Guild Wars 2

Hello all. I’ve been playing RPG games for years. Was part of the original guild wars experience when prophecies came out and continued with it all the way. One of the things that I have noticed lately is many games are missing Great Axes and Polearms. Now I want to start a thread to get people’s take on these two types of weapons. I do not think the polearm would be hard to incorporate as it is bacically a longer spear with a wider blade on the end. I believe you could swing this very much like the scythe in the original Guildwars game. I’d like to see both these weapons in the game i think it would give a flavor right now that is missing from many online games.

A Polearm with a large AoE range auto-attack. I like it.

And a lance please

I rarely look up the forums, but for this i would love to participate.

Honestly i was thinking about the same thing the other day, i was wondering why there are no 2H axes, or Polearms!?
I would love to see 2H Axes, and Polearms in the game, it will make the kitten nal richer, and you wont have only swords, shields, and shotguns around, but something else as well. Also if we can make the daggers better it will be also cool, some of them look just stupid.

thumps up for 2H Axes and Polearms!

Great axes, Halbreds, Lances, Hammers that are actually BIG, not hammers that look smaller than a freaking steel pipe and totally non intimidating (with the exception of like….3 skins? It’s ridiculous), which is really pathetic because hammers are supposed to be really intimidating, also Scythes (only for Necros/Thiefs though…maybe Mesmers? idk).

There’s plenty of weapons that many of us would like to see added. The concept art on Warrior already showed a large Axe closely resembling a 2 handed Axe, but it was never added.

Personally I would love to see the return of throwing spears. Would also really like to see normal spears (for land use), flails, crossbows and possibly a BO staff.

That being said, I’m sure I read somewhere that they won’u be implemented new weapons for a long time (if ever). They’d only be updating already existing ones.

I am not sure about the throwing spears (javlins) in this case but I do agree with the ability to use spears in a land based situation.
