How we hold our weapon should be change-able...

From the first time i opened the new character selection screen since latest expansion and saw my Blademaster do a twisting downward slash with the spear he was equipped with and then return to "ready" with the spear put against his shoulder, I thought it would be cool to have any toon that use a "two-handed" weapon like a pataka or spear or poleblade or poleaxe or polehammer to be able to hold the weapon as the player wants.

I for one like the idea of 3 stages of "holding" the weapons

1- "at rest" against their shoulder (not just for venos with pataka or female BMs anymore)

2- "at the ready" in two hands like the current is (barbs and male bms always hold this way)

3- "en garde" with character actually being engaged in combat

but this could also go beyond just two handed weapons by allowing dual axes or hammers or swords to be "slung" over the shoulder (like seekers), or assassins having daggers to the front or stowed on a "belt" - just brainstorming.

Basically, as we are allowed to customise our characters with all the modifications from skin color and body type to eye color and etc, I think it would be cool to have weapons holding and carriage be adjusted to fit our style of playing.

respectful thoughts appreciated and hope the devs/ gms take note of this suggestion.

    Could be interesting, though I'm quite partial to my just holding my mag sword it could be fun to at least have the option to do more things with them if you so choose.

    ...How would a psy put their weap to rest? f:stare

    Wahhhh I like this idea!!! I really do, but unfortunately it'll never happen, like so many other cool things mentioned on the forums that never happen :/.

    Can't even get simple bug fixes done, let alone add new content by themselves. "Coding? what's dat?"

    Everyone complains about this, and seems to forget: they aren't allowed to make changes, even if they were capable of it. PWI can't do **** except change text and mess around with the boutique.
