Q:
new weapons
there was mention many months ago about a battle ax (2h ax) because there was an image of a warrior with one on the main page. a dev said something to the effect of, “let’s keep some fun stuff for future content.” they definitely do intend on adding more weapons, but honestly, how many more can they actually do? i do not think there are nun-chucks in tyria, but i guess they could do halberds and some others, but even so with added classes they may create new weapons, as well with expanding the map to include the other continents which would add new races and classes, and new cultures, so there are possibilities.
2h axe, Polearms including halberd, bill or out of water spear. Hand weapons like knuckle dusters or claws (zhang he if you play DN). Or have hand held things for magic like a power stone or something. Or just let each class use a new existing weapon?
New weapons would be nice, also they could expand on the current weapons and allow more classes to use more weapons.
Throwing knives and Shurikens for Thief can be cool.
Also 2-hand crossbow for ranger, or double 1-handed crossbow for ranger/thief. (1-hand crossbow with dagger/sword/axe in other = Ubercool).
Thieves could perhaps have Sai-weapons as switch to go defensive and a pain to hit while they counter you also. And to be honest a Ninja sword could be great. I know they are now called thieves, but they are still ninja-assasins in my eyes, and i like those lol:) After all, i think the thieves give better ninja-game then Assasins creed!)
I think additional weapons is definitely something Arenanet is going to be working on in the near future. But as of now I don’t think they are even working on additional armaments. But besides that I would love to see my Necromancer with a two-handed melee weapon (Scythe).
what i REALLY want are at least 3 choices for weapon skill slots per weapon choice. also Arcane attunement for ele’s
