No Master-Skin for Artifacts :(

[Queen of Hamsters]

That would've tied directly into the attitude they don't want to foster, where people rush through content to unlock stuff because it'll be removed.

[iamthedevil]

Why would they go out with a 'bang' when we're going to lose the weapons at the end of Legion?

Kinda dumb. Why make a new final raid tier when it's going to be irrelevant at the end of the expansion

Because raid tiers dont become irrelevant because it move the lore into the next exp pack and you can also go back and get the tier sets in the future for transmog.

Pretty sure if they would make a master-skin that they would remove it at the end of the exp pack what makes it kind of a waist of effort.

[Thelxi]

that would require you to first unlock every other skin + the individual tints?

Lol no. Blizzard would never do that. They aren't happy with content that is only seen by very few people. What you are describing is even more exclusive content than Mythic raiding, which is as exclusive as Blizzard is willing to go.

[Usagi Senshi]

This is a good thing IMO, means I won't get another fist weapon that can't transmog into anything else because Blizzard still refuses to change the damn things for whatever goddamn stupid reason.

When they offer the eventual 110 boost with the expansion purchase, I'll probably make a panda outlaw rogue so I can use all weapons normally again as a leather user.

You're bringing up the point of transmog on an item trhat would be used for transmog. Nice.

If for you, skin artifacts shows that player is pro... I don't want to know what shows for you players as a noob.

Seriously? You care for few more pixels?

Some people just want another model to enjoy.

I want a T-34 in WoW because of pixels too. Not gonna happend.

[Ielenia]

Did anyone else expect there to be a Master-Skin for the artifacts at the end of the expansion that would require you to first unlock every other skin + the individual tints?

I did not expect more skins, no. And if there was, in the way you're describing, I would be very cross, considering I don't like PvP (i.e. abhor) and reaching max prestige (I think 15) would take way too long (I'm almost prestige 3 and I started Legion on day 1).

Yes because having another model for a weapon that is the focal point of the expansion is somehow related to having an entire new creation put into the game.

I think "master" model is a bad idea. A new model though...

[Ielenia]

The thing is though. You literally can AFK in BG's for weeks on end and obtain all your pvp skins. It would have been nice if there was a different approach for the PVP skins.

The thing is, though, there are other games or even other stuff I could be doing instead of wasting my free time doing nothing but /AFK'ing in BGs.

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

Wasn't even on my radar, tbh. I transmog over most of them anyway. The ones I use, I chose because I liked how they looked and how they matched my overall transmog. Idc how prestigious they are. I transmog one of them into an old lvl 20 green item.

The master skin is a thing, that if you want it, you HAVE to do something you hate or dislike.

Good thing there isn't a skin like that yet. Whew!
Oh wait...

The difference is that both PVE and PVP have a skin each atm. The difference is that you can rest on the fact, that while PVP has a unique skin, so has the PVE so no matter what you have the chance of getting a skin without doing your hated content.

a) With Master Skin, PvP and PvE each still have a unique skin.
b) You can get MULTIPLE skins without doing your hated content.
c) With Master Skin, if your favorite skin comes from your hated content, you STILL have to do it.
d) With Master Skin, your effort of doing your hated content rewards you 2 skins instead of 1 (assuming you're not a hypocrite who didn't even get the skins from the content you "love").

So I don't really see the downsides of a Master Skin.

[ONCHEhap]

No, he's talking about the Legion armaments datamined and tied to the ToS meta.

Legion armament are in game as a reward from invasions

Yeah don't play dumb. I explained the first sentence later in my post, which you have also quoted, so this is just waste of text.

And i believe, that most people are totally fine with not being able to get a skin, because they each have 1, but if you add a skin later in the game, lets say 8.3.5 and have it be a masterskin, people are gonna say, that the reward is for very few people and a waste of new content. That is the problem with the master skin compared to the PVE/PVP skin.

Yes, you will get 2 skins from doing your hated content, but you are still doing your hated content ei. not doing what makes you enjoy the game and that is a minus in Blizzards book.

I would agree if skins were super hard to get, but they aren't.

Even so, I would say that Master Skin should not require you to unlock all colors, but just unlock everything in that "collumn".
So the default master skin color would simply require you to unlock all other skins.
The 2nd color would require you to unlock all other 2nd colors, and so on.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

The transmog weapons were supposed to be 7.2.5 content, the ToS meta did reward them. They were done for 7.2, FYI.

Why is that relevant? It only matters when WE can get them.

I assume you are trying to insinuate that they aren't delivering on much content based on your avatar.
If so, have a nice day.

Its not needed and I'm glad they aren't doing it honestly.
Look how many people complain about the CM weapons and gear. I honestly feel bad for them, because some people literally could not have obtained them.
I think content like that is healthy for the game, but at the same time we don't need more cosmetic items.

The skins we have already are more than enough for me, and I still have very few of them considering just how many there are for all the specs.

[Darktbs]

No more skins, for the love of god.Im already full of stuff to do just to get what we already have.

Get 12.000 HK, 2400 WQs, 360 dungeons done its a nightmare.

Get all classes to 1:50 honor is horrible.

Do Balance of Power in all 12 its annoying as fuck.

Some skins aren't even that cool.

[Spiral Mage]

A Master Skin is an interesting idea and might not have been a bad addition.
