Guild Wars 2

The models are awesome.

They don’t display guild emblems anywhere in the preview though.

Is the preview broken, or do these guild skins simply not have guild emblems?

Until now, everything with “guild” in the name was recognizable because it actually displayed the guild logo. I liked that.

I’d like the new skins better if they came with a guild logo on them, even small ones.

Hey whaddya know, somebody else that likes the new guild weapons. Most I’ve talked to hate them or think they’re bland. Personally if they do add the guild emblem (which I do think is a good idea) I would like the option to turn it off.

My wife is utterly in love with them, and would probably be heartbroken if they displayed guild emblems (especially since our fuzzy-animal-obsessed guildmaster chose a happy beaver for ours).

I got the impression from pre-patch dev comments that these are meant to be unique skins rewarded for doing the content, and not guild-representation things like the buyable guild skins.

I appreciate the time and artwork that went into them but I would have liked to see a little more flare and less blocky personally.

I’m totes getting the shield once I’m done getting the Ascended accessories on my main!
Maybe the mace too, but that’s if we never get access to Braham’s mace!

The new weapons are amazing looking there already guild weapons that have the pic of the guild that you can buy why would you need another set of them?
I for one am temped to get the shield before i get any Ascended accessories.

i must admit that the shield is probably the most appealing shield that ive seen so far in the game

Right!?
I think putting a guild emblem would make them feel a bit wrong because the way these weapons are every bit of them tie the item together. Its like a work of art who wants to put a logo on it to mess the art up?

I dunno, I mean I like the models, they’ve got a very unique look, but I’ve been wanting a wider selection of emblem’d weapons/armor for a while now.

I get what your saying but once you put an emblem or something its no longer about the look of the weapon but the fact that its showing an emblem. The emblem becomes the key part of the item so it dose not mater what the item was.

Added note:
Now they do need to rework the old guild weapons to show emblems better and add in more weapon types that you can put emblems on.

The 1H sword make me want to faceplam through my skull (wtf is that even supposed to be?)

The rest are really nice though but I feel if they did put emblems on them it should be something you can toggle.

I disagree. There are plenty of places on the new items where a small, classy emblem would look good (unlike the loud oversides emblem placements on the current weapons/armor)

For instance, on the shield, that little square section mid-bottom, or on the pistol/rifle on the flat of the side right above the handle, or on the blades, the little flat section just above the hilt.

Emblems as a detail (because it’s thematically a reward from your guild’s contacts for the services of your guild) rather than a HEY LOOK AT ME I’M A FLAG MASQUERADING AS A WEAPON!

It’s the difference between wearing a t-shirt with a huge full frontal print logo and a polo-style shirt with a little breast pocket logo. In both cases the “brand” is communicated clearly, but in one you look like a tool and in the other you just look like a guy that bought a shirt, and the shirt company likes to sign their shirts.

Now whether or not your emblem is something you’d consider classy is for you to take up with your guild leader of course.
