only I find, that the design of the new weapon is beaten out from the general weapon/armor concepts and looks awfully?
Awfull Obsidian Weapon
I do agree that the Sword looks a bit iffy, being 'broken' & all, but I like it better than the 'ninja blade.' That's why I chose to use the Gran Faust when there was only 2 Shadow Swords.
If they had made a 3 & 4* variant of the Weapons, these would fit the picture perfectly.
I could imagine the higher the *, the more 'cleaner' the weapon would become, such as the Sword having being less shattered & more complete, the Bomb having Obsidian Shards rotating around it(similar to Graviton), & the Handgun having a floating Shard that acts like a sight.
But overall, I'm okay with the way they look.
That's the point. They're supposed to look strange and outlandish.
I like them.
This is true.
We must also especially remember that these weapons are made of Obsidian materials purchased for a spirit.
Pretty much everything related to this whole obsidian event is kind of creepy and supernatural.
I have no problem with it. :D
I actually support everything in this update/event (except the AH search is broken and radiants are still uber-elusive)
No it is not. The weapons are meant to be created from obsidian (certain kind of rock). They are not made out of steel/metal like most other SK weapons. That's the way the new weapons are supposed to look. Plus, it really fits in with the Halloween theme.
