Ronin.4501 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We have skins for mounts, skins for skiffs, skins for weapons and armor; there were even 'skins' available for ranger pets provided you played enough in GW1 via the Hall of Monuments. Why not offer some variation to necromancer minions? For example: - various undead versions of the current playable races: asura, charr, human, norn, sylvari. - cute fluffy undead bunnies - a hoard of undead quaggans (my personal favorite) - risen minions - awakened minions. The list goes on and on. I'd definitely be willing to shill out 1000-1600 gems to reskin my necromancer minions (and I don't even use minion builds anymore!! but I certainly see plenty of players who do). 21 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Sounds good to me. Different colored virtuoso daggers would be nice as well, not every outfit goes with magenta. I do hope they also make jade mech skins, something more pleasant to look at. I am so tired of those giant green abominations stomping around. Anyway, someone should be around shortly to tell you to use the forum's search function. (What they actually mean is: you should respond to an old thread rather than start a new one.) Necro-ing an old thread about minion skins would be rather fitting in this case. Edited May 23, 2023 by Zebulous.2934 8 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boz.2038 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Class customization is an entire huge area of monetization left untapped, and I have no idea why. 9 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idpersona.3810 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'd rather see class feature reskins added as in game collections/achievements rather than gem store buys. I think it would make more sense that way. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Bat.1570 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'd be willing to spend more on Asura themed skins for the engineer (mech, turrets, kits) than I would a new expansion. I'd rather it be in-game collections, but at this point I'll take whatever method they offered. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stx.4857 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Necro minions, ranger pets, Mechanist mechs…. These are all things that would be incredible if they had customization options. Either earned in game in some way, or on the gem store. I see this as an easy win for A-Net, hopefully they can deliver this sometime in the near future. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you left out incubus and succubus.... Or heres an idea , let us entrap demon souls and bend them to our will ingame. Could be a nice little sideline for necros, why must everything be shop shop shop, then people wonder why we get flat content like this last patch. Maybe put more into the game than the shop Edited May 25, 2023 by Tiviana.2650 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well damnit, now I feel bad. But I see your point too...if you're too specific in your attempt to 'poke fun' (or otherwise in my case) the actual forum police 'award' you a few points for your effort, so better to play it vaguely even if it means the result falls flat. Cheers to you as well! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABYRD.9278 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I would love to see skin packs for Necro minions. It would help us love our little morphs and let players stand out, and let us sync up looks better 💖 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk.7014 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 This is something I've always wanted. I really hate the default skins for the necro pets... Also, can we please hide their names! We have been complaining about this for years. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibit.6259 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Doubt they will invest creating skins that can only be used by one class. Apart from the ranger pets which even you don't really fully categorise as really skin, all the skins you mentioned can be used across multiple classes. Skins are source of revenue for anet so they will create ones that they can ensure will generate a stable income. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins are source of revenue for anet so they will create ones that they can ensure will generate a stable income. It's not quite the same but they have created skins for less commonly used weapons. For example longbow can only be used by 3 professions (and not always a popular choice for those 3) but they've made gem store skins for it. Necromancer may only be 1 profession but it's a very popular one. Also this doesn't have to be something they do only for necromancers, there's been a lot of requests for different skins or effects for profession abilities. Different skins for the mechanist golem is a common one, and different colour schemes for profession skills. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki.9450 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Customisable spell effects and minions/pets is something that's missing in this game, for sure. Offering these sorts of things as in-game rewards or gem store purchases (or both) would be real nice and can help add to that "RPG" feel. (At the very least I'd like to see other colours of the mechanist's 'little' buddy so that I don't confuse one for an enemy in mech-heavy areas in Cantha/Skywatch.) "I don't like [effect]." They can achieve pleasing these sorts by implementing an option to hide other player's custom spell/creature effects. This can also be used for those who think they may get confused in competitive. This would keep the appearances client-side, so I can always see my other-coloured virtuoso daggers, but if I were to step foot in PvP for some reason, my opponents would recognize them as the default daggers. Apply this to whatever other customisable things, like ranger pets, necromancer minions, engineer mechs and turrets, general spell effects should they get to be customised (blue fire for elementalist?), etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindredPhoenyx.8976 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Sure, I can get behind this. But can I please earn it in game and not shill out money or convert my gold to gems for it? That'd be great. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
