Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Yesterdays vid got me really excited about the future of Necs. Usually I only play my Nec in spvp but the new Reaper might entice me to play this char in some other content as well.

The one thing im not too happy about is the super HUGE scythe in Reaper Shroud. It just feels a little to clunky being soo big i think they should tone it down a bit maybe while you are idle standing have it shrinked and then if your in combat it gets bigger then.

Anybody else feel the same?

Nope.

Yes. This is not Final Fantasy, or an Asian F2P game, please make it a bit smaller.

no….looks cool and great cleave range……be happy.

scythe is 300 range so it’s only normal that it’s bigger than a 180 range weapon lol.

cool as it is yes they went a bit overboard with it i think.

Relshdan.6854:

no….looks cool and great cleave range……be happy.

Like I said in my original post maybe when u are standing idle shrink it down and then when u get into combat it gets bigger that way…

I think by doing this it also emphasizes the “menacing” factor when ur enemy engages in battle with you and all of sudden they see your scythe goes hulk mode.

Yeah,you’d think it would give people the “Oh kitten” factor lol. But no,tbh I don’t think they went overboard with the scythe size. It’s perfect. It’s perfect. It’s perfect.

Yeah it’s only like 2-3 times bigger than your character, makes perfect sense.

I actually think it is fairly reasonable.

The pole and scythe itself are extremely thin, thinner than the staffs in this game.

Not to mention being an embodied death god, you are allowed some luxury in your tool for reaping.

I think the ideal is to make them more scary think on the Freddy arms in the first A Nightmare on Elm Street. Why is it scary that his arms are so long because its odd and dose not fit. Its made to look out of this world to make you realize that nothing in “this world” can help you. True fear as in the monster maybe comply unknown.

I like to know if the scythe scale so norn / chars scythe is super bit or dose it seem a bit smaller on them?

It’s not supposed to make sense, it’s supposed to be a nod to horror movies. Think Pyramid Head and his giant sword

Right now it makes me laugh rather than scared…. It looks too cartoonish with how big it is.

It just looks comical right now its so big

it works with a sword.. not so much with a scythe it just looks awkward

No the bigger the better

Make it scale with the amount of life-force you have.

Jekkt.6045:

scythe is 300 range so it’s only normal that it’s bigger than a 180 range weapon lol.

It would be great if it had 300 range, but tooltip says 170 range on first two attacks of the chain and 220 on the third…

Thats just a bit more range than guardian mh sword auto attack but still its more than twice the length of the character, makes sense….

I thought it seemed a little big myself. I want it to be big and menacing but not overboard.

its a fantasy game….huge scythes look cool to most people….just enjoy the unrealistic aesthetic (that actually matches the in-game range of the weapon).

I actually wanted the scythe’s blade to be even bigger xD

gotta spook em good!

I want the scythe to be so large that when I swing it at mid point the visuals look like I’m hitting people on both side points at once.

Scythe TOO BIG

This does not compute.

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

Interesting Idea but wondering how hard that would be to program. Im no expert but seems hardcore

It looks really bad and out of place. Hopefully it gets scaled down a bit.

Naw. I like it, I Iike it a lot.

Don’t you dare touch the scythe. You are not a Reaper, sir… Good DAY.

The scythe is wonderful. I want to be feared in a fantasy setting, not harvest grass on my lawn with a realistic scythe.

Comus.7365:

I reverse that. A sword just doesn’t work when it’s a giant bar of metal. A scythe that is thin like this one looks fine to me, especially as it’s made of magic, not wood and steel. Normally I am one of the heaviest detractors of oversized weapons but this fearsome scythe looks perfect to me. I can believe it’s reaching all the enemies in its aoe zone!

Cogbyrn.7283:

B-but… I want to be a lawn mower

At first i thought the same thing. Then i saw the auto attack and turns out its not big enough

Pelopidas.2140:

This is why it makes perfect sense to tone it down when OOC then make it big when in combat.

I wonder how it’s gonna look on a asura character

I said I wanted an airplane wing. This will do.

It is too big imo.

The spin to win is the 300 range ability.

Short Answer: No
Long Answer: Nooooooooo
Serious Answer: It’s not big enough. Make it bigger. I want my enemies to see it coming for them!

i’d rather have a long blade on it than a long shaft(or whatever it’s called) this looks more like wielding a lamp post than a scythe.

Yeah, it looks a bit too oversized. I mean, I don’t know how does it look on other races, but for now you could slap national flag on it and go on parade.

Jrpg FF-style doesn’t really look good in this game.

There’s also a little problem. If it scales and you say it’s range indicator, then Asura Reapers would have advantage again.

It Reminds me of Dark Souls, so noo, I like the scythe

Oh you mean those enemies with the absurdly long reach that is just outside your halberd’s range?

Yes, yes I loved those so much…

it’s really goofy. the handle of the scythe doesn’t have any interesting effects on it, and it makes up most of the scythe. I also feel the necrocopter is super goofy and bad.

No.
Out of all things… “the scythe is too big” -_- seriously…?

Nope, needs more cowbell!

this deserv a “thats what she said”.

Scythe size as a reason to have that size since its the range of DS meleemancing.

Yea, not a fan of how huge it is… Doubt it’s going to change
