Puck.3697 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I think it's intentional. Over 50% of the selling point to doing legendaries is their effects and more compared to normalised weapons. So if they release cool skins more accessible and simply drive all weapons to look amazing, they'd devalue legendaries by quite a amount. We have bows which shoot animalistic spirits at the targets like the game has plenty of very creative weapons. And even past that the game does defintly have some amazing weapons you can choose from.

And we don't think that this isn't by design? Of course Anet would prefer players to purchase from the cash shop. It's a trend that's been going on for years at this point. Why anyone is still surprised by this is somewhat astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be less that people are surprised and more that people are disappointed that the weapons that can be gained ingame are not equal in quality.

medivh.4725 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Instead of giving it a RGB treatment, you could consider stripping the effects of the ones overly done? This way you give another alternative whiles keeping the original piece. At current the only set I'd like to see in more colors are the Inquest Mark 2 weapons. Can we throw it into mystic forge along with a color dye of choice and create the color version we fancy? Other really well done ones are the PVP ascended Mist Lord's range. Very decent very high quality. Love it. Bows which shoot animated projectiles is a nice touch. Can the team dig more into expanding with different kinds of projectiles, with various effects? Sword stowed can have scabbard as it is appropriate. And adds a dimension to the ongoing fashion wars For rifle are we missing the assualt rifle models? Because they look so tactical and highly tradable at TP. Noticed there is no spear blade in game. The ones that has a pointy tip with blade. It is a very common weapon used in ancient wars. I guess it could be put in as a staff. There is many different spear blade designs which GW2 can tap into. These are such age old tradition weapons nobody should have claims or rights on. Other materials to explore on: Medieval, Damascus steel, Grow in the dark, Carbon fiber, Weapon with running light, a Viking or King's Royal series, a Jewel studded sword/series, a budget bamboo series, a full black spar training weapon series skins etc etc etc. Pretty generic so no copyright problems. Take a walk into a real weapon shop for inspiration sometime. I seen in this game weapons skins that are not being introduced as a full and complete set. So probably the design team want to focus on the quality then quantity of things. Edited July 7, 2021 by medivh.4725 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I don't read well, it's that you don't understand that your opinion about the level of creativeness and originality of the weapon sets is irrelevant because it's subjective. It's not about you. Anet doesn't cater to you in GW2. Let's get to the core here ... what's the point of your thread?

Anet doesn't cater to you in GW2. You seem to only want to make this into a singular thing which isn't. Not a one person thing. (You don't read do you?) I have a hard time communicating with you as you can't read? Also not too subjective as original content has been seen or percieved as lacking. And I did mention the reasons. It is okay to not agree, not okay to make personal attacks. Nobody even mentioned about weapon but one of my guild mates after checking out the Dragon Bash festival new weapon series, said it is just another rgb treatment, not as exciting. No interest. Still think it is a one person thing? I think it is reasonable expectation of fans to want to see something new.

Actually reading through this forum it does seem like you vs all the rest of the forums, which does strike me as definitelly "a one person thing" Just my 2c Oh and btw I like boreal sets (all three of them) and Stormcaller/Charged Stormcaller sets. the only one of recent weapon sets I didn't get into would be volcanic stormcaller, but that's because the smoke FX obscured all of the weapon, which kinda ruins the point for me, personally - I would not mind if someone else liked it tho. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not. There is related thread been posted which I will not repeat. Also comments that more or less says the same thing. I stick to my view I have boreal sets too. I too did not particularly enjoy smoke FX blocking out the weapon. But maybe it is just both of us. Edited July 7, 2021 by medivh.4725 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's continue ... you don't think any of the weapon sets have creativity or originality and you made a thread about it ... now what? You made this thread for a reason. You blasted me about a post in made over 2 weeks ago because of that reason. Now you don't think that reason is important enough to talk about? Why? because you realize how nonsensical it is to complain about aesthetics of content made for millions of players who all have their own opinion about what is creative and original? You said you think it's reasonable players see something new ... and lots of players don't share your opinion about how 'not new' the weapon sets Anet has released are ... you don't speak for everyone. You speak for you ... and Anet can't cater to your individual tastes of what is 'enough' creativity and originality. So you are wrong ... and do yourself a favour ... DON'T reply to me if you don't want me to have a discussion with you because I WILL make discussion happen.
