Dantert.1803 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 So, I was excited about this world event, I think it is a great idea and I also enjoyed the Meta event one, it manages to give the players meaningful stuff to do.Still, today when I logged in, the first thing I did was checking out the big prise, the Shiny weapons skins....I was bummed out..I would understand if those were just part of a list of weapons sets added for an expansion, they look ok but they are not too impressive.I was expecting them to be Shiny, like the name says but even the upgraded version looks kind of boring and not worth the effort of collecting stuff to get them.Someone would say "sure you don't like it so you complain" or "it's enough that we are getting something for the current events" ...but the skritt in me says "gimme SHINIES!!!!"What is the point of putting rewards that you have to grind for when they look so boring?Please Anet, you are on the right track with these kind of events, keep it up, but give us the good stuff!

Mewcifer.5198 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I am a little disappointed but I'm not going to sweat over it. Not every new set of skins is going to be winners. And they added a bunch of really nice ones recently with the ectoplasmic stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It’s nice to have more weapon sets that are not just more visual clutter of special effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chichimec.9364 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Of the shiny weapons themselves the only one I actually liked and would want to get was the shiny rifle, though not the ultra shiny version. Still, the essence chests, or whatever they are called, currently are going for something like 2 gold on the trading post. Also, the Ultra Shiny title for getting the whole weapon set sounds cool. If the collection is not too onerous, I might do it all just for that title. :) @Turkeyspit.3965 posted a link to the recipes a few comments below this one and they don't look too bad, especially given the fact that there are only a few skins. I think I just might go for that Ultra Shiny title after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaboSoul.1204 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm disappointed that the "Shiny Pistol" skin is a reskin of the "Master Blaster" pistol. Makes me wonder if the other weapons are also reskins. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Be aware, the current recipe is a bug, and will be changed with a hot-fix to use Quartz Crystal instead of Charged Quartz Crystal.https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/948870/#Comment_948870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a number of people have mentioned they didn't get a node after the Behemoth. Someone filed a bug report so you might keep an eye on that to see what's up with that.@Inculpatus cedo.9234 Thanks for the heads up on the bug. That's good to know.
