New Weapon type idea!
Thu, 07/21/2011 - 22:40
My friends at school all use Wolver armour, but I took a liking to Chromalisk gear. They started saying how stupid you look and how you hold your sword. "You should be able to use the claws," my friend (Nightfuryblaze) said. And then it hit me for a new weapon type: GOLVES!
Gloves would make swords and shields unequippable, but would act as BOTH! You'd be able to attack and guard with them, but they'd have less defences than a shield. The first idea for Gloves I had was Chroma gloves. They'd be like the ones on a Chroma Suit, except with longer claws. Most Gloves would be used to attack with by punching, but some like the Chroma Gloves would make you slash or jab or something. Gloves would have metre things for Attack Power and Defence.
If enough people agree with me, I'll E-Mail Three Rings and tell them about my idea.

They gotta might be double
They gotta might be double the cost to craft? idk. Put it in suggestions if people like the idea, (I kinda do, useful, yet another requirement? idk), put it in suggestions?

Sounds good but.
This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't using your own weapon to block be kind of weird in this game? Such as when a shield breaks, it loses all protection until it recharges. So if your weapon is your shield, what happens when your guard is broken?

Got that covered, Vescrit!
When your guard breaks, it means you won't be able to guard again until it recharges, but you can still attack.

Great idea
I thin new weapons especially like the one you have suggested would be great, but OOO has to balance this weapon type as well and they are still having trouble doing that.

@mosonofbo... Yes! Bard Class FTW. Hmm, it just occurred to me... alpha wolvers are, in fact, bards.

Think about it this way.
Think about it this way. Would you bring a pair of gloves to kill monsters rather than a sword and shield?

I would!
If it has humungous claws or hits like a truck, yes.

Gloves
I think it should have a bit more dmg and seed and be costly like 10k crowns at least

Gloves, or basically fist
Gloves, or basically fist weapons would disrupt the current balance of the game. If your shield is decreased when attacking, you could be a sitting duck. If the shield isn't decreased or decreased slightly, it is an unfair advantage since you are dual wielding. If you are talking about two hits at half the damage which will equal one hit from a sword, then you'll still lose out since it is essentially the same thing but with little or no shield.
I would like to see some axes, maces, war hammers, clubs, etc. They would be the same mechanics of the swords but would add variety. I know there are a few of these, but you cannot upgrade them much if any.
Also a shotgun might be different, a crossbow, and/or a sniper rifle would be interesting. Basically the more powerful the less range and the slower the reload. So a shotgun would be one strong shot close up, a sniper rifle would be a bunch of long range shots that are weak.
It would be more difficult than you would think to add new classes of weapons, so right now we are stuck with looks in difference.
One thing I would like to see is the ability to change the colors of the armor, like the pink in the volcanic plate shield, or the shield overall.
They gotta might be double the cost to craft? idk. Put it in suggestions if people like the idea, (I kinda do, useful, yet another requirement? idk), put it in suggestions?
