  • Regular blade. Skill over size. Too big and you're overcompensating for something else.
    Where there is light, there is shadow. I am the shadow without the light. The shadow of nothingness. The VoidShadow

    from the fighter image they posted a few months ago that looks like a stick the scaling needs to be bigger or just remove greatswords from the game entirely

    You’re asking for too much information. We don’t know and it’s impossible to speculate based on what they’ve given us. They have barely released any information about 4 of their classes (fighter included).

    ive seen the fighter concept n it was disappointing
  • desoquaddubdesoquaddub Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One
    i already have a good grasp on how the rest classes weapons are going to be the problem is if your going to call it a greatsword make it look like one or just call it a blade tbh

    What have you seen? A picture? A picture gave you enough information about a class in a MMORPG to disappoint you? Haha

    1. Does anyone have the picture? I dont really know what you are all talking about...
    2. You are also talking as if every class had this one specific weapon... Every class can use every weapon!
    3. It could always be the fact that it is a skill for a one handed sword, which empowers its attack.

    We already know how greatswords will look like for the most part: go to Apocalypse and find a Greatsword of Haste... It is a bit smaller then the typical "greatsword" from other mmorpgs, but that is because those other greatswords are not really greatswords, but rather sword sized clubs.
    The art stile for ashes of creation weapons is supposed to look at least a bit like a real weapon (ignoring the adornments).

    This is the picture Intrepid revealed a while ago:

    Or

    You can also just look up Ashes of Creation Fighter and it’ll come up.

    Okay, thanks!

    Now: that is totally a onehanded sword. The grip is not long enough to be a twohander. I think that he was mid animation into a twohanded overhead swing (a weaponskill most likely).
    Dont forget that Fighters dont rely on twohanded weapons. I imagine them like the D&D fighters. Extremely focused on straight up fighting all kinds of enemies with all weapons imaginable in melee or at range.

    What we want the Fighter warrior to do is to be able to cut through enemy lines, get to the support area of a raid perhaps and take out healers with some quick DPS burst damage. We want them to be masters of different weapons. We want them to be able to be versatile in whether or not they want to be a ranged fighter or melee one. It's going to be up to the player. – Steven Sharif

    I'm not sure how this thread exists.

    Did the OP assume the weapon shown in the concept art was the only weapon the fighter could use?

    I mean, if that was an assumption, maybe the OP should read about the game rather than just looking at pictures.

    There will be hundreds, if not thousands of weapons in Ashes.

    Even if the weapon in that picture has been labeled a greatsword (which is unlikely) there will be AT LEAST dozens of other greatsword models.

    So no, that weapon in that picture is by no means the only one that matters.

    you sound like a magic dps user

    you sound like a magic dps user
    Why?

    Because I am aware that there are multiple variants of each weapon type in literally every MMO?
    Pro tip; that isn't magic, it's brains.

    Okay i have to intervene now.
    1. The ONLY classes that we have really detailed information about are: Tank, Cleric, Ranger, Mage.
    Detailed in this context means, that we know rough skill descriptions and abilities from old streams. The other classes are only described in the simplest of gamedesign choices.
    2. There are only 21 different weapons that we currently know of. 1handed swords/axes/maces, 2handed swords/axes/maces, spears, lances, polearms, daggers, clubs, shields, staves, wands, zepters, orbs, spellbooks, crossbows, longbows, shortbows and potion throwers.
    3. Everyone knows that SPEARS AND POLEARMS are the best weapons!

    I was an original backer of the Kickstarter and very active on the original forums. (Original original forums, technically this is the third iteration.) The old-timers around here know me.

    You’re a troll making things up, who also has poor communication skills.

    I have nothing to prove to you. You’re as relevant as static on a radio.
