Guild Wars 2

Is it a low priority for Arena Net?
Is Arena Net not interested in adding new skills to the game?
Is Arena Net not interested in adding new weapons to the game?
Is Arena Net not interested in enabling existing weapons to be used on more professions?

High Priority – Skins
Low Priority – Gear Progression

High Priority – Living Story / Gem Store
Low Priority – Everything else.

Would love to see new weapon’s like a battle axe or existing weapons able to be used on new profession and since Anet has basically walk away from underwater gameplay be able to use spears and/or tridents on land.

I mean, can we expect too see at least one new skill this year, or is that too much to ask?

Considering the balancing nightmare with the ones that already exist, don’t hold your breath.

Why not show your (and others’) enthusiasm for such changes rather just complaints? Granted I’m sure Anet already realizes that players want new weapons or skills but how much such additions are desired is buried under a tsunami of complaints, whining and other bugs/issues.

I’d sooner expect more ways to get precursors before they ever add any new skills if only because that’s been the squeakiest wheel…and I can’t for the life of me wonder why people care so much about a select handful of skins. New skills/weapons/weapon proliferation is much more appealing than new ways to grind for a Legendary.

Are they seriously whining about balance?? They said the same thing in GW1 which had like a 50 times more skills per class. Although, GW1 was really balanced in my opinion. Seems to me that they just use that thing as an excuse. if it’s really unbalanced in gw2, which is possible ofc, maybe they should hire a dev with a higher IQ than 5.

don’t hold your breath.

i can see maybe at some point next year, they’d do something similar to what they did with heal skills. I can see each class getting 1 new elite or maybe 1 new utility skill….and that’s it at the most.

they are probably going to eventually release a paid expansion, and new weapons/class skills are being saved for that (along w/ new classes/races).

New weapons is unlikely; weapons being used by more classes are more likely but probably not a priority.

I would love to get some more weapons for my mesmer and a longbow for a guardian…
