I'm all about greatswords but a weapon i like that we don't see a lot of is tonfa blades. I like the long blade along the arm look. Don't know if/how it would fit in this game but thought i would share.

I would like to see heavy shields that can perhaps be thrown at opponents :O

IMO, weapons in fantasy MMOs have fallen into a bit of a rut. Just "best in category" seems to be the default. There are lots of different types of longbows for different things. Lots of types of club/maces. Lots of polearm types. Many different situations such as how much room you have to operate in and not mechanics for greatsword and close quarters or using bows while standing right face-to-face against an opponent with a fast melee weapon. There were reasons that a longbowman always had a secondary weapon with him. <---bow was useless in an up close encounter...

Computers are great for fast computations. Their potential for calculating more complex systems is undervalued in games sometimes. Or maybe, like most things, such detail doesn't cover the cost of bang-for-buck.

Bucklers and small shield types for Rogue/Tank or other Classes with Tank as the secondary archetype.

Since weapons are not Class-locked, everything is posible (including Notch idea xD)

I would love to see two swords that gives off a darkness aura on one and on the other a light aura. Blades of twilight would be a cool name.

ArchivedUser

Confident all the usual weapons will be available.

But out of interest is would like to see the less common,

Slings, Flails and Boomerangs

ArchivedUser

A few that have been stated before: Polearms(of all types), flails, spears etc.

The chain-linked Kama would be cool but probably an issue... Along with the bladed whip. viciousness in its purest form that one lol.
A sword-spear would be pretty cool to see it was a rather rare weapon in general. (think a greatsword connected to a shorter spear shaft)
Lances as well but I guess that's sorta covered by polearms.
Scythes, Hook swords(mostly cause they look cool maybe a bleed bonus to a blade like that?)
Some fantasy caster amps like MathiasCB said. Its kinda boring when all the casters have the same magic focus implements.

All forms of shields especially things like towers, spiked, and deflectors like bucklers. Not all shields are totally defensive you know. Getting hit in the face with a wall of steel or spikes isn't really a comfortable experience lol. I probably forgot some stuff but that's all for now.

I played wow for 11 years one of the blades I thought were really cool was called the

"The Phantom Blade"

First and foremost, epic string instruments for bard. Of course beautiful harps, but also maybe large gunqins, like you the minstrels use in King Fu Hustle(seriously worth looking up if you've never seen the particular fight scene). Also in the realm of bards, since they stated it will not just be a musical class but you can use dance I would love to see fans, and ribbons of some sort as a midrange weapon. Mid range weapons seriously lack in most games.

Others I would love to see are hook swords, rope darts, tomes, magical orbs, fist weapons, throwing darts/stars. I would love to see them incorporate as many different weapons as they possibly can, to promote as much diversity in the game as possible.

ArchivedUser

Um well i want to see all weapons of the time period in game.

Love the idea of special gloves for casters maybe add some trinkets or totems to fill the weapon slot as well.

Polearms are also great and would love to see them used for their purpose to keep enemies at a distance.

What i really want to see in this game is that all of our choices have benefits and consequences. everything from weapon choice to crafting should have many options each with their benefits and drawbacks.

Would love to see dual wielding with Sword/daggers and two axes or hammers and have each weapon have a strength against a certain type of armor. It would make carrying a couple weapons prudent because maybe that gargoyle is resistant to slicing but weak against impact.

Please IS give us choices and have faith that we are able to make them.

ArchivedUser

Let's all remember that we need to keep it Unique for the sake of the game, copying or imitating swords from other games will not make it cooler.
Maybe we should make a Doc and put everything with a base, example and definition of each weapon suggestion in there so that devs could see it and use it as a "community wishes" kind of stuff, so they can choose to add some of the suggested weapons plus the ones already planned from the devs.

ArchivedUser

Hook swords (dual wield)
Creative Mage implements like things they wear so the hands are free to do casting gestures
Thieves weapons like blow guns, throwing darts/knives, bolos

ArchivedUser

As stated previously stated, exotic instruments for bards, maybe a small harp.

Would also like to see a whip.

Great sword or 2 handed axe!

Katanas would
Be nice to see also flails/whips with real animations.

ArchivedUser

A unique katana would be nice to have, making a fighter turn into a swordman or something like that ^^.

ArchivedUser

Scythe
Great Axe
Great Sword
Great Katana
Chain-X (Chain-Whip, Chain-Scythe, Flail, Etc.)
Gunblade
Staff

I would love to see a weapon system where certain weapons (whether crafted or otherwise) would get stronger and attune to the person using them over time. Something to make it feel like your weapon is unique, and not just a copy that everyone has access too. Also, I would love to see spear/shield combo and scythes.

Bastard sword you could wield it 1 or 2 handed for extra damage.
Hand crossbow for rogues with poison add on
Tower shields for tanks
Flutes and pipes for summoners or bards
Bolo for ranger to help in capturing foes
Great Maul and two handed ax/sword for those incline to weild them
Spell staves and wands

ArchivedUser

Glaives!

... Or any kind of polearms really, lots of games miss them out as weapons. Ones that come with two blades on each side and you can twirl them about for some fancy animations would be pretty sick. Halberds/Poleaxes are also nice, and I think could fit into the narrative easily.

But for me personally usually play the tanking class so I'd actually like some variation in what you can use as your main and off hand. Seems like most games stick you with a gigantic shield and a shortsword. If I can get something like a rapier and a smaller shield - like some kind of buckler and look extremely classy instead I'd be thrilled.

Well you stated it all. I would also add some spears that could be slow medium ranged/fast melee weapon. I know going hybrid seems over the top but one can always dream :D

Fist wraps for monk, martial arts types.
Instruments for Bards

ArchivedUser

It would be awesome if per say the summoner could summon different weapons similar to The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (of course they would need a time limit).

ArchivedUser

@Atsukia I Agree was just sharing the pictures to kinda get the idea I like the "Phantom blade" because its a icy looking sword which cool because its not something or at least what I've seen in most mmo's and well the shield the shield is just BAD ass!! lol!!

Edit: I would like to see Gladiator type weapons in the game Same with armor as well

Also if you make a Doc let me know ill like to see it :P
