Okay.

So, I was thinking. With the idea of those darn black kats,

Why do I even bother?

Okay, pretend that this is an arcade boss.

Considering the amount of gates open, 4 inactive, and four active over a period of two days, each gate has only ONE boss Strata.

Reason is most likely to prevent grinding. Imaging doing a duantless delver while gaining over 20k. So then, where would you put the hypothetical Kat stratum? I have thought of something, not so original. using the system used for DMs, I thought of using a systematic rotation for each day.

Sooo.......

Imagine a 3 boss stratas for each tier. So each next rotation, there is a rotation for what boss appears where.

Each gate is created of a 2 days, so starting monday there is lets say, Vanaduke for t3.

Monday: Lord Vanaduke Stratum distortion. This is the most recent one.

Wednesday: Second variant is in the works..........

Tuesday: Second t3 stratum is now used.

Thursday: Third created.

wednesday: Third in rotation.

Friday: Vana is back in rotation.

This is just a example.

//dual wielding = double damage and no shield

this game is not maded to walk through the maps without the guard ability (guard cancel, guard charge, guard bump...)
even snarbolax you need to shield before lure him to the bell
or mitigate the damage while you are walking on hazard floors

even can be really powerful, and make you become kamikaze style

I have already suggested something about changing the shield/weapon (little less than you)
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/71470
but everyone who participated did not like to change the style

edit: i forget talk about the black kats...
but, if this things show in danger mission, no problem

(looks like you have tryed call attention on the title)//

edit2: the topic just become another...

forget i have say above =_=

I was going to write "Blah", but,

I can't be bothered.

Maybe later.

@Zeyez

Some people are more offensive than defensive, they can get Swiftstrike Buckler but that only increases speed. Dual wielding would increase damage but yes this has been suggested a buttload of times.

Juances

Then lets make a swiftstrike-like shield but with damage bonus (or a barbarous-like shield that works on guns/bombs).
Dual wield adds too much power.

Seriously?

At this point I doubt you are seerus.

Anyways, dual blitzes would kill anything instantly even heavy pierce resistant enemies like lumbers or lichen colonies.

Softhead

I have a different suggestion.

One of those get attention titles just for a bit, but then I just, just got lazy.

Waffleconecake

how bout no, you crazy Cog thwacker

Ok, currently I don't like this idea for several reasons:
1) This would create high spam op weapons like the blitz to be even more of a issue in just about everything.
2) This wouldn't work with heavy swords due to there large size and shouldn't any way.
3) This wouldn't work with high attack speed swords like the tooth picks or many swords in general due to the blades would just hit each other or only one would actually be used at a time.
4) This wouldn't work for bombs. I shouldn't need to say why.
5) Only guns benefit to this in any logical stand point and even then allot of guns* would just become broken or again, not usable due to the way they work.

In the end this will just require more work then it should due to the large amount of code already in place and would also cause many problems in the long run and in the end would be a step in the wrong direction.

You're not reading the other things, aren't you.

If dual weapons replace your shield atleast that means that they can't be used in Lockdown because Striker Boosters, Recon Cloaks, and Guardian Shields replace the shields.

I wonder if people only read the title.

Did you know...

What if I told you the image you linked is not of a sprite? This is a fact that has been confirmed by Eury.

A proper suggestion should really be more than one sentence, that I quote "WHy not have dual wielding!?". Two toothpicks would be cool, sure. But how would they work? What about double bombs? Now there's suddenly the fact that you'd be able to charge two weapons at once, no? How would that work out? What about LD?
I would also recommend using the search function just in case someone might have suggested this before.

Idiots.

Just saying.

I mean, this time, I edited this with my real suggestion, or my later posts, people blindly skip it.

The first few were expected, because I became Lethargic.

I don't understand, you post

I don't understand, you post about three completely different things. is the title meant to drag the person in? also, I don't understand your reasoning

Now that all the misunderstanding is gone(oy).

Anyone going to rip on the suggestion?

Lemme explain.

I was writing what was in the OP.

I put the title just because, and was about to write, however, I became lazy to the point of not bothering. I'm fat....... And noctornal.

Yet I write that you guys are just posting without reading the title(the first few were understandable, but come one, IT'S LIKE IT'S PRE-WRITTEN, WHY!?)..........

Still, talk about dual wield. NNNNNRRRG.

So, Isn't it obvious. With the addition of the Black Kat, Some theriorise it's a Arcade boss.

So I'm saying, if it was, how will the arcade cope with it.

Seerus works as typical arcade boss but it has it's own "expansion/DLC" section instead of being in the arcade.
The black kat could be an "arcade-like" boss without being there.

Dude, did you seriously change the entire thread? You're going to make us look like imbeciles for the fact that we posted things about dual-wielding and you changed EVERYTHING.

Softhead

Kinda knew.....

But if it was, and they decided to add new Arcade content, considering we don't have much since SL.

Splod, Considering that later on, people started to forget about he Op or the other things, I changed the TITLE.

The title meant nothing. There was only half of the OP. I did explain what happened.

Softhead

TBH,

The first few parts were unrelated to the Ttile.

Just to be serious, did anyone really read it, considering the last part was "Why would i even bother?" As Juances said, i doubt you're being serious.

I then realise I'm talking to myself.

Using a misleading title to get attention says a few things about the thread.

And you.

why did you do that? just write the post in word or something.

Sat, 01/19/2013 - 19:50

and a better idea

Just open another gate, and add another one under construction.

.....

But there is a light problem.

Considering the lack of activity, I'm not too sure. I mean,with the rotation, there is some more dynamic features....

But that's all speculation.
