Guild Wars 2

Dear Arenanet,

Ive always been a great fan since ive played all the campaigns of gw1 and now enjoying the world of tyria in gw2.

Fortunaly ive also enjoyed many other games and one game in particular next to gw is the series of Dynasty Warriors!

The diversity of every character in every new game that pops up just amazed me! the Armor styles, the weapons, the use of magic as infused in the weapon or for certain characters as true magic users.

Please play Warriors Orochi 3 and get sick ideas for the game. For example have I always seen Xu Huang as the sickest Dervish ever with a giant 2hand axe with which he erupts the ground with one of his combos in this game!

For the idea of weapons this game is sure to get some ideas.

this link shows gameplay of Xu Huang, His Musou attack is awesome!

in this game you find characters figthing with the following crazy weapons:

Gauntlets!!! NORN GUARDIAN!!!
Fans!! HUMAN ELEMENTALIST!!!
Wristbows and Wristswords!!!! THIEF!!!
Crossbows!!! RANGERS AND ENGINEERS!!!

Bladed yoyo and a clock which can yoyo with bladed hands!!!
a Fishingrod, Orbs, spearcannon, massive kitana’s, prayer beads, a guitar and flute for music magic!

Dogu’s which spit energy balls!!! PERFECT FOR ELE WITH ITS ATUNNEMENTS!!!

And many many many more! TO MUCH TO PUT IN THIS SUGGESTION!

Also are the armors of these characters really sick. They might be a much too Canthan but im sure Anet can take a blank look and creat their own fantasy tyrian style armor out of this!!

Now you can see that i am much to enthousiastic about this idea, but for me would it be like a great way for the game to play much more diverse now that we have an absolute great system with the so called weaponskills.

I would say, play the game, taste a litle of the characters, see how the DW series mixed weapons, magic and fighting style, and make the Dervish Xu Huang ive been dreaming of :p.

Oh and PS: what i also liked about gw1 was that it was not neccesary to take an elite skill. sometimes in gw2 I prefer to take an fourth utility skill because the elite skills in this game are something you guys really need to work on. :P

Werkse! (enjoy your time at work today!)

I agree, I want the same gameplay then I can steamroll enemies by pressing auto-attack onlyand get all the sweet loot there is.

Maybe they could use some of the looks/weapons for any future Cantha expansion content since as you said its abit too asian themed for the current game.

I hope they get Cantha and Elona back in the running, for then, yeah those weapons would be appropiate.

I love this idea I never thought anyone would mention DW! >.<

That last link was so blatantly Japanese (meaning the overall flavor of the action) I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. :P I mean, the bullet time, the physics defying, the pose and power ranger explosion behind them?

But yeah, I like that stuff. I’ve been a fan of that stuff since I was a kid and still like it. But it’s way different from the style GW2 aims for.

That said, I would think it awesome if there was a ‘musical’ profession that could use daggers in the main hand and flutes/one-handed instruments in the off hand as well as two handed instruments like harp, guitars and such.
