Dual Wielding?

I don't think so, because these dual weapons have no shield, making it harder to shield cancel and will be no use to people.

Actually that's false. The Acheron shows that a knight holds his shield on his wrist, rather than his hand.

Well.. Logic.
I've seen in many games characters shield with their swords, and a shield is not equippable.

Vlad, tell us more about how it's perfectly possible to operate a 20kg sword and a 15kg shield with one arm. How do you even think that'd work out, ignoring the whole weight issue?

@Dragneel
Let's not forget 20 promos and a couple of danger missions in between.

I agree

I agree with Canozo & Msadd. Shielding is a major part of a knight’s combat mechanics. Although it would be cool to see it... I do not think it’s going to happen. Always a +1 for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 dueling system would be good times if balanced correctly.

Don't think so...

IMHO, dual wielding would kind of ruin SK's game mechanics.
Unlike other games, shielding is an important part of strategy/ survival in SK.

Also, if they implemented dual swords, they would have to implement dual guns as well... And then bombers would be angry.
Yeah, let's just hope it's not gonna happen.

@Krakob

I was never into dual wielding mechanics in SK and I probably never will be. No where in my post did I mention that I supported dual wielding... oh well.

Also, explain where you obtained these weight measurements and I'm sure that's not a factor with knights being capable of maneuvering easily with heavy swords.

Simple for 1v1...

1v1 is a lose-lose situation. The only thing that causes this is the reward system.

Generally a 1v1 should have a reward system, so as to encourage players to play. HOWEVER, the rewards system can be easily exploited, especially in situations such as farming. Even adding an entry fee doesn't seem any different. The next thing you know, people can farm by letting their alternates quit at the start of the match. Removing that function may lead to obnoxious trolls, quitting the game, realizing they are losing, causing the other person to win nothing.

Without a reward system, the 1v1 is very redundant and has no particular usage. As much as guild halls may have no use, 1v1 has 0% utility. So you swing a sword at another player, big deal, we have chairs, chirstmas trees and mist wells in the guild halls. BAM, 1v1, burned to a crisp, don't ever mention it again.

Pardon, I must've misunderstood. You just seemed to argue for it. As for the weights, they were estimations of what a Sudaruska and a Plate Shield might weigh.

Control your speed in fights with 3 Trojans.

How would you be able to control your movement speed if you can't shield?
