New "Design a Weapon" contest coming

Saw in one of the recent Gaile Gray chat logs that ANet will be starting another "Design a Weapon" contest. I can't wait.

I am no artist and am always totally amazed by others artistic abilites and imaginations. I have a Dragoncrest Axe that I think is the most beautiful weapon I have ever seen.

Here is the link to the chat log. Looks like it is intended for January.

While i LOVe the designs from the contests (thank you Lasareth for designing my sword), i think Anet should get INPUT from the artists into the size of the weapon in relation to the character.

The previous contests ask for images of the weapon and nothing else.

The weapons look good on paper, but look like crap because its too small compared to the character holding it and you cant make any details out.

Look at the Vertebreaker. It looks great on paper. Not in the game.

So, Anet, please include "Size proportions" as part of the entry requirements.

I know I can totally come up with some kickass weapons this time. I so hope that one of mine is in the game. Oh and the winners should get their weapon with the stats of their choice on them as a prize. I think that would be cool.

the weapon should also be named after the persons character I think

if theres another one of these coming ill def have ago at it.

yeah the people who win should name em

Oh cool! i wanted to enter the last one but i never got round to it, im definately gonna enter this time.

I may enter.
Long as they dont make a idiotic decision like that rediculous 3 year old beaver drawing. >_>

Does that mean my Phallic Hammer has another chance?

omg omg omg!!!

it will be announced on official site right? Im entering HELL YEAH!

Will new weapons be just for NF or all of the chapters?

There are a lot of new things that I haven't been able to use since I only have Prophecies. But that will change soon.....

HOORAY HOLIDAY BONUS!!!!!

You will have to wait for the official announcement to find out the details. Last year only Prophecies was available for purchase. ANet used some of the designs in Prophecies and some showed up in Factions.

Just thought I would give the guru artists a headsup. You can find last year's rules on guildwars.com in the older news.

wh00t! I already got a weapon ready to go, this is awsome
