New wepons idea.

[Zor X]

dont know if this was already asked but is Guild Wars going to put Great Swords and Dual blades in the game? It would make the game alot better. Guild wars emailed me back and told me to start a thread about it.

Heres what they said:::Thank you for contacting Guild Wars Support about this.

If this is something you would like to see in a future update, we encourage you to consider posting your suggestions on one of many of the Guild Wars Fansite message boards.

So lets do what they said and try to get these wepons in the game!

there have been several posts about this, prolly mostly in the armory section. duel throwing axes, duel daggers, spears would be awesome

[rellewkram]

I just think that more variety in weapon sets would make the game much more interesting. It might be necessary to change the attributes linked to weapons in order to incorporate the different weapons, like slashin for swords and spears, hacking for axes and who knows what else, and blunt for hammers and other stuff like maces maybe. This wouldn't change warrior setups at all, and it would add a new dimension to the game.

EDIT

It may change the types of weapon oriented skills in the game, which could be a problem.

[Guild of the Lords]

that would be cool tto have different weapons but the thing that could just make me throw my computer out the window is that There are no Graphic awesome HAMMERS i am a hammer warrior(duh) and i need a cool looking hammer and i am sure that the eles,monks,mes,and necros will agree that they have no cool looking weapons like the axes and swords and the strom bows please this would just make it fair to show people how awesome u really are or how crazy u r about your attack style.

[sammercer]

having a set of double swords would be cool

/agree

[Branwen]

The only thing I would really like to see is dual-welding

Don't get me wrong, spears would me awesome and anything else of the like.

I just personally love running around with 2 axes hacking at everything in sight

And I am a two hand fan. Yes, yes, overcompensating and all that.

However, I'd like to see two handed Swords and Axes, that's what I'm holding out for.

[Ray Of Light]

I would certainly like to see those weapons - but for new professions, not as a new arsenal for Warriors ( that just would not be fair ).

Have to think that new weapons are already planned for the new professions of Chapter 2, particularly has new melee classes must surely be on the way.

[Branwen]

Yeah, having more weapons for warriors would just be plain mean to all the other profesions. Afterall, every profesion but warrior has only one real choice of weapon, I don't think staffs and wands count as a different weapon (unless you are really uptight about that).

I would like the damage to be increased for all of the weapons as well, but that might just be me

~Branwen

[Rayburn Windwalker]

I don't think staffs and wands count as a different weapon (unless you are really uptight about that).


~Branwen

Of course they are.. one is one handed, the other is two-handed. Same with a Rod. This gives you the ability (for the one handed weapon) to carry focus items, chakrams, scrolls, etc....

So.. they are different, and count differently.

[Shannon Blackhawke]

And every class can carry any weapon anyway.

To be honest, the more I think on it, the less I want twin weapons in this game. Twin weapons are very much Oriental in style and this game (Only level 10, bear with me) has yet to show me any culture of that type. So, two handed swords, axes and one handed hammers is more in line with what I see.

[Branwen]

Rayburn, i dont think I explained myself clearly.

By different weapon I classifly them as sword, axe, staff etc. Yet while a long sword is certainly a different class as to a broad sword, they can still be stuck under the general title of swords.

That is what I meant, sorry if I didn't state that clearly (I am offen told my way of thinking is hard to follow without knowing me well or myself explaining it)

~Branwen

[Shannon Blackhawke]

The only issue with adding new two handed weapons would be the greatswords. Two hand axes can use the same animations as the maces, and the one hand versions of the maces can use the other one hand swords/axes. A two handed blade requires a player's hands be closer to the bottom, thus requiring a whole new animation set.

[DarkSun]

I think duel anything would be sweet. Claw type weapons would also be cool. Then you could duel weild those and be all deadly. 8)

[Shannon Blackhawke]

Here's what I don't get, from a 'story' perspective WHY haven't they put in a two hand sword anyway?

I mean, the God Balthazar, his weapon of CHOICE is the greatsword, and if you look at his statue, that's CLEARLY a two handed weapon. :shock:

Just sayin'. :)

[Guild of the Lords]

totallt agree with u man we should have them either in the new chapter or in a update.

[guy_savage_x]

I think duel weapons would be cool. But i think to weild at great sword would be a difficult think to pull off to make it even with the other skills. Cosidering how big they are and the size of there swings they would have to hit mulitble targets if they were close together. javascript:emoticon(':twisted:')
Twisted Evil I would love the distructive force of such weapons.

If these weapons would be put into the game I think it would be best as a new character class. I think the best way to make a great sword even with the rest of the classes is instead of adrinalin skills it woulb be shouts to allow the damage to hit multible targets.

And for duel weapons it would be 2 swords or any other weapon to be included in a set. Or have an ability to use them. LIke Charm animal for the ranger.

TECHNICALLY speaking, ALL two handed weapons should be able to sweep through multiple opponents, but they don't. Only one handed Axes do.
