So looking at the example they provided in the latest addition to the News section, am I to understand correctly that the new weapon skins that are exclusive to James' Forge look EXACTLY like 70 blues? Or was the wrong picture perchance used?
If they are the same, then massive respect points lost for laziness and lack of originality :P Thoughts? Reactions?

They are the same as lvl 70 blues, Originally those weapons were called Fortune staff Fortune axe etc...
I myself am extremely disappointed after finding that thats the only type of weapon skin and hearing that mostly you get 10 T1 or T2 stones....
When Os actually gives prizes worth my while i might spend my money on it but atm im not planning on it lol.

Frankly, my thoughts...
Back in the day, having a blue was a rarity. I mean, I had to save up for a month and search for another month to find my level 70 blue staff, which I got for 30g (a lot of money back then) at +0. And the stats weren't even that great.
Then the GM kq bug rolled around and made blues commonplace, having a blue (on any server except the new one soon to come out) is standard and noone thinks twice about it.
But this is just the final kick into making blues meaningless. Now anyone can just pick up a weapon skin that looks like one. Wow, what a change from how things were at 79 cap.
Granted, I don't like anything about James' Forge, but I'm staying on topic. :)

I tried it twice, but once I realized you don't have a chance of getting what the pictures show I just stopped. Makes you wonder why they even bother to refresh them, seems like a clever scam to me. Would be nice if they explained that.

@Roseanna:
Don't sell yourself short. Your post isn't any less relevant just because it is AGAINST the forge feature. I made this topic because I was interested both in the positives and negatives that people are able to see behind this decision to reuse the blues' avatar.

Seems lazy to me. Just a quick look at the Korean version shows how many other weapon skins are available. They could have PACKED the forge full of cool new things.
Another scam from outspark trying to squeeze another few dollars out of the community.
How about we see something for the money lol? Some customer server?!

Thanks! :)

Well, they can't add too many things at once. First, everybody will get sick of all of it at the same time. They have to cycle things to keep it fresh so people don't get bored with their stock. But second, they can't handle bugs on numerous items at once. At least introducing it one at a time, they can handle any possible bugs/kinks as they come.
But yes, they could have picked something unique and original. Not something that we've seen before as an actual in-game weapon. Heh.

Question...By 2h Sword and wand do you mean the weapon skins? It would be very cool to see actual weapons (even ones already enhanced) in there.

It would be awesome if you could get some statted pre +'d items or maybe even intruduce a "Purple" weapon class that you can ONLY get from the forge and is tradable. Or realse things like HellGait and boss (GGK, ZM, BK) stuff from forge.

The only thing worse than the blue appearance is the durability capacity of some of them.
Some weapon skins have only a 3k dura capacity. The minimum refill available is the 25k refill as we know. When you fill up your 3k capacity the remaining 22k is wasted (they have a warning message for it atleast).
So how exactly are those with 3k skins supposed to refill theirs without costing them excessive amount of sc? Luckily I still have my 25k skin from before, but I really hope this isnt a bug and will be seen to >.>
