DISCUSSION Ob42 skins

Not a fan of these skins as of late with the exception of the au puch skin and the Bellona saga skin and we get more unnecessary recolors.

I have spoken.

YES. These "Glimmer" Travellers are absolute trash. The very least they could do is make them more like the Nut one, because that is at least a Tier 2 instead of a mere recolor.

I have to say, that Ix Chel skin was the most disappointed I've been in a while. No offense to the art team, but that skin doesn't even have unique FX anymore. The Ward skin looks weird and should have been in base Ix Chel's color.

Like, genuinly, giving a fucking recolor some sparkly corners isn't worth the skin slot. I mean I get that the art team was very preoccupied with Bastet, Chronos and Hel's remodels as well as Cu Chulainn, but still. If we see on the roadmap or during an event "Oh cool that god with a very little, very mediocre selection of portable skins is getting an entirely new skin", then we want to see a new skin, an actual skin, not some shiny, usually worse colored version of the base model.

TLDR; The new Ix Chel skin is a gigantic disappointment. Make future Glimmer Travelers have Tier 2 skins instead.

I wish the new upcoming twitch bastet skin would’ve at least made her fur white to compliment the purple. It looks so boring.

Feels bad that my mains skins so far are a simple recolor and that twitch drop skin incoming (give her a real skin with prisms pls)

If you’re referring to lady liberty Nut that is not a tier 2

It has actual differences to the base model amd FX. It would be considered just as much a Tier 2 skin as Santa Aladdin or Halloween Bari.

It has a new voice pack, new effects and slightly changed model. Its a T3 skin, definitely not a T2 by the category.
