Guild Wars 2

The new news update talked about new rewards, including weapons. Could this be some of the rewards we expect to see? Or perhaps they are rewards from doing the Living Story things. Only time will tell.

These are not the guild weapons [you’re looking for].

Will they be obtainable in game upon the release of the next patch, or are you just teasing us for future releases of items?

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Those are literally the weapons that Braham carries around as far as I know.

Well either way they look kick kitten Good job to the people who designed those weapons. Really keeps in tune with the feel of Guild Wars Weapons. Heavy reliance on details/textures. Less on particle effects.

What class wears medium armor and can go Mace/Shield?

I’m slightly jealous.

…rock star?

Also, judging by the norn cultural set, that would be heavy armor.

Haha. Norn’s have the same view on armor as RPGs do with armor on women, the Less the better!

You are hereby granted 1 cool point. .

I’ll double check, but I thought it looked medium .

I think he’s saying that considering how the armor looks for norns, it would probably be heavy for norns. Looks very similar to T2, so they probably used it as a base to build this guys armor.

(lol at Obi-wan reference)

So are we looking at possible GW1 style npc heroes only armors & weapons in subsequent updates? Imo it’d make those npc heroes much cooler to hang around with.

I still want to be able to get the cliffside fractal hammer, seems some of the coolest items in game aren’t available to players

So they designed unique armors, weapons, hair styles, and possibly faces JUST for two NPCs?

How come computer characters get better cosmetic progression than we do?

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Thanks. Also it may be pretty close to medium. My point was that the norn heavy looks pretty medium to my eye, which is part of what makes it cool to me.

hey Anthony this is pretty cool, this guy is the first npc with Unique looks is’nt that right?
it will make him stand out more.

I know for a fact that Caithe has unique looks because I tried to make an exact replica of her and her face and hair options cannot be chosen in character creation.

I believe the other members of Destiny’s Edge all have unique looks that cannot be recreated as well, but I am much less sure on this.

Caithe’s face is unique, but her hair is not, Rytlock has a unique face also, Eir and Zojja are easily replicable, and no one wants to look like Logan.

Don’t… forget… STAFFS! I mad at you if you abandon staffs. -.-

New weapons?!

I so love Braham’s hairstyle.

His weapons look GREAT. Now those are what legendaries should look like! The idea of legendaries having their own effects are great, but i think they are too extreme to the point of over so if a big part of the pop ever gets them gw2 will look like a circus : p

Please consider making more calm but kitten looking legendaries in the future, so they would be worth getting

probably because for an npc they only have to make one model work with the design rather than 10 (each race male and female)

However, i think maybe they should expand racial armors more in the future so there are more different looks to obtain, and less work with doing each armor set. They can then expand slightly different versions of the most popular racial sets in the future if many other races want it.

I heavily support unique armors and weapons for characters who are important to the story. They did it in GW1 with Heroes. Those guys almost always looked kick kitten and you couldn’t obtain their armors. It allows NPCs to look important. If you look at the charr hero, its nothing special. No special weapons, no special armor. A play can recreate that hero instantly, so it doesn’t feel anything special. The norn on the other hand feels important because it is something we can’t recreate.

Well if we had more options as players it wouldn’t be a big deal. But the game launched with too few appearance options and too many dresses/skirts/coats/whateveryouwannacallthem and they haven’t improved on it since launch (except for adding neon colors that also should have been available at launch).

will be these new weapons obtain only with guild commendations?
