Ordinary armour skins

I noticed lack of simple ordinary skins...

there are some simple colored weapon glow effects, and maybe a couple Skill recolours. that's about it tho

OP may be talking about skins for weapons and armor that aren't ridiculous in appearance or full to the brim with particle effects and lights. If that is indeed the case, I agree there are too few options for skins that are more ordinary in appearance, and those that are tend to be in support packs.

Yea, currently if we want more ordinary skins we are pretty much forced to buy Skin Transfer

If Skin Transfer was acceptable I would not start this topic.

The fact that skin transfers are consumable is a travesty. It makes me want to never use them because I know that eventually I'm going to replace the item in question and/or change my mind about the appearance I want it to have.

if they could somehow make Skin Transfer
a) permanently add an item to your library
and
b) make it reusable across leagues

i would be a very happy camper

then suddenly all those alt art items (at least the demigods and some other rare ones) in standard will be worth more then supporter packs GGG sells. I'm not sure how that would work out for them.


I have to say though, if they did something like this for ONLY NORMAL item types I would be all over it. as it is, I go through several skin transfers every season since I play HC. I waste a lot of money making things NOT flashy.

It's not a technical issue, they obviously do not want to do that ...
They could, but they won't.
There is a reason why it's the cheapest Mtx in the shop.

Now, having a special skin transfer that you can reuse ( as in : can re-apply it, but not change the skin once you chose it ) for let's say ... 150 coins ? that would be more realistic I guess, but I don't see it happening either.
