If you don’t know that a weapon can be beautiful without being tacky I encourage you to look through some history of arms, you might be suprised ^^

Why not post some examples?

But, but, I can’t scan my library >.>
Some poor replacements google offered me.

I like the style but won’t spend money on this game until we get some worthwhile content. A real shame.

I actually quite like them.

To extend Yen’s list, some of my favourites

approved .

I like the staff and scepter, other than that they just don’t seem like they would feel like they have any heft to them. Also, the first thing that struck me when I looked at the sword and GS were how similar in overall design (not aesthetics/coloring etc) to the ambrite weapons Scorpiones and Cryptopidae.

Anet could give us a design contest in which players may design new weapons and weapon sets. By the way Skyrim has excellent player made weapons; very good. Sure we have here equally talented players.

Considering the options for elementalist aesthetic have mostly been “fire” and “more fire” i think it’s great to have a change. The shield, focus, and staff appeal to me most, since most of the others aren’t functional enough for my tastes.

I would love that. Players’ designs had proven to be surprisingly good, if not better than certain artist team…. But they might disqualify you if you submit something without particle effects.

Still waiting for a hammer skin that actually looks like a war hammer. The Super Hammer Skin is the only closest thing outside of the other overly done huge hammers that are found in most mmorpgs.

Try Remnant of Ascalon. It’s one of my favorite “authentic” hammers, anyway.

Same can be said for armor as well. While it’s a bit of a shame, there quite a few simple weapons and armors in this game. It would be nice if they worked on more, but even the amount of particle-effects seems to have dwindled. While I appreciate some of what they’ve done, the Chaos weapons didn’t feel very imaginative and Tormented were pre-designed and just had to be made into the game with some minor tweaks and additions.
