Guild Wars 2

Please give us more weapon options.
Flails, two handed axes, bow Guardian, etc, etc…

agreed make it happen ><

Flails, yeah! Two-handed axes would be cool too. Hey, I’ll throw my idea out there again about magically charged throwing spears for elementalists.

Let’s expand our armory!

Ever since I saw the executioners axe that comes with the costume I have wanted 2 handed axes! Flails similar to the ones in reaper of souls would be awesome. Also land spears!

The hammer from the Tower of Nightmares update looks like a 2H axe.

Bow Guardian? This is as ridiculous as warriors having staves! -_-

We indeed need more options, but pls, lets keep the sense for roles.

It makes perfect sense for a warrior to wield a staff. He’ll just use it like people normally use staves: as a really long club.

Mesmers can use greatswords as ranged weapons, why can’t warriors use staves as melee weapons?

You do realize that Guardians summon a greatsword, hammer, shield and longbow?

Only the last one isn’t useable as an equipped weapon.

Axe is the only weapon without a 2-handed version. It would be nice to have one.

Lance, Gunlance, Katana… I really wanna have those.

I think it’s a safe bet that new weapon types will be introduced to the game sooner or later. It’s one of the best ways to incorporate new skills and playing styles since skills have become fixed to weapons in GW2. In addition, it plays into the gear acquisition system we have in place. People will be grinding away for new ascended and legendary weapons to have the best possible (insert weapon type).

Lance, Gunlance, Katana… I really wanna have those.

As much as I love the gunlance, I think that particular weapon is too indicative of the Monster Hunter series (although my Engineer would totally rock a gunlance if he could, as he does in MH3U and will do in MH4). Dunno if gunlances exist in any other game. However, lances and katanas would be cool, though the latter should be introduced alongside the Tengu if/when they become playable.

I do think that Gunlances are that sort of weapons Charrs would want to create.
So I do think it would definitely fit. But you’re right with your observation, I only have seen them in the MH series too. But kitten , I want them sooo badly.

Gunlances would be cool, but I wonder if Capcom would complain if Anet used them. Can you copyright a weapon type? I mean, maybe they could make them a bit different, like having the gunlance be a two-handed weapon with a slightly different playstyle. Can you imagine the awesome weapon slot skills a gunlance in GW2 would have? I know I’m dreaming, but I won’t deny that a gunlance would look bada** in the hands of a charr.

I’d prefer if they added more skills to existing weapons and allow us to swap them out… like in the original GW. Then add new weapon types.

Tru Reptile has a good idea with swap-able weapon skills. That’d offer more builds with the same profession/weapon.

In GW1, skills were ~95% tied to weapons but not fixed to them. Instead, there was a large pool of skills available for a particular weapon and you could use anywhere from 0-8 of those skills on your 8-slot skill bar. The change in design for GW2 has something to do with GW1 players being ostracized for having unoptimized builds(i.e. not being able to determine the best combination of skills for a particular weapon). It was a good system and it allowed for much more variety in the way players could approach a particular weapon but I don’t think Arenanet will revert GW2 to the old system.

………………………………….

A guardian using a longbow doesn’t fit…….how exactly?

Gunlance? Copyrighted? Would it be anything like Squall’s/Seifer’s Gunblade from Final Fantasy 8 over a decade ago? Dual Gunblade Thief PLZ!!!

Give me spears. Just spears.

Spears and Javelins would be nice imo.

Who needs 2 handed axes, land spears and polearms when you have 2HNDED GAUDY CLOUDY SWORD OF AWESUMNESS 11!!!

i think you mean cantha. assuming it’s decided that gw2 should acknowledge its existence.

2h axes would(should) go on a max of three classes:
warrior, ranger, necro. not to say that warrior needs more weapon choices, but it does fit the playstyle.

we can have rifle with bayonet instead.

Claws and Greatshields plz. Greatshields being main hand/2handed melee shields like in Dark Souls. And claws as in best weapons ever.

Unarmed! (Two handed) hands for spell casting!
(think Star Wars, the force.. with movements and skills that resemble pulling, crushing, tearing apart, pushing, lifting!)

I love more variety in games, and more weapons would lead to a lot more variety. It could be very difficult to balance, but players would certainly enjoy having many more options when it comes to the skills they want to use, and builds they could make using these new weapons.

I don’t even know why, as I’ve never played a game with a flail before, but I think that would be pretty awesome in this game, I can imagine there would be many unique skins that would be pretty cool with it.

The warrior always needs more weapon choices. Hopefully, the devs can find a way to make it so Warriors can equip more than two weapon sets as well. They also need to be able to use staves, shortbows, and pistols.

Warriors’ “thing” is to be a weaponmaster. Guardians have their things which I don’t remember how its called at the moment, Rangers have pets, Rogue their initiative, stealing and jumping around, Engineers are secretly creating kitties-robots to eliminate any other classes, Eles have 4 elements, Necros can look like they’re getting eaten by ants and Mesmers have butterfly and clones. Warrior has adrenalin which is bound to whichever weapon the warrior is using.

If everyone gets new weapons, then the warrior isn’t mastering anything anymore since they’re all doing it so, yet they’re the ones supposed to be the weaponmasters. The fact Warrior has been the one everyone shouts at for being OP during most of the time the game has been out is something else, and if the class, or other classes, need some tweak depending on the game mode then that should be done, but not if it has to limit the funny parts of the game, which renew does bring with new weapons, new skins to chase, and whatever else it will bring.

I really like the idea of a class that COULD potentially, as explained before with the staff (might aswell add pretty much any other weapons ; as the warrior is introduced and seen by ANet it could work with everything), master any weapons in the game even if they have to use it differently from others. I like that one particularity of the warrior since it’s the thing that makes it attractive and special as a full physical-class (while others non-magic classes do have their own things already as stated).

I’m sure they can find some way to make Warriors stand out, even if every profession can use any weapon in the end.

Staves as melee weapons and spears on land are my first two picks for new additions.

Support Main Hand Pistol for Mesmers!

Also, 2H Axe, Whips, Halbeards, Crossbow, Lazers, Granate launcher, Gravity weapons…. wait what?

Give us the scythe back, this should have been in the release if you ask me (Dervish nerdish). I want to play the grim reaper with my mesmer (Yes, scythe on mesmer would been awesome!!!!) Don’t you think my cute mesmer deserves one!?!?

HHR LostProphet.4801:

we need this

Pretty sure it’s been stated that they plan on adding some more weapons to each class, but I’m too lazy to look for it. I think melee staff would be sweet for warriors or someone. I’d go Donatello on a kitten with one xD.
