Guild Wars 2

I’ve always loved how RPG’s show not only your characters’ equipped weapons, but also the others which are ‘put away’. For example, my Ranger carry’s a Longbow and a Greatsword. I would LOVE to see both weapons across my back when running around; even seeing the quiver for my bow would be AWESOME.
I know that ANet set out to design a game that brings back the RPG feel of a game, and I think it would be a nice touch =)
Also, I know that another of ANet’s goals was/is to offer an action-oriented combat style similar to that which can be found in a First-Person Shooter, where players also carry all their weapons on their backs as well.
I believe it would also provide a nice bit of tactical information in situations such as PvP; being able to know what other weapons your opponents have and what sort of play-style they’ll be able to counter yours with, and vice-versa.
Thanks again for such an amazing game, and being very well known for listening to your community; I wouldn’t even bother putting in a suggestion with any other company.
Doing great; keep it up!

Who else agrees?
I was instructed by ANet to post this on the forum, and if it’s an idea that enough people like, they’d maybe consider doing it! =D

I support the idea of showing both weapon sets on a character because of the reasons you just said.

Awesome from a RPG perspective, and also more insight for PvP.

Your enthusiasm is admirable, but bear in mind that it is right in the middle of the American work day, so perhaps you should allow more than 13 minutes for people to respond before posting again.

That said, this is the player helping player forum, and what you’re providing here is a Suggestion. The Suggestion forums have not been opened yet.
Many of us are bursting at the seams with “brilliant” suggestions for improvements to the game, but please join us in eagerly awaiting the proper forum for our ideas to be posted.
Thanks and good luck!

You tryin’ to get ‘em to make you a ’GM’ or something? =P

If they do add something like this I really hope they make it optional.

I usually swap to my bow when I’m not in combat because I feel like having a main and an offhand weapon visable looks a mess (especially when the offhand is a torch). Having all 3 showing up at once would look horrible to me.

Yeah, definitely interested in them making it an option for sure. I like choices =D

I just think it would be a nice extra touch to be able to show my Greatsword and Longbow across my back, with my Quiver as well, to top it all off.

Who else agrees? =D
