Guild Wars 2

Just to keep this in the mind of the players – this was stated by Colin in an interview with Massively in July of 2013:
“Although Johanson couldn’t commit to a timeframe, new weapon types and expansion of current types to more classes is absolutely in the works. In the meantime, there will be new Legendary weapons based on current weapon types, as ArenaNet wants to provide players with more variety in looks and themes for the powerful weapons. One new type of Legendary gear will definitely be putting in an appearance this year and will likely be a trinket such as a ring or amulet. Several of the current Legendaries will also receive appearance-enhancing makeovers.”

Still waiting, Colin…

No one is quite sure but back then and even in 2013, it did seem like adding new skills/traits/weapons to the game was going to be a pretty major part of character progression.

Something’s changed since then, we don’t really know what and we had no comments regarding it since from any of the developers.

Well the game is dying. 2014 will be last year of GW2.

Just kidding…but they should accelerate things little bit.

That’s the impression I got when I first bought the game is that there will be continue updates of new weapon skills. More skills = more build diversity = more fun. 2013 was suppose to be the year when things start rolling out. But it came and gone with no change. This game has a lot of potential. I just hope there is still time to turn the ship around and finally give the players what was promise. I wouldn’t mind unlocking all weapons skills and give players the option to choose their own sets of 5 skills.

I really wonder why everything has been delayed for so long. I’ve been looking forward to things like the legendary trinket, new skills, precursor crafting, and new legendaries, but they are nowhere in sight.

Have they postponed development, cut them completely, or are they complete and just being held back while they look for a good way to implement them?

I don’t think skills would add any real build diversity to the game. Right now PvE is a wreck with 1-2 builds for each profession that are far beyond the alternatives and the PvP meta has the same issue, just not as severe.

But even so, it would be fun to have more options added to the game, especially once they fix the design flaws and bring builds closer together, opening up more true variety.

So they could sell then. I would love to buy a greatsword or a Hammer skin that looks like a 2 handed Axe, for example. This is very ease to do. If they allowed mods for weapon mods i bet it already be online
