Guild Wars 2

So, I was re-visiting the hall of monuments skins with the addition of the new wardrobe… and was reminded of how horribly the Stygian Axe is scaled in Guild Wars 2 versus the original.

Compare the pair.

And when that’s done, how about redoing the Fellblade so that it looks like the Guild Wars 1 version, instead of a rusty looking blade with smoke coming off of it.

Humans in Tyria have grown in size since the stories of guild wars 1. So that can account for any discrepancies in scale.

i’d hate that. gw2’s stygian axe is one of the few skins from guild wars that actually became better instead of worse

I should have probably edited the OP to talk about all the weapon scaling problems in this game.

There are far too many awesome skins that are made meh/disregarded because for some inconceivable reason, the blade/head/feature portion of that weapon is made tiny.

i.e. Every hammer/Axe in the game.

looks like one of those before after photos

uses the same visual tricks as well

Those aren’t visual tricks.

Those are results.
