Senqu.8054 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I just remembered a request or idea from years ago where some people suggested to introduce Skins for Towers, Keeps, NPC-Guards and stuff like that to bring the whole customization philosophy of guild wars right in to WvW. So I’m now curious how you guys think about it since there is a expansion around the corner and we all like to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Changing yaks too. Yes, I like the idea. The template can remain the same just the looks. I mean I do Collect outfits and spent thousands of gold doing it. That there could have been my sunrise @,..,@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I would personally guard that yak to my death if I could dress it up. Giving a personal touch to anything would be nice, it can all be just client side so no one else sees it, as it can just be for personal pleasure, or show for everyone. Let us dye them too haha.

Blocki.4931 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 One step before that could be themed skins depending on the current festivals that are running. It would all be very nice. The foundation, the guild claim system, is already there. Like you can choose your guild theme that plays when claiming they could also tie some skins to that.

Samug.6512 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Anything to expand the claiming system. Hell I'd even pay gems for that, monetize the shit out of it ANet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yep, give Guilds something to do with the claim system. I can imagine wsr making SM all pink for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I like the idea, but at the same time, if adding such skins would further degrade performance issues we are seeing in WvW atm then I would change my vote to no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always add a 256x256 pixel 2D plane dolly that changes between 2 versions to animate the legs, just for you. Just dont try to fight it straight from the front.

Kulvar.1239 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Having map themed skins would be nice. Seeing Elona short furred dolyak in the desert map would feel right. Having a random race assigned to the NPC would be welcomed too, with each of the faction having a different race at the start of every skirmish week. But letting player play designer with NPC is a no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Suggested many times in the past. Considering how much less are playing wvw these days, it's a missed opportunity at this point. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/69688/anet-needs-to-monetize-wvw-with-more-skins-going-forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I always liked the idea but before they go monetizing wvw beyond what they already do they should stop trash canning the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 it's a useless idea, but sounds entertaining, and reskins / colouring isn't that difficult to create. however, i'd still prefer they'd fix the basics and old bugs, maps, tactics (defense towers are calling, of which i have forgotten their real name bc nobody ever would use them)... removing stuff like ruin buffs, cc-stacking and many more. @"Kulvar.1239" erm, well desert border has different dollies even. the one map that has. but well, people probs would yet be happy if they could choose guild specific dolly color and put a guild emblem on them lel.

Threather.9354 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I imagine the reason they haven't done this is because they don't want to infest the Gemstore with WvW exclusive stuff and have to refund thousands of people who mistakenly buy them so Id like them to add a Gem Merchant at every WvW spawn instead of putting Siege skins etc, at gemstore. Overall I think they should just upgrade how the guards/lords look on alpine+EB for everyone, not make player/guild exclusive skins. Maybe make the lords bit bigger to help combat clarity. I like idea of gembuyable siegeskins tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That's a problem that's easily solved by mark the wvw items with a big fat WVW ONLY on it, or put them in their own tab section. There's items like the boosters not usable in wvw that are marked as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash.9213 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'd like to have some aesthetic from all of the past Story episodes, expansions, and updates spread around the original WvW maps while trying to not hit the performance. Then I'd like whatever the latest episode map is to fight on and hit up some objectives to connect us more to the rest of the game and maybe some npcs scattered around the pve maps can have a few lines of chatter here and there about WvW stuff, like "I hear that server finally took Stone Mist Castle" or whatever if a t3 SM goes down or something. The episodes and expansions have been fun and well made but most of us don't really get to soak up the music, sounds, and general feel of the rest of the game.
