War Machine skins returning when?

[Skaventide.8712]

I missed my opportunity to partake in both restructuring betas, but even if I did, 2 skins per account is a bit of a shame.

 

Is there any word/plan to add these skins back in at any point? If so, any ETA for that? I want the rifle and pistol.

Probably next alliance beta, and then however many other betas until after alliance release as a fully set.

The skins are the new timer for world restructuring release. 1 skin per beta, and we've had 6 (5) betas over the past few years with 16 weapons total. 

By my estimate, that puts the release at December 2035.

Putting them into an alternative Gift of Battle reward track (like they did with the EoD tracks from the latest "Living World" patch), where instead of a GoB, you can chose a Machine skin from the final chest would be my choice of acquisition, because I hope we won't get over a dozen "beta events" the next months (and years).

Considering they're only weapons skins, that is how they would most likely will deal with it eventually, much like the hero weapon skins that were tournament rewards but now in their own reward track and used as precursors to unlock the mistforged weapons on the skirmish vendor.

I figure we may get one maybe two more betas late this year, depending on how fast they want to progress development on the alliance feature(but I'm sure they're full on working on the expansion now).

This assumes no new wewpons until 2035. It might be an optimistic estimate.

Same as it ever was, all hands on deck to feed the pve map mill manhours...

WvW to get it's releases after the expansion is stable.
