Should there be left handed characters? - Guild Wars Forums

ryanryanryan0310 · Jul 08, 2006, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Since my last thread was close.../doh

Let me rephase the question. Should A-net make character's in GW be able to use boths hands to hold there weapon? By both hands, i mean left or right. Anyone else agree with a change this this?

Tarun · Jul 08, 2006, 04:14 PM // 16:14

Yes. Common feature to many games, and it should be with this one as well. Even Counter-Strike 1.6 lets you change hands.

I would love to have a left-handed character. I'm used to living in a righty world though. :P

For them to implement this, it would mean that chapter 3 gets delayed by two months.

Mournblade · Jul 08, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

It's too late now anyway. Too much effort to go back to all the models and revamp their animations.

it could be an update...
It would make customizing yours character alittle better.

For all the work that would go into this feature, not many people would notice or care about it. I could understand if this was a hugely wanted thing, but I have heard really no complaints about this topic.

I'm left handed, and I'd love to see my character be left handed. But, I also understand the graphical effort that A.Net would have to go through for this to be possible, especially when there's much more pressing things that need to be addressed.

So, if they decided suddenly "we should have left handed character options", I'd be happy. But, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if they decided not to do it.

Meh, Im' a righty, but using both hands would be sweet..

Maybe even just using one dagger on an assasin would be cool, so that you can use another on your other, and vice versa.

majoho · Jul 08, 2006, 07:39 PM // 19:39

Not really worth the effort.

August August · Jul 08, 2006, 07:52 PM // 19:52

Play while looking in a mirror.

Problem solved.

Just like in Diablo 2 LOD, both slots left to right you can either hold a shield or a weapon and vice versa.

Well im left handed and feel a little strange watching my right handed ranger fire a bow, shields+swords/axes im ok with as in real life as a elft handed person you wouldnt realy have a choice (as in Aikido).

Staves also seem a little strange to me in the right hand.
