Guild Wars 2

It may be sort of a nitpicky thing, but I’ve done way more than enough for Arena Net so that I may be able to demand certain aesthetics for my weapons. The Pommel on the Eternity has two versions, one day and one night. The night time version is ok, mediocre but acceptable. The daytime version looks like some kid who discovered the Microsoft Paint program for the first time and just added generic folds of rainbows. It has a crystalline Pommel interlaced with cheap rainbow folds of color. It looks atrocious.

There is no depth, no life, no imagination to the graphic. It literally leaves me feeling as though I own a cheap knock-off of of the entire Bifrost or Dreamer design. I would take a page from the Bifrost code and perhaps borrow a little of that Dreamer magic and add it to the most prestigious Great Sword in the game.

BTW, everything else about the Eternity is breath taking. :-)

i actually love everything about eternity besides me not having one

Wyrden:
If you get one, you will notice what I mean. You will spend considerable amounts of time marveling every detail and trust me on this, the Pommel is the Achilles Heal of the Eternity. I have talked with other players who have one and we all agree that this could and should be fixed in an upcoming upgrade. You just don’t spend the kind of blood sweat and tears to obtain a weapon like this which isn’t virtually perfect in every regard. I need to reiterate that by and large the Sword surpasses all of my expectations on every other element.

You want sparkling rainbows on the fractal greatsword??

i wanted to go for eternity but the gem on the hilt tip really made me hesitant and tbh i rather prefer the aestethics of sunrise/twilight over eternity. those hilts look way better.

so what i propose:

when you look at the concept art of those 2 swords you will notice that their hilt tips are quite different from what we have ingame:

i think it would be nice to remove the eternity gem and replace it with an orb. a full ball not that strange shape we have on sunrise/twilight.

while it is day the orb shines in the color of the sun, no rainbows.

while night the orb turns black and just that sickle of the moon shines in a white tone.

LOL, what have you done for them? Do you work for ArenaNet? Have you bought a bunch of stock in the company? If you really have earned the right to make demands, why do you have to resort to posting suggestions on the forums like everyone else? Just bring it up with Colin at the next board meeting!

Sorry Guys/Gals

My Bad. It was the Graphics Settings on my card that made the difference. I’ll make a long story endless.

I was standing around and noticed that everyone looked identical. They all had this hideous gray colored armor on and with a hood to match. Honest to Goodness !
I thought I was in some episode of the Body Snatchers and that all of sudden if I went to sleep I would wake up and look just like everyone else. I asked someone about this and they said to check my graphics settings and ….low and behold….the answer to the Body Snatcher AND Sword Pommel conundrum. The Eternity Sword Pommel looks just fine.

My apologies.
