Q:

Hello everyone, at first i have to apologize since English isn’t my primary language so describing what i have in mind will be bit tougher.

Right now i have been playing GW2 for sometime now and to my suprise i couldn’t find any two-handed axes at all, normally i would have understod if even single handed axes were missing but they are not so i find it rather strange for not having their two-handed counterparts in the game even though you can wield two handed swords/hammers.

As for the polearms i know that you have spears but only in underwater encounters which is more like harpoon rather then a spear. Besides polearms were not just from the point of the fantasy game but in real life a great asseset to troops/guards. In battles you kittenered the incomming charge of cavalry as for the guards it was a means to scatter the angry crowd without directly putting them into close and endegaring their lives. I cannot imagine in GW scattering the crowd with two handed sowrd ( funny).

So i’am asking if there are any possibilities for these two classes of weapons ever seeing the light of entering into the world of GW2? If there was similiar topic then i’am sorry that i was unable to find it and started a new one.

ArenaNet did say (Colin did) in an interview with Angry Joe they are not adding new weapons. I know they can still surprise us, but dont get hopes too high.

Only polearms in game are spears for underwater, and further staves and scythes for casters,.

As there is at present no knowledge about devs wanting to add weapons in the long term future, and the remark of Coline they would only allow more existing weapons on characters in HoT, and not any new ones… leads me to this conclusion: I can safely say it is probably not going to happen somewhere soon (a.k.a not in the next 1 to 2 years)
