Guild Wars 2

Most likely someone already told the OP this , but he is wrong.

My norns staff also changes size if im equipped or not.

Really , i love my asura (and my norn and my human actually lol) , and i wonder why people think they will get the smallest race to actually wield big weapons.

I would like to scale bigger (atleast 25%) when the weapon is out and 10% bigger when is not.

+1

I think the problem is the worst with 2h weapons, but i would like to see dagger scaled up a bit too.

Completely agree.

Part of the appeal of a tinier bodied race is so they can wield the same size weapons (reasonably) and look more epic doing so!

I never noticed this as an Asuran thief.

Then, I made an Asuran Mesmer, and holy cow, what is up with my greatsword? It’s like it’s straight out of Journey to the West or something.

Yeah it seems like weapons of the same type aren’t always the same size. I have two great swords and one is a lot bigger than the other to the point where the large sized one looks correct and the other looks like it shrunk in the wash.

Pretty big over sight by Anet.

completely agree with the OP.

Some weapons seems OK, like Greatsword.. But Hammer and Staff : way to small … they look like toys

Not only are some weapons underwhelming but they clip with the ears >< because they are too small, making the weapons larger would solve the clipping problem.
Staff is biggest culprit. Hammers are so small I refuse to use them on my warrior.
I have 4 Asurans atm.

Strange thing is that Spear (underwater) is actually with a normal ratio! (goes over the head)

and now, this is how I feel when my Asura is holding his massive 2 handed hammer

I agree. I want to be able to see my fancy, expensive gear!

I agree. Bigger Asura weapons, pl0x.

/vote

That’s starting to be a big problem for me. And i don’t understand why cant they write something considering this… The players what to know will there be any changes?

lol It’s true. I have an amazing shortbow. Doesn’t show its amazingness on my tiny body. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY TRENCHCOAT BLOCKS EVERYTHING, BECAUSE I HAVE MEDIUM ARMOR, AND EITHER I GO NUDE ON TOP OR TRENCH IT.

other than that asura is lovely

I love the trenchcoat on my tiny thief. I wouldn’t be averse to other options for those who don’t though.

Totally Agree, Asura weapons are way too tiny.

They should MASSIVE WEAPONS like anime chars with huge swords.
Even the human weps are too small, they made the big races too dam big.

way-way too tiny, cannot properly enjoy scythe on necromancers staff, asura deserve huge weapons, such unproportious weapons would fit their mentality, floating city style and big golems.

I’ve wanted larger weapons since forever ago. The weapon scaling need to be at least 30% larger for asura right now.

bigger weapons more epicness plz dont discriminate the asuras

It’s not the size of your weapon that matters, but how u hack their knee caps off with ur axe

Hey guys, I made a similar thread in the suggestion forums. I think that’s a better place to discuss this if we really want them to change anything about the weapon size.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Weapon-scaling-and-asura

Simple solution trolls ,do not make smallest one !
Or play charr or norn iff you want huge weapons .
Oh you wont be op then?

This point was clearly important enough for you to make a new topic about :>

Two-handed weapons at least look proportionally smaller on asura than on other races, it looks a bit daft.

Armors looks boring on Asura. Sorry to say this but in comparison to other races. It have big differences.

Screenshot below are the SAME armor I crafted and I put on preview between 2 races. You decide which one looks best.

For the whole time, I have been wondering why all the armors I got looks like crap. How are other people getting those epic looks while in the past 80 levels. None of them looks good at all.

Then I made a human and do a preview armor test on them… Sorry, I’m rerolling. I don’t mine making the same profession and level it again. It was disappointing, for spending all my times on an Asura at the end.

I know stats wise what’s count the most but I’m on of the person also prefer styles. Especially in sPVP, stats are all same across all gears but the look makes up everything.

U P and U P

asura have little weap and orrible armor skin why?

to me, in your example the Asuran armour looked best. But.. i /hate/ sexy armour. Its one reason i love playing asura, because the ‘sexy’ versions of armour seem to be less revealing on the asura. In your example, though, even the headpiece on the asura looks better to me ^^

i also don’t mind the tiny size of asura weapons, but perhaps that is because i have a large monitor? i dunno. i have never felt i had any trouble seeing the details on my weapons.

sorry you all are unhappy though!

Indeed, us vertically challenged individuals need some form of compensation!

Speaking of which, does anyone know which is the biggest, most onstentatious looking GS skin? Or at least one thats doesn’t turn out like a silly little butterknife anyway.

this troll post about to tiny weapons XD XD XD XD. OP you are doing it like a boss XD.

Signed.

My Molten Hammer of the dungeon Citadel of Flame looks like a kid’s toy on my Asuran Guardian.

Please fix and make weapons and also armor look cooler on Asurans.

ya know, compared to humans asura /are/ kid sized (actually they are smaller than human children! – probably human toddler sized). so the fact that their weapons look like “kid’s toys” makes sense, doesn’t it?

how big of a weapon can a human-toddler sized warrior hold??

I completely agree. I hope the increase the size of our weapons as well as creating some better looking 2 handed hammers!

Going to have to agree with OP and all the other posts about asuran armor. The screen shots from DJRiful is a perfect example of what is wrong here.

You take a light armor set and show on a humanoid char: it looks incredibly detailed and awsome. Put it on an Asuran and it looks like a total joke. With all the clipping issues and lack luster armor ports to Asuran I can only come to the conclusion that they rushed this race to meet release date (?).

Out of all the sets, only one I can get to make my female asura look marginally passable is using the Winged set. Even then I get clipping issues with the back part of the leg armor. Now take that set, view it on a humanoid and see that it’s beautiful; it does not clip either for the most part. Clearly all armors are designed with human models first and foremost…

After thought race is after thought (?).

Hopefulley they fix us up better and bring us at least 1/2 the level of detail humaniods enjoy with their armor and weapons. /beg

As a side note, I have yet to see a staff or weapon other than maybe 2 hand swords that look decent on an Asura. They are all tiny and they all clip into armor as well. Every single one! I have to take off all my gear to even see 99% of them in preview. Ok…

Also like to mention that guild back packs are also one the worst offenders with clipping. Using my winged set; all I see of that pack is a whisker of my guild symbol. Suffice to say, my guild pack is always ‘hidden’.

We need some love here, I pray devs will fix some of this. First one I would do (biased!) is fixed the winged light armor pants back part b/c it would be really really nice if half of it wasn’t clipping.

p.s. yet another complaint I have is dyeing armors: even if you use the same set, the colors rarely if ever match up. It always looks mismatched. Hats are the worst and they are always one shade too dark. So many problems with asuran gears, yep…

Instead of the size of the weapons I’m actually more bothered by the way some of them inexplicably clip through the floor.

For some reason certain two-handed weapons are always sheathed lower down your back than normal on an Asura and the tip goes right through the floor. This is quite common with greatswords and staves; hammers less so. If they were simply sheathed in the same place as other weapons of the same type they would be fine, and other races don’t seem to have this bug either. No one ever seems to pick up on it though…

Only the “shrinkage” of the 2H weapons when stowed on the back really bothers me. I don’t mind about smaller weapons in general, just that “elastic” quality of the size of 2H-ers. I wouldn’t mind a bit of shrinkage, but it’s just too much, it’s disconcerting.

I grouped MK with an legendary wielding Asura and it looked pretty size appropriate. Both sheathed and unsheathed.

Maybe the 2H weapon is saying it’s just cold outside

Sorry couldn’t help it when I read “shrinkage”.

I just wish the weapons were placed higher on the back like they are with other races. This would make the weapon look and feel at a better size.

gree all, today i can see the preview of the predator in my asura engineer and compared when is weilding by a Human is tooooooo small. When is wealding by a human is a big riffle, not the bigest ( chaarzuka ) but is pretty big and detailed, but in the asura is super small and is hard to see the details in the tubes and the lion head.

I agree with this post… i cant see my asura’s dagger which is so tiny)

DJRiful.3749:

Here how it should be:

Absolutely agree ! Not sure if anything can be done with pistols or daggers. =/

agree 100%. it’s sad for me because Asura have a great storyline and the best racial skills and yet their armor is goofy & weapons are miniscule.

Noting will be done because Arenanet dosn’t listen to the problem’s we see in the game -.-

Staff is stupid! You can actually see this size increase when you pull it out easily, it’s so off putting and cheap!

My staff gets considerably bigger when I hold it in my hand.

… and in the game, as well.

I really hope they don’t make Asura gear normal sized. I would re-roll every one of my Asuras if I had to lug around giants weapons. As much as I love Asura(5 Asuras to date, 3 are 80 and Exotic), giant weapons would be such a huge turn off.

usually i don’t mind small weapons on my characters, however, the shrinking and growing weapon issue is obviously a bug and should be fixed
although it’s kinda funny to have a staff that defies the laws of physics ^^

I’d like to be able to see my daggers while I am clothed, thank you.

Monkey’s Magic Wishing Staff.

That is all.

This thread is silly asking for something that’s static size for a reason. If the weapons were larger they’d all clip into the ground as bad as the charrzooka does on asura. I’m a max size, max muscled asura and I think my weapons look fine. I notice the small to big change, but honestly other races do it too.
Make a max size human, you get the same effect, same with sylvari. Interestingly enough charr don’t encounter this problem(or its really subtle) and it seems all their gear is a set to a certain size regardless of height or body type. And max size norns do it just a tiny bit.

So asura aren’t the only offender. It’s the way it is is because of the relative body size to the ground.

I agree 100%

I completely regret making an asura now as it’s a complete waste of time to bother grinding for weapon or armor skins because they look like crap.

Considering that’s the only carrot in this game it makes me not want to play at all.

Fixt it for you.
