Unarmed fighting anyone?

Any front line folks curious/hoping there will be an option to fight without a weapon? I've always enjoying a martial arts type/Fist only archetype in the many RPGs i play.

I would LOVE to be a tank slamming folks left and right and punching my way to glory when this game comes out!

tarven brawls anyone? I think it might be a feature of the tavern to have a tavern brawl...keep mentioning it, its a dream everyones had about every tavern included in an MMO since ever. THE tavern brawl experience is one only really found in D&D and it needs to be worked on cleverly for it to translate well into an mmo... I pray we get one well done.

I’d love if they allowed PvP in taverns but did not allow weapons or spells. Except you can pick up bottles or chairs to use as weapons.

You have to be a Dwarf though to start one. The item to start it is a vodka bottle and you have to break it over someone's head. xD

I’m in favor of picking up a dwarf and using it as a weapon in a bar brawl. Swing ‘em by the beard!

It would be a cool in-game feature to have bare-knuckle duels in the pubs. Even cooler if folks could bet on the fights.

You hear that @StevenSharif!? You're fans want Fantasy Fight Club! With Dwarves used as weapons and bets all around! rofl

All kidding aside, Intrepid might make this happen being that they are just that awesome.

They would definitely need to add fist weapons of some sort, but could be awesome. Best way to implement this is to just add it as a skin for another weapon type, like sword or something.

I was thinking dual daggers actually, the animations wouldn’t be that far off and they already would be very close range for hit detection. And we know those are in game.

Same same. Kung Fu with just shield. Saw it in a mobile MMO and I immediately fell in love with the idea and couldn't get it out of my mind. Which game did you see this from?

In the game I've played, the class uses aura or spiritual energy to form large yellow flying palm hands* to do AoE damage, I was excited to explore more about the class, but now that's all I remember.

It doesn’t feel right for this game. They’re trying to stick pretty close to the western fantasy genre and away from Wuxia stuff.

Not that I hate that kind of thing; I played a rogue in WoW for years with fist weapons (Combat spec) and role-played him as a martial arts monk. That was years before MoP added actual monks. It just doesn’t seem to fit in AoC though.

Is dnd not considered western? Monks are a staple there and most of the classes here are essentially "named" if not themed around a lot of the classes present in DND. Everquest didn't feel particularly "asian" in design or focus, and had monks. Just a thought.

Dnd can be western, but the monk class is not, the only monks who fight barefist are asian.

Similar to this model was UO - which was entirely skill based, and had no classes or levels - but for instance as a mage if you wanted to be incredibly tanky(the build I went with for mine), you would pick up parry - which gave you the ability to block while using a shield, and wrestling, which also allowed you to block - and at high enough skill levels paralyze or disarm people on a cooldown. So you would essentially have two avoidance abilities, and delay tactics to carve out windows to cast spells. Was pretty solid, but if I ever saw anyone with a kryss I'd just run the hell away - because you could back to back "ignore armor" with a kryss, and I'd get two shot if both hits landed lol

hurray for necro-fencers.

I would like unarmed combat, but being completely without a weapon seems pointless though.

Im all for fist weapons like gauntlets, knuckles, Katar or claws though for some punchy action.

Unarmed? How will you fight with no arms.

Arkethos

I like the concept of some form of weaponless martial combat, especially if there will be grappling type moves or crowd-control options against humanoid type targets. This might change up the loot-hunt for a player slightly, but it reminds me somewhat of the Monk from FFXI fighting w/ fists (and occasional kicks). This might be a neat path for an infiltrator/stealth type assassin or a brawler in weapon-free arena fights.

I mean there are other non eastern martial arts. It would be incredible to see a wrestling/boxing/ kickboxing/savat class seated in a western animation style.real wrestlers can break spines if they arent careful, not to mention the origination if the sport was to do just that and more, and its fast as hell. And dont get me started on boxing champs, the flow and combos my god. They dont need magic. Also literally every culture has a specific unarmed fighting style. You could easily contruct a class around western unarmed Fighting. Call them brawlers to detract from the eastern niche. And it makes sense, almost every culture has cultivated one ( not famous ornpopular) but still a fighting style. But an ENTIRE PLANET with MULTIPLE RACES just skipped hand to hand combat. I dont think so.

So yes. Im a loud yes.

Since AOC design has some "visual elements" in arabian and "tropical" styles - there is no problem with exotic weapon(fist also).
+ fist weapon
+ matrial artist style character
