Factions Weapons are too small

I was very disapointed to see what had happened to the Green End-Game weapons.

Their concept art looked so good, but the in-game models are so small, you can barely even make out any of the details. Same thing for the Kanaxai Axe. I was excited to learn I'd be able to wield the massive axe the the Kanaxai Aspects do, only to find out that the shiny-effects could barely even be noticed because of it's size. This really doesn't do such hard-earned weapons much justice.

I suggest making the weapons larger in future chapters. Is it realistic to wield a giant Mursaat Hammer? No, but it's much more fun to see a character wielding those Fellblades and Tribal Hammers.

Don't get me wrong, I like Phoenix Blades as much as the next, but let's give it a "long sword" size.

Agreed. I love the look of skins such as the phoenix blade. But unless I get one in a chest or drop. I'll never buy one. Skins for the shields seem fine though.

I was soooo dissapointed with the Katana... I was hoping for something bigger like oh I dunno... SEPHAROTHS SWORD... Now that would be something...

It's Gavel of the Nephilim, not Sledgehammer of the Nephilim. The size fits the name fine.

My main concern are for the shields ... most of them look stupidly small and while they have a pretty skin and model, their tiny size makes them look like useless toys that would break in one hit.

He's referring to Sephiroth, the main villain of Final Fantasy VII (If you haven't heard of this game, you obviously don't play any console RPGs) who wields a massive Katana named "Masamune".

the only satisfying weapon for a warrior in faction is gothic axe (not dual one), in terms of size...

I don't get why everything is so small either... are they trying to say asian are smaller and hence smaller weapon? If they are............

While on the other hand... most usable weapon in real life arent actually that big. But why ch1 weapon so much bigger in comparison?

No! Keep the dimensions of the weapons with a basis in reality.

I do not want to play some cartoony game. I enjoy the visuals of Guild Wars because they are very realistic.

Agree about the Fellblade. That's why when I found one - I immediately gave it to one of my guild mates.

Yes i agree things should be a little bigger, even if that means giving up a little proportions

yeah seems like almost every item is to small, even shields, merkis gaze, irridescent/bronze/diamond aegis, pheonix blades don't even fit female warriors

...except for kanaxai's edge, which seems to be a bit more substantial.

Guild Wars visuals are pretty far from realistic as it is, I don't see how some larger weapons will suddenly make it "cartoony".

A lot of the weapons in GW are not up to scale. And Guild Wars is fantasy regardless of anyone protesting.

If its within the art style of the game, I don't care how big it is. But I do care that some weapons are too small to enjoy visually.

yeah seriously, i agree 100%. The weapons from monster hunter on psp and ps2 are HOT, even though it isnt realistic to wield a sword that is 7 feet tall and have it weight like 100 pounds, it sure looks flipin awesome. Kinda like cloud's sword. Anet, you gotta make weapons bigger.

Someone could send a "Weapon Enlargement" spam to A.net.

Tire of packing small dinky weapons? Want a longer, bigger, wider, sword that would impress the ladies? Want people to gasp at your foot-long Hammer, and wonder "How do you walk with that thing?" ?

I hate having all that strength and then use toothpicks... It's just a matter of stretching the skin while keeping the hilt reasonable. But still... they are magical weapons (swords and such stuff too) so I don't see it a prob having them inflated.

I think the swords should be enlarged. When I first saw a Kantana in game, I thought it looked like some bent minature umbrella. I think the weapons anrnt scaled properly, as a Xanxais axe would scale perfectly to a female monk toon on smallest size, but looks ridiculously minute on a large warrior male toon.

Fellblade FTW!

For fantasy computer/console games, warrior's weapon should be bigger just for visual. Some Factions weapon are too small: Kanaxai's Axe, Dragoncrest Axe, Phoenix Blade, Vertebreaker etc etc.
