[Feedback] Skill Style Color Consistency and Pricing

Shagreth · April 26

The “single color skill style” thing feels half-baked.

If the goal is customization, why not go all the way and let us set a cohesive color theme across all skills? Right now it just feels like random, isolated effects that don’t really match anything else.

Honestly, anything would be better than drip-feeding one color per release. Also, the pricing is rough for what is basically a tiny visual tweak each time. If this is going to stay this fragmented, it really should be cheaper or bundled.

Just feels like the system is still missing a clear direction.

I understand having really nice custom single styles ....... just not at the crown price they have recently been listed at. Like the Halloween 3 pack at 2500 crowns was a bad value even with how nice the skills were

But I hate simple recolors being alone, why would I want a simple orange inspired scholarship when all the other skills are green and a few blue? I really just want full class recolors being a complete bundle even if it ends up at a somewhat stupid price

What baffles me such simple thing (recolor) seems to be too difficult to release for all skills.
I can't get any water skill styles other than the Warhorn and Grand Healing (which I dont have cause it's hidden behing Lep Seclusa challenger), so I work with what I'm given with few blue skills from Templar and Arcanist.

Seeing you can buy the DK recolors after the update makes me think we'll see all of them avaiable for each class for gold after respective class refreshes.

But Lightning Yellow Overload for Sorc makes no sense + it's half of the skillstyle for the price of full; the effect does not apply to light and heavy attacks, just the ambient buff and activation effect.

Yeah really they should release at the very least multiple consistent simple color swaps for each class color on each class so that we can use them then whatever other fancy colors people want so we can full on match a kit.

The only time i think it's okay to cost crowns is if it's unique, like celestial storm, but Id prefer those be behind challenges.

What makes this inconsistent stylist problem even worse is that some ambient class specific effects will never match your chosen skill styles, IE the red glow from nightblades merciless resolve or the green crux from Arcanist.

For an MMO, I'd like it to be a "play your way" kind of game, with the skill styles, it feels very underwhelming for every class.

Yeah, the green Crux is the thorn in my eye floating around my character that spams everything blue.
Makes no sense.

I'm certainly displeased with simple recolors in crown store for crowns.
Blessing of Protection Verdant Green recolor for 1200 crowns?
Why is it even a thing?

Another annoyance with all this, seemingly, favoritism.

Whirlwind (Dual Wield skill) and Vigor (Assault) both have 4 different skill styles; 3 recolors and 1 unique
Blade Cloak has 3 unique skill styles.

By "unique" I mean going beyond simple recolor.

Meanwhile there are so many skilllines that have only one recolor (blue Gibbering Shield when?), and so many skills that have not even that.

The only explanation that comes to mind is that Vigor and Whirlwind are one of the most used skills according to their data.
So they release skill styles for those, cause there's no point making a recolor for Arcanist Domain or Remedy Cascade that are less common to use apparently.
