Dace.8173 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think Mortar kit needs an updated appearance. Like maybe looks like a bazooka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant.7206 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 All the kits need appearances updated. They're our "weapons" but we can't customize then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracz.4702 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It should be renamed to "Elite Grenade Launcher Kit", or have appearance of, you know, a mortarIn game mortar: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/5/56/Elite_Mortar_Kit.jpg/800px-Elite_Mortar_Kit.jpgIRL mortar: http://www.benning.army.mil/Infantry/198th/Mortar-Company/images/MortarCo_BG.png Smaller one: https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/W-Ordnance-2-HT-Oct10-e1494001500320.jpgIRL grenade launcher: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/M79_Grenade_Launcher_%287414625716%29.jpg/1200px-M79_Grenade_Launcher_%287414625716%29.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Francois.4328 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm okay with the appearence of Mortar Kit.I'm waaaaay more concerned about Bomb Kit and its bad animations, considering it's our main melee weapon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detergente Ariel.8147 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 In general the engineer should have the option to personalice his turrets and weapons kits even if with gems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the actual power of it was lackluster.There was no reason to use it ever. Mortar kit is a huge improvement when it comes to gameplay, even if you might be unhappy with it aesthetically.

Milan.9035 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think when morter kit got the rework they said that the rifle graphic is just a place holder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peutrifectus.4830 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't mind the animation but the model needs to change.I'd like to to look more like a mortar tube with a steampunk style targeting gizmo on it but when the character model stops running/moving, it should adopt a kneeling position like... someone firing a mortar!
