I know this is a topic that has been posted previously on this forum. But it’s been over a month since the last real post discussing the scaling of the asura weapons, and having seen no updates on the topic or real improvements (in fact i’d say we’ve seen more bugs with the weapons than fixes) i thought i’d keep this topic going.
First off just like to say that despite the weapon design flaws the asura is actually one of the most enjoyable races to play on gw2. The running + evasive anamations, and the voices of the characters make the asura race much more fun to play than any of the other races on the game. However, despite these perks I feel that the simple size of the weapons on the race make it extremely difficult for new players + existing alt characters to want to choose the race. The scaling is so off that staff’s look like toothpicks, shields look like school backpacks and greatswords resemble katana’s the are that thin and small. It’s extremely hard to maintain the interest to seek higher exotics and legendary weapons when they look so off scale. I could accept having smaller weapons when i chose the race. But staff’s, shields and greatswords that aren’t even big enough to fit over the shoulders of the asura character? I’ve noticed too that this is worsened when the weapon is put onto your character’s back it seems to shrink. Unless i’m mistaken surely this is a big design flaw with the race that needs resolving?
I know with the numerous bugs/fixes/upcoming events the game designers are up to their neck in updating the game. But it does seem that this is an obvious flaw that’s not changed since beta game came out.
