Something that bothers me:

Why is the Asuran Wand, aswell as the other faction weapons, a blue weapon?

I know, I know, it's "just" prestige, and the "gold" has no real value, but am I the only one that is annoyed with the fact that you're going to have an intire inventory of nice gold, perfect weapons, and then 1 (or 2, high set ftw) "blue" asuran wands?

Why weren't they made gold, just like the destroyer and tormented weapons?

Don't get me wrong, it's a minor thing, and I can get over it, it's just annoying that one of the best looking wands, probably the only one that fits with a Blessed Chalice Monk offhand, has to be blue, instead of gold.

Are there any other people annoyed with this?

I was going to get an Asuran Staff but the fact that it is blue was the reason I didn't. As you stated it is a very lame reason not to get it, but I too like the golds.

Its a Collector item you craft them. Destroyer weapons and tormented weapons are prestigious and thats why they are gold.

Why does it even matter, blue gold purple or whatever, nobody can see it but you. And if you can't handle your own e-pride... :-P

Well, no, I can get over my e-pride. I just really like consistency.

The same reason I REALLY dislike the way how factions points, Lightbringer, ... keeps on increasing the amount of points U have once you reached the maxed tier. It would simply look alot better on screenshots and such to have it be the round number, and then whilst hovering over it, it shows the exact amount.

It's the same with these weapon sets. It's not as much e-peen and prestige as it is consistency. These "elite" weapons you talk about is all personal reception.

For me, the asuran wand is an elite weapon, as it is, by far, the best skin out there. And to then go by your logic, it SHOULD be an elite weapon then. They can make it more expensive for all I care, it's just annoying to see an intire gold inventory (shields, spears, etc) and then have 1 blue weapon.

I realy don't care if its pink....ok, maybe not pink, but, does it matter?

I got a Bow of the kinslayer cause I liked the animation and had been hoping for a silverwing for a while. Now that I have it...MEH!!!! I never look at it in game and finally gave it to Acolyte Jin on another character.. Still hope for a Silverwing but would prolly sell it to get... hummm.....ummmmmm...aaaaa...?

epeen much?

its the functionality that matters, but i too was surprised when i bought my bow i was pretty surprised they weren't gold...meh oh well.

snaek · Mar 31, 2009, 04:35 AM // 04:35

im not bothered so much by blue weapons because they indicate crafter/collector weapons...
i am however bothered by perfect r9 inscribable purple weapons. whenever i think purple, i think imperfect...so its kind of misleading.

though i think it would be nice if all r9 inscribable crafter weapons are gold. non-inscribable collecter weapons can stay blue though.

Asuran Scepter & Focus. Can you tell they're blue? Are they still sweet looking?

It doesnt bother me in the slightest, I still use the asuran bow as my shortbow simply coz its the best non tormented shortbow in the game imo.

I used a blue Fire Offhand for 2 years before inscriptions came out. I never had a problem with it being blue.

At least they are blue and not purple... that would be annoying^^

Points of view

Personally I like the combination of a purple weapon with a green offhand.... :P
On-topic: yes, the fact they are blue is a little annoying (I have an asuran staff, bow, focus and a norn shield), but you get used to it quite fast.

So good!

Nothing prestigious about destroyer weapons, absolutely nothing.

You can easily manage (energy) that build?

14 Expertise.
Sure energy does get low - but I run around with a bunch of buffed up physicals so fights don't last very long.

Someone's worried about the colour on an item's RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing name? Wow, stupidity on a whole new level.

I've had a "Blood Knife" forever and it does look kind of odd there as a blue item, but I don't have it for it's color, I have it for it's stats, it's a great offhand for a Touch Ranger.

As far as Max perfect Purples go, yeah no matter what the skin is no one wants them, my Koss uses a Purple max perfect sword that I could not give away to guild/alliance members looking for a sword.

Crafter weapons have always been Blue, even the ones at the end of Factions that are technically endgame elite. I don't see a reason to change it, though I guess the wepons you get from the Bonus Mission PAck are gold, so I dunno the rhyme or reason to it.

Perfect 40/40 sets from Gertrud in Vasburg Armory.....ftw
