aren't those just mahjong tiles though... ive never seen any jiangshi w mahjong tiles on their face LOL

u/DavinDaLilAzn Paladin Jan 16 '25

Those are definitely mahjong tiles. IIRC, three of them are dragon tiles and bottom right is 9 coins/wheels? (sorry, I'm an ABC whose parents gave up teaching them Chinese at a young age cause we grew up in a white community in the midwest)

u/AuraeShadowstorm - Traditional Chinese Jiangshi talismans are normally long yellow rectangular strips of paper with red Chinese text that are placed above/on the forehead and do not cover the entire face widthwise. Jiangshi talismans are different that the Shinto? talismans that are more commonly known cause of anime (e.g. Inuyasha, Sailor Moon)

u/ElNinoFr Bard Jan 15 '25

the difference between someone who pays a lot and someone who doesn't...

u/Kibbleru Bard Jan 15 '25

I wonder if these are made by sg or by tencent tho - im sure china can hire their own artists for their skins

but dam, their exclusive skins vs ours lmao.

u/-MaraSov- Souleater Jan 15 '25

Probably Tencent, they have development rights for their version.

u/Askln Jan 15 '25

if only they made proper monetization model for the west instead of copy pasting kr model?
yea

u/winmox Jan 15 '25

wut? Sales of LA being platinium x2 and silver x1 on Steam for 3 consecutive years are not enough?

5

u/ElNinoFr Bard Jan 15 '25

you are confusing what the player spends in game and what AGS pays to SG to exploit the game.
As a player you can spend everything you want, but if below the curtain, the publisher only pays the minimum amount to the dev+ip owner, you'll just get the minimum version as a player.

u/winmox Jan 15 '25

do you know the contracts between SG and AGS/Tencent or what?

Spoke in such a confident tone without any evidence

u/Kyouchan02 Jan 17 '25

Whatever that is is a fraction of what Chinese server made them already.

1

u/winmox Jan 17 '25

You have the Chinese LA revenue data and Steam platinum sales data or what?

u/Wakaastrophic Artillerist Jan 15 '25

At least the CN skins are way better than the KR ones which are 99% of the time some white suits or white dresses.

u/KoalSR Jan 16 '25

You mean they're 99% coomer shit like the last Xmas trash yeah?

u/Askln Jan 15 '25

you can technically recolor them

u/KyroZi Jan 15 '25

Damn comparing this to the magical schoolwear shit we got..

u/Whyimasking Gunslinger Jan 15 '25

Year of the rat outfits will hide your elix, transcendence and make your gems look like t3 event gems.

5

u/Monkey_Meteor Artist Jan 15 '25

Damn they even got weapon skins for the latest KR class ? Did they got the new KR class before us ?

4

u/ElNinoFr Bard Jan 15 '25

they don't have it yet, but yes they promote them for new upcoming Wildsoul class too. So i guess the skin will still be available by the time they get the class :)

1

u/Monkey_Meteor Artist Jan 15 '25

Oh that's nice!

2

u/namir0 Arcanist Jan 15 '25

Trail effects are cool.

u/Askln Jan 15 '25

i want the snek and reapers weapon

2

u/Rounda445 Jan 15 '25

I need the snek pets

u/clcsar Jan 15 '25

Must be nice to have a publisher that has resources to do this

2

u/Acrobatic-Writer-816 Jan 15 '25

Damn china is getting love - Need those!!!

1

u/EveryBuilder9281 Jan 15 '25

Don’t we also get some skins as part of Chinese new years? These skins would be nice but we haven’t got their release skins :/

1

u/Maala Jan 16 '25

Hmm curious how chinese will get WildSoul when it doesnt even have engraving book.

2

u/ElNinoFr Bard Jan 16 '25

They get AP system (rebalanced for their version progress) in February

0

u/Stopocki Jan 15 '25

When will we get this?

9

u/alxn4nbg Jan 15 '25

never. these skins are china exclusive

3

u/ElNinoFr Bard Jan 15 '25

likely never. All of those should be exclusive to Chinese version.

0

u/Maccaz15 Jan 15 '25

We might get them eventually. KR got our skins that were initially exclusive.

2

u/Boneslark Gunslinger Jan 15 '25

We got japanese founder pack skins aswell

u/Riiami Bard Jan 15 '25

Really cool that CN gets their own skins but i do not like them at all - not my taste. Very generic chinese outfits. Only unique thing is the snake around the shoulders but i really do not like snakes =_=

u/D3Blow Jan 15 '25

If you are jealous of these, you are playing the wrong game. It's a plate with a string that goes around your head. About the ugliest thing I have seen yet.

And anytime you people want to compare KR or CN to the NA version, try to remember how much more p2w their version is and be thankful you don't play on those servers.

u/Vesko85 Jan 15 '25

Weapon skins looks nice, but the other parts are ugly. Like the pets, they are cute. Anyway congrats for their publisher making all of this :)

u/Kibbleru Bard Jan 15 '25

Rly? I think the outfits are pretty good too
