Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

(Discussion)

I would like to be able to design the skin of my "uber elite" weapon. Spore got me thinking of being able to create 3D models. Probably a weapon creator based on Spore is not going to fly, but at least have a given number of choices for each weapon. Pretty much to be able to create your weapon as you create your avatar, and maybe have a code system for them as the builds have.

But this idea would need a large scale of choices to choose from. Instead of using the same idea as character design with pre-made models glued together, something more interactive with more choices of colour, shape, and depth. Possibly a molding ability with your cursor to design the shape of your weapon.

This may also become something more coveted if integrated as a reward for completing the game, finishing all the elite missions, or fulfilling multiple title tracks etc, to unlock special shapes, accessories, colour choices, etc.


Why this is a good idea
  •  Reason to be proud of "your" creation, and of course, to show off.
  •  It has be done before so it is possible, also, is a good idea.
  • It would be a really cool idea for the end game weapon
Why it may not work out
  •  Far more complex than getting a "green" weapon.
  •  People would be carrying banana guns or other stupid things,which ANet may not like (could easily be fixed by limited customization such as changing the handle/grip/blade on a sword)
  • It could be difficult to use such a mechanism depending on how much developers balance between customization and ease-of-use.
