I'm not likeing the fact that 90% of GW:EN's weapons, armors... and 100%of the pets are just reskined objects from the past campaigns!

First thing... I feel real bad for those that had some of the games most unique weapons like Dwarven Axe, Runic Blades, and Stygian Reavers that APPARENTLY drop in GW:EN now! It almost makes HA a failure! First thing I propose, is some NEW kickass skins that drop ONLY in the HoH chest and NEVER in PvE. Animated skins seem the best for making people want to HA and such again, like when the Tormented weapons came out.

Next, the pets are... a huge failure. We didn't need any more wolves... now we have like three color's. It's dumb! I was hoping for something CrAzY like an Elephant pet, or a camel, or something thas freaking gangster like them!

And almost lastly... the armor. -_- I wish I could hack into the game and burn all of the armor in Droks. Seriously. Only "cool" armor are the gloves... that don't match anything and are just for looks! Everyone loves the gloves and such but they would love them 1000000000000000000 times more if they had a whole set of armr, like Chaos Helm's and such. That would be awesome!

So please Anet, fix the piece of $}{1+ that is GW"EN's collectibles, OR take note for GW2. There's a rumor that it may drop in 2008... DON'T LET IT HAPPEN. I don't want GW2 to come out until very late 2009 or early 2010 because if it comes out any earlier... than there rusing it! And that's retarded!

People discuss what I have just wrote and tell me back your opinion, please.

I don't want any 'kickass' skins to drop in HoH.
That means that the best way to make money in PvE is not to actually play PvE but play PvP!!!!

I think ANet's introduction of Dwarven Axes and Sephis Swords into PvE is going to bridge that gap and fix the market for high-end PvP items.

But I don't want GW2 out in 2008 either. I want it out in 2009, so that it'll be perfect

GW:EN a disappointment? I absolutely disagree. I love the new lands (As far as I've seen them) as well as the many new aspects of the game.

The only thing that still needs serious attention is the Hall of Monuments. (Account-wide customized minipets, account-based HoM and in less degree a better placement choice system for the items in monuments)

Actually must say GW:EN is the most fun I have had in GW's in a long time.

Armor~ Can't really comment on it as haven't paid that much attention to it.

Rare skins now dropping in PvE can't be a bad thing, at least they will come down to a reasonable price range and be more casual player attainable.

So meh to each his own!

Charrbane · Aug 31, 2007, 10:04 PM // 22:04

GW:EN is awesome. I don't see a problem with having a variety of wolf pet colors or any of that other stuff. As for rare skins dropping.... excuse me I'm off to play.

NoXiFy · Aug 31, 2007, 10:05 PM // 22:05

Please note, I said NOTHING about the PvE play, I'm sure it's wonderful! The music is awesome and so is all of the stroyline. My rant is about, ARMOR, PETS, and WEAPON SKINS.

MSecorsky · Aug 31, 2007, 10:06 PM // 22:06

Bah. Close this thread, delete Nox's account and bar him from ever playing anything with a "G" or "W" anywhere in the title ever again.

Seriously, how many ways are there to depict a damn sword? This "just reskinning things" complaint is getting silly.

"Seriously, how many ways are there to depict a damn sword? This "just reskinning things" complaint is getting silly."

Probably thousands, your statement makes no sense imo.

I would say some of the best looking weapon skins are from Prophecies/Tyrian.

Don't slam the door behind you.

You mean you havent played it yet?

guffey · Aug 31, 2007, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I usually dont even care what my weapon or armor looks like... i could care less about cool looking pets. I have my bear that will interupt you and im fine with it. as long as the weapons and armor have the stats that i want im fine with them looking normal. why spend the big bucks to get a cool looking weapon when you can get a collectors weapons + a few mods and its exactly the same...

So your complaining about something you have no first hand knowledge of? Play the game before saying what a huge disappointment it is.

Yes, it's called reskinning, get a clue.

Placing new textures on an existing model. Swords have certain properties:

There are a relatively few ways to conceptualize a sword's shape if you want to ensure it will appear to functionally be a sword.

Sure, you could have a Sponge Bob Square Pants shaped sword, but people might not recognize it as a sword.

Thus, you have reskins of sword models. The expansion takes place on the same world of Tyria just like the campaigns, not some other dimension.

GWEN is really awesome game, best GW so far, and I'm really enjoying it. I don't remember that I have been ever complaining about Guild Wars on these forums, BUT these warrior armors are total crap, and they are just pure re-skins of older version of armors, really awful.. I like everything else but those armors just kill the fun for me, because I was really looking forward to buying a new set or two

Crom The Pale · Aug 31, 2007, 10:53 PM // 22:53

In general the expansion is great, there are some problems...

The armor is nothing special, would like to see a little more creativity there...

As for rare skins droping, I love it!

PvE skills need some improvement, some are fine but others are just unuseable.

I am ticked off that they nerfed Feral Aggression after the skill was on Wiki for a month previous and was in the pre sale event. They knew all along exactly what the skill was and it was perfect, so why change it?

As for the pets, well I'll take my Charr hero over a Charr pet, so I guess I'm happy with that.

Over all it was a very nice addition.

Taki · Aug 31, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

The man has a point. If they had stuck to maybe 2-3 new armors per profession they might have had time to do something creative, something impressive, something with less suck.

There's also an extensive amount of wepaon/sword designs that they could have drew inspiration from if the artistic juices had been used up on previous concepts/games/side projects/etc.

As for pets, the new races, areas, and lore should have introdruced some wild ideas for them. But no, we get black and white crap cause they're cool like dye.

Simply reskinning existing models reaks of lack of effort and/or time. I suspect both but the point remains that it was a very dissapointing end result. Previous concepts I've seen from their artists could not be described less than amazing, so the talent is there, and the art probably was too, yet hardly anything went in the game to show it. That means that someone dropped the ball on the team or they just sold the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO out IMO.

Anphobia · Aug 31, 2007, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Well I was happy with the new swords in a way.

I once seen a Zealous Runic Blade of Fortitude (req 9) sell for 100k + XXX ecto's (can't remember the exact amount) and just there I bought a GW:EN Green Runic Blade skin with the same stats for 50k, fantastic!

Terra Xin · Sep 01, 2007, 12:19 AM // 00:19

I disagree with you entirely. I like gwen... I like the pets 'and' the armor

lacasner · Sep 01, 2007, 12:34 AM // 00:34

It's not worth the 40 dollars, yet it isn't bad. My objective opinion.
