Kelly.7019 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Here are the new weapon skins available if you happen to be away from home and want to take a peak. As always weapon skins cost 1 Black Lion Claim Ticket made from 10 Black Lion Claim Ticket Scraps found in Black Lion chests. So what do you think do we like the skins?

Zexanima.7851 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Meh. Colors are too vibrant for my tastes. I don't mind the over all design though, specially the dagger and staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 too many angles. I like simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky.4861 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 They're quite boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I kinda like the dagger, the staff and the axe skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannah.4012 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 They're uglier than Abaddon's, and that was hard to achieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 They're just a rehash of the Dragon's Jade weapons, though? Well, some are better and some are worse, but very similar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think they're inspired by the Draconic Scythe in GW1: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Draconic_Scythe (No idea why I can't get a link to the image working, but you can see it on that page.)The staff is identical and the rest have a similar style, especially the dragon head.(Now I'm tempted to get the staff, and remake my GW1 dervish as a revenant.)

ugrakarma.9416 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 i very liked them, we need a "red dragon" theme thats inst primordus(lavae/fire/stone). also it can fit a "bloody" character too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise having more options. It's a simple way for them to add things for people to enjoy and work towards, without massively restructuring their rewards for festival content.

Super Hayes.6890 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Draconic Aegis from GW1 opportunity missed... Also, am I the only one that wants the current shield but without the dragon head part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime I really wonder whom the devs listen to when they come up with these ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime I really wonder whom the devs listen to when they come up with these ideas.Using process of elimination we are two people closer to the answer... I like the concept on these skins but they don't quite work for me. Something about them is off for my taste. I can't pinpoint what exactly.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They look as unfinished as the awakened skins. The focus is the only really interesting thing about the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Another Set with absolute disregard to Aquatic weapons.Another scythe staff to rub salt into the open hearts of Dervish fans.And all of them are ugly.As usual, I'm not going to bother with this one.

Game Nurse.2619 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They are GORGEOUS!! I love them!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamont.5973 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I find them kind of gaudy and, yet, since I tend toward browns, blacks and greys on my characters' clothing they actually work from some of my toons because of the contrast with my armor. So in that sense I like them and got several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 What is sad is that a scythe designed by a fan for an ingame reward and added ingame as a reward for a difficult 12 man "raid" is now being used to promote rng lootboxes 10 years later. I understand part of contest was any submissions would now be owned by arenanet, but it is annoying that anet is making actual money from an item designed by a player.
