The hammer is first-rate, as is the shield. In fact the only thing that I don't like that much is the bottom-right sword. But it's still ok.

Agild Greenfinger · Feb 03, 2006, 04:21 PM // 16:21

this is not me being sour and I'd like to congrat all the winners, but honestly I'm a bit dissapointed with the winning entries.

I really like:

Chang's sword

the shield

the hammer(my favourit)

the axe(actually I'm not too hot on the drawing, but it's very close to one of my own axe designs so how can I not approve of it?

)

the rest are pretty dull, in particular the vodoo doll idol, no offense to Allen, but I'm pretty sure others came up with that same idea and I have a hard time believing that none of those came up with a better presentation of said idol.

if there's one thing really bothering me though then it's the fact that Anet chose two swords for winning entries and left out a wand/staff...that just seems plain dumb. of the two swords submitted I'd like to see Nicole's go, as it seems to follow the "oooooh Spiky = cooool" design principle which I very much disagree with...

with that said...still congrats to ALL winning entries.

The axe is best by far, the way the dragons wings form the blades really is great.

Star Asia · Feb 03, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

A big congrats to all the winners in the Design-A-Weapon contest!!!

The axe and shield I would love to see my warrior wield!

And the bow just wowed me big-time----I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to S. Britton, the only UK representative who managed to get into the Honourable Mentions. Well done to everyone who contributed, and also to those who have posted in this thread. I am very enveous of your talents, I can barely draw a straight line myself ^^

I just want more skins for wands. There are already 50 bazillion axe, sword and bow skins.

There are 2 skins for necro wands. Not fair.

Sum1 · Feb 03, 2006, 07:27 PM // 19:27

...im hoping for a cool-looking hammer of some sort. might buy one asap dpending on looks...astetics matter lots to me...

Congrats Lasareth

That money on the table did pay off! hmmm?

xBakox · Feb 03, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Could it be that the sword by Michelle Chang is a dagger for assassin? Just a guess, which would explain why they had 2 swords.

Agild Greenfinger · Feb 03, 2006, 08:23 PM // 20:23

could be that they opted for that but it's still kinda lame since there was no Dagger category for the contest...

Sir Skullcrasher · Feb 03, 2006, 08:30 PM // 20:30

I wish there were more different design for staffs and wands. Also more necro items wouldn't be bad since majority of GW community has a necro.

SziP · Feb 03, 2006, 09:24 PM // 21:24

I hope there are more items just like these, having very nice looking weapons in a game makes it more attractive.

PS: When are they going to show some armor for Warriors, Rangers, Monks, Mesmers,.......etc.

Konrow · Feb 03, 2006, 09:29 PM // 21:29

omg i love that bow and changs sword is amazing too. can't wait to get my hands on some of these

led-zep · Feb 03, 2006, 09:39 PM // 21:39

it seems like everyone apart from the hammer, staff, offhand and sheild designers (as well as Anet) has forgotten which class weilds which weapon (secondarys excluded) where would a ranger want a necro looking bow, the sword is just plain gross and would be more suited to a necro and the axe.....looks like it'll fall apart if it hit anything. its a shame none of the winners really tried anything apart from the normal conventional styles already seen. if i had to choose a fav though it'd have to be the hammer (even though i hate hammers) as it looks as much a warrior weapon as can be. ( i do like the bow but it really isnt a ranger looking weapon at all, its got necro written all over it)

I have to disagree with you, the axe is totally balanced because as u can see its edges are connected to eachother.How is that bow a necro bow?......its totally for a ranger. These items are not ALL for specific classes,maybe all the staffs are going to be used by the casters.

PS: that bow is not going to be for N/R or N only, im sure its for Rangers.

So, why didn't you submit any pieces of art?

led-zep · Feb 03, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

Szip you miss the point entirely or just didnt grasp it, the bow is in all intents and purposes a bat, that is more suited to a necros style than a rangers, i didnt actually say it was going to be used by a necro, same really for the sword, its a bone, its more suited to the necro than the warriors style. maybe if the warrior had some bone armour it might work but it suits no styles that the warrior currently possesses. unless this is an indication of new a armour style for the ranger and warrior?
and bigtru, am i not allowed an opinion because i didnt enter? why are you taking it so personally? thanks for the reply though even if its a little bit petty and troll-like.
i didnt enter because having a designed weapon just put in a game isnt enough of a prize for me to enter, after all this is what anet staff are getting paid to do.

^ I know they could have had a $10,000 reward at LEAST, common man I'm tried of hearing this argument...It was a priviledge, even a life time opportunity to contribute to artistically beautiful game.
