot skins make sense, say good buy to your gems. 8 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus.6415 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If only anet could get back to creating skins that fit into their world.... this is just digusting. 23 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Before twinkle-faerie catball, I would have thought dieselpunk Charr bot, magitech Asuran bot, Aetherblade steampunk bot, and jury-rigged Engineer bot would have been go-to skins to develop in keeping with the world. But by now ANet clearly knows the taste of those who spend money on skins. And twinkle-faerie catball it is.

Nine Inch Snails.7963 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Jade Bots are really only viewable by the player when active and not by other players. If someone wants to spend money on that then fine. It's like mail carriers that are also only really seen by the user. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following in the Asian direction, jade mech skin: cat girl robot in a maid uniform or swimsuit. Next up, succubus minions for necro. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mezuzel.4987 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Meh. Why buy a skin for something you only see when you're stacking up on protocols? No thanks. Mech skins, on the other hand, I'd probably go for. Edited July 14, 2022 by mezuzel.4987 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajinSoul.4512 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I am very liberal when it comes to purchasing skins for stuff even when I won't use it much but a Jade Bot skin seems incredibly pointless. If it weren't for the occasional downed healing skill/personal waypoint I wouldn't even notice that I have a Jade Bot. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Screw that cuddly cat. I want a traditional asuran styled golem that I can dye red to go with my Inquest themed character. Or just let me dye the jade bot. That would work as well. Edited July 14, 2022 by Trevor Boyer.6524 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like something ported from TERA I completely agree. So many things get released that clash heavily with this setting. In a world of medieval fantasy, war torn and nearly obliterated landscapes, giant feline war forged races…there is a random soldier with a plush mount, an eyesore confetti infusion and fluffy cat jade bot. To each their own, but it seems to me personally that the artistic integrity of a game world would come first…I guess they have no choice if this is the kind of stuff that sells… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it specifically states that it is a skin release for the Jade Bot? ----- If so, even if the skin is not something that offends your sensibility just because it's a plushie, would any of you have bought it anyways especially since Jade Bots are generally not visible. If you won't buy it regardless, so why the hate? Let those who enjoy such things finance our game developments.
