Guild Wars 2

I know it’s unrelated to the GW2 Universe, and that there is already an MMO with the franchise but… LIGHT SABERS !!! We need them!!! I really want to make a Sith (red light saber pls!!!)!

I think Arenanet should board the Star Wars train, it’s more than just a franchise (and indirect competition to GW2), it’s pop culture and it’s back for the new generations.

If this selfish request of mine actually makes it through the dev team, I sware I’ll buy some skins from the gemstore without using the gold transfer.

Are you actually suggesting copyright infringement, or some cheap knockoff?

Star Wars franchise is owned by another company (Disney.) it being indirect competition should make ppl think and not ask to interfere.

Why can’t you be happy just playing in Tyria, instead of having to hop sideways to The Old Republic?

It’s not like it’s gw2 needs: “Help me Dev-The-One-and-only, you are my only hope.”

And don’t get upset, and don’t fear it never be implenented.
“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering.”

(Just as a reminder check the spirit names of the Ritualist in Gw1.)

Otterpaws pointed out we already have some cheap knockoff. And, IMO, it looks horrible. LOL.

Nah, we dont need lightsabers. We need Capes!

Ahh. The official wiki seems to have no plasma weapon skins gallery, or images.

Dulfy has it though. http://dulfy.net/2015/11/17/gw2-plasma-weapon-skins-gallery/

The sword is probably the closest we’ll ever get to lightsabers. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/gw2-plasma-sword-skin.jpg

Edit: I remember people made fun of the greatsword and how bad it looked when these were released. lol

Not red, but kinda light saber-ish:

Of course they can’t exactly copy a light saber, there are always problems with copyright stuff. What I’m talking about is stuff similar to the plasma weapons, as OtterPaws pointed out! Something similar to this:

Capes are a completely different business, Arenanet has stated that it involves technology that is currently inexistent in GW2. But I’d love to have those too.

Why MUST you make a Star Wars-like character in a game that has absolutely nothing space-related? There is, keep in mind, a Star Wars-based MMO out there. If you want a Sith, go play that. I’m all for adding cool weapon skins to the gem store, but we already have the plasma weapons and a few other beam-like weapons. GW2 is GW2. If you don’t like the setting, that’s okay – but don’t expect the game to change just for you.

If they wanted to maximize profits from the gemstore they’d rerelease the skins players have been begging for for years, e.g. aviator sunglasses, bunny ears, etc.

Easy buddy! I don’t want the game to change, just a light saber themed weapon. One weapon skin won’t break GW2, it will be OK. Besides it’s very possible to have a similar weapon with Asura technology

That’s basically to create “false” scarcity and be a lot more successful when they’re reintroduced in the game. We’ve seen that before, so I believe this is the reason why.

The point is that we already have similar weapons – the plasma weaponset. Why retrod the same ground purely because one person wants to roleplay a Sith in a game that has nothing to do with Star Wars?

Not to even touch on the fact that if the weapons (I highly doubt Anet will ever release just a single weapon skin for a single weapon type) are too similar to Star Wars ones, there’s the entire issue of copyright infringement.

So why waste time making colored or slightly different variations of already-made weapons when we could get different weaponsets that haven’t been done yet?

Wtb green glyphic blade.

We have a disco ball legendary and you’re worried about a request for a weapon that is similar to the ones of star wars. I can give you a pretty solid reason why I made this request: because I want it and I’ll buy it, and many others will also. If it sells it’s not wasted time, and it will sell.

As long as DC Comics doesn’t sue I’m cool with it. Capes are a big reason why we need to upgrade to a new API like Directx12 or Vulkan since capes that won’t clip would be so rad! :D

I’m still waiting for my swimming outfit.

lol, best common sense response i have ever seen.
yeah, plasma sword and incinerator are exact same idea so if copyright infringement is possibility from this, it is already too late. Give the man a kitten light saber!!!!!!

“LIGHT SABERS !!! We need them!!!”

I am sure the threat of physical violence I want to express is against the ToS. I also can’t tell you to “shut up you kittening kitten!” I guess I just have to express my content in one word:

No.
