Guild Wars 2

This is just feedback, but the dagger looks kind of stupid, not many people would buy it and its currently on sale for 2-3g, whilst Scythe is 40g, almost 12 times the price.

The Hand is stupid, get rid of it.

Make the dagger look ceremonial and make it drop blood on the ground.

It’s definitely not a Greatsaw Greatsword….that’s for sure….rather disappointing, amusing idea, perhaps. However, it severely lacks the ‘cool’ factor of other items.

Yeah, its why its selling for 12 times less, because nobody serious would ever equipped it, or maybe equipped it once, then immediately try and resell it.

Scythe is 40g now? I picked one up for my level 6 necro last night for 22g o.O

I haven’t seen the dagger skin yet. Anyone have a picture?

Its a hand.. attached to an ugly looking dagger….

Honestly, it should be completely remade to be some kind of ceremonial dagger… example…

It’s just a dagger….with part of a hand still attached to the grip. So…you’re wielding a dagger with a hand on it. I’d rather be dual wielding glow sticks, but I think all daggers look pretty awful honestly.

Yeah… but to have this thing added with the already lack of good dagger appearances is a slap in the face, currently its either… “Rambo Dagger.” or “Giant Oversized Knife”…

I just want an ordinary looking dagger.

wait, it’s a hand, holding a dagger? can’t i throw the hand away and keep the dagger? i mean, it only gets in the way, even of animations. my stabs are now punches.

But it’s halloween..! This weapon lets you recreate a scene from The Mummy! :>

I want a dagger that every time you kill someone it takes blood from them or something with a cool effect.. not a mummy hand with a poor dagger skin attached, ceremonial daggers ftw!

yeah, I will agree that they definitely are making more of an effort on some items cough greatswords cough then others, I really hope that they change this as I don’t really like any of the current dagger skins available. Here’s to hoping someone discovers a new recipe or Anet decides its time for some new daggers!

Well, the dagger part of the skin on this looks like it was made with 24 bits, the blood on it looks like squares and it looks like a plastic toy with a plastic hand holding it…

Meanwhile chain sword looks huge and amazing, with chains revolving around the middle and its own sound effects.

What Players want:
“Ninja Daggers”

What Players Get:
“Rambo/Hunting Knives.”

What Players want for Halloween:
“Ceremonial/Demon Daggers.”

What Players get for Halloween:
“Cheap Plastic Wal-mart toy gag dagger.”

:(

It’s a fact that ArenaNet loves Greatswords and Warrior things a like, anything big really gains the favor in terms of design because it’s easier to do cool stuff with it.

However I think ArenaNet should take on the challenge to do something really cool with smaller weapons too. Anyway for now we just have to deal with it that Daggers get the short end of the stick.

On topic, yeah the dagger does kinda suck.

Btw hint of creativity for ArenaNet, a Dagger design that shows just the hilt when seathed and when drawn it shows a red/black tentacle as a blade.

Cmon I just made that up in like 30 seconds, it isn’t that hard ANet!

Lol, “cheap plastic Wal-mart toy gag daggers”. Yea, I have to admit they are a bit lack luster in comparison to the chainsaw greatsword and spider bow. The daggers aren’t quite for me, but they are still charming in sorta tacky-ish(?) halloween decoration way if you enjoy that sorta theme~

It would have been cool to do a different weapon themed dagger, like they did with the scythe/staff. Like Halloween sickles or Cobweb Chakrams. :P For whatever reason, I find Sickles pretty darn scary. Maybe I have read too many crazed farmer stories. XD Freaky looking sickles + a wicked scarecrow costume and you’d be set.

I don’t see how you could not enjoy a 2handed dagger.

I guess they should of went the giant bloody butcher knife/meat cleaver route though.

We already have plenty of hunting knives/butcher knives/rambo knives…

I think the dagger is a pretty cool concept, just wasn’t done all that well.

Agreed, it’s far more interesting then a chainsaw….but it just was not done as well as it could have been.

What would make that dagger cool is if the hand/arm writhed and wiggled.

or any sort of effect would be good, the idea itself is halloween-ish and I like it, but without effects im not interested in getting it

Haha, you guys are silly

Expecting effects/cool things for non greatswords.

If they are going to make a great detailed greatsword….why bother adding other weapons that aren’t as well done? It’s poor work. I know they can come up with awesome ideas/designs, I just wish they’d actually DO it for more than a few weapons, while tossing the daggers to the plastic wal-mart toy bin.

They should have went with a Kandarian dagger – Evil Dead 2 verison. I would have loved my elemental using 2x of those Kandarian daggers.

I wish they would make better looking “daggers”…

I’m tired of toys and hunting knives and rambo knives and butcher knives…

I’m actually starting to get annoyed with the Greatsword Favoritism. Makes me wish I actually had a class that used one. The hand/dagger looks like crap on my asura, it’s so small you can’t even tell it’s a hand holding it, just a really ugly handle.

And speaking of the halloween weapons, the crafted ones need some particles or something, considering how much they actually cost to make. I just don’t get it.

In a game where literally the only thing to look forward to is Cosmetic skins, Anet really sucks making them…

I totally agree! Anet seems to be tripping over themselves making cool skins for great-swords while the other weapons, like the dagger, seem to be designed by New intern Jimmy and half a Mars bar.

Yep… not very fair, lol the severed dagger is now 2g whilst the reaper scythe is 40g/greatsword is 50g…

i like the Steam Dagger skin…if you look closely, the blades move

I think the hand holding the dagger is creative. How does one attack with that skin? Do they hold the dead hand’s hand while swinging the dagger? o.O

I thought it was a pretty clever idea for a dagger.

Who knows…maybe for Thanksgiving you guys will get a steam powered turkey carver :p
