Okay I think the Deldrimor weapons at the end of the Prophecies campaign were in fact the PROPER weapon skins for the Droknar Greens at the end of EotN. Now let me explain my theory, as we all know EotN was rushed and for the most part many skins and weapons were somewhat incomplete (Deldrimor armor?). I believe that the Deldrimor weapons given to us this weekend were what the design team had been working on for the end of EotN, with out time to complete them they made the ugly place holders that everyone thought were disgusting. Rather than replace them, they decided to give them to us in another way.

Its really just a tiny thought, and has logical reasoning to back it up. Wutcha think?

sure. i didnt feel the dwarves were all that important in proph. I woulda rather had shining blade weapons or lich weapons or something. Deldrimor weapons go much better with GWEN.

Deldrimor Weapons? time to catch up on the one *and apperently important* day of info I missed. According to what I get from you, these "Deldrimor Weapons" are end game greens. Correct? If so, I think it should be Titan Weapons *weapons that change to match environment ftw* and Deldrimor would be better for EN. But Droknar weapons fit well with EN, although they seem like the same exact thing in name.

good call on the titan weapons. thatd be hotness.

Leonhart · Apr 25, 2008, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Titans weapons seem like what the destroyer weapons are.

I'd say something to relate to ascalon.

the savage nornbear · Apr 25, 2008, 02:55 AM // 02:55

This is probably why they chose deldrimore, lack of standout ideas. Ascalon ones would be sweet. I always like some real looking weapons.

Chronos the Defiler · Apr 25, 2008, 02:57 AM // 02:57

maybe some kind of Dragon weapons, Tyria revolves around dragons...maybe a set of "Glint's Weapons"

RavagerOfDreams · Apr 25, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

dunno the new deldrimor ones are ok

but titan weps = epic

the savage nornbear · Apr 25, 2008, 02:59 AM // 02:59

Fiery Dragon Shield, Fiery Dragon Staff, Fiery Dragon Wand, Fiery Dragon Focus, Fiery Dragon Spear, Fiery Dragon Scythe. win.

xshadowwolfx · Apr 25, 2008, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I think that this is highly possible. Anyways I'm not so sure about titan weapons Im afraid they will just turn out to look like destroyer ones (not that fond of but still blew away all my money on a set for HoM sigh*)

Still the more the merrier

IlikeGW · Apr 25, 2008, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Hmmm nah they seem more like a lost line of BMP weps, or just normal post-BMP work. I think if it was part of GW:EN they'd have way worse models and textures, just look at the crummy destroyer weps.

Crummy Destroyer weapons? The Focus, Bow and Spear aren''t all that great, but the rest of 'em look quite excellent... All spikey black with glowing red lava, like the Destroyers themselves, if the screenshots on the wikis are to be believed. The Daggers are especially wicked.

It probably should have been Flameseeker weapons, but oh well it really doesn't matter. New weapons are always fun.

LifeInfusion · Apr 25, 2008, 03:57 AM // 03:57

Prophecies was the most thought out storyline for sure. The only thing it was missing (besides heroes + inscriptions + Alliance battles +PVE skills) was the endgame greens.

Brechnar Ironhammer sacrifices himself in the first Ring of Fire mission - maybe its a tribute to him and the other Dwarves scattered through out the campaign.

Master Knightfall · Apr 25, 2008, 04:57 AM // 04:57

Did you find most of the weapons and offhands as ugly as I did? I did the run, but, when I got there I just wasn't impressed, I've bought weaponsmith items that look better than these things. The shield when equiped looked like cardboard on the warrior. The sword is about the only thing with a decent design the rest mehpfft.

A Poet Named Virgil · Apr 25, 2008, 06:54 AM // 06:54

I have to agree with Knightfall. The weapons definitely weren't aesthetically pleasing to me, but to each his own! They just seem rather plain and rough for being added after so many cool weapons with animations.

Lest121 · Apr 25, 2008, 07:33 AM // 07:33

These weapons could have been for GWEN and they were in a rush to get Money so they added those Text mod crap and called them End game weapons, maybe they should add a End game armor for Prophecies and give us all the real designs they had in Mind for Gwen instead of those Reskins.

strcpy · Apr 25, 2008, 07:40 AM // 07:40

Yep, the fact they called them "Deldrimor weapons" cinched the deal for me. after all there was *nothing* bout them in prophecies other than most of the last game content and we all now that doesn't count at all

Further the fact that the didn't call them "shining blade Weapons", "Lich weapons", "Titan Weapons", "Ascalon Weapons", "Glint's Weapons", "Flameseeker weapons", or whatever name someone other than the developers thought to call them other than "Deldrimor Weapons" proves that they were unused art work that Anet decided not to release. Shame on them for doing that and they should have released this for free (well, or at least done so at the outset of the game).

Well, either that or the name has little do with the artwork. Dunno, but if they had called them "Dragon Weapons" this would have been the most awesome update to ever have hit GW. As of now I hate them all and know they have been around since the very beginning, otherwise they would have consulted me and seen what I wanted them to be named.

Err, well, either that or none of the above is true outside of some forum goers. For myself unless they call them "Ring of Fire Weapons" (named after the end game area) then they must be something they have kept to their selves to release when they though there were enough stooges to consider this a good update. I'm not falling for it, they don't have the right name and are obviously skins that have been around for ages.

Until Anet fesses up I will only log into the game for 4 hours or more a day, purchase all the games they release, and participate in fan forums (well, reality is that I only average an 1-1.5 hours a day since release when I purchased said game). While other games do not remotely come close to achieving those ideals I will refuse to purchase them unless (like GW) they are fun and will never play them (including the daily logging in for multiple hours per day nearing three years now for GW). You will feel the wrath of me purchasing all the games you produce because you are 99% perfect .

Jongo River · Apr 25, 2008, 07:43 AM // 07:43

The same theory was proposed regarding the BMP weapons. If it was ever the case, it can't keep being so for every new thing ANet does.
