Guild Wars 2

So, the simple topic I am bringing up after a while of considering this is:

1. Underwater Weapons used On Land

This seems like something that’s probably been brought up a few times but I wonder if its really been heard properly, the first topic id like to bring up, is why we cant simply use spears, tridents and even impractical as it may be, harpoon guns, on land.

It seems like something far easier to program by using existing models, and adding a few new over-water skills for them, than to add new weapons that will require months of additional programming.

So, simply put, I am not posing my idea of what each class ability should be over land, but rather, why not simply allow players to use spears, tridents and harpoon guns over land as well as under water, just for verity sake, and possibly more options for combat over land.

Naturally, their weapons would be limited to what they have already unlocked class wise, meaning classes with spears and tridents may not use harpoon guns if they cant, or trident wielders and harpoon gun users being unable to use spears.

But it adds an interesting few extra options to game play, thoughts?

2. Why even have armor types?

Aside from a small difference in visual aesthetic there isn’t really much reason to have differing armor types anymore since skin collection would essentially nullify the point of having to collect them on multiple alts.

I propose simply redesigning armor into “armor” and allowing players full customization rights of every armor type regardless of class, allowing them to truly give themselves a unique identity cosmetic wise.

As to how to avoid flooding someone with so many armors to choose from:

- Option A, have a favorites list so players can choose what specific armors they prefer customization wise.
- Option B, have each armor split out into specific categories while allowing people to mix and match armor types, e.g. “Robes/Leathers/Plate”

Either way, the point of armor seems utterly redundant now that the entire system’s only reason for separating it is to give “some” uniqueness for class identity, which actually makes it counter-productive since it doesn’t really matter at this point anyway.

I can imagine it may take time to script/program a system that would allow all armor types to be wielded on a player but I don’t see much reason “not” to include it.

Food for thought.

Speaking of which, thoughts?

I didnt read it all but I disagree with the armor idea that’s where I had to post. No just no I like that it forces you to wear armor within that class being that if it didnt you would see warriors etc female with hardly any clothes on because they can access that armor skin now I much prefer that the armor class forces some to be somewhat civil and decent to a females body.

The only underwater weapon that makes sense on land is the spear. Creating weapon skins doesn’t seem like a very difficult thing for the anyway. They are the most common skin additions to the game.

We already know 2 isn’t possible due to armor seams. They’ve explained that when talking about the changes town clothing becoming outfits and why they are all or nothing. They would need to go redo every piece of armor in the game to make it work and

Your Warrior can already wear this:

even while in combat.

Those outfits look so heavy your character cannot get up after they sit down, right?

I don’t count town clothes which is why I’m trying to get a refund of gems for mine and you got 4 out of how many armor sets? many of the sets are not like that ok? so before you throw those out there look at the broad picture if they had access to some of the light/medium armors they would have hardly any clothes on because they can mix and match the nearly topless with basically no pants (vigil’s Honor Leggings for medium as an example) at least zodiac from what I’ve seen doesnt really mix well with other armors and yes I have zodiac btw Arah is about the best full set that is rather revealing but to me it looks intimidating that’s because I had to run arah to get it so I have respect for excuse me HAD respect for those with it now they can just pvp for 2 days maybe and have it I don’t like that I had to work for mine and it was hard groups still fall apart at lupi.
