hugo.4705 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks for implementing the winners of the design-a-weapon contest! collections are easy to do and I love these weapons! (apart the torch..) again thanks from my heart, zephyr decorations and now fanmade weapons... thanks again! These things warm my heart! Impatient to see future improvments, ls episodes and why not contest? Design-a-map contest? :) PS: for players you haven't noticed, go in lion arch, open the mail, craft the item and start collecting for the three new weapons: Eclipse the great sword (cheap gs legendary) , Scion's claw the sword (warhammer 40k power sword) and favor of the colossus the torch. respectively, ebonhawke , dry top and dredgehaunt cliffs. 2nd Edit: Sorry, tried to add a picture with Imgur but he don't want, so here is the link to the picture of weapons: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-the-winners-of-the-2017-design-a-weapon-contest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of bothers me that models badly need in Gw2 only came in at 5th place and 8th place. I get it that only Daredevil Thief and Revenant use the staff as a melee weapon, but there are pretty much only 3 (arguably 4) Staff skins in the game that aren't obviously caster staves, 2 of which are part of the Daredevil collection. A little variety would be appreciated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yup agree, 3 is not that much they could have modeled 5 weapons at a minimum. :/ But I'm sure we will see some others weapons from the contest in the future. Also, does anyone knows where to see all the contestants submissions? Would like to see everyone work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizler.8192 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Are these weapons exotic or ascended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 exotic badly, but you can justify that by the fact that the collections are very easy to do I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecar.1236 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Torch is badass and sword is nice too but why is there only 3 weapons? I hope next will be there more that 3 weapons.Its better make design-a-weapon contest for each weapon and then release winner from every weapon types.

Ashantara.8731 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I only like the one-handed sword (except that its hilt sticks deep into the torso, which is poo). The other two: nah. However, I wonder if there is a way to get more than one Golden/Onyx Lion skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I don't like the Greatsword one bit. I know they were going for a more realistic hilt to blade ratio, but that thing is tiny and negates the advantage (range and weight) a Greatsword would have in favor of flashy visuals. Sad!

There is only a handful of greatswords in this game that look nice, and this monstrosity certainly isn't one of them. (At least we agree on disliking it.)

Haleydawn.3764 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I like all of them, but the Torch is HUGE, so laughing at you guys crying over the Greatsword which isn't overly surfboard, yet longer than a one handed sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only a handful of greatswords in this game that look nice, and this monstrosity certainly isn't one of them. (At least we agree on disliking it.) All I'm saying is that if it was a bit bigger it would look better than that. Right now it's just so.. cramped? All the visual action is in the hilt, the actual blade could be LONGER, not wider to offset that ratio a little bit. Also: I really welcome every addition of items you can feasibly collect INGAME. My criticism shouldn't take away from that fact. It's a nice skin, maybe I will come to like it at some point or simply accept it's not for me. Keep up the good work @ everybody who worked on it & the original creators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare.1234 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I voted for the torch and it looks nice, really hoping the scaling not as big as it looks in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 That torch should be legendary....Flames of War is a disgusting looking item.... This new one looks like it was crafted from the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big shiny REALLY distracts from the lower hand though, I only saw a few fingers and thought it was the other half lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little variety would be appreciated... There's a lot more melee staves than that. Just off the top of my head: the two daredevil ones, the scythe, Final Rest, the Reclaimed staff, the Dominator staff, the Forged staff, Lightward's Battlestaff, Sunspear, Darkspear, Sunscythe, and that gem store scythe.

Omnicron.2467 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The greatsword looks cool imo, I voted for the torch and was really looking forward to it, but it is just too huge and clips awkwardly, if it was 20% smaller it would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Tastes are obviously subjective, but I can't help but be quite irritated that _Two_ of the _Three_ chosen were Swords (and I don't care in the least that they are "different" as one is one handed and one is two). Its disappointing to see other weapon types ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
