yes i searched first.
i know it seems extra peaceful to not have your weapons out when running around town, but since so much of this game is all about looks, you cant really show off half your leet gear to most of the other players, only if they group with you.
in a recent update, options were added to hide/show your cape and helmets,
my suggestion is that there are options to hide and show your own weapons as well as an option to not see other peoples weapons.
this should not be too hard to do and i for one would like to be able to see my weapons in town.
feedback?

to you the game would look the same, and we would not see your weapons.
edit: and you should all hop over to this thread so that we have all have a better chance of getting our dreams made reality http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=79673

I have no idea what the game engine is capable of, but it seems logical that if there's a swarm of characters on the screen and each of them is wielding/changing/etc a weapon, it is bound to put a much larger load on people's putters. Some folk already can't cope with around 100 characters on the screen, let alone all of those 100 wielding something. Also don't forget that data traffic would increase dramatically.
I'm honestly uncertain about this. If Anet says it's possible without huge performance losses and whatnot, then it's fine with me. Otherwise, keep it as it is.

i hadn't really thought of that, it is true we are talking about a significant increase of polygons PER PLAYER.
but offhand i would not think it would be much of a problem.
but thank you for bringing that up.

Options
Shown
Shown in hand
Showed strapped to a harness, swords/shileds on back, wands and off hands on thighs or hips(or underarm holsters like pistols), Staves become held as walkingsticks, bows strung over a shoulder or chest.
I approve.
I think the trendy /signed thing is over-rated. Too leet for me.

Some of the dances, for example, are a bit.......gay.
We've all seen the elain dance, and it was funny, but now it's old and annoying.
The rangers river dance could use replacement too, ugh.
A warrior with a could have a dance in relation to what weapon he has equipped(kinda like some crouching tiger stuff)
Just some easter egg ideas to toss around while we're at in town appearances.
OOh, being able to dye your hair, and underwear would be nice, for those uber custom freaks/change freaks like me.

lost me.
back on topic, i think this sort of thing is not really related to my original suggestion, and is a much broader request for "we want more stuff" which there is nothing wrong with, but there are already a million threads like that.
my request is very specific and i beleive very feasible.
as far as uniting the million threads, i made an attempt at that (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=79673) and got no feedback.

I think he's talking about a weapon demo or a kata.
That would be interesting....but considering you cant really kata a magic wand...its kinda...weird...
as for the original idea, i think it will lag a bit, but as long as you can turn it off, im

well i assume he's talking about the movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which i have seen at least a dozen times on dvd. however, the warriors in guild wars, not to mention their weapons, have so little in common with chinese martial arts it's laughable, and that's totaly not the point of the /dance emote.
if you dont believe me, next time you go to a party, try swinging an axe around instead of dancing. :P

Just some ideas for towning, didn't necessarily have to be martial arts style dancing, you could coreagraph them according to the fighting style, fenching, axe twirling/juggling, eh, whatever, i'm not the coreographer, just an idea man as a hobby.
Spellcasters could use wands/staves in the oriental style where long ribbions trail from the end, only it's sparkle type stuff according to element on wand/staff, not really a weapon kata, just a pretty dance.
Any ranger is a bit trickier though, how do you do something cool with a bow?
I think all that would be better than the Elain chicken dance and the river dance, and fit the world a bit better.
But yes, taking an axe into a nightclub would be a little wierd.
Eh, didn't mean to hijack thread, sorry. I saw weapons ant town, and ideas just hit me.
*edit response to below:
No biggie, I gotta work on my focus anyways, I rant....

i also have to appologize for being anal about staying focused on the thread topic, and in general pushing my ideas.

Agreed.
I doubt they have time to give us extra eye candy at the minute though but it's a good idea all the same.

yea good idea but anet should focus on trading system and also i t would be cool to look in other people inventories if they give promission, it would be alot easier to shop for the exact item our looking for.

Maybe instead of having weapons out you have them in shealths. Hammers,axes and bows are kept on back shealths. Swords on belt shealths.
Wands, scpeters kept on the belt and staffs kept out.
