Ok........Many a time have I been stunned to see that the ranger has a great gameplay expaerience, only to find out,that they pull arrows out of thin air -_- I mean It wouldnt be that hard to put a stationary quiver on the ranger. Not a quiver whwre u could see the arrows being depeleted, b/c this would lead to buying arrows, but just a stainoary quiver, that was always full of arrows, so at least the ranger was pulling the arrows out of somthing, not like a David Copperifeld ranger pulling arrows out of thin air.
And it might also be cool to have quivers that atch the armor. Not as a sepreate thng that you have to craft, but comes along with the chest peice of armor. Like Primeval could have spikes, Obsidian could be black....etc...etc.....post back on what you think! I love hearin from yall!!

Good idea, i asked Gaile Gray during one of her visits once and she said that would be rather intresting.
Now if we could only log back into gw, right now it seems the servers are down worldwide :/

if they added a quiver wouldnt the need a longer animation?
so skills cast same amount of time leading to the animation being faster then it should be? (or rushed even)
also im pretty happy without it,
then warrios may want a sword holder for towns,
eles may want seering on armour.
i like things the way they are

I agree with you on this one. It has always bothered me that Rangers don't carry a quiver.
I think the quiver should come with the bow though. That way each bow type has its own unique quiver.

Ahhhh...I like that idea. And for the other post, it wouldnt lengthen the animation, he would do the same thing, exept the arrow would come out of a quiver instead of thin air. Every animation would be the same length, with the exeption that thwy would pull arrows out of quivers. Now for warriors needing sheaths, thats absurd. When during gameplay can you put away a warriors sword anyways? Besides your backpack.

but if it was to be done faster wouldnt the toon have to reach into quver behind back and load it in and aim,
but now all he does is load and aim.
form my image of it the chars hand would not stop moving andut look like a loop, while currently i think it looks more natural.

But the ranger still reach back and pull the arrow out of thin air where a quiver would be. So just add a case and be dont with it. and add a bow string they all ready *pull back on one* just add a line and itd be great.

Cool idea adding quivers and bow strings to the bows. I always thought it was strange not too have a quiver. Even some of the assassin armors have the daggers attached to the armor. Also in the Prophecies handbook when mehnlo, devona, aiden, and cynn are at the academy he pull out his quivers and some arrows and puts poison on them, but there is no quiver ingame. The animation for shooting does look like the ranger is pulling arrows out of some where.
How about when you miss the arrows get stuck in the ground and when you hit the arrows stay in the body similar to how it is in CoX. I think it strange that the arrow just disapears when it misses and hits.

This is an idea I've always wanted implemented. Even the White Mantle Seekers have quivers.
/sign to have quivers!
Also, it'd be cool if you could see your weapons while in towns, but sheathed in a way. Warriors could either carry their shield with their sword on their back or have both on their back, staves on the back, bows slung over the rangers shoulders, etc. etc. Even though the last idea is over the top, it'd be cool. =D

nah leave it the way they are, a-net has more important things to worry about for 1. also look at how it would clip with capes, druids armor, and many other armors with long robes, also what about secondary rangers? they couldnt have quivers cuz they cant have ranger armor.
i dont like this idea much, but i do think bowstrings should be put on bcuz those are one of the upgrades so you should be able to see them

you could always put the quiver on the thigh. but the bows definately need a bow string. and you should be able to see weps in towns. i wanna show off that expensive fellblade and oni blade, not just my armor.

Showing Weapons in towns may be a good idea but I think it would be more of a headache. You say you want to show off your Fellblade? Well you show it off in town and people would start to try and buy it. Things would end up like Runescape - People would see your weapon and pester you to sell it.
I think the visible Bowstrings and Quivers are a great idea but showing weapons in town would be more trouble than its worth.

Yeah maybe. But the good thing about GW is that all skins have extremely varying stats. I'd defiantly equip the pre-sear long sword with the crystalline skin and parade around town :)
And the animation doesn't need to change, adding quivers will just make it seem more believable. Now how to fix the paragon spears......

would deffinetly like to see this happen. but i think ANET needs to work on clipping issues with capes and a ton of armor. like ranher druids the cape lets the bottom of legs pass through and on their canthan armor their legs just sort of pass through that whiten leather thing on the front.
but it would be a nice thing. and strings too.
spears too should have like a holder with 3 spears on paragons backs. i swear there spears are boomernags in disguise.

m'kay one question i should have asked earlier:
will the quiver be used in the animation, as in would it reach into the quiver take arrow and fire?
or
same animation with the quiver not being used?
whats the point if its not used?
paragons and rangers are great atm, i have one of both.
maybe if some armours came with a non-funcioning quiver that'd work, so whoever wanted one would get one, because i dont want my toons with them
guildwars is just gaming for me,doesnt have to be realisit, theres no bone dragons or kappas in real life,
if wpeopel wanted it realistic then they'd want gore on swords, blood flying when an artery was hit, and seer marks on skin[/QUOTE]

As has been said, a quiver would mean a longer (or rushed) animation... which would either 1) make rangers less effective or 2) make the draw animation look dumb... superfast drawing lol... amazing how they aim so fast :)
Paragon spears....everyone knows that spears are magical and appear at will out of thin air...why do you think the paragon doesn't have the extra energy blips...it's using magic all the time! ;)

Again...perfectly said....Folks comon...it wouldnt lengthen the animation at all. They already draw the arrow out of the place where the quiver qould be. Adding a quiver would just give them somthing to pull the arrow out of. I dont understand why you think this wil slow down or speed up the animation.

desnt the ranger animation already have an arrow in hand so they dont have to reach back in to a non-existant quiver.
also as somone said it would more then likly cclash with cape,so a quiver would havve to be outside of cape. so the option of having it asa hidden thing is pointless ( as you either want a quiver or dont).
so the only possible way i can think is if it was a separate armour. meaning pick somthing and stay with it.
i think its alot more trouble then its worth tho,as there seems only a few that'd like it

The animation wouldn't be any longer as a ranger already pulls an arrow from behind his head. Either go shoot stuff to see, or go get fired at by a White Mantle Seeker, they have quivers.

While this is true, the White Mantle Seekers also don't have capes (from what I remember....it's been a while). The cape/quiver thing could be handled by hiding the quiver when the cape is showing and when your cape is hidden, the quiver is showing. You wouldn't need any extra animations, toggle buttons or anything. You would just continue to use the "Show Cape" button to hide or show the quiver....while one is shown, the other isn't.

just an idea, I think it would be cool if every ranger started out with a starter quiver and could purchase different ones throughout the game, maybe there would be rare skinned ones or something, but thats not going to happen because the economy is screwed up enough on gw, i think it should either come with the armor you buy ( say you had 1.5k druids, it could be a quiver m ade of bamboo), or every ranger should have the same quiver that can/cant be dyed.
edit- I also think capes should be much longer.
