Obviously, NCSoft should sue NCSoft.

What about the Destroyer Weapons?

That's not all. I hear GW uses human avatars, just like Lineage 2. What a blatant ripoff!

The only question is, WHAT CAME FIRST! The Lineage or the guild wars?

That's odd... too specific a model to say it's not a copy.
Celestial_Kitsune
The swords do look quite similar. I wonder who the artists are.

Nice find Kitsune =)

It's probably just a nod to/easter egg for Lineage 2 players (hey I got that sword! It cost me 100 mil Adena! Or whatever..). Would indeed be nice to see more cameo's like this.
(Put Rurik/Glint/Kuunavang/Shiro in Aion!)
Btw, Aion looks entirely awesome...

Wow, its almost copy paste.....

The one in the middle is a gilded edge and the opposite side of the charr blade a legde sword, no?

awesome i hope gw uses lineage armor next cuz tbh the armor in that game is better.
jimmyboveto
Yeah, would be cool to see other things like this. Guild wars has great art, no doubt about that, but L2 has some of the best looking weps imo. If we could get a dragonslayer (look at weapons part on library in their site) that is the same size as it is in L2...

Lineage is an NCSoft game. It is not surprising that they have shared resources somewhat.

They took a good thing, copied it, and then ruined it

The L2 art is much older then the Charr sword. That concept art is from the L2 launch.
I don't believe the "Charr Sword" is currently in L2 (they don't have it in the weapon list on their site), though I have some vague memories that it used to be one of the higher end 2h swords, back when that middle red sword was the only S grade weapon, and had no drop points. Disclaimer: haven't played L2 in a looong time.
Umm...not really? They may have the same general shape as the weapons your talking about, but there's only so many shapes a weapon can have and still be an axe/hammer/sword/what-have-you. The Charr sword is the same right down to the pattern of the lines on the blade.

Yo, same company. I'd expect copies.
Mark Nevermiss
Only the daggers from the concept art image above actually made into the Lineage 2 game. None of the swords did.
If that sword had made it into Lineage 2 it would have been a 2 handed sword by the way.

Wtb The middle sword in GW tbh

Nooo!!! Do not call their attention to this. Before you know it, they will do things like the enchanting of swords for multipliers, the augmenting of weapons for bonuses. (nothing better than a paralyze augment on a weapon)
On a side note, L2 is really, really fun. Not that I have ever played it on an official server. (wink wink knudge knudge say-no-more say-no-more)

The gold dagger kind of looks like the dagger of time from PoP: Sot.
But man that orange/red(whatever it is) sword looks sweet.

love to have these for my paragon, hrmz or maybe a new class that uses a staff not for casting but for fightning, short and long ones, joint ones
Sleeper Service
the middle one with the addition of a little "magma" texturing would have made an excellent Destroyer sword imo....

they are exactly the same ^.~
Solas
well how many things can you do with a sword, i'd say some were copied but if you look at other games you'll also find some similarities i'd assume.
MoriaOrc
Found an in-game of that sword, guess it was the old model for the Dragon Slayer (A Grade 2h sword) back in C1.

I think it's obvious the Charr sword is based off the same concept art, and as a result a lot of people are seeing similarites that are more likely the result of weapons of the same type (hammers, axes, swords) having certain general shapes that recur across most games with more then a few different designs.

I want something similar to glass weapons from Morrowind. esp daggers for my sin.
