Stormblade.4587 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Aww man, maybe I should have waited before I picked the shield (it was the more interesting weapon of the set to me lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandaer.8105 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Loved the first set. Love this one. Still a beautuful surprise guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltaicbore.8012 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I've no interest in either the original or the updated skins, but am super pleased about this sort of dev response. Thanks for listening, guys! This feels like a welcome shift amid a lot of "what were they thinking" moments going around these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crepuscular.9047 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 the bigger question is why it thought to be acceptable quality (compared to the high standard of art assets Anet had pride yourself on over the year) in the first place?

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Since some players prefer the first iteration, I'd guess that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't know what all the updated skins will look like yet. We have a geneal idea from the preview above, but it looks like only the blades of the sword and axe are glowing, and it doesn't reach all the way down the sword blade. So there might be variation in how it affects the other weapons too. I admit it's a relatively minor detail, but it's still enough that it might change which of my character/s would use them and therefore which weapons I get.I got my second weapon box today and I'm waiting until after the update to choose so I can try to get one I might actually use.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, just clarifying why someone might still want to hold off making a choice even though, as you said, whichever weapon they choose will be updated.

flog.3485 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I appreciate the effort of updating the weapons but in the future, could we get some particle effects that doesn’t rely on golden aura ? I mean, it sorta feels redundant with the weapons that you get acquire in festival of the four winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saharo.5381 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My main gripe is why aren't weapons that are more Canthan themed released during... Lunar New Year. Why the same old (and imo ugly) Krytan set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won’t be both skins, just the same one with altered graphics. Same as when they update legendaries.There’s nothing to remove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This seems like a strange comment but why "Guild Wars 2 Team"..? I thought GW2 had literally dozens of teams..I presume you meant to credit the weapons/art team here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah.2967 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's nice to see some positivity. Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well this is pretty cool.I was disappointed with the weapon skins as well but I was not expecting Anet to give them an upgrade.I chalked it up to taste mostly, some liked them and others didn't.. that's pretty much normal for just about any cosmetic thing.I do hope the original skins are kept as well though.Just because a bunch of us don't care for them doesn't mean others should loose them due to a re-skin.Everyone wins if we get both :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipomoea Jalapa.6897 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's great to receive some candid words & actions from you. Thank you!I like the planned upgrades. I play with the camera all the way zoomed out, and I like shinies and other effects that are noticeable at that camera level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffler.1257 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Can we get underwater versions as well since underwater skins were discontinued and this is one of the few sets that has them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobrakon.3108 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but if you could extend the period for which these can be obtained would also be a nice gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
