So this has been bugging me ever since release. I picked the Asura cause I really think they are a cool race with interesting lore and awesome animations. But one thing, and this is not a tiny thing i would argue, is that the weapon models look waaay too small on Asuras. It’s really a shame, because a lot of the end game content of Gw2 revolves arounf making your character look the coolest. Weapons are a huge part og this. It’s what drives you to farm hours on end for rare materials, so you can craft an epic looking weapon. I often see cool weapon skins wich I’d love to take my time farming for, but then when I preview the items on my character I simply get disappointed and decide to drop it.
I get that the Asura race is very small, but it seems like ArenaNet has really exaggerated when scaling the weapons down to “Asura-size”. I would love to make a legendary for my Asura, but if my Bolt turns out looking the size of a dagger equipped on a human, then I’m just not gonna bother.
I’m not suggesting that they should be the size of human weapons, but a slight increase (maybe 10-20%) would really do the trick. I know I’m not alone on this part. I found this post on the Asura-section here on the forums, but it’s very old and it seems like it’s been buried by now, so Anet would never see it. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/races/asura/One-problem-with-Asura-Tiny-weapons/first#post120871
The post talks about the same issues with lots of players agreeing.
I decided this post would qualify for the suggestion forum, since… Well it’s basically a suggestion that I feel is much needed.
I hope more of you will give a thumbs up on this, so maybe the devs will consider doing someting about it.
See you all in Tyria.
