Why are warrior weapons and skills listed before all others? They're certainly not the most played class. Why are their weapons more expensive? I don't get it. It seems they are worshiped by the site mod's and game developers, but certainly not the communtiy. I'm not saying this is always the case but it is for the majority of the time. I'm going to link some examples below. Please don't get my thread closed with flaming. It's a discussion not a witty flamers thread.

LOL.

And they are the most played class ... perhaps not on this forum but overall. I have only met one person since launch that did not have a warrior and my fl has been recycled 3 times.

Now you've met 2.

Don't have a Warrior. Never had a Warrior. Don't intend to ever have one. 'nuff said.

Why do you care? Just need something to complain about? If you don't like it go make your own site. Another worthless whine thread. GG - whining about flames before anyone even does so ... it will be closed because it is pointless and flamebait.

I can speak for the price of the weapons. They are cool looking. Does anyone really care what the wands and staves look like. No, but everyone thinks Fellblades are cool. Second after warrior weapons and shields would be bows.

leprekan · Jan 05, 2007, 09:32 PM // 21:32

As I said in game does not reflect the forum .. which seems to gather like minds (being kind).

Esprit · Jan 05, 2007, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I don't have a Warrior either, that's besides the point.

Warriors have a much larger range of weapon types because that's what their primary purpose is, deal damage, and with the weapons that they have equipped.

Every class has is large amount of unique skins and if you looked at the poll of what people chose as their first character, Warrior is 1st or 2nd.

People tend to be more interested in different type of blades anyways.

Yes, a lot of people care about the skin of their caster weapons. Since melee weapons get most of the attention in the design process a decent caster skin is a rarity.

Most played classes:

1> Warrior
2> Monk
3> Ranger
4> Ele

There was a thread about this somewhere.

Exactly. I wish I could get cool looking caster weapons. If there were more cool caster skins, more people would care about them. As it is, the only real variety in weapons is with warrior weapons, and to a lesser extent bows.

Firey Dragon Staff anyone? Or how about a Storm Wand and Icy Focus?

sixdartbart · Jan 05, 2007, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Rather than try to debate any of this pointless thread I have a serious question.

I'm in Denver and it's snowing again today which made me wonder "Why is the snow white" I mean seriously I really like blue better so how come every time it is white

Is it just because Snow Blue wouldn't have been a good name for a story?

Incredible what people find to talk/complain about

Franco Power · Jan 05, 2007, 10:31 PM // 22:31

Most played class is definatly Warrior in PvE, followed by ranger and ele i think,

Admins you mentioned monk as 2nd class in pvp where you almost always need monks thats true.

Kakumei · Jan 05, 2007, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Why are Warriors listed first?

Have you even played this game? I guess you missed EVERY SINGLE LIST INGAME that always lists Warriors first. It's just how it happened. I would certainly prefer to always have the professions listed in a certain order (character creation, Priest of Balthazar, etc) than have it be randomized or whatever.

LagunaCid · Jan 05, 2007, 10:42 PM // 22:42

In case you didnt notice, its in reverse alphabetical order

LouAl · Jan 05, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

I don't really care which profession comes first but I have often wondered why certain things are arrange in the way that they are in GW...

For example

Why are the runes at the trader such an awful mess? Again it could be reverse alpha I have never checked, but it just seems...counter-intuitive to put it nicely.

Why are my characters in no discernable order at the login screen? Not really a big issue because it is easy to scroll and pick the one I want. But still, why in that order...

If you look in the profecies game manual, the professions are listed War, Ranger, Monk, Ele, Mesmer, Necro (I am not really smart but am pretty sure that is not reverse alpha...though I could be wrong). How did they choose that ordering as opposed to, say...standard alphabetical?

Well, not something that is a huge thorn in my side, but it just seems like they randomly threw everything in...always gave me a laugh

malignant-heretic · Jan 05, 2007, 11:06 PM // 23:06

maybe its aranged that way because thats the order the characters apear on the character creation screen?

prophecies:
W - R - Mo - N - Me - E

Factions:
W - R - Mo - N - Me - E - A - Rt

NF:
W - R - Mo - N - Me - E - P - D?

or as lagunacid mentioned its reverse alphabetical

Racthoh · Jan 05, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Guild Lord is a warrior.
Ghostly Hero is a warrior.
Rurik is (well, was

) a warrior.

Coincidence? Maybe. Regardless, it's not something worth losing sleep over.
