Weapons.

[Cleric]

Wasn't sure where to put this.

It's probably too early for you all to tell us about the many weapons there will be, but I would like to list a few to help out as well as ask about fist weapons/bare-handed.

Back wehn I played the FF series games, most of my custom characters were monks, some type of barehanded fighter, or a samurai class. I know there won't be classes, but I was curious and hopeful the game was going to include melee weapons such as knuckle spikes or some sort of Katana/Daito.

Just a random list of melee weapons I have come across studying a small small amount of Martial arts:

Edit(I can get pictures if need be. All of them are in my Journal.)

[hanstin]

Gief pictures kk

[magicbat]

Kwl pics. i also wonder what kinda weps we will recive. I think that humans will probaly have sorta plasma guns, energy swords and the like. Demons will ahve dirty great axes and old-school miniguns and angles will have longbows and shiny things. Thats my guess

[Ziegler]

I dont think we really need pics of oriental weapons.....all you have to say...
I would like for us to have the full gambit of oriental weapons cause ninjas>pirates....


I want to see the BFG9000 and a chainsaw and maybe a "Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You *got* that? "

[a chewy rock]

You like your shotgun? Anyway, I'm pretty sure the BFG is from Doom so it oculdn't be used.... And maybe a sword with a chainsaw blade that is a human made weapon but not an actual chainsaw. I think that would be considered "primitive" for the type of people we're dealing with.

[Ziegler]

The BFG9000 and the chainsaw both are from Doom....The shotgun is from Army of Darkness and was meant as comic relief......for the older people.

[a chewy rock]

Well made up guns and already invented YARD TOOLS are a lot different. Chainsaws should be able to be put in any game without the fault of "stealing" anyone's idea.

Hey why do we gotta be old to get that joke?

Dammit....

[TheSeraphimsFire]

why dont they pull a warhammer 40,000 and make a chainsaw sword lol

[Rhiannon]

I think weapons should be a creation of their own. Maybe take some ideas from the samurai/knight and combine them together to make a masterpiece. Should really just have the Kaos feel though ;]

[a chewy rock]

I'm pretty sure that a sword with a chainsaw as the blade would cause some Kaos. But I also think it'd be nice to see a lot of original stuff, but then again you have to have some of the same generic weapons. Little daggers, Spiked Maces, and things like that.

[jeroenverloop]

i think thiannon is right you shouldnt get ideas from the internet but from your own mind.

Like what weapon would youthink of if you talk about the demon class.

And thats what i would make only in my own creation.

for thedemon class i would make some kind of FireWhip with special magical abilities

[GaretJax]

Well, I think we should have the 'standard' weapons out in the environment, but it sounds like they are designing it so you can make your own weapons. Having a little freedom with the design of weapons would be pretty sweet. You could use a blood potion for coloring on the blade, or put 'shiny' liquid on it for it to glow. Or for those people who want to be human(how dull), you can throw some rust on there and try to pull of a Conan the Barbarian look. But designing the hilt and possibly having the ability to add curves/extra blades, I think it would all be quite intense...

G'day everyone.

First Post (hopefully first post from Down Under too.)

Please allow me to humbly add my opinion.

*ahem*
There seems to me that the main difference in any item, be it weapons armour or trinkets in any game comes down to 2 main catergories dropped or crafted.

This being said could you actually design the look of your armour while you create it?

For example.
You have chosen to be an armoursmith creating heavy armour as your specialty, you start to build a chestpiece, but instead of a loading bar *sigh* you actually get a creation screen where you can cycle through some various options, such as general colour, Pauldrons, added spikes (or filigree) and so forth.

Higer level items have more options (and bigger) , this also allows the same weapon to look different whether it be a random drop or made in a town.

The number of different combinations would be limited but you would have a degree of differnece and personal choice.

DING!

[amz181]

WICKED!!!
I absolutely love this, i hate it when you cant personalise your character and you look the same as everyone else, but with this, W00t!!!!!!! man this game is sounding supercallafragilisticexpialadocious!!!

[Mister Matt]

Perhaps I'm a bit slow, but does "DING" mean that's pretty close to what's going into the game?

[Moloch]

Does "DING" mean that's pretty close to what's going into the game?

"Ding" = levelling. From the noise made when you levelled in EQ. Old school MMO'ers still often say "Ding" in chat or on Vent when they level. "Ding 50" for example.

In this context, you're right :) Damon's response confirmes that crafting includes a mechanism to customize item appearance to some extent - at this stage anyways ;)

[Spartan]

Thats sounds like the SPORE engine, that I posted on a few months ago. Will the same interface be present for weapons? And for furniture/character improvement items (CII's = jewelry, misc clothes, decorations, tattoes,etc)

[Tyr]

As long as they put some heavy warhammers and lethal two-handed axes into the game, I'll go berserk.

[amz181]

just give me over sized weapons and ill be happy

[Spartan]

I took Kendo when I was younger, so I am 100% against using any melee weapon other than a katana style sword, may it be wood or anything else.

But I do love a nice sniper rifle.

I hope to be able to fight with both and not be subject to a single tier of weapons.

Blade stabby thing + gun shooty thing = bayonet?
I'm not sure why, but what if we taped/glued/magically stuck a katana to a sniper rifle?

[Rauko]

Well then you'd have a gun-rifle, which Final Fantasy proved to not really be all that great...

I'm all for appropriately sized weapons. I'll go for two wicked looking swords that are katana sized but with well designed hilts and jagged blades over an axe with a head the size of my body any day.

[reddo]

so long as ranged isn't auto-shoot/auto-aim I'm happy. I like the challenge of using my own accuracy rather than a system's.

[Spartan]

Hey. Katana's are my favorite melee weapon. Sniper Rifles are my favorite long range weapon.

Snipers are the only people that truelly have to decide on when to kill someone. It is a very tense/nerve-wrecking experience. You sometimes wait for hours to decide if your target should: finish eating lunch; finish walking; talking; sleeping; reading; or finish in the toilet. You get to play as the grim reaper for real, and its a lot to be asked to do. Good thing I let my cousin's do that, I would much rather have somebody be able to respawn. Go Games!!!!

[Damon]

Katana-sniper rifle? Sign me up!

Maybe a "Sniper Bow" instead of flaming arrows use flaming katana's lol

[Damon]

Thats a big YES. =)

[Damon]

SniperBow? Yes its already in. =)

[Rauko]

SniperBow? Yes its already in. =)

Oooh, like the one in Turok: Evolution? Definitely one of my favorite weapons in that game

[a chewy rock]

Yes, that bow in Turok was my favorite weapon. Also, bows are just cool.

[reddo]

Remember Oblivion's style of shooting with a bow? It would be just epic if Kaos war had this too, or any MMO for that matter. Problem with that would be rate of fire and power of any given shot.

[a chewy rock]

Oblivion combat is fun.

[Spartan]

Kaos War Combat is better. lol, even though we have no idea how it works. lol.

[coy13]

Will the game include giant two-handed swords? also will you be able to mix and match parts of guns like the upcoming game Borderlands?

Big over sized swords are cool... the aweseomer you are ties to the bigger sword you have or shoulder pads if you play WoW.

[a chewy rock]

Yep, shoulder pads tell everything about you in WoW.
