2 weapons per year, let’s go!

Since new weapons change the PVP dynamics quite significantly, I doubt that your request for more than one weapon to be released, at the same time, will be granted.
Personally, I disagree with your request, as having more than one weapon will just flood the forums even more with nuisance complaint posts, which is something we could all do without!

There is nothing, absolutely nothing they could do to stem the tide of constant complaining on the forums. People come here specifically to complain and they will find a reason no matter what.
I agree with you, it is a sad state these days. The constructive feedback posts are drowned in the deluge of derogative duplicitous detritus. 
Although AGS could just close/unlist the nuisance posts, IMO.

I’m with Rylad on this one.
Adding a new weapon is a lot to balance.
Adding a new weapon to a game where you can pair it with another weapon makes a long list of things that can go wrong. More so if the split is similar to GSword where it has two primary stats.
Doubling that with two weapons…too tall of an order.

Two at once would def be a bad idea. But I think 1 every 6 months should reasonable.
I’d rather see the current weapons get more attention though. Some of them would be so much more interesting/fun if half the skills and their perks weren’t completely dead.
My favorite example is the blunderbuss mortar charge skill. That skill should be a monster in pve where you have a trash pack clumped up around a tank… you are firing mortars into a crowd, and yet they have it tuned so it does less aoe damage than a melee weapon doing basic attacks. Dead skill. There are so many like this.

Maybe LoL’s release schedule of champions
spoiled me, but I think getting more than two weapons out should be a priority. Would personally like one a quarter but three should be the real par, at least until all criteria is filled to include:
-
Ranged/Ammunition Focus Weapon
-
Melee Focus Weapon (pair with Shield)
-
Lightning Damage Weapon
-
Arcane Damage Weapon
-
Daggers/Dual Wielding
Once the dynamics above are implemented, I think then they could slow down on dishing them out. There are just not enough archetypes to really say “no more” yet (especially not with Focus only having two weapons…).

I know that more weapons might also mean more balance issues, but damn a single new weapon in an entire year sounds pretty underwhelming.

Hire more combat team if the demand is high enough.
I really enjoy new worlds weapons feel compared to other games of the genre. More of them is better!

You forgot a Nature Damage Weapon, as the Life Staff does not count as one, in my opinion.

They might be able to with the new Season Pass™.
Ignore that then. It impacts the game for those who play it. The GS has been in play for months now and everyone knows it’s way too powerful. It has impacted the game for us.
Who cares about forums? Releasing more than one new weapon at once isn’t going to make this better. At any rate, the OP doesn’t seem to really take into consideration just how much work one new weapon requires. Think about how many points of the game a weapon touches. I’d rather get one then another one than wait twice the time for two.
Unless it TWF Khopeshes I am not interested.
they already announced the next weapon will be a FOC based healing/support weapon
Yeah 1 weapon this year is a joke. And I think most people want to see daggers. They need more variety right now that’s for sure. They need a solo dex scaling weapon, focus weapon, and another pure mage weapon. Daggers will bring a lot of players back and they honestly should have maybe dropped with this ptr to hold us over.

They need to pump out a few non dps focused weapons to make tanking and heaing not dreadful then can go back to releasing weapons at a slower rate. non dps should be their priority at this point (speaking as a pure dps player)

Sure as soon as they realize daggers they can drop all non Dps weapons and I wouldn’t care
when they say this?
Agreed, we need new weapons 1 every 6 months is fair. Dual daggers and Mace and Shield make a ton of sense. Both are typical MMO weapons Assassin and Paladin classes that should be implemented.
They should soon launch a Strength and Focus weapon, for the tank and healer roles, as they have been abandoned for a long time.
Like a Cleric Mace with lightning damage and healing in two different builds.
