Hey guys/gals I've been wondering how many items have been found ingame yet from the design a weapons contest. Not the bonus items. http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...signaweapon07/
I've really wanted to get one of those shields Or atleast it looks like one.

as far as i know none have been released in game. I would imagine they will start to popup with the BMP.

Edit: for those below he clearly says not including the bonus items. Not sure on the rose and Equine Shield tho

The Rose Focus and Equine Aegis look familiar.

Search the Gaile chats for a better date, but last I saw Gaile said they would finish being added after (or by?) New Year's.

Correct. As I said, the DAW items will be added after the Wintersday Festival. I don't know an exact week, nor whether we'll add all at once or a batch over time. I think we'd likely add a batch or three, and not all at once, but that's really up to James and John H (on the design team) to decide.

Makes me wonder about the Zashien Chest Drops in the future.
Guess I will keep watching what comes of those drops.
Besides, IIRC, wasn't there something said about something special dropping from the Zashien chest that hasn't been seen yet? (or something along those lines)

I really hope these skins aren't ZC only. Never wanted to take a gamble with that and never will either.

Gaile, would it be possible NOT to tell where the stuff drops, as to encourage "search parties"?

Of course when the word spreads one will be seeing endless farmers (not forgetting the bots).

I know one place where they will pop out from for sure....zaishen chest >.>

My thread on the subject was closed....so I thought I'd resurrect this one. Anyone with any new information at all?

They'd be busy with gw2, and can't be bothered to put more then 1 person on that development

Did it occur to you that it may have been closed for a reason?

Your knowledge of game design is impressively lacking.

Your telling me that if a team was working on bringing the models to the game, they would take this long to add? GTFO. Seriously.
Gaile said somewhere end of January. That's a week ago.
The 3d models must be made, textured, and cross checked on every prof / sex to see if no clipping occurs. Alright this takes sometime. But for a team? no.
And yes I do work with 3 modeling programs, and do some programming too. So yes I know things allways take longer then expected. But this long, no.

It has nothing to do with programming. The skins are done, or can be done within 24 hours if they were so motivated, however they are waiting to add them so that it will reinvigorate interest in the game. They have a limited amount of content that they're dragging out to keep people playing for longer.

... and given how many skins in the game have clipping issues (and have had them for months/years), I frankly think that they either don't check that or don't care about it.

It might have been closed because there are other threads about the same thing and wow, look, he found one!

That would just be stupid. Why have 3 threads that say the same thing? That's why we tell people to search first.
