Its disappointing to see other weapon types ignored. They were "chosen" by a player vote (with serious issues, but still) - not by ANet. I'm super sad that the dual-bladed staff didn't get into top three, but I hold out hope they'll use more - I'm pretty sure they held that open and I think they did that with a few GW1 contests...

I don't normally like the ~~cricket bats~~ greatswords in this game - but I do like Eclipse and think it actually looks comparatively swordlike.

hugo.4705 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018  1st : Favor of the collossus (torch)  2nd: Eclipse (greatsword)  3rd: Scion's Claw (sword) Finally I succeeded in uploading pictures separately, so you can "admire" them! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 All those saying how bad these are, you had your chance to design something better. I got all three last night. I liked how the collections for them worked out, the hints were easy enough that I didn't have to depend on Dulfy, plus picked up an extra 27 AP.

Zaraki.5784 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I remember I voted the torch back then but, for how it has been rendered in-game, I now prefer the 2 swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReV.6097 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Lovely. Enjoy the Sword. Not so found of the other 2. Still. Great work making them. I also hope whoever made number 5 will do that again on the next contest because it looked great for Rev/Daredevil combat... but hell.. I'd be happy with any new staffs shaped like a spear or polearm/Halbeard/glave etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The torch is exceptional. Would love a bit of animation to it, but otherwise it is one of my current fav skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miroe.2054 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The scions claw is absolutely amazing. It has those long hilts that look cool when it's sheathed, It hums wenever it is drawn or whenever I create a mesmer clone and it has those ribbons that swing around and is small and simple enough that it does not distract from the rest of the character. Home Run everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calb.3128 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The torch looks great, even if it is a little on the large size. Also a fan of the ribbons on the GS when used with Mesmer GS#1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraghound.5730 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Kinda wish some of the runner up weapons were added in game, but DANG I do love all of the top 3! They're so pretty looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... > 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. Well, perhaps I misspoke. I meant to say relatively obtainable melee staves that fit the style of monk-type warrior. With that filter in place, that effectively removes a large chunk of your list, given a martial artist / monk doesn't really mesh with scythes or spears. Reclaimed Staff is fugly Machined Staff equally so, unless perhaps you're a Charr Dominator Staff is odd/ kitchy, but it's price tag of 225g is more relevant The Forged staff does kinda eek in there, hadn't considered that one. So outside of the Forged Staff, the only other one on your list that really fits the martial-artist flavor is the Lightward Battlestaff (which I currently use), but which also has a hefty price tag of around 180g given it's a rare drop. My point being, this was a great way to introduce additional skins to the game, and instead we get more Greatswords and Longwords, both of which have such a wide variety of skins readily available, its really not difficult to find one that matches your race / profession / style.

Alga.6498 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I like Eclipse greatsword! The Touch is ewww :( I was voting for a Spear-looking staff but was really surprised it didnt come to top 3 :( Hoping to see more contests like these soon! Really awesome concepts arts designers!

OrbitalButt.5708 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's cool that they used some player made designs I guess. Not really a fan of these particular ones. I think I'll pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalendraf.9521 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I like all 3 of the new skins. I hope in the future that they have a Design-an-armor contest similar to this, and select (at least) the 3 most popular versions to add into the game.

Sargoth.8104 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sorry, I don't fight with neon surfboards or exploding bunches of crystals. Oooh, more glowy buster weapons, no wonder the magpies are in love. And they clip, and there are "collections" involved like legendaries even though they're exotics, and they're not scaled properly to the character models? And you have to cough up 15 ecto just to start the quest? No thanks. Dozens of more important things I can use 15 ecto for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current festival must be doing a really good job of removing materials from the market! While I don't care for any of the three weapons, I'm happy others are enjoying them.
