Weapons, we can dream goddamnit!

I am just hoping they stick with the more realistic look for weapons/armor and stay away from the heavy fantasy themed items. Id prefer closer to The Witcher 3 style then any anime themed weapons we see in many of those crappy imports.

So you mean to tell me that 3 inch thick swordblades ain't realistic? This is news to me. (But ya realistic all the way)

Steven did hint he will stay away from oversized weapons <rumages around for the post>

Yes! I would love to see a really good Dual-Wielding system.


[quote quote=3416]4: Wands! Alot of MMOs have staffs. Why not running around with a Wand and a book?[/quote]

I've been looking for something like this in an MMO for years, this would be totally awesome!

Also, as others have said, I would really like to see bows of various kinds. Most MMO's I've played have a very basic bow design and standard <em>shooting ability/moves?</em> (sorry, my words have deserted me atm ) like double-shot, sniper, or something like that. I would love to see different kinds of bows, and also different kinds of arrows, i.e flaming, ice, explosive, poison, etc. This could also be a thing for crafting/alchemy, being able to make different kinds of arrows.

One thing i would really enjoy would be some agile or light spear weapons.

MINE ISSSSS;

#1: Scythe
#2: Spear
#3: Mace
#4: Scythe
#5: Scythe

(totally didn't put scythe 3 times intentionally)

Every one of these things is a must have!!! MUST HAVE!

I really want to have options for spears. Both 2h but more so a 1h spear and shield combo.

And I'd really rather NOT have scythes. Sorry Rimirg, they are horrible as weapons (from a realistic standpoint). But hey, if they add them for a Necromancer type as an arcane focus, go for it. ;)

Still waiting for a game to execute the complex mechanics of the flail, the ol ball n chain

I'd just like useable, non-cartoon looking staffs for warrior/monk types.

Punching dagger (because who doesn't want to see a rogue come out of stealth with a superman punch?)

Polearms

Double-bladed swords

I am all about keeping it themed . I mean fantasy weapons great.. who doesn't want a flaming longsword or shield with a skull on it ?
Animae weapons are just theme killing crap imo

edit: side note it would also be cool if you weapons / armor could tell a story. Like a dragon claw staff. To show you killed something other then your credit card to acquire it.

1. Triskele and higher (Sivir's quadskele from league of legends which can double as a shield.)

2. Ghostblades and such.

3. Animated use of staffs, books and spell-blades in magical casting (like Rift).

The rest of the stuff looks great too! I hope they let us Etch latin or elvish onto swords and things when we make them!

<strong>Cleric / Bard Weapons</strong>

1) Spine with the skull attached. I hold it by the tail bone and my magic flows through the eye sockets. It's pliable (moves like a spine).

2) Substantial gnarly branch from a really ancient gnarly tree.

3) No weapon - spells visibly pulse through my forearms and release through my hands or manifest from my chest and come out of my eyes or mouth. (not my nose... cuz that would be just... no).

4) Beautiful translucent shroud or veil, that I can take off and whip around. Enemies get tangled in it.

5) Magic Quill, it writes in the air and the words heal (or attack).

Crossbow. *drops mic*

Personally:

-Spellblades
The ability to basically use spells to augment your attacks just seems awesome
-Hookshot
Zelda fans will get it :D
-Wrist blade
Because surprise attacking someone Assassin's Creed style always feels amazing
