Either way I don't want to see farmers have anything more over regular players. You already have 15k armor to flaunt your money isn't this just another ploy so you can feel special?

Yes I'm poor.

GW got detailed armors and weapons too, but only on the main character. All surrounding one's are a level lower. It is made to reduce the cp usage (althou factons seems to bring it up).
Some people talk about gw's gfx are lacking just because they are so used to them, every difference make them feel so. Ask a hardcore lineage player and he will probably say "Gee this GW game got some pretty cool armors, I wish we had some too"

If they started making this game's appearance based on what things actually looked like in the Dark Ages, people would gouge their eyes out. Armor, for example, looked completely rediculous. It was a stupid looking chainmail suit with a chainmail hood and dopey cloth tabards. And there isn't a single weapon in this game that looks as plain as swords did back then.

This isn't a game based on realism, it's a fantasy game.

i didnt want to haft say this but every other Freaking Rpg is influenced by Asian theme it has all that kinda crap, you name it i hate it there for i like the way thing's are in GW since it's not as much BS as in those Asian Rpg games where you have a sword that's f-ing 6Meter's long hammer's that's big as a freaking Car ooo yeah that sure is cool if you are 12years old and watch Dragonball-z....
Does GW hafto be like Lineage, finaly fantasy, is it so wrong for it to be the way it is?


I do agree on more Artistic weapon's but the size is Good enough...

As long as the game doesn't start showing silly anime looking weapons I'll be happy.

Better skins, more detail, higher rez textures are needed. Bigger goofy looking weapons that are twice the size of the player... no thanks.

Stylish, refined weapons: yes.
Huge weapons? No.
If you want those, go play FF7 or something... or WoW where your shoulderpads stick out half a metre above your head most of the time and your sword is 3 times your length

Of course all of the weapons shouldn't be really big, but I don't see what the problem is with adding a few.
Besides, most people that play this watch anime, you guys are the minority. And the Devs will probably add stuff that the majority of players like. I Don't think this is asking to have every weapon really big, that'd be pretty bad.

Absolutely amazing. I would love something like a slightly smaller version of that for Zodiac daggers.

Once they add new designs there will still be a similar complaint to add more and more designs. There's no point.

But the shapes of swords are a bit dull with the traditional long knife look...

The sizes of weapons don't matter. I wish I could use this sword...

I would have to say that the one handed swords for warrior are already unrealistic, it would be difficult to wield some of those swords with 2 hands, and they are swinging it around (hundred blade my ass).

Compared to the one handed sword, the axes and hammers could stand to be alot bigger, axes don't require nearly as much finesse as swords, and if the warrior can swing a sword which is bigger than the exsisting hammers in one hand, why the hell are the hammers so small?, he is using 2 hands right?

I also agree that Casters could stand to have some more attractive weapons, just because they are all used the same doesn't mean they have to be wands and staffs, they could very well make an energy of hand which is shaped like a shield, and a wand which is shaped like a rapier. Warriors get everything from bastard swords to daggers in their sword lineup, and axes made out of elemental energy, and the casters get..... a pile of sticks.....

As for artistic weapons, perhaps weapons with art and inscriptions on them, it would have to be a reasonably large weapon in order to fit a visible piece of art, unless small stripes is what you call art, it would be nice if they had some nicer looking art on some of these weapons, and they are basicly need an alternative weapon for casters if they are going to do any kind of art for them.

I don't see Lineage people complaining that their weapons look dull.

By bigger I didn't mean huge weapons. I meant more unique looking, more menacing, more muscular.

Just copy from WoW for instance:





Infact, those were taken straight from WoW Guru website.
