Lurana.7506 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Imagine there won't be new elite specs or a new class but instead a new weapon for every class. Not a necessarily a different one each. But for exanple 4 or 5 new weapons and every class gets one of them? Would you like the idea? Maybe that would be better than elite specs bevcause of the balancing problem they couly cause. Weapon ideas: Terrestrial speer Whip Throwing dagger Crossbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Why not both? elite specs with new weapons as well as more weapons for base professions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramex.1506 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Love to have new weapons that my favorite class can't use ? If you really really want new weapons that bad that should do like Engineer's kit, wrench is a weapon that engineer can use in vanilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Curze.5130 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 None of the previous expacs brought new weapons, so the chances are slim to none imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downfall.4613 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Seems kinda pointless to add new weapons without any proper synergy with traits and such. If they dont make new e specs they would have to include the new weapons into the already existing specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 See...this is why just announcing a thing is a bad idea. The Hype that players make up on their own will never live up to what actually comes out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Almost certainly there will be several new weapons... skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hype that players make up on their own will never live up to what actually comes out... It isn't a bad idea. It isn't the fault on ANets part that people get unrealistic, unsubstantiated and unreasonable expectations stuck in their heads, never let them go, and when ANet doesn't deliver on that thing they have said **absolutely nothing about** the people get angry, throw a fit, etc. They told us what they told us, people just need to get it into their heads to not build up these crazy expectations as to what **could** be in the expansion and just simply speculate but take **none** of it as fact nor an expectation. TLDR; people need dial it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannelore.8153 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 They can't just go back and add a million skins for a new weapon type, which is why they release new playing styles instead. Though sometimes that doesn't work out the best either (Daredevil and Revenant look silly with some Staves in melee). That said, they could bring Spear onto land. Speargun and Trident are unlikely as they're too similar to other land weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I hope that they add more use of mace, shortbow, longbow, rifle, and pistol. So no, I don't think there should be more weapons when we have 16 already (not including aquatic). Sword, staff, greatsword are over represented.

I feel land spears stood their best chance with PoF and Elona and resurrection of paragons, but what about land spears in the style of naginatas / polearms? Or yea, still, just the spears as both melee and ranged weapon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shena Fu.5792 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 New weapon types will only be available for elite specs. So only level 80 versions will need to be created. Whether crafted, looted, ascended, and legendary. Three new weapons can be distributed to nine classes as follows: , Spear, Guardian, Elementalist, Revenant , 2H Axe, Warrior, Ranger, Engineer , Whip, Mesmer, Necromancer, Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einlanzer.1627 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I really feel this is something that should have already happened. Not adding land spears with Elona was basically the biggest dropped ball ever. Here's hoping they do it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 As it has been seven and a half years since GW2 launched it is my opinion that there are three things we should not realistically expect: anymore new professions, any new playable races, and any new types of weapons. I personally wouldn't have been opposed to some new stuff like Spears/Pole-arms in in the past, at this point in time its really too late. Just the huge pool of skins that new weapons would have to try to catch up with is a significant consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfboy.7953 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Would really like to see a greataxe added if any new weapons are made. we have one and two handed guns, swords, hammer/mace, staff/wand. however the axe is kind of sitting by its lonesome without a 2h version. could be a good warrior weapon with the burst skill being similar in animation to the old great sword burst, like a guillotine. possibly guardian, necro, ranger, or revenant as well. TASTE ONE THOUSAND AXES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmoid.7082 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Base classes won't get new weapons because it's a balance mine field. Elite specs won't get new weapons types because there are a lot of existing weapons each class can't use yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances were slim to none, yet still they entered the game in PoF I like the idea of a crossbow. Necro Crossbow. With which you can spawn a minion.
