Guild Wars 2

I purchased a few Order of Whispers weapons the other day and noticed something odd. The one handed sword and axe each have gears and hinges. The axe’s gears rotate and the blade folds up while sheathed. Like many items, the axe’s animation does not play while in the preview window and sits on the character’s hip unfolded. The sword is the same way (unfolded with unmoving gears) both in the preview weapon and when actually worn by a character.

The Whisper’s Sword looks like it’s made of multiple pieces which is what makes me believe it has animations that aren’t playing. Hopefully the lack of folding and animations is just a bug as it would be a shame if this was intended for such a cool looking hinged weapon.

This. Please. I desperately want the sword and greatsword to fold as well.

I feel your pain Ryoki, I feel your paaaiiin. These are not inexpensive items. The fact that they fold up is -the- cool thing about them. The cool think about priory weapons are that they’re see-through.. and those weapons are doing their job just fine. I want ours to have their special quality working too.

Please arena net, fix the animations on these weapons if they have them. Or add it to them. Its what makes it appealing in the first place. Please. :p

Well, better late than ever I suppose.

Let us know if they are supposed to have animations please. Something to hope for down the line

Oh wow, it wasn’t in the patch notes but the animation for my sword plays now. o.o
Its not as compact as I’d like it to be, but I’m sure there is a reason why.
I’m still very grateful, thank you.

Yeah thanks a lot! You changed the look of one of the best looking Greatswords ingame from awesome to “maybe a charrplayer may like it”.

Great Job!
