You know what GW really needs?

Guild Wars needs guns. Guns are so awesome. I am tired of all this primitive bow-crap. My ranger, Rambo Ironshot, wants a shotgun. Why? Who cares? Just the whole image thing is awesome.

Awesome,Yes?
Give me your thoughts on this.

RE: You know what GW really needs?

Why not just play first person shooters? Ghost recon? Battlefield 1942 (and its add-ons) Battlefield 2? Ravenshield(I think thats it)? Fear? etc....

I dont quite understand this whole gun fascination thing with GW?

RE: You know what GW really needs?

This was intended as humor, Iminluvwit2women. Just throwing out an idea that would make Rangers more awesome.

On a practical note, they could be the hammers of the ranger world. Think about it. Slow reload time, high damage. And loud noises. I love it.

RE: You know what GW really needs?

I don't really like the idea of adding Guns to the game. Though I would love to see other options for rangers, but not a gun.

RE: You know what GW really needs?

How about some kind of gnome-like race that makes laser weapons and giant robots with missiles and such?

Mechwarrior 1500 AD : The Guild Wars

Meteor Shower? Meh. Allow me to fire up my LRM-20 and take out everything up on that hill. Talk about Ettin farming.

What about cybernetics? Computerized targeting system for your ranger? Wired reflexes for your warrior?

We could just fire nuclear devices at each other from our guild halls and plunge Tyria into nuclear winter.

Am I coming off facetious enough?

=P

Pah! LRM20's are for people who can't handle the real thing.
Twin Heavy Gauss and a steady hand on the stick is my cup of tea :-) That or the biggest Ultra-AC's my quartermaster can spare.

But if you're really looking for a cool Ranger weapon, let's go for the atlatl spear thrower. Stay in the Hyborean background a bit. And you still have the same amount of stopping power as with a shotgun.

RE: You know what GW really needs?

hahahahaha
this can only be a joke

if it isnt , gw doesnt need guns cose thats what people with no brains use to get what they want.
guildwars is about math skills , so , keep studying or die.

omg , my rude tone as stared. i mean , this is a fantasy world.in medivel times , somewhere in time before there was guns in that planet.

we have catapults !!

but thinking about it more ... i dont see it as impossible , for some expention pack in the future to bring a profession with guns ... well , why not , for those guns lovers. i can imagine so many anti guns skills.

steal amo - removes target amo for 3-9 seconds , target makes funy emote trying to recharge is gun

RE: You know what GW really needs?

You really want cats to have guns?

Make sure you feed yours regularly then ;-)

As to people who seriously feel there should be Guns in a Guild Wars (alike) game, may I recommend Tabula Rasa, which as far as I can tell from the information so far is going to be a kind of "Guild Wars in Space".

MMORPG (Roleplaying): Mostly Men Online Role-Playing Girls
MMORPG (Acheivement): Miserable Malcontents Online Rehashing Past Glories
MMORPG (PvP): Macho Men Obviously Really Prefer Griefing

Yeah, there's just something about pummeling each other with large rocks that sounds more fun than shooting.

Hate to disillusion you, but almost all of the siege engines in GW are Ballistae, not catapults.

Bah! at Haevy Gauss; paired Class 20 LB-X A/C or paired Class 20 Ultra A/C are much better IMO. But none of those compair with my favorite weapon of MechWarrior,...the Clan ER PPC.

Who'd want to fire LRM's at a hill when you could call in indirect fire or better yet, fire a 'Mech mounted artillery piece(Long Tom anyone?)

Speaking of MechWarrior, what's your favorite 'Mech(s)?
Mine are: Adder, Hellhound, Timber Wolf, Mad Cat mkii, Dire Wolf, and Kodiak.

Getting slightly off-topic (again) but here goes:

Favorite Mechs:
Light Mech: Cougar or Puma
Medium Mech: Bushwacker or Uziel
Heavy Mech: Thanatos or Thor
Assault Mech: Mad Cat Mark II or Fafnir

Haven't done any Dark Ages.

Yes, I know exactly what GW really needs: Munchies!! With out something for our characters to munch on, they are gonna just shrivel up and die from starvation and malnutririon.

ANet, we want munchies!! :D

I think to liven the game up , we can make fires then have a sit down and roast marshmellows. This would lose our dp ;o

RE: You know what GW really needs?

well, how bout adding crossbows, to balance between guns and bows? More power, more accuracy, but longer reload times. Instead of fiery bowstrings, the bolts(ammo) would be the mods. upgradeable triggers or grips. Maybe as a skill, rapid fire, shoots off several less accurate bolts.

Crossbows would keep the illusion of the era, while satisfying(hopefully) those gun-addicts.

Cannoneers would be cool too.

Technicians would be an interesting profession.

RE: You know what GW really needs?

how about a class that uses crossbows and you can use powerful crossbows and get attributes like:
Reload-speeds up the rate of fire
snipe-improves snipe skills
undead hunter-improves dmg to undead creatures and holy bolt skills
gunner-increases gunner skills and improves crossbow attack

Hmm, don't think there will be guns :P
It's a good joke but still ... not possible :D

If you really want a second weapon for a ranger, I'd say get crossbows.
Imagine IWAY with gauge shells flying over the place :S

RE: You know what GW really needs?

Speaking of new ranger weapons, guess what I'd really like to get?
A whip! Yes, a good old Indiana Jonessy style whip for close combat!
I think it would fit perfectly to the genre (besides, this would be the long sought after
"wilderness survival weapon"), and think about those skills associated also:
"Disarm Foe", "Intimidating Slash", "Tame Animal", etc.
Someone mentioned the crossbows too; I think those are a good idea also.
