Guild Wars 2

A year ago, we were vaguely told that Anet would probably try to introduce new weapon types to the existing professions, whether it be new types of weapons altogether or existing weapons added to the classes.

What do you guys think about this? After a year, is it likely that we’ll hear more about this feature soon?

I did hear from one person that we’d receive such an update in the 4th quarter of 2014, but said person didn’t really give any credible evidence for his claim, other than saying that its information that somehow leaked. So for now, I’m considering this just a rumor that may have some truth in it if such an info leak actually exists.

And finally what weapon ideas would you guys speculate?

I’d personally look forward to a mace for necromancers, as a sort of one handed cleaving weapon with a blast finisher, and thematically, I believe other MMOs in the past have allowed casters, either dark or healer type to use maces, so I think it would make as much sense as axe does for that class xD

A year ago PvP players were promised that new skills introduced in the game would be free too!

Well, you know what happened with that…

They said alot…i dont really believe any word anet still has to say tbh.And to new weapons coming any time soon,have to say no.But i bet you we may expect some new tooltip updates in a few weeks from now !!! Hoorah !

Yeah, this is on the top of my desired list as well. Another ranged option for Guardians would be really nice (esp Main Hand Shield Capt America style).

Would be nice to see Great Axes for Rangers, Warriors and Eles.

Maybe “claw” weapons for thieves/mesmers/necros.

New weapons would fall under the “features” catagory, which means you shouldn’t expect them any time soon. Right now Anet is in full swing with the living world. Expect nothing but story story story for the next few months. A new map here, a new face mask there, a few gem store armors, etc etc.

I think Anet said 6 months between feature packs? If so that would put it around November or December. In reality I wouldn’t expect new features till January or February. And even then, I don’t expect new weapons to be added. I can’t say why, I’m just not feelin’ it.

Well the winter would fall around the 4th quarter prediction the rumors I’ve heard have indicated. So its possible, but obviously not until LS S2 is much further in or over.

Fist weapons for warriors and thiefs please! And punching animations
