Guild Wars 2

Me and many with me are not very fond of the current turret designs, as they look more like cameras or simply tubes, than actual weapons of destruction.

A while back I changed my wallpaper to the Engineer, the one at the top on the profession page, and instantly thought: “Why aren’t our turrets more like this?”

I didn’t really give it another second of my life and continued playing the game.
Then, BAM! As I run around in Black Citadel I notice a Charr, in the War Wagon Prep Deck, hunched over and working on something small…

And believe it or not, it was the Turret!
Now I wonder if I am the only one to notice this and your general thoughts on the subject

Also, if the turret is in the game, why didn’t ANet bother giving it to us?

It was most likely to cut back on development time. Who knows? Sometime in the future we may see race specific turret designs, similar to Shaman totems, took even Blizz awhile to get around to that.

That turret looks like it would shoot too fast to be a rifle turret. It mightve been an elite that at the last minute scrapped and replaced with mortar. (How else could you explain how rushed and broken mortar feels)

Anyways hope to see that turret usable soon and btw that engie charr on that artwork makes those karma pauldrons look kitten

Actually what the heck, everything on that page looks better than what we have…look at that flamethrower! https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/engineer/
