Guild Wars 2

post 100# I sure do

for Warriors and Guardians

VOLKON.1290:

I think they’d be a nice weapon addition in the future, sure. A crossbow would be another option they could consider adding in the future. What would be challenging is thinking of other types of weapons for more casterly types.

;) image the possibilities

Kelenek.7584:

There is so many realistic weapon ideas that would 100% fit Gw2
To start with…
~2Handed axes – how about making those Warrior exclusive ?
~Fist/Claw like weapons – those always makes for freaking good looking mean toons and i love it
~Whips – I have never seen an MMORPG game with Whips ! and whips really hurts ! it cuts down so its a weapon and it dates back to the sword times so it fits in…. (i know eles have a lightning whips thingy but,i mean the real thing)(Dual whips for Thiefs, fire whips, Look Adam Winrich on youtube…)
~Arm blades or Nunchuks – those would be thiefs exclusive…
~Halberds … or simply enabling the spears to be used on land, some of the skin looks awesome, but u almost never see them….
~Crossbows – im not a big fan of crosbows, but why not ? those could be Rangers Exlusive
~Orbs ? – casters could shape an energy orb into a weap to hit (kind of like guardians scpectrals
~Javelins – This one is inspired by the amazon back in Diablo 2 yeah i know, but god i loved throwing Javelins…

And there are MANY other good and realistic weapons Ideas out there… let me know if u guys agree on any of those :-D

Seriously.. what. Everquest has had whips for.. oh.. 12 years plus. Everquest 2 has had whips since launch, coming on to 9 years. Along with spears, javelins, short spears, tridents, rapiers, sabres, parry blades, sai, Khukri, katana, claws, katar, battlepicks, etc etc etc. Orbs, censors, symbols, books, Idols blah blah blah.

And that is the problem with this “community”. You buy the ANET hype about re-inventing the MMO without a clue about any other “mmo” but WoW, if that.

There is a ton of stuff that “should” have made it into an MMO developed 10+ years after Everquest. Why some of it did not is beyond my comprehension. Not even talking about mechanics, kill ten rats, W/E. Simple, basic options and choices. Stuff they could have included without changing their gameplay matrix at all.

Anet didn’t even bother to make a modern configurable UI nor include anything beyond basic Fisher-Price graphics options.

Not to mention the sheer lack of appearance slots for armor and weapons, something most MMOs have had for a very long time.

For as much as they claim to have advanced the genre, in too many ways they also regressed, even from their own game GW. GW2 is the most recent MMO released, and tbh the one with the fewest actual choices compared to the older ones.

Would be good for power necros.

Two handed battle axe? Yes plz!

They don’t even need to implement new weapons for it to work. Just use it as skins for Staves and Hammers, as the skills for those weapons would be similar to a giant axe as well.

More weapons in general! 10 per class! Lots of options and variety so long as they are all viable.

One handed hammer! Think Mjolnir!

1h lance/2h lance/2h axes/crossbow/different weapon combos on other classes/flails/shieldbow?/dual shield(lel)/land spears/javelins/scythes.

yes

Warcry.1596:

One handed hammer! Think Mjolnir!

Mace..

Yes to 2-hand battle axe.

After looking at the two handed axe on the Executioner get up for holloween gem purchase.. yes.

I guess mace could count for hammer… but another idea could be katanas or ninja swords. Faster, lighter version of a greatsword

“I guess mace could count for hammer… but another idea could be katanas or ninja swords. Faster, lighter version of a greatsword”

maybe in a possible canthan expansion or patch. 8^P

And yes indeed! greataxes! they should be in this game allready!
Seing the executioner outfit on my toon makes me wonder.. maybe its coming!

Scythe.

/15char

I’d rather have pole arms and the ability to leap over tall buildings.

i’m in for 2h axes, i have been waiting for them to add this since launch cause i realy think it would be an awsome weapon… too bad that it might never happen xD

Halberds! Voulges! Polehammers! Bardiches!

Bring on the polearms and greataxes.

Would love 2h axes!

If necro ever gets a hammer or greataxes then itll complete my looks.

This is not photoshoped just captured in the right moment during townclothes and armor swap.

oh btw.. sorry for the bump.. as it seems to be the only greataxe thread..

Yes please. The skin and animation is there with the executioner toy. Would LOVE to have that on my necro!

I do!!! I made a warrior first, not realizing they weren’t in the game at release. I was totally shocked when I saw that they weren’t a weapon in game.

Oh yes, please, how can there be no two handed axes? Come on now, bring them!

Yes

/more stuff here

Invictus.1503:

Yes please. The skin and animation is there with the executioner toy. Would LOVE to have that on my necro!

You do realize it just uses the animations from the hammer right? There really isn’t anything you can do with a Greataxe that isn’t already covered by the animations from the hammer and GS, so they’ve technically been there since launch.

I really want one for my necro, as well as a new off-hand option for the existing axe.

VOLKON.1290:

Condas.7056:

Extreme yes, amongst a heaping pile of other weapons. Also would like to have spears on land.

Hmm… I could see mesmers using a one handed javelin… could be either a ranged or melee weapon.

it would be either depending on the class wielding it.

I’d love 2handed axes, but I’d prefer fist/claw weapons first for my Thiefie.

defintitely yes on 2h axes. also a vote for melee staves (think friar from daoc).

Yes, the more wep skins the better.

It would be cool. However the only classes that would really fit it would be Warrior and Necro.

My Ele wants a 2H BattleAXE!

My vote: Yes!

It would add an even more powerful feel to the game. Also, a third weapon that is a two handed melee weapon would be nice. This would allow a “trinity” balance for people that just aren’t “swords and hammers” kind of people.

we ALL do.

I like the idea of 2h axes, as either skins for gs/hammers or as their own thing.

There are some incredibly odd suggestions in here though… so many anti-cavalry weapons. Pikes? Halberds?? Really??? I understand they’re good, fascinating weapons, but they would be inefficient designs for melee combat where mounted combatants don’t exist… You’d most likely only see weapons of this kind develop about as far as a one-handed spear, one that could be wielded in a spear/shield combination, like a Greek hoplite warrior.

Tbh, I just want more weapons.

And I’m pretty sure that GW2 will, at some point, reach the coolness and complexity level of GW1. That’s going to be the best MMO game ever, then.

Too bad double bladed battle axes are as efficient in battle as a stupid scythe.

axes, flails, scythes, bring them on!
oh, and lazerz.

I want, but only if people have to delete their warrior as a prequisite.

Does this even have to be asked? Yes! Battle Axes get a YES!

I want fist weapons.

And lazers yeah!

YES!!! it was very disappointing not seeing them to begin with!
They are even in the wallpapers for Guild Wars 2.
Its been some time now, lets see these 2h battle axes!

I’d love to see two-handed axes in GW2. Heck, at this rate I’d love to see any new weapon.

Well, 2 handed axes, well, I don’t believe it’s possible…

Except if they’re Polearms, more like Halberds (axe-spearhead, they’re literally 2handed axes. Some spears in GW2 follow the concept of Halberd in their appearance), which ANet could get by converting already existing Spears into “amphibious” weapons. Warriors are first to get them. Some professions could use them as throwing spears, maybe Guardians and possibly Rangers.

For casters, it would be Scythe, Necromancers being atleast 1 profession which I think would use it. Perhaps if Dervishes are somehow reintroduced to GW2, since the art was lost on destruction of the Order of the Sunspears, according to the lore…

I’d like to see Greataxes, Scythes, and Lances added

Oh yeas! I support this idea. My Charr needs a nice 2h and an axe would really fit him.

I wanna RailGun

vpchelko.4261:

I wanna RailGun

So you’re asking for this class?

Definate YES to two handed great axes.
The Executioner Toy Axe is a good ‘prequel’ to the real thing, and I think it gives us a good idea of how a real weapon like that could work in the game.

A new weapon, straight from classic fantasy, competition for the Greatsword of Warriors and maybe even a melee cleave for Necros! What’s not to love?
