New CORE WEAPONS is one of the easiest form of new content that can add hundreds of gameplay-hours

I would be happy with underwater weapons being added to the land weapons; just a straight up 'here you go' and balance later.

just interested, the current topic creator have complete all achievements to 5000 blow kills whit all current weapons ? No ?

So why worry and suggest more ?

Do I need all achievements in the game to enjoy the game?

What balance? We do not have balance and I am of the opinion that the way GW2 is designed, with all the skills, weapons, upgrades, gear sets, boons, conditions, and traits is a game that cannot be balanced anyway because it is fundamentally broken design. GW1 was far easier to balance and is balanced, even with a dual-class system while GW2 is a nightmare. I think people who say that GW1 was harder to balance than GW2 do not understand what they are saying, at all.

 

At least give us the option to play with w/e we want and enjoy PvE even more. Competitive and balanced PvP in this game does not have a future anyway. New weapons or unlocking the weapons from elite specs mean more variety, more fleshing out the playstyle you want, more overall fun. And gaining new weapons or the ability to use elite ones as a core can be implemented as unlocking gameplay. The same way everything in this game is unlocked.

yes

some classes desperately need this imo. gw2 needs more diversity then balance at this point. I say yay.

that's false. most of the pvp meta builds have 1 maybe 2 skills from another profession. dual class was awesome in gw1.

Man thanks for blaming everything on us. Cause you know, it's not like PVErs fundamentally changed the game in any way.

 

Looks at the dungeon speedrunners

Looks at the raiders

Looks at the hardcore fractal players.

 

Yea uh huh, allllll our fault.

Honestly when it comes to forums complaints its usually pvpers and wvw.. But i agree raiders are up there as well ruining the game a little at a time.

I am sure those were far harder to do, and took up more resources than giving new weapon choices to the current classes.

couldn't agree more. but keep in mind you're posting this on the forums where the vast majority of people are afraid of and vehemently against the addition of new things and would prefer the game to remain the same for all of eternity. I don't see this ever happening because it's such a simple thing that would have been done a long time ago if they actually cared about adding variety to non elite specs.
