Default Factions Weapons are too small

I was very disapointed to see what had happened to the Green End-Game weapons.

Their concept art looked so good, but the in-game models are so small, you can barely even make out any of the details. Same thing for the Kanaxai Axe. I was excited to learn I'd be able to wield the massive axe the the Kanaxai Aspects do, only to find out that the shiny-effects could barely even be noticed because of it's size. This really doesn't do such hard-earned weapons much justice.

I suggest making the weapons larger in future chapters. Is it realistic to wield a giant Mursaat Hammer? No, but it's much more fun to see a character wielding those Fellblades and Tribal Hammers.

Don't get me wrong, I like Phoenix Blades as much as the next, but let's give it a "long sword" size.

Agreed. I love the look of skins such as the phoenix blade. But unless I get one in a chest or drop. I'll never buy one. Skins for the shields seem fine though.

I was soooo dissapointed with the Katana... I was hoping for something bigger like oh I dunno... SEPHAROTHS SWORD... Now that would be something...

It's Gavel of the Nephilim, not Sledgehammer of the Nephilim. The size fits the name fine.

My main concern are for the shields ... most of them look stupidly small and while they have a pretty skin and model, their tiny size makes them look like useless toys that would break in one hit.

He's referring to Sephiroth, the main villain of Final Fantasy VII (If you haven't heard of this game, you obviously don't play any console RPGs) who wields a massive Katana named "Masamune".

the only satisfying weapon for a warrior in faction is gothic axe (not dual one), in terms of size...

I don't get why everything is so small either... are they trying to say asian are smaller and hence smaller weapon? If they are............

While on the other hand... most usable weapon in real life arent actually that big. But why ch1 weapon so much bigger in comparison?

Because Oriental weapons look like twinkies?

They really do look like crap. I really want the oni blade to be longer.

No! Keep the dimensions of the weapons with a basis in reality.

I do not want to play some cartoony game. I enjoy the visuals of Guild Wars because they are very realistic.

Agree about the Fellblade. That's why when I found one - I immediately gave it to one of my guild mates.
