Guild Wars 2 Design a Weapon 2017 contest greatsword

After collecting well over 900 player-created designs, Guild Wars 2 developers have now narrowed down the 2017 Design-a-Weapon Contest to a mere 20 entries. You can head on over here to vote for your favorite concept, the three most popular of which will be making it in-game as fully fledged weapons!

Each person can only vote once and pick exactly one weapon, so think carefully before you press that submit button. Speaking of which, the poll will end on November 10th at 9am PDT, after which the developers will start working on bringing the most popular weapons to life... well, virtual life anyway. This is going to be a lengthy process, however, so be prepared to wait for a couple of months before they actually make it in-game.

There really isn't much else to say, so allow me to leave you with a couple of my favorite designs. Oh, and if you're wondering, I voted for the greatsword pictured above because that thing looks like a perfect Mesmer weapon. Anyway, enjoy the artwork!
