I agree with Shadowmere, as soon as people here "gun" , they think freaking machine guns and 50 cal AA's.

We are advancing 200 years , not like 2000 years guys.

Pipe + powder + rock = wow a basic gun :O.
All of the ingredients are readily available in gw, its just a matter of time until some retard decides to mix them together.

BTW in no where in guildwars has anyone developed laser technology. For those of you who don't fully understand laser it is a Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation .

Asurans HAVE however developed technology relient on abstracting energy from crystals. Pure energy (and or some kind of magical energy that relates to lore) is much different than light.

Lasers require electrical technology (much like that we use in society everday), while this Magical energy is simply from a magical stone. If someone gets to close to the stone, it releases the eenrgy and "zaps" you.

Nothing to win - it's a discussion.

And for what purpose?
Because, y'know, we're advancing 200 years in a world where magic exists. Why the hell would anyone try to make a car, when you have teleportation spells, portals and other stuff like that?
And why would you try to make a shitty gun if you already have Flare?

Changed to show how poor the argument is.

Right, because bows and fantasy don't mix up.
Right'o!
[Cause bows aren't used for interrupts and conditions in GW, mirite?]

What has that to do with your argument? Or are you changing it now to "it doesn't fit fantasy?" And you're throwing in that bows are used for interrupts and conditions why? You have completely lost me.

MithranArkanere · Feb 26, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

And other spells can cause conditions an interruptions too. Again an invalid argument.

Bows mix with fantasy as good as guns do.

Because there is something about fantasy you must know: IT HAS NO LIMITS.

This is one of the best examples of Fantasy guns:

And it WAY more futuristic than a musket or a blunderbuss.

Lots of fantasy games use guns.

First example that comes in mind : Warhammer. You probably can't find anything more stereotyped-fantasy-esque...

And spells can interrupt or give conditions.

You act like your reply is relevant to the point he made.

AK-47's for EVERYONE!
I would like the catapults in thunderhead keep to become howitzers, that would be FUN.

Etta · Feb 26, 2008, 03:41 PM // 15:41

^ He's already said old school guns or magical only. What is this? Day of stupid?

Depend on the game setting though if done right, then stuff like musket rifle or old times 6 shooter can fit it rather nicely. Also GW already have gunpowder cannon.

It's always an awesome sign to see 20+ musketeers line up and blast away in sword of the new world's colonies war.

MSecorsky · Feb 26, 2008, 03:44 PM // 15:44

Guns in GW would be ANets official "jumping the shark" moment and would begin the demise of GW. It is so outside what GW is about that it would begin the death thralls of the game.

It's not a question of whether it could be done, but whether it should be done.

Why ?

Pleikki · Feb 26, 2008, 04:04 PM // 16:04

No for firearms Go play FPS Frag games if you want guns imo

Shadowmere · Feb 26, 2008, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Gah! So much for the picto-gram simplifying things for everyone to understand. must've been cuz it was so low on the last page...

seriously am I going to have to start quoting my picto-post on the last page just so everyone gets what we're talking about?

p.s. I do appreciate maximus being a bit silly

WTF is with fps suggestions!

fps = first person shooter
gw = 3rd person view, YES there are games out there that utilize 3rd person view with guns. They have bows in GW, does it make the screen go into first person? NO -_- .

There are tonnes of mmorpg's that utilize guns.

You see gun, and you assume that we are sugesting to make guildwars like "Call of duty 4" or somthing. I Believe we have gotten past futuristic weapons, and modern ones already. Thus leaving the classical ones, and magical ones. Classical being mortars, small cannons, muskets, flintlocks, etc. Magical simply being somthing that would use energized crystals (like that in G.O.L.E.M.s), or some other magical gem in the GW lore (blood stones, etc).

Sure maybe we wont be able to use the guns, but you are horribly mistaken if you believe you won't see atleast one gun-related weapon on a NPC in GW2.

Heck, i definately do not doubt if GOLEMs were armed with some more Crystal-based technology. Plus the undead Orr navy that controls the sea, you think they will throw axes at you? They are bound to have some sort of fire-arm technology.

What do you think bottle rockets, and Fireworks are made of O.o ? All you gotta do is shoot one from inside a pipe, and WOW! You just made a RPG / Grenade launcher / Rocket launcher/ etc.

Let me put it this way, Why the hel lwould you equip an elementalist with a gun O.o . NOT EVERYONE IN GW2 WILL BE AN ELEMENTALIST, does that breech your skull. (Now look what you've done, i've resorted to caps to try to break through the stupidity).

Guns would be for a whole NEW class, or simply accessable by npc's only.
Why do we use swords, and bows in a world of magic? Does not Flare, as you put it, beat a gun? Because a gun certaintly beats a bow.
So Flare > Gun > Bow ? Umm we already have bows in gw, so that defeats your arguement.

And I'm pretty sure Meteor would 1-hit kill any Wammo.
