The Boz.2038 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It's an expansion-level implementation; why would you just assume they'd just tick a box and reuse all the crap animations they have right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apolo.5942 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 New weapons as in say a 2 handed Axe, i doubt it, it requires art, balance, new animations, new mechanics and so for.What would be viable and i wish they would do already, is scrap the useless underwater combat that nobody cares for, and recycle spear, harpoon and trident into real weapons.Would love me some warrior with shield and spear.

Spear as a new single handed weapon for land based combat would be great though, we see Paragon NPCs do it after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could give Trident to Revenant and Thief on land, letting them have access to a more magical staff-equivalent, as their regular staffs are melee weapons. Speargun could become a more damage focussed weapon on Engineer and less utility-focused like their usual Rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd be willing to say that they will consider the current 'Throw' finished and good ok enough to use on an elite spec. Anet has a track record of reusing assets rather than making new ones.

otto.5684 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Getting new weapons for classes would be awesome, but I am pretty certain this is not what Anet meant. While I am unsure of the context, new weapons would be the biggest thing since PoF release. Anet advertise each LW episode as if it the biggest thing since grilled cheese. Something with the magnitude of new weapons announcement would be beyond any doubt. And considering the proximity of the new expansion, something like new weapons is highly unlikely.What Anet was probably eluding to is weapon drops with new skins.

medivh.4725 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Surely spears can be used in the land fights too. Spears are so so undertilized by GW2. So many nice spear designs wasted. Please come out with land spears combos, land spears skills. Can't wait. Already thief and rev are fighting with staff. Make that with the spears too.

Oxstar.7643 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Woah. That's some cool news. And yes, balancing will be tough, as it always is, but this game has been about challenging the traditional mmorpg concepts since day 1, and newity is always a good idea because it opens the door to refinement, or at least it lights a torch for others to carry. Bring on the new weapons, bring on the new skills, those who don't like the brave approach can go play WoW, kthxbai.Edit: Read some of the other comments, if it's just skins then my opinion still stands, but I want actual content, not vanity.

Zaoda.1653 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'd like to see a greataxe weapon (would suit a warrior IMO), and a whip weapon (suits elementalist - would go in the character's hand where a sword would normally go), and a scythe weapon (suits necro) - and I'm not talking about scythe STAFF skins, I mean a new actual scythe weapon.In terms of a skin I'd like to see - I'd like to see the animated Voltaic Spear skin in GW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medivh.4725 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 There is so much protential with land spear fighting. It is being used traditionally as well. Sadly GW world only has spears in sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
