Whats the point of buying a maxa damage felblade with all the coolest stats and kickass upgrades if nobody can see it outside of combat unless they open trade menu?
There should be a toggleable holster for your weapons and sheild/focus so u can display them slung on your back or by your side in a sheath or on a bandolier or something.
That way everybody can see you Magmas shield and icy dragon sword strapped to your back.
(and you can tell if your monk is going to pull out a hammer as soon as you start the mission, rather than get a nasty surprise)

I'd love to show off my gear in town.

This sounds like a decent idea. I doubt it would be implemented though, sadly.

Having a longsword across back with a shield over it.. Sweet.

It'd also be nice for ele's and maybe other spell casters to have their staff hover in the air next to them. Nice idea, although the graphical work required could be significant...

I hope you're buying them to use in battle, not just show people...

oooh good feedback here. Like the floating staff idea, although it could get a liitle bit silly with all those staffs flyin about, someonecould get their eye put out.

Xenrath · Feb 05, 2006, 12:13 AM // 00:13

You mean scabbard, for swords, knives and other blade type weapons.

Holsters are for guns and such

PieXags · Feb 05, 2006, 12:16 AM // 00:16

I definately like this idea, not only does it let you show off your stuff---it just adds to the realism of it all, makes the game a lot more immersive I'd have to say. Honestly, who's weapon magically disappears when they're in a town? It'd be wicked for you to stick it in your belt or put it on your back or something.

Along with this you could also have customizable "holsters"---you could buy different sorts of straps and scabbards for your weapons to further differentiate you from the others. Good idea me thinks.

Guillaume De Sonoma · Feb 05, 2006, 12:25 AM // 00:25

I like this idea. I have nothing fancy, just collectors, but I'd rather have some badass weapon to show off in town.

Evil Hypnotist · Feb 05, 2006, 12:28 AM // 00:28

you're gonna have to look a bit harder for my mega impressive protective icon

, still a nice idea

If they can have it toggle like the headgear, that would be nice.

The idea reminds me of Devona in the intro movie from a while ago, when she pulls her sword out of a sheath behind her to slay some boss.

Xenrath · Feb 05, 2006, 01:36 AM // 01:36

I'd like to see weapons slung in town too, though I'm not sure how it could be done. Bows could be slung over the back/shoulder I suppose, but swords/axes/hammers? They would interfere with/block the view of capes? Something like this maybe?

Considering it's all right handed in GW weapons would have to be on the left. That or have a scabbard slung over the left shoulder so the weapon hangs down vertically (think of how modern rifles are slung down the side/shoulder). Though again, interference from the armour model. Staves I suppose could just be carried around, at a less horizontal angle.

chris_nin00 · Feb 05, 2006, 02:10 AM // 02:10

They would interfere with the capes.
Why not just show off your pets too

I definitely like this idea. I mean, honestly, a lot of the 'cooler' looking shields/items are for 'bragging rights' and well..it would be nice to be able to do that, wouldn't it?

MinaDrakul · Feb 05, 2006, 02:56 AM // 02:56

I think this would be awesome to have! Then I could show off the eternal shield I'm bidding on!

Riotact · Feb 05, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

What an awesome idea. Probly the best idea i have read for guild wars. I really hope they did this, and i dont think that it would b that hard.

Kaguya · Feb 05, 2006, 09:28 AM // 09:28

As long as it's toggleable, I have nothing against it.

Easy implementation would be to add the little eye on the weapon slots like cape&helmet, 'Show in Outposts/Hide in Outposts'

fallot · Feb 05, 2006, 10:26 AM // 10:26

How about a /flourish emote instead ? You'd take out your weapon and make some ego-inflating motions for a few seconds.

Martian · Feb 05, 2006, 11:52 AM // 11:52

I agree it would have to be toggleable otherwise you might embarass yourself. Imagine a hulking great tank in fissure armour strutting around with a Tiny little short-sword strapped to his side. Not that ive got something against short swords.
And it would be fun to wave your stuff in peoples faces although it might put off someone from pre-sear just arriving in ascalon when a crowd of level twenty Warriors run at them waving dirty great flamberges and fellblades.
