for gods sake can you guys let us have/earn the weave skins already?

[NovλSwλnk'd]

i think it's pretty wild we can't use this skins outside of the gamemode or without mods.

these are some real quality skins and it would be super easy to implement. I remember hearing that you guys were working on a way we could earn them in game but that was like 2 years ago. JUST LET US USE THE COSMETICS FATSHARK

The funny part is they actually accidentally put them in the main game at one point. People were very happy and it gave them good PR....for about 10 hours.
Then they immediately took them away with the excuse that they "needed to make sure they were properly bug tested and stable"
or some such nonsense. And they havent come back or been talked about since.

If you know Fatshark you know that excuse is total BS because EVERYTHING is buggy and unstable when they launch it.
In reality they are probably looking for a way to monetize the skins.

Edit: Found one of the devs response. I hate to throw Aqshy under the bus because its not her fault Fatshark cant find a way to make this work. But its a statement from devs sooo......

We're aware some of you may have seen and/or purchased Weave illusions for the Bretonnian Sword & Shield, and Kerillian's Glaive. These were added to Lohner's Emporium of Wonders by accident during an update. Players who purchased these cosmetics will be refunded their shillings after these illusions have been removed.

We know this may be disappointing and understand that the inclusion of these illusions is one of the most asked-for features. While we don't have anything to commit to today, the team is looking at the viability of this as an option and will provide an update within the next two weeks.

This was in January of 2022. The response 2 weeks later is what I paraphrased above. Searching for it now.

Edit Edit: Found it.

About two weeks ago, we accidentally made some weapon illusions available in Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders that were not yet ready for publication. These illusions won’t be returning to Lohner’s Emporium at this point in time. While we appreciate that these illusions have long been in demand, we had to pull them from the Emporium for two main reasons:

1. All in-game items go through internal testing cycles to ensure a stable experience for our players. Skipping this process may result in unintended effects such as balance issues, instability, and a whole host of other things we would otherwise want to avoid.
   
   
2. We have other plans for these weapon illusions and how we’d make them available to you. In the past, we’ve mentioned our desire to redo some game modes so Vermintide II is the game you want it to be and we know it can be. We can’t go into what these plans are at this point in time as they are just that—plans. When the time is right, we’ll further communicate our intentions for these illusions and how they fall into our future plans for the game.

We understand this news may be disappointing, but Hedge and I will continue to advocate for you and your desires for the game, as it’s important for us for you all to enjoy the content we put out.

We appreciate your continued support and patience.

Yea that’s what made me cancel my pre order for dark tide oddly enough, good thing I did too.

You can earn Weave skins. Go play Weaves.

How do you explain weave skins outside the weave, lore-wise?

fat shark on their way to make the best most high quality skin only to lock them behind least played gamemode

[Ghoul Hunter]

I find it amusing people consider the "rave lightshow" skins to be the best ones. Slayer Bardin would fit right in to that scene.

I'd actually be more interested in new weapon models. I mean the actual models, too. I'm not satisfied with any of the halberd models, personally. Something slim and functional would look nice. A Dane axe skin for the halberd would be sweet, even. Also, why is that wooden mallet still not a usable skin? There was even the idea of having enemy weapon skins be usable. That would be kinda fun.

Weaves were never worth the grind, and neither are those obnoxious skins. At least yellow and blue compliment the overall earthy tones the game gives off, but purple is like seeing a neon sign in a forest. Just horribly distracting.
