Bad looking rare weapon skins for me

Rarity is the most important factor for me

Of all things? I'd like a good looking Rare Skin. They Exist.

So you're protesting his opinion just because it's in the minority and you don't agree, even though the OP says leave your opinion?

Rare items all theway!

My Echo Mending Healing Hands wammo with FoW armor and an ele sword looks great.

Appearance is more important than rarity for me, but it is always nice when I can get a weapon that I love the looks of that is also rare, like a Runic Sword or the Chimeric Prism.

stats are most important, for weapons and armor
if theres a choice of skin too, good i'll pick one

freaky naughty · Dec 05, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

If I could choose I'd take the ugly rare one sell it and buy myself a better looking rare one.

Crom The Pale · Dec 05, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Its all about what I think looks best with my war. At the moment that is the Charr sword and Undead Shield.

One should also keep in mind that the rarest of skins are often the best looking. While that is certainly not always the case it is one of the reasons those weapons are rare in the first place.

Yeah youre right take a look at tormented shields, eternal blades, or runic blades, all expensive all great looking.

rather than rarity of skins and junk, I am a low-req. wh0re >.< , must always be r9 or below (especially lovin the r7's and 8's)

kobey · Dec 06, 2007, 09:55 AM // 09:55

Sometimes a weapons will appear 'nicer' if it is rare.

Just a point of view i have that rarity might affect the views of some people towards how nice a weapon is.

At least, it does for me

Gregslot · Dec 06, 2007, 10:33 AM // 10:33

Must be good looking and good (req9-10).

I find Ele Swords, Crystaline Swords and Stygant Reavers do damn ugly. I dont know why you people pay so much for this crap.

And by the way, that Shield of the Wing is be the best good looking shield in the game, meanwhile you people pay 100 platinum and tons of ectos for a Tormented Shield (seriously, what the hell is that?! how can someone like that ?)
Talking about crap: Tormented Swords... NOW THAT IS CRAP!

The only thing i feel bad about not getting the Bonus Mission Pack is because i wont get to use the Tengu Daggers or the Tengu Scythe... now THAT is a good looking weapon.

You may think they look crap, but others think otherwise.

Please try to understand people view things differently and accept that not everyone think the same as you

I, at first think that crystalline looks really ugly. However after the introduction of tormented shields, I find that crystalline looks nice with it. (Its just how I feel)

Some match it with emblazoned, some with crude shields. Its just how peoplel want their toons to look like.

In other words, rarity is at best a secondary consideration.

I could not have said it better myself.

I'm free-floating on this subject. I personally love the Crystalline Sword skin because I believe it does look good - aside from it's rarity and value. At the same time I'm a fan of the common Dragon Hornbow, Tyrian Earth Staff (the one that Cynn wields) and the PvP Defender.

You will always get the black-dyed FoW wammos with an Amethyst Aegis, Moz Zing Mask, Chaos Gloves and an Elemental Sword because they are rare and not because they look good. People seek some sense of comfort and security from having rare items. Probably some sort of securtiy issue or lack of personal taste.

Kaworu · Dec 06, 2007, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Common or uncommon are nothing to me.
The important thing is that I like it or not.
And that it has good stats obviously...
For example I really don't like the crystalline, even if it's the uber-rare and all.
If I'd find one I would sell it immediately for a good offer.
From the "mostwanted" FOW instead i bought only the helmet for my war and kurzick 15k for the other pieces (they fit well togheter IMO), and preferred to spent my money for a tormented shield (even if I agree that the Shield of the Wing is awesome).
As principal weapon I have a now-less-rare fellblade that I'll never change!
The elemental is too short for my taste... But I have to say that I love the Tengu sword skin! That's "free"!
But my war is happy as he's now!

IMO obviously!

Iuris · Dec 19, 2007, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Well, I'd never be caught wielding a Saurian scythe, no matter how rare it is, so I guess looks matter more for me

It's all down to individual taste. I like the Elementalist and Assassin Obsidion Armour sets but probably wouldn't even look twice at any of the others. Sure rarity does have an appeal, but I don't think I'd spend countless hours and money on an Armour set that looks horrible to me, would you?

Personally I like Shadow Bows. I have one on my Assassin at the moment.
