Yeah, didn't understand it also after proofreading^^.
But the Possibilities of Firearms is High, even after 10 years I could predict there would be already.
Adding 250 years can even turn the chances of such alot higher!

A sensible argument would be that an FPS with melee isn't really a first-person shooter

Well if you look at it that way. If you have a knife in hand you are playing an FP and when you switch to a gun it becomes an FPS becose the "S" stands for shooter....or maybe you are throwing your knives so this means you are playing an FPT!!

Just to say that the point here was not to debate the viability of guns in guild wars which in turn i think only refers to personnal preference. To my opinion i think guns are out.

But never the op mentionned guns...he said firearms and i already got them. I can recall back in the days when honing my ele skills, i set my arms on fire alot trying to get that perfect fireball (damn that was easy...got it fire arms)

Anyway for me guild wars is gunless (is that a word...if not...i own the patent!!). Star wars Galaxy needs guns and laser ones for that matter.

Different lore.....different weapons

Now come buy my weapon mods online in kamadan. I got free laser sights for everyone who buys 2 or more bows and i'll fit a grenade launcher on every staff bought at regular price

You'll also get free restraining bolts for you droid minipet

Do you guys even know what is a FPS?
FPS is a First Person Shooter Game.
But it would be nice if GW2 would have a 1st Person Mode for Sniping in GvG or so^^.
Like in Oblivion.

i lol'd
i've been playing FPS's since long time
don't tell me what an FPS is
seriously don't start

Gun rhymes with FUN! Yes, guns are fun. Replace old Longbow with a sniper rifle!

Ouchie · Feb 15, 2008, 05:46 PM // 17:46

So the shiny warrior runs up to a boss with his firey sword and thick armor and the boss laughs pulls out a gun and shoots the warrior in the head? Wow game over

Or perhaps we all get Wonder Woman Braclets to defend ourselves with?

Even tho I would like one barrett light fifty on my ranger...
NO GUNS PLZ KTNX.
(except maybe for monks...to relieve the pressure off them when they have 3+ warriors training them lol)

We already have guns and howitzers, we don't need any more. The only confusing part is that "guns" are currently called wands and staves and the howitzer is called a "siege devourer".

GW firearms (wands, staves) shoot magical balls of energy (with an infinite ammo supply), which beats the hell out of an eight shot clip.

Bryant Again · Feb 15, 2008, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Well, quite honestly I can't say guns would be terribly out of place at this point. Asurans do have some pretty intense technology. I guess I'm a little undecided on this one.

Malice Black · Feb 15, 2008, 06:15 PM // 18:15

More cries for GW to further copy P2P games.

Winterclaw · Feb 15, 2008, 06:28 PM // 18:28

I think I'd like to see some sort of gun in GW2. 250 years is a long time for some form of development to take place.

BlackSephir · Feb 15, 2008, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Can we keep fantasy as fantasy?
kthx
No nuclear devices in GW 3 either

Stockholm · Feb 15, 2008, 06:35 PM // 18:35

To OP.
GW is GW, GE is GE and Oblivion is Oblivion and they don't mix (copyright and such) and there is 1000+ old threads about firearms in GW (try search) and they where all nuked. (refreshing too see that the Mod's havent't nuked this one yet)

Guns in GW = No No

Dwarves created blackpowder. Dwarves will no longer exsist as a race in GW2. No Dwarves no blackpowder no guns. They took the secret with them.

They didn't even have cannons in GW.

They did have big bolt throwers though. Maybe we can have crossbows?

Probably unlikely considering how the Dwarves end up though.

The game succeeds due to addictiveness and wide popularity.

That doesn't make the inclusion of guns not retarded.

(I realize CoD4 etc let you draw your knife and slash instantly. I have mine bound to Mouse 4, so I can twitch my thumb and use it. A melee attack with a knife or punch for close quarters emergencies is not the same as running around with a ridiculous FF sword and no gun at all.)

Guns really just dont fit real well in the current story lines, if they did another chapter where the setting was something wild westish or something I guess somehow you could work it in, but really I dont see guns as a viable weapon in the current gw era

I would actually expect crossbows. More variety = more fun.

Guild Wars 3: Wild West... do not want... I like it because it doesn't involve guns and firearms, that is what FPS's are for, not MMORPGs.

Asuran technology is based on magic. Human development past the 1600's has no place in this game and never will.

/End.

Mabey you should read before trying to be smart?

Anyways, i think guns wouldnt fit in guild wars. I doubt they could be balenced properly and dont fit the setting of guild wars.
