Heisen.2315 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) We have gotten the Cuddly Cat Jade Bot skin (Gemstore) and the latest Candlewick Sprite Jade Bot skin (BLC) in a short period of time and I would argue that it's very likely that there are more Jade Bot skins yet to come. I personally like being able to costumize my account so I don't mind however I do believe it's a mistake on ArenaNet's end for not letting us display the skin when interacting with the Jade Bot Terminal.

Dib.4612 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Most likely we'll (hopefully) get some Asura golems. Additionally I'd say they oughta let us put capital letters in golem names so we can do stuff like M.O.X. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather seems that's just how their naming system works. It's like that for players as well as ranger pets, so I guess they'd have to code an exception in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harak.8397 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 By the sheer amount of Mechs I see around, I am seriously hoping to see skins for them sooner rather than later. I mean Jade bot too for what it's worth but it's never there for long so a lesser offender in my eye. At this point, I'll take almost anything that isn't jade green... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that should work. Although the addition of dots, dashes and numbers certainly would make it more bot-like. Heck you can't even write the default bot name, CJ-1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I don't understand how anet dropped the ball so badly with jade mechs not having skins, but instead monetising a floaty blob we see for a scant few seconds (unless using a particularly long zip line). If anet had started to offer minion/summons skins shortly after HoT, that could have been very lucrative. I guess the obstacle would be transparency in competitive modes? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfshade.9251 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I was a bit worried at first when I heard about jade-bots but I don't actually notice other players' bots ingame. Even so, that cuddly cat abomination still reeks of "cheap eastern MMO with no cohesive art style". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapaer.7581 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This 100%. Why is the skin I purchased not displaying when I do e.g. the Canach Coin collection event? Really hope they fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im against selling skins for what is part of our classes rotation spells. Thats getting a little slippery slope, what i would like is for them to have a workbench in game to modify the mechs golem looks. Do a prerequisite to acquire a workbench and you can change your golem colors or physical appearance. Tying something to the gemstore that is part of mechs core rotation is bad form 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Having the jade bots appear near a bench would be a nice little thing. Also, the Candlewick Sprite doesn't have an animation quirk in the Hero panel. Even the recently added Playful Ghost has one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cute to have it out while switching out it's various accessories. I fully appreciate they kept it to where only the player sees their own jade bot so we don't have a sea of little jade orbs popping out but making use of the skins is challenging.

Keymaster.7362 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 If you look back, the living storys always did give the main masterys from their expansions a huge upgrade. Gliding did get fighting skills in specific maps, mounts did get Utility Skills and we did get the fastest and the most flexible ones of them. I really hope we will also see huge upgrades for the Jade Bot next year in LS6 to justify the skins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Whoever is designing those: please stop, those are absolutely cringeworthy. Not only is the "cutesy wootsy" level unbearably high (with a sugary frosting on top), they also do not fit into the art design of the game. Please stop ruining it any further turning GW2 visually into a Korean MMO (or a comic book game).

Agreed about the aesthetics but we have had glowing surfboards used as swords since launch. It might be too late... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can always make matters worse. 😉 And they are definitely doing so since EoD, and with these Jade Bot skins in particular. ☹️ Edited October 5, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
