This might just be because I find this to be needed in the game because I want my character to be “optimized” in the way it looks.

I would really like to have rapiers in this game, and thin sabres. This would be complete with a medium/heavy armour set that looks like the uniforms from 15-16th century.

Also, I am unhappy with the name on one of my characters, and I think it would be awesome if A-net added a namechanging kit, just like you did with the character customization kit.

I don’t know about tailored armor sets for that specific look/century. This is a fantasy game after all and the looks of new gear should be in line with the old/current. That being said I’d love to see a couple more weapon/armor skins.

I’m sure they’ll be adding name changes at some point in the near future. I think that’s about the only thing they have left in terms of reworking your character after creation.

I don’t think it is asking to much to have Rapiers or Sabers or scimitars in the game. Also not a bad idea for name change either
+1 +1 +1

Now with that said also realize that I would rather have Arena Net work on stuff like bugs or glitches or actual problems or balancing issues in the game before new skins and names for weapons.

Raine, we are talking about a sequel to a game that featured a rapier on a piece of commonly-used promotional artwork (even if such a weapon didn’t actually appear in-game). Additionally, I have a GW2 art card (“The Thief Queen” by Horia Dociu) that features a rapier.

Personally, I think it would be a great weapon skin for sword-capable light armour professions. And, on rare occasions, heavy armour characters with a sense of class. :P

Pretty sure the staff behind weapon skin art and implementation have nothing to do with any of those unless they actually affect weapon and player appearance. In fact this should almost go without saying, to be honest. :\

I’m assuming your referring to my comment about it being a fantasy game and with that you misunderstood me. I’m totally on board for sabers/rapiers to make a debut. What I didn’t want to see are uniforms from the 15th-16th century as the OP stated. I’d rather see what creative fantasy armor some of the artists could come up with to compliment such weapons.

So I did. Sorry. x_X
Now, I shall make a bee-line for the kettle, because clearly I need to wake up. >_>
