greenblue.7104 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I was playing a Iron Blade today and would almost choose my great axe which has lower stats, over my great sword.Maybe adding new cosmetics to the game could spark a conversation about being able to change my wardrobe freely, without charges?

sephiroth.4217 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 People have pushed for this and Scythes since game release but users will always post that it doesn't fit certain animations.Personally I would love them and would love it to be added so I can equip it to my characters that have the right animations or look for it, obviously it's not a 1 size fits all but the opportunity itself is welcoming.

Naxos.2503 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Expecting someone to make a joke regarding the titleOh fine, I'll do it.Well they wouldn't be Great Axes if they weren't Great, now would they ?Now that's over with, Sure, that would be alright. Personally I think great axes could be accomodated as Hammer skins, since for the most part they're both great weapons, and have relatively similar handling. Obviously having it as a seperate weapon would be very nice, but I'd rather hand land spear, which would be significantly different than the existing weapons. That is, if they ever do another weapon, which to be fair, they dont seem to be doing. I guess that's one of the balance point they've established and do not want to go back on, for fear of causing a massive mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain.1659 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Great axe, spear, crossbow and orbs (for mages like a main hand focus). These would really be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Please no. Normal one-handed weapons are already completely oversized in this game (especially on female characters). The same goes for hammers and greatswords, with very few exceptions.I don't want to picture the laughable visuals of great axes in GW2. :lol: Would defy all physical laws, I am sure. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamreaver.4908 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If it was added to the game, at most, they'd just make it a unique skin for a hammer. Just saying. :anguished: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratan.4619 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 They could make it as a skin for one of the two handed weapons already in game using that weapons skill set. I would not want more weapon skills in game as balancing is hard enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornwolf.9721 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It would be awesome, but the nay sayers and A-net themselves refuse to even entertain the idea. We've gone on about this for a long time now and its become abundantly clear that its "Too much work" for them. Like the majority of basic features other games shove out with expansions, or content updates... but thats none of my business though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MokahTGS.7850 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The question you have to answer is how a new weapon would fit into all of the professions and elite specs. If you add a new weapon, you will undoubtedly have to add it to every profession as that is the goal for all weapons through elite specs. Realistically, I don't see a new weapon coming until we have all weapons for all classes. Still don't have my longbow elementalist (Arcane Archer) so I'd rather see that happen before they muddy the waters with new weapons.With that said, how would the great axe function for each profession?

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 If they do give us something like great axes it will undoubtedly be with an Elite Spec, just like the melee staff and the ranged hammer. The animation doesn’t need to match any current weapons so it could be in with regular axes and they give us a handful of great axe skins but the players can use the regular axe skins if they want.

Just saying. :anguished: Hammers could definitely use more exciting skins. I think the maces are fine, because they look like natural maces, however maces having more realistic skins in comparison to other weapon types is contradicting.
