Weapon contest skins and release?

[SnowHawk.3615]

The contest winners were announced December 1st. So it's only been a month and 15 days but when can we expect to see the new skins? gemstore? or craftable? What do you all think?

Gemstore probably, but when? And will they do more things like it? I hope so

After the contest, they have to model it, texture it, add the usual "Won't come out exactly like the art and we took artistic priviledge to change certain parts and features", and so on and so on.It can and will take a while. Not just a little over a month.You know very well it will be gemstore.

And once all that is done it needs to fit into their release schedule.

For gem store items that's probably relatively easy - add it to the list on the next release day when there's not too much stuff already. For in-game items it's more complicated because of course they need content that awards it, and if it's anything more complicated than adding it to a vendor that will need testing and will need to fit into the release schedule. It might be something included with the next Living Story release, or if they want to do something more ambitious like new collections it might take longer.

So my guess is it will come alongside the next Living Story release at the earliest, but may be one or even two releases after that.

Also, they were on a holiday break.

I totally forgot about these and which ones were winners. Now I'm looking forward to them again. ^_^
