I kinda like the shield skin.
- Schiinch
  
  Too bad Aegis will destroy yet another pretty shield
  - Bob Dobalina
    
    The only shield that Aegis doesn’t destroy (and enhances it in my opinion) is the Dragon Jade shield.
    - Corsicca
      
      I personally think Aegis looks amazing on the fractal shield
    - LocoMan
      
      The guild tower shield looks very good with aegis IMHO (it’s the one I use with my guardian). The aegis fits right in the middle of the ornament in the shiels, looks like it’s part of the design.
  - Shannon Peters
    
    Agreed. I get so annoyed by the Aegis when I want my skin to be seen

Staff skin is cool, but the rest are fugly :<

WORST update so far, no backpacks and only 5 new weapons skins, just a shame last year was EPIC.
- Yamaha
  
  Finally someone agrees.

Another GS bias… It gets a different looking skin AND bat effects while the rest is blah, especially the sword.

The longbow is slightly disappoint to me. It’s too similar to Arachnophobia.
- Dulfy
  
  I know right? and no special effects either..
  - Celicynd
    
    Can I ask a silly question… has anyone noticed lately that the bow previews all seem to be backwards? (like the part thats on the outside of your hand is on the inside) looking at the video, it looks like the bow is correct though.
    - Dulfy
      
      Not just bows, focus previews are also bugged. Like some directly clip into your body, really odd.
      - Stil
        
        It’s because all the previews always show in your right hand. So a bow or focus that has been specifically designed to be held in the left hand (like they all are when actually wielded) ends up being reversed in the preview.

I want more rubber weapons! I’m amazed how much tech GW2 has for weapon effects that are hardly ever used!
Vai

The staff skin just looks like a reskin of the modniir staff to me.

Anyone have a translation for the text on the shield and does the text change when it’s drawn? If some higher rez photos can be posted, I’ll do it.
- Dulfy
  
  Try this and see if it is high res enough?

Great more ugly weapons! 😀
shujin51

Why does Beef Adobo weapons look so plain?
- Dulfy
  
  Cuz it is designed to be that way. It is a toy weapon with the unique selling point being very rubber like and bendy
  - shujin51
    
    that sword i admit that its funny but the staff-.- its just looks like a rip off of some of the exotic weapons :/ AND WHY ALWAYS MAKING THE STAFFS SO BAD! T_T
Kenji

Am I the only one freaked out by the quaggan mini? Imagine the blue part being the sclera (the white part of the eye) and the actual eyes of the quaggan being the irises…brrr

What are the odds in receiving a Black Lion Weapons claim ticket from the BL chest?
- Dulfy
  
  Pretty low, 1 in 25-30? You are much more likely to get a scrap, and you need 10 scraps for a ticket..
Ares Zax

dulfy, do you happen to know if the new glove armor pieces from doing the Clocktower have unique skins? Or does it just reuse existing skins?
- Dulfy
  
  existing skins I think
Gondz605

the scimitar is suck, why they didnt make the real one??

i just looted a Mad Kings chest piece from the Labyrinth, any chance you could post a pic of what the full suit looks like?
- Dulfy
  
  Bottom of this page and they are existing armor models so nothing special: http://dulfy.net/2012/10/26/gw2-halloween-skins-weapon-and-armor-gallery/
robyx

is it possible to obtain ghastly grinning shield in this patch?
- Dulfy
  
  Don’t think so.
  - fnordtruck
    
    I watched someone get one yesterday.
    - Dulfy
      
      From what? the Mad King chest with all the previous year skins isn’t returning.

??? HO THE HELL AM I?!

One simple question dulfy, do u know craftable chests through the mystic forge will be available this year again? The moneymaking is really a bit annoying in this one..
- Denravi
  
  Eww my grammar… was a bit mind-afk. Just want to know if we can get the weapon skins only through BL-Chests or can craft the Mad King Chests again. Sorry for my last comment,,
  - Dulfy
    
    I don’t think you can craft the Mad King chests anymore 🙁
    - Denravi
      
      What a mess :/
      I was so happy to use my 300 tonics.. Zzz
      Sadness spreads
The Spirit Molecule

that schmitar is such a silly schmitar
That One Guy

Why…why why why would they make almost every single one of these incredibly awesome….. and then… there’s the silly fucking scimitar. Why…. just… why? My thief says boooo.
- The Guilty Party
  
  They’re all pretty goofy, tbh.
- Real men swing flaccid swords
  
  If your thief doesn’t want to shoot rainbows with a dreamer and swing a silly scimitar, then he’s not a real man.
SpaceKitten

Don’t forget to update your weapons galleries with these and TA’s new skins! D:
luminatx

So all the other weapons are going to be ignored? awesome.
ESCUDO

When will they start to cost more tickets? Thanks.
- Dulfy
  
  Likely after Nov 12
  - ESCUDO
    
    Alright, thank you.
  - btamb
    
    Are they going to be on sale forever? or should i just buy them now?
Damonwex

- writinwater
  
  oh wait you actually liked something ? halt the press =)
  - hillbo
    
    HAHAHAHAHA xD
IchbinVol

Chiroptophobia is just in time for Necro’s new Reaper spec. 🙂
Saragossa

Don’t they cost 2 tickets not 1?
- Jesus Christ
  
  Article is from 2013, so if it is 2 tickets now Anet has increased the price.
