(Discussion)

• Oldstyle flint-lock guns (mabey).
• Attributes could include: Alchemy (potions and advanced gunpowders... like preperations/ single powerful attacks), craftsmanship (building clockwork minions/special bullets and mabey support skills), Rifles/pistols/whatever
• Armor could have specialm goggles/scopes for headgear.
• Weapons could include:

Single shot pistols/revolvers

close-mid range, moderately accurate, low power, fery fast

Rifles

long range only, any closer mabey used as a club, (could have a bladed stock/ bayonette), very accurate, high power, slow

Cannons

extreme long range only (or mabey becomes grenades/mines at close range), NOT accurate, VERY high poer, extremely slow, area effect

Chemical thrower

mid range (perhaps mid range version of cannon?) Not acurate, Very high power, extremely slow, area effect, could throw fire/ice/stonoes/electricity/etc.

~ Why this is a good idea ~

•   If GW2 is over 200 years in the future... and in GW1 they already had cannons (eg: on the siege turtes) why not have guns???
•   It would mix up the basis for profesions physical, magic.... now more scientific!
•   With a wider playable race basis... more professions are needed, a gunslinger reflects the dwarven/human/asuran need to create.
•   An Asura wielding a flamethrower would be hillarious!

~ Why it may not work out ~

•   It might seem unbalanced.
•   Though unlikely, it might not work with whatever setting GW2 has, even if it is in the future of GW1.
•   Graphic intensive animations withe the guns/explosions might run slow... but probably wont be a real issue.
• This isn't Call of Duty... its Guild Wars... FANTASY not REALITY. Guns would ruin it. It would be unorigional.
• I agree with the above opinion, guns would be reason for me to stop playing Guild Wars. Please stop thinking of so many STUPID ideas people! Think something through before adding it on here, else we might end up with a game most of us won't even like. And what's that you suggesting an Asura with a flamethrower would be hilarious!? I'm beginning to wonder if you're even worth owning Guild Wars, let alone play it. Anyway, I'm going to stop now, before my opinion changes into merciless trolling. For the last time people: SCIENCE AND MODERN WAYS OF DESTRUCTION DO NOT BELONG IN GUILD WARS!! Thank you!
