Guild Wars 2

So, while taking part in the Guild Wars (2), killing anything that deemed a threat, and some things that didn’t deem threats… My brother and I had come up with a few weapon types that seem like they would fit right in!

Whips – In any number fantasy settings, they use a either a bladed whip or one with a solid weight on one end, much like a flail. So why not bring that particularly devious weapon style into the world of Tyria?

Polearms – Both one handed and two handed spears and halberd type weapons, I know there are water based weapons of the same type, so why not bring the joy of poking someone with a stick onto the land? (Everyone wants to be a spartan, after all.)

The Crossbow – I know there are longbows, shortbows, and rifles.. So why not combine them into the ultimate short range, armor piercing, medieval weapon of bolted death?

Two-Handed Axes – This really speaks for itself here. What barbaric, war-loving Norn doesn’t want a massive battleaxe to swing around?

Just a few ideas here, so add your own flavor of fancy death toys!

All good ideas; I would also like to see the quarterstaff added.

I had the same idea, incidently it was after using the Whip weapon you get from the Nightmare Court during some of the story missions, and they are awesome.
Hell, you already have some of the animations, I’d love to see a Whip become a new two handed weapon.

Something that is mid range, the fills a role between melee and magic.
It’s something worth considering.

On a side note, has it been confirmed that Arenanet will be adding new weapon types in time? I suspect they have, but I do not know for sure.

Two-handed axe on a Charr… Mph.

Also, given that I already gave my Sylvari pointed ears, black skin, white hair and red eyes, it’d be stellar if I could give her a whip and crossbow, too.

1 idea i’m quite surprised they didn’t do was fists. I mean do we HAVE to duel wield or go 2 handed? what if I just want to be using a wand alone or or just use 1 sword.

Also some kinda throwing weapon would be nice, knifes, boomarang.

Shameless bump….good idea, IMO. Let’s get this thread rolling again!

BTW, we need new underwater weapons, too. Maybe daggers for underwater combat (not sure about this).

EDIT: Since throwing weapons were mentioned, how about chakrams? Chakrams could also be used in close combat, too.

Two Handed Axe makes tons of sense since there is a hammer/2h hammer; sword/2h sword. There are also numerous axe skills from Guild Wars 1 they can bring back. Executioner’s Strike, Decapitate, Dismember, Furious Axe, Cleave or see complete list here: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Axe_skills

No love for the 2h Axe I guess.

Maybe in the next expansion…
I think it’ll be a while at least before we get any new weapon types (they’re still working on improving the base game), but we can still give them good ideas. Don’t give up hope, yet…and good idea about using the axe skills from Guild Wars 1 (though new skills would be fine too…whatever works best).
