Guild Wars 2

Make everything flail.
Also, please fix other more relevant bugs too.

Vote for flailing!

Flail good. Want flail.

Can someone please show me what this flailing looks like?

As many varieties and variations for each type of weapon will be welcomed. Maces should not be just ‘maces’. There should be skins that are clubs, skins that are sticks, skins that are maces, flails, morning stars, batons, nunchaku, etc… There could even be ways to apply certain scepter skins to maces and vice-versa.

Same applies to other weapons. Cross-type skins and skin variations are always cool.

And so, having them as flails instead mere maces should be considered a good thing.

Fixing the bug would be great! The flailing is what makes it so much fun to wield. Thank you for asking the community.

Why do you need to even ask this? It was intended to be a flail, so fix the bug. You shouldn’t need our permission to fix a bug.

Because the last few times they fixed a graphical bug like this, people were upset as they had bought it for what it looked like before and did not like what it changed to.

I say make them flails. I think it would be nice to have a few.

I would like all the maces from SAB to flail please.

Release the flails!

Would love to see this finally be fixed!

Gogo! :)

Blacksmith.8679:

I’m all the for the fixing.

Shields need it too, btw. The green skin (haven’t checked the yellow yet) doesn’t do the sword drop animation. Sound effect is there, but no animation.

confirming yellow shield sword drop works. i love my yellow shields, i think the other colors look weird. i spam swaps on my engi to play with it (well, not so much now that engi shield is outclassed).

Josh Foreman.8250:

But this is a unique situation. You see, the Blue Super Mace has physics on it, making it flail around. But for whatever reason that didn’t carry over to the color variants we made. So the Green, Yellow and Orange Super Maces are different than the Blue in this regard. We consider this a bug, and would like to fix it, but since it can be a sensitive issue we’d like to get a sense of what the community feels about it.

So what do you think? Should we leave things as they are, or fix the bug so they all flail around?

I think it’s important to denote (so please edit OP) exactly what the difference is, and which state isn’t the intended state, for those who don’t have either of the skins yet.

That said, given it looks like a flail I think they should flail. A possible option would be to duplicate the bug and make a special Super Mace variant, then fix the bugged weapons.

I would love a super flailing super mace! ALL the flails! Droopy, swing-y, physics-happy maces!

+1 flail

looks awesome when they do it

I love the flailing animations on the Mace, and like many others, was drawn to it over the other available colours for this reason.

I’d be offended if it was removed, though I’m not entirely an advocate of changing the others to be the same. If it happens, great! If it doesn’t, it’s no problem. The way I see it is that people that have acquired the Super Mace wanted it as it is now. Those that acquired the other Maces wanted those as they are now.

It’s pretty difficult to not know what you’re getting yourself into thanks to the Wardrobe’s preview system, and ultimately I think keeping all of the skins the same as they are now would be perfectly fine.

But I’ll reiterate: I really don’t mind, so long as the Blue one doesn’t change.

Let it spin! Let it spin!

If we must choose one: Vote for flailing!

To suggest a more nuanced option: Could a non-flailing version of the the skin in all 4 colors be introduced for the people who prefer that? Instead of being a separate item, perhaps it could unlock whenever the regular (flailing) skin of that color is unlocked.

Make them all flail please! Gives some variety to the static mace models that we already have in all shapes and sizes.

I say make all the maces flail. Currently the blue mace is superior to the other colors and that is kinda racist.

I say make ALL maces flail, not just the SAB maces!

+1 All should flail.

Yes, please.

Has chains, chains don’t flail. All three weights seem to have DIFFERENT chain issues, somehow.

There’s enough boring mace skins already…

Wow, I guess nobody wants flails.

r.i.p. flail.

Cherubino XV.2384:

+1 All should flail.

+1

I would like to keep the flail and add an extra flail to other color variants as well

I like the flail version! Convert them all!

I like the flailing. Consider this another vote to make them all flail.

I also really like that you made this thread asking us, and think this kind of communication is really great!

Thank you for asking! Keep this kind of communication up!

I also support this flailing 100%. It looks so… wrong… that those are stuck in place.

Gotta go with my friend Fry on this one…

Please please please add it to all of them. This is the main reason my guardian is stuck with blue weapons, and I’d really like to upgrade her.

So let it be written.

+1 flailing.

Completely different issue, but I definitely agree. Would look much more natural if the chain wasn’t stiff as a board.

The flailing is the whole reason to want this weapon. On that note I wish we had more weapon with unique features like that, but yeah it’s a disgrace to the other colors to not have awesome flail physics!

I vote for total flailure! +1

Agreed, please give flailing to the others. I know many that wanted this mace just for that More physics in weapon skins would be appreciated too.

As always, love your input Josh! I hope they let you post more often <3

Flails for all pls

When I saw the blue mace during the first PvP Tournament I watched I thought “omg a cool mace! I want it. I want it.”
Later they released more colors and I was like “Yessssss..” But they didn’t flail.

Make them flail!

Rising Dusk.2408:

Flail for all weapon color variants, please!

+1

Flails for everyone!

When it comes time for the Legendary Mace, can we please have a Wail (whale?) Flail?

If none of those, then at least pic related?

I wish more things flailed. I want a flail for my dragonhunter… just not a super flail. But yes to flailing, I didn’t know the colors didn’t do it.

Also, leave it to Josh to actually ask before just doing it. SAB and things like this are the reason he remains the best of the best.

I support equal flailing for all super maces.

please don’t add flailing to the green yellow and orange ones. on blue it can stay.

Please fix this bug, the animation is what makes it stand out among skins. Also the chain stick upgrade within SAB should be the same way!

More flails = more fun.

Because of the Howler “bug fix.”

Rename it to Super Flail, re introduce the Mace in its original form? Get both !

It’s a mortal sin of QA to piggyback issues, but hear hear. The Crossing also needs this flailing touch.

+1 on flailing mace.

With all that flailing around, this thread became sort of kinky.

And on the opposite end of the scale, the first predator update, where the devs made a set of sniper rifle sounds and patched them in over the predators existing sounds, because it’s, y’know, a sniper rifle… only for a dozen or so whiny little forumites to complain they wanted the totally unfitting toy laser gun sounds back.

I got a blue one that swivels. I think they all need the swivel.
