Dumat.1479 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hello.I would like to ask ArenaNet devs to return some old wardrobe items to the game. Most of them (but not all) are old pvp weapon and armor skins.Here is the list:1) ArmorGuild Watchman ShoulderguardsGuild Watchman LeggingsGuild Archmage ShoesLined Toymaker's Bag2) WeaponsStaff Primitive PillarDark Moon ShieldSpear Flame HarpoonSpear Legionnaire HarpoonMakeshift SpearWorn Voltaic SpearKrytan Harpoon GunWarden Harpoon GunGladium TridentHawk Trident - this skin was added to the game with December 1, 2020 update3) MinisMini Mr. Sparkles4) NoveltyGuild KiteThat's all from me. Maybe other players would like to add something.I also want to add this: when ArenaNet introduced Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock, they added some old pvp skins to it, but not all of them. Please Anet, if you can't add old pvp items from my list to the Legacy Armor Reward track or make similar reward track for weapons, at least add these skins to the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock.Please ArenaNet, I know a lot of skin and mini collectors will say "thank you" for an update like this.p.s. I tried many times to ask this since the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock introduction, it is time to ask again :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PvP skins could probably be added to the legacy reward track (which was created specifically to address missing PvP skins) and the weapon skins could probably be added to appropriate vendors.

And you are right, some vendor option or reward track option would be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Still some endless tonics that should have the ability to get placed into novelties... Mushroom King tonic springs to mind.Some of course can be used in recipes for other upgrades like mushroom king but that no different to the basic minis that are upgradeable.

Many of those weapons are part of existing sets (for example the Hawk Trident is part of the Ebon Vanguard weapon set) so they could be obtained in the same way as the others in the same sets.

I know there's other work-arounds, like using ground targeted skills, but I find it easier to do with a torch so having one always available is really helpful for me. On that basis I definitely think it should be available again.Maybe they could make it a reward for completing the race, to mirror the way it was originally available.

I just had this in my bank for years and when they made it a novelty I just added it to my collection of novelties without realizing you can't obtain it in the game anymore. Thank you for adding this to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos.4263 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The guild kite in particular is sorely missed. It's the best kite; it'd be nice if my newer guild members could acquire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessiejay.3625 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I hate to say exclusivity, but getting mini mr sparkles was a surprise reward for those of us that were buying gems (with $$ and not gold to gems). Unofficially, they stopped doing those surprise mailed rewards because people complained that non-gem buyers were denied access to, or not rewarded the same way as gem buyers were.

I know where the mini comes from. The problem is, that I didn't play during that month. I was playing since the release but had a break during November 2012 - January 2013. During the season 1 we had a lot of skins and items like this: you could only get them once. But then they changed their philosophy about it, and made every single season 1 item and skin obtainable... except this one mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a surprise, it was announced in advance to encourage people to buy gems. To keep it fair they could re-release it through the same promotion, so anyone who buys 4,000 gems within a given month gets it. Maybe shift it around to different times of the year each time, so people who aren't able to play as much in December or have other priorities for their money can do it at another time.

henry.1420 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Guild watchman/Guild archmage/Guild defender are the only original PVP armor sets that haven't been re-introduced yet, would be nice to add to legacy armor reward track. Also, similar to mini spackles, maybe celebration hat could return too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumat.1479 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Since we have much more communication lately, I bump up this post, maybe some dev will notice it.I really can't imagine, why it can be hard to reintroduce all the items from the list. I know a lot of veteran players who like to collect skins will be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumat.1479 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I want to give an update to this topic. Thanks to guys from wiki, we have nice full list of all skins that are unobtainable in the game: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_unobtainable_wardrobe_unlocksHope we will see them obtainable again one day.

Dumat.1479 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Great to see that ArenaNet added one of the items from my list to the game and gave us an easy way to obtain it. Hope we will be able to obtain more items from the list soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 They added another one! If Anet raises at least $118,000 for Extra Life in 2021 everyone who donated will get a mini Mr Sparkles! 😁 For some reason you have to go to Lion's Arch after the goal is reached to trigger the achievement, but still, it's a way to get the mini again, and very similar to the original method of buying 4,000 gems.
