Guild Wars 2

So, ANet, I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but the Blackhawks just brought home the cup. I would really like to have a Lord Stanley’s Cup item available in the Gemstore (Tooltip describing how my team wonderfully captured it this year) , as well as a beautiful, crisp, Blackhawks Jersey availaible to purchase, for all of my characters town clothes, who knows, you might just make money off of it :P

The licensing fees and work required for generation of the items mentioned would far outway the potential profit.

Not sure how this fits into the Guild Wars 2 universe and lore.

Balckhawks are OP and should be nerfed!

Haha, Blachawks are indeed OP, and I don’t care if ANet loses money, as long as I can sport my Blackhawks Jersey in game, even if they have to ghetto rig it by changing a few features of the Indian and Tomahawks! Say three feathers instead of four, different hairlines, forehead lines, etc…etc… Widen or narrow the stripes a bit, plenty of ways around it. I am selfish, they can even call it a Schwarzhawk Jersey, I dont care! :P They avoided any licensing fees from Lucas Arts, when they created the knockoff Stormtrooper gear from Sorrows Embrace, and Lucas Arts licensing fees are actually higher than that of the NHL’s, they avoided any lawsuits with them (So far), why not with the NHL as well?

To tie it into in-game lore and garbage, say they are the premier Keg-Brawl team. As far as I know, both are played on the ice, and both are quite physical! As for the Cup, make it a silver keg with a cup on top! Perhaps it could be a hammer skin, held upside down, and wielded by a norn like a champ, after all, who doesn’t want to be hit in the head with the Stanley Cup? You can name it Lord Stanrreys cup, like the Asians in a “Christmas Story” would pronounce it.

Norn ale mugs are already about the right size to use for the Cup. Get a raven for your Ranger and just pretend he’s a black hawk. You can even name him Stanley. Get your light armored character the feathered armor set. Maybe buy a hoodie and dye it red, white, and black. Go out and find some brown bears (bruins) to kill. You can probably create a Sylvari that looks a lot like Tommy Hawk. Just use your imagination.

When football season rolls around again, root for my Forty Niners to win it all. Then we can ask GW2 to celebrate their championship by letting us have an in-game GOLD RUSH.

Who are the Blackhawks?

Who are the Blackhawks?

I will give you a hint, they are not a wussy baseball, soccer, basketball or football team.

Poor Canucks, they will never win a keg brawl. Go Oilers!

If they do that can you imagine how many other sports leagues they would have to add.
-MLB
-NFL
-NBA
-NCAA
-EUFA
-Barley Premiere League
-MLS
-World Cup
-Olympics

+ anything Chicago related is corrupt and involves the mafia somehow

GW2 is a worldwide game. As someone who lives in a country that is not America, like half of GW2’s playerbase, I do not support this idea. Keep your sports out of my game -_-

Well, i think this willn’t happen because like Wolfey already said you need to add lots of sport leagues and Arenanet need to pay some for some rights, to launch such things.

Hockey is an American sport? Take that Canada!

>.> No, American Hockey teams are American… Real world sports teams have no place in a fantasy world. It would be akin to putting American Presidential election badges in game. There are just too many players in other parts of the world for that to ever be a good idea. Nobody in Europe or Oceania wants to see that. (Before someone says ‘American Servers’ its worth pointing out that all of Oceania and anywhere that is outside of Europe plays on the US servers.)

Hockey is Canadian. So is Superman by the way and basketball was accredited to a Canadian as well. To say Hockey is American would be like saying the Asuran gates were invented by Sylvari.

Hockey has Egyptian roots but whatever…. The word itself comes from Old English.
To say that Hockey is Canadian would be like saying that the Mursaat are gods…
