“What exactly does this sentence refer to?: No automated entry devices and/or programs are permitted; all such entries will be void.”
I saw the link with an audio sample but a drawing, I don’t have in mind any auto-drawing device.Definitely don’t get it…. I drew by myself weapons in 2D, then with Paint.Net I make some shades on it, and special effects, it’s okay? It’s not cheating it’s just using what we have to make the most beautiful look! It’s like peoples with blender, it’s a tool, the program cannot drew automatically a weapon without you..
That quote does not refer to the drawing process, but only to the “entry” process. When you will be done with your concept and will be uploading it, you should not use bots, but instead upload it yourself. You can use any program you like for drawing.
I am now also interested in what happens if a person submits 3 entries and becomes a finalist. Does only one entry get chosen for the finals or all 3?
if we submit more than one entry, are we allowed to make them all of the same theme as if they belonged in a set together?
Sure! Whether you make them belong to a potential same set or make them totally different is up to you.
That’s strange. The rules seem to state that the weapons should be completely different. "Any entry submitted by a Contestant must be substantially different (as determined by Sponsors) than any other entry submitted by same Contestant. "
Did I misunderstand the quote?
Can I also make a suggestion? Can you extend the contest due date as many questions have not been answered and it looks like they may not be soon? If you guys are out until Monday that gives people less than 4 days to make their entries once everything is clarified.
I can’t call the shots here, obviously, but would you please take it into consideration?
“We’re accepting submissions from today through October 8, 11:59 PM Pacific Time (UTC-7). "
Where did Monday and less than 4 days come from?
Here are mine. Made them long time ago, but i am not eligible to enter contest, so, they will be forgotten. So here they are here.
They are fantastic and will not be “forgotten.” When the contest was announced, a number of people were trying to nominate you on reddit.
Maybe you don’t feel appreciated by the devs/Anet, but you are definitely appreciated by the community.
And you wouldn’t be able to enter the contest with this concept either way, since according to the rules, the design “may not have been previously published.”

Just as a warning – it appears that posting concepts anywhere while the contest is still going is not allowed. Unless I misunderstand the following quote.
Posting a concept submitted for the contest publicly (anywhere) before the finalists are announced is not allowed by the rules. Once we announce the finalists, artists whose entries were not selected can share theirs. Finalists would have to wait for votes to end.
- Is it allowed to post an uploaded weapon concept to other places, for example this forum or reddit, while potential winners are being selected (before the community gets to vote) as well as while the community is voting? I assumed that since you are planning to erase any additional information (weapon name, explanations, etc) from the concept, you want the people to vote on the design only. But advertising a concept on the forums would ruin that. After seeing some people posting their concepts I almost did it myself but decided to ask to be sure.
- The rules say that the background must be either black, white or transparent. If my concept looks similar to the Flameseeker Prophecies example (showing the same weapon without effects on the left and with effects on the right), would it be allowed to color the left half of background white, and the right half black? This was how I have it currently to help me with drawing contrasts and I’d like to know if it has to be changed.

it wasnt supposed to persuade you to play the game, i was simply stating that the game is casual friendly. You dislike HOT for reason X, no-one is going to change that. Im sure you would expect your friends to make judgement’s based on their own tastes, i,.e some people like GW2 some don’t – not everthing has to be complained to death about.
I think we have a different understanding of casual friendly. Grinding goes against my understanding of casual. Maybe not against yours though.
And please, who is complaining? Anet needs to make money. I can’t speak for everyone in this thread, but I think many people here enjoy Guild Wars 2. I want the game to be improved, I want the game to sell. These 2 things are connected, you can’t have one without the other. If we see that Heart of Thorns isn’t selling very well, we want to know why. Perhaps then Anet will know what needs to get fixed.
I am currently trying that with FF14, and while I have to say a lot of things Gw2 does spoil me for other MMOs, at the same time I cannot help but think just how much more developer attention is visible in FF14. Probably as a result of having a subscription and hence a lot more money and a more dependable income to work with.
And that’s FF14. A game already criticized for not getting enough attention from their developers.
So yeah, good things and bad things. I feel GW2 should learn more from other MMOs. Much as the unique elements like zone downleveling or freely shared combat participation are awesome, class design and skill/talent balance and design works better in other MMOs, and there’s no shame in copying systems proven to work.
I guess to each their own. I tried FF14 and I really tried to like it… But I just couldn’t. Many things are lacking in that MMO, and the same thing goes for others.
There are no perfect games in this world, no perfect MMOs in either case (*cough). In fact most MMOs are just another Korean grind fest, just like Revelation mentioned by the TS. I wish to have absolutely nothing from that game in Guild Wars 2.
Thanks for the gold and thanks for the project!
Do you think you will be making anything like this in the future?
Most of the advertising I saw around GW was: Fun, adventure & journey.
With HoT it changed to: Challenging, raids and E-sport. All of that is available (often) for free, in a better form, in other games.A mistake judging what a large part of the existing playerbase actually wanted/expected didn’t help either.
I second this. Guild Wars 2 wasn’t a very challenging game to begin with. It was beginner friendly, it was casual, fun, it was a game where you could really “do whatever you wanted” without feeling left out. Now we have metagame, raids and so on. Sure you can go exploring with any build, but you won’t be able to do raids with it. HoT just doesn’t offer enough of that content aimed at “casual” players to justify the price. So these players didn’t buy it.
I myself haven’t bought it for exactly that reason. Knowing that I will only get to enjoy a small fraction of what the expansion has, I am not ready to pay that much money. But I am still waiting for a sale and I am considering buying it eventually.
Even though I really enjoy SAB and Guild Wars 2 in general… If SAB is that much more attractive to people than the core game, then IMO there is a problem somewhere. And that problem can not be fixed by prioritizing SAB. GW2 needs more work, we need more balancing, we need more fixing, we need more content. Perhaps after all that, you guys will also have a different reason to keep on coming back to the game and the problem will have fixed itself.
Third place!
Am I supposed to send the screenshot to you?
It’s not really the controls (except for the missing jump function), but the “walls” that the character keeps on getting stuck in. That was probably the primary reason for my deaths. Oh and the fact that there is such a thing as range, but no such thing as line of sight is a bit of a bummer. Took me a while to figure out why those long range enemies kept on killing me, despite me hiding behind the staircase.
All in all the game was fun. I haven’t had to kite this much in Dark Souls.
Congratulations!
I really wish all the best to you and your bride to be.
I really understand what you mean. Ranger used to be my favourite class. Everything about it just felt so right, the pets, the traps, my longbow… I am sort of a roleplayer myself and I really enjoyed the idea of being a norn hunter and explorer, it was simply amazing. Now it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. Everything the rangers have, somebody else has as well. We suck at all of our weapons, we suck at stealth, we suck at traps, our pets don’t know what they are doing and it’s not like we are great at healing. The class seems to be getting worse with every new update. Though I guess I’m never going to give up on my ranger, I am just too much in love with her. So I can only go and pray to the wolf that ANet stops nerfing our brothers and sisters.
I’m not buying HoT because I don’t want to pay for the core game… AGAIN. I know that Anet are trying to attract new players, I can understand that. But come on, what about us? Were we paying for nothing all these years? The package costs €45, the expansion itself €20 at most (all the angry reviews considered it might be much less). I am just going to wait until the expansion starts to cost like a godkitten expansion.
