Holzmarie.1278 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 hello guys, at first sorry for my bad english but i'll try my best to explain our thoughts from the german forum. The main idea is to please anet to change something about these two items. We do like both auras but its sad that these are shoulder skins and many stylish armors look pretty ugly without big shoulders. I want my little asuran to wear a scarf inside the snowflakes from winters presence! I do a litte summary of our ideas: the best idea in our opinion will be to convert the skin into an infusion because the are already so many of them with visual effects fist way: a little collection that requiere the skin unlocked and rewards us with the infusion second way: a merch -maybe Miyani- sell us an accound bound version of the skin if we got it unlocked on the account and we get a simple reciep to convert it with the mystic forge into an infusion. something like: the skin itself-+9 agony infusion+xxx+xxx alright thats the short version of our thoughts and i would like to read your opinion about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I agree. They should be an infusion. Another reason for an infusion is that you can use an infusion with an outfit. The effects from wearing the shoulders don’t show up when wearing an outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrolicus.3716 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 THIS. I was talking about this to one of my friends. I told her that Winter's Presence should be an infusion but she thinks it's better as shoulder piece. I'd love this, specially I'm planning to continue the collection next December.

Randulf.7614 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 An infusion would be preferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Meh ... most shoulders are ugly anyway. Although the only drawback of an infusion is allowing them to stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good solution, because one might not like the stats of the piece in question (but would be unable to change them without destroying the effect), and it could bring other issues as well (see [Rime-Rimmed Aquabreather](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/40226/devs-rime-rimmed-aquabreathers-need-swim-infusion-slot "Rime-Rimmed Aquabreather")). An infusion would indeed be the only logical solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my Nightfury. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egrimm Van Horstmann.7921 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I have both, and yes it limits application, however, I haven't found a single armor type that doesn't have pieces of gear that can exclude shoulders without looking odd.

The upsides for customization would be ultimately far greater than what you get by turning X into an infusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikigami.4013 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I don't think I posted in one of these threads yet because I don't have nightfury and I did not have any shoulderarmor skin that I really liked a lot, so I didn't think about it. But when I just saw the pictures of the anniversary shoulders, I first thought "Wow, I will use those" and then I remembered I would lose my wintersday snow :( So I'll join in with the multiple requests to make that effect (and any others like them, like the icy aquabreather skin) into infusions or something else that will apply the visual. Even the polyluminescent upgrades are a better system than making a characterwide visual effect into a shoulderskin in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Lag.9075 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Don't change anything, leave it working as it is BUT give everyone who owns either skin the 1 infusion (or a way to craft more after initial one). I like that I can get effect just by transmuting it as I don't really like any shoulders in the game and for me , swtiching infusion around characters would be just plain annoying.

The Angle of Deth.2985 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 An infusion for Nightfury would be perfect! Then my Sylvari could wear her scarf...she's cold without it. ^ ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the whispers secret cowl, it covers the shoulder, too. Strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
