If ANet could deliver 400 designs per year, sure. For now, I'd rather see a Lunar New Year set, dragon-style mounts, and so on. On the contrary, it seems like an excellent use of limited design resources to craft a set of 5 SAB skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yeah, I'm rather glad for that, it's not a set I'd be looking forward to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah since they will cost 2k gems or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that could be used for a plethora of things like working on stuff the vast majority of ppl have asked for years instead of functional chairs.

gaborkaldy.3210 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Honestly? Thank god. I am sick of the SAB skins overall. They are so not fit into the game. SAB and its visuals are there on the SAB events. Other than that, I am not missing them from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNecrosanct.4028 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 To be fair, SAB skins outside of SAB actually don't make much sense. SAB is a virtual reality simulator. That virtual reality only exists within the actual Super Adventure Box. So to see the things you see inside the box, you'd have to actually be inside the box, because outside it's just reality, not virtual reality. Meaning that SAB minis, gliders and weapons skins would only be visible to us outside SAB if we wore a virtual reality headset. Considering that we don't, apparently that virtual reality suddenly becomes actual reality when we take it out of SAB in the form of said minis/gliders/weapons. So for all those people complaining about immersion arguments being pointless, it actually makes perfect sense. SAB skins outside of SAB is completely immersion breaking because it either suggests the entire world of Tyria is a virtual reality or SAB is not special at all because you can see the things you see in there anywhere, without any virtual reality gizmos. Praise be to ANet for not releasing SAB mount skins. The Istani set is infinitely better, in my personal opinion. And one of the hopes I have for this game is that they never will release a SAB set either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Pretty sure it is because they decided between SAB and Istani skins and Istani would cater to a broader audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze Dos Cavalos.6132 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'm so happy other people wont be able to buy sab mount skins, ah feels really good seeing other players disappointed by not getting the skins they want. Truly is a good day and I hope only the skins I like come into the game, thank you anet and guild wars 2 community is the best community yay. *Sarcasm off* Well I don't care about new mount skins or whatever but this reaction of people being happy because of other people sadness reflects the gw2 community.
