I have looked through the wiki, and seen many greens. With very few exceptions they are in my opinion, goofy looking and many are pretty much worthless seeing as they have sucker punches to the stats (-x armor etc).
I looked at all the nf stuff and only the hand of the forgotten looked decent. The shields are goofy looking, the sword looks like shiros, and the axe.. man I gave it for my hero..lol
Am I alone in this? I also looked up the crystaline sword, and it's really goofy looking.. Is this just a cruel joke played on us by the devs?
LOL
Is it me or are greens ugly?

Personal preference.
I think your warrior looks ugly.

Well as far as the helmut goes no arguement there. I have since made it hidden always..
As a graphic artist by trade I just wonder where their heads where when a lot of these were designed.

well the only difference is the looks...so why not get something that looks a bit different than what everyone else has...and most greens have the same skins as other weapons found in the game its just they have permenant stats...although there are a few truely "unique" items but not many...I don't think greens were ever meant to be the "ultimate" weapons...they were meant to be somewhat easily/cheaply obtainable items with good mods
Hell Raiser
It really is personal preference, some people LOVE the crystalline skin, some do not. -x armor is bad, UNLESS it is combined with +15% damage always (my personal opinion).

The weapon designs are art. Art is very subjective.
Bryant Again
Just like this thread, eh?
I don't think a few of them are ugly, I just wish they'd all have unique skins.
I also wish some of the warrior weapons were larger, since big people need big weapons. Rawr!

And can you please show me all these greens with worthless stats? What ones have negative armor? Not many thats for sure, with how many greens there are, if you don't like the stats on one sword, theres sure to be another that has stats that you would prefer instead.
The Ernada
The green weapons are so ugly that they ruin the game! They dont fit in the game and are more at home in WoW!
.....I don't think they're all ugly at all. I only have an issue with not enough variety of stats/different requisites on greens.

just love the skin of longbow of the forgotten

I've always thought that they are supposed to be ugly to not ruin the markets and disappoint people who spend money on rare skins.
If you want a good looking weapon, buy a skin that you like, with the stats you like.

@Vilaptca - The -10 armor ones are The Ugly Stick hammer and Kai's Sword.
As to the art, enter the current Design a Weapon contest if you think you can do better. From the last contest, the Dragoncrest Axe is one of the most beautiful weapons I have ever seen in any game.

Meh... I quite like most of the NF weapons, it's all opinion I guess.
It's just a shame the stats suck. (seriously... do we need 3 sundering, 15^50 +30 green swords? Ebon next time plx)

I think Greens are the cheaper version of rare weapons.

I love my Urgoz Longbow
a few could be made more unique though - maybe with hardmode

That depends on what you want your character to BE.
I personally dont like most of the Green itens (except for Unges of the Oni and the Dwayna's Scythe).
They all have common skins, and none of them really look good, at least for none of my character.
I use a collector's staff (Jeweled Staff) for my mesmer and i could use a Zodiac Staff, but its just like the armor, must look good for the type of character want him to be.
I just dont know why there isnt a staff/icon that gives +1 channeling.

They are weapons for "poor" players that cant affor buying all mods or rare skins.
A victos blade goes for 7k at most, you cant get 7k for a vampiric, 15%^50 and +30 req9 sword
Skuld
Greens are ugly too (couldn't resist 
).
).
Divinus Stella
I think some skins were just rushed tbh, i mean look at the Gavel of the Nephilim, isnt it the ugliest thing ever?
Shakti
Some greens are very cool.....my necro'd be lost w/o her blue straw effigy, like a blue voodoo doll.......and the Willcrusher is a wicked looking mezzie staff imho. I don't use many myself but some are pretty. Tons of greens are just like other skins dyed. Like state above ^^ design is a form of art...art is subjective. Eye of the beholder etc etc
Retribution X
It's like Vangouh.(I think that's the way his name is spelled.) His abstract art makes some people hate him and others love him.
Anet is like that.

Umm the Gavel of the Nephilim was a winner of the design a weapon contest. If you think it looks ugly, blame the player community (aka us) for not being able to come up with a better design.
Plus, you really have to zoom in on that hammer and see some of the detail to really appricate it.

Nothing wrong with -10Al either. I have alot of -10Al, -5 Energy etc weapons and they work fine.
FibberMcgee
Sorry can't let this go. Van Gogh was an Expressionist (a long way from abstract art). You can probably count on the fingers of one hand the people who don't like his art.
freekedoutfish
I like most of the greens. They have put alot of effort into most of the skins and they look gorgeous.
But my personal opinion is that elemental weapons get the rare end of the deal.
Elemental fire weapons for instance; they always just re-use the bog standard staff and wand skins that we get from common drops.
Air, earth and water greens tend to look alot nicer then fire gear. They look unique. The only unique item we get for Fire is Ragos.

Victos Blade is one of the most beautiful greens in GW, even though it's just an already "known" skin, the shadow blade, albeit, less impressive in size than it should be. Watch the Shadow Warriors and compare.

As for the guy who started this thread, Mr Enchanted Warrior, I did seem to remember you from a thread recently where you were moaning and bitching about a mission saying you were gonna quit the game and play something else....
Is that your reason to be on this forum? Just to start negative threads?
Darcy
@Divinus Stella - Gavel of the Nephilim was also one of the winners in the last Design a Weapon contest.
They seem to give new greens the most popular stats, thus the sundering. For some strange reason, the majority of players seem to think this is a great upgrade for a weapon. The "perfect stats" seem to be 15^50 sundering +30hp according to what is selling at the highest prices for melee golds. This is the downside of ANet paying attention to the player chat and forums.

Shuuda
Like most people have said, the weapon's beauty is a matter of opinion, me for exmaple thinks that the Ugly Sticks it a skin of beauty (how ironic) I love to grab that hammer a run around screaming "Me smash" (Caveman style). Also, I love the Rago/mindclouder skin, jeweled staff FTW I guess. I agree with Darcy about the popular stats idea (sine the NF end of game daggers were all 15^50 Zealous +30HP, consider to be best dagger stats by many)
Jetdoc
Ever since the greens came out, I told myself I wouldn't ever use one unless (1) they had a beautiful skin that was unavailable on a gold or collector weapon or (2) I completed a mission, quest or skill cap and earned that green myself.
To date, I think the only green that I have and use regularly are the Wayward Wands that I earned from the completion of Factions. I would love to have an Urgoz's Longbow, but just can't get over the fact that a Flatbow with RtW or FW is superior to the Longbow. I guess the old function over appearance still gets me...

I quite like my Villnar's Set.
Some to take a look at:
Hand of the Forgotten
Ungues of the Forgotten
Sword of the Forgotten
Villnar Set
Those are my favorites.

It's personal taste, so yes. It is you.
KirinRiotCrash
Personally, I'm not too interested in what the skin on my weapon looks like as long the item works. If I want something with particular stats, I farm the collector drop and get it that way. If I do get a green though, I usually just sell it or put it on a hero.
I have to admit, however, that some of the skins looks quite nice. I personally like Mallyx's Reaver, even though I'm not a big Warrior fan.
Say ... you're an artist, right? Have you ever considered designing something for the Design-a-Weapon contest (which has to be postmarked by March 30th)? Who knows! Your design might actually make it into the game.

Ahhh, this reminds me of a argument of Socrates against Euphiroro(sp) about beauty. I know how to say his name but cant remember how to spell it. Ancient Greek names are always hard to spell.

If greens is ugly, should A-Net remove it from Chapter 4?
GourangaPizza
I have no complains about the skins, but for god's sake Anet should do something about the size of the warrior's and assassin's weapons. Each passing chapter it seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
