Sorry if there's a post on this or was one about 2 years ago which i missed....but why didn't Anet allow us to show our weapons inside towns...we can show off armor's and mini pets..but not weapons..any specific reason in this?

Towns would have unberable lag due to the amount of people with their weapons, and you already have titles to show off your epeen.

Possibly because of the Vampiric HP degeneration?

It would be cool to see other people's weapon sets. Implemented like the show/do not show cape and head piece.

mage767 · Sep 25, 2009, 12:06 AM // 00:06

Yup, a needed feature which ANET was lazy to implement.

Jensy · Sep 25, 2009, 12:08 AM // 00:08

A needed feature only for people who seem to think that other people care about what kind of weapons you have. Let's not stop here, we should be able to go /req and knock someone over for 5 seconds with huge number 7's...

Look at the amount of weapons that have animations(VS, fellblade, FDS, IDS, et al), surely this in itself would cause lag.

Saph · Sep 25, 2009, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Do we really want people pinging and 'sharing' their weapon sets in towns? The spam makes certain places bad enough as it is, and this would be one more thing to spam.

yea armor is reduced in towns to reduce lag and the hit on your computer. so adding weapons would just add lag. if you want to show off your weapons, play aion and spend $15/mo

Don't want this for the aforementioned reason: lag. Besides, it'd probably be annoying, and there are idiots out there who'd say 'omg you're not using a VS (as opposed to other spear skins) therefore you suck'.

I don't think degeneration in towns is a problem.

dusanyu · Sep 25, 2009, 02:48 AM // 02:48

possibly because it is a town.

lol anet should implement this feature this feature next April fools but if you Brandish your weapons in town you get arrested.

Haha that would be funny to watch. Say you Zrank someone in town and they die from degen. Funny if it was real, but I agree with the majority that it would cause too much lag and etc etc...

Aba · Sep 25, 2009, 04:19 AM // 04:19

LOL...
Just what we need Everyone trying to show off there weapons,while spamming /rank, /zrank in there Black Fow,Mask of mo zing and chaos gloves...

QueenofDeath · Sep 25, 2009, 04:44 AM // 04:44

So mini pets don't cause lag?

Yeah, they do - but there's a limit on how many can be displayed in a district. Can you imagine the QQ fest that would result if they implemented the ability to display weapons but limited it to only a few people at a time? Aside from that, how does one lag-iducing feature justify adding another? It doesn't.

superraptors · Sep 25, 2009, 06:52 AM // 06:52

probably suspend animation of weapons

but other then that useless implementation
