I have this idea for a promo that could be released in the future. I think people would get mad at it but I'm sure lots of people would like it alot.

I'm going to write about what I think is going to happen and how you could join a promo to it. :D

So when the core is opened or something new comes like T4 or something its probably going to be a bit of a challenge for most of us to beat the the new monsters with our current 5 star wep, right? I think they are going to introduce dual weild like the one knight at the core. I think this would be a good choice because they wouldn't have to make a ton of new weapons which would take time, and they would also make more money because people might buy more CE to craft something they already have. Dual weild would only work with the a weapon in the same alchemy chain. When you block with dual weild the shield would only last 3Hits no matter what monster you fight. Oh and any uv's you have on one sword or guna or bomb would also be on the other weapon.

Ok so now for the promo that would go with it. I was thinking about the older promo's and how you were garenteed something and most of those promo's didn't have any complaints, and I thought about the Rose Regailia promo's and how popular they were and how everyone who still wants a set. I came up with the idea to make a Prismatic Rose Regalia this would be incorperated with the addition of dual weild because the Pris Rose would be weilding 2 Final Flourishs on the cover. When you buy the pack you are garenteed either a chap or tab not a full set because this would be only one costume set not 3 like in the other Rose promo's.

The Red,Blue,Green,Gold,Violet, and Coral sets would probably be affected but 2 of the gen 1 sets (Black/White) would only increase in the value more because they would become more unique.

Anyways these are my thoughts and suggestions, I hope someone likes them.

Sorry for probably the bad grammar and stuff but I was kind of nervous writing this thinking of all the hate I might get from my idea, but I just feelt that I had to let people know. I've asked a couple of friends and they thought it would be cool idea :D.

The title says "cool", "new", and "stuff". This is what the thread actually has:

Lazy attempt at dual wielding with minimal effort
"Open the core of the planet and make T4 and stuff"
Reskin of existing item
Reintroduce old costumes which have been agreed not to reintroduce

What about your claims?

"Cool"
"New"
"Stuff"

"Cool" is subjective and is only used to describe accessory coloration.
"New" means something which is new. Both dual wielding and those costumes are incredibly old ideas.
"Stuff" means actual items, such as a new weapon. You offer none.

By your own claims you have failed on all three accounts.

Effort: 2/10
Creativity: 0/10
Detail: 1/10
Mechanical applicability: -10/10
Profits Three Rings: 1/10

This is what I was affraid of

This is what I was affraid of :(. I was thinking OOO's would profit because lots of people like rose and it would be easy profit because they wouldnt need to spend time makeing new weps people would just buy ce to make the same thing over again. Anyways thats the way I see it. But I guess I'm wrong :(.

Whoa whoa, hold your Tortodrones there a second.
"any uv's you have on one sword or guna or bomb would also be on the other weapon"?
So... does that mean that if I have an ASI VH BTB and an ASI Med BTB, I could max out my ASI without any Vog, trinkets or Swiftstrike? Because if so, that's terribly overpowered.
Lasting three hits no matter what monster sounds pretty damn bugged. Trojan to the face? Nope, I still get three hits on my shield!

Prismatic Rose Regalia... I think pictures would be necessary here. It might be possible to incorporate something like this, but if you make it unique compared with all the existing regalias (i.e. no colouring the entire armour with someone's personal colour, but just having sections of it altering with grey) then it would be able to work.

tl;dr
Dual wielding: As it stands, with the way you have described it to me, definitely no.
Prismatic Rose Regalia: Possibly, although could do with some tweaking to prevent mass rage.

Ok dual wielding would just

Ok dual wielding would just be like normal attacking with your right hand but it would be mirrord on your left hand, guns same thing, thought idk how bombs would work dual wield, for the uv's i ment if one sword as asi vh than both swords would have asi vh, but u only get the greater uv if u have one with asi vh and other with asi med u would only get vh because you only get the greater uv. so u could in theory you could get vh against every monster because like i'm explaining now you get the greater uv, so you could have one sword with vh beast, fiend and construct and the other with vh undead, gremlin and slime that would make your damage super effective against everything and as for blocking with 2 wepons i thought that being able to take 3hits without ur block breaking would be fair seeing that u would do twice as much damage per second

...that still sounds overpowered.
Needs more editing, especially the shield part. That definitely needs to scale to damage dealt; it should be of about the same strength as a Swiftstrike. If you want a stupid fast damage output, you're going to have to trade out for defense.
A Barbarous Thorn Shield can only stand up against a single hit from a Trojan. If it takes another one, it breaks. It would be ridiculous for a toothpick to be able to take more damage than something specifically designed for taking heavy amounts of damage.

I dont know what else to say

I dont know what else to say :(. Do you have idea's that would make it less op? My main idea was basically the Pris Rose Regailia seeing that they made hunter items which are just recoloured items we already have I thought this idea would work the same way.

@Skenderbeu

Most of the harsh commentary stems from suggestions that are not well thought-out. A cool idea is not the same thing as a good idea.

To avoid making incendiary suggestions, don't re-invent the wheel; use the search engine to find out if it was suggested before and what the response was. If you think your suggestion is different from all the others, think carefully about how it would affect the game and describe the concept in detail.

The comments to your suggestions were not hateful so much as they were blunt. You would do well to recognize the difference. ;)

P.S. I know the search engine is really slow, but we have to work with what we've got.

Thanks for telling me ^.^.

I'll switch the name of this thread to Idea's That I Like & You May Like To.

I'm sorry I couldn't explain my idea's better I'm just not good with words. Maybe next time I should make a video with props and talk. I just sound stupid when I write and it's hard for me to explain my thoughts and a clear way for everyone to understand :(.

I do not like these ideas and I don't think others will too.

Also it is ideas. Not idea's. No apostrophe.

Dual wielding is silly. Dual wield Polaris + Toothpick = Polarispick = instant win.

But you would only be able to

But you would only be able to weild the exact same weapon or any weapon withing the alchemy chain of the weapon in your right hand, both weps would do mirrored attacks of each other, besides my idea is pris rose I was just speculating that dual wield or t4 is coming and thats how i think it will work, and I thought the prismatic dual wielding rose regalia knight would be a nice promo idea

Dual wielding may well be coming. However, the way that you have presented it is not all that balanced: it might be possible to have such a thing be more balanced by reducing the damage output of each weapon to 70% of normal attack, increasing charge time significantly, increasing attack speed somewhat, making certain weapons impossible to be dual wielded, and taking out any shield ability completely/making it a paper shield.
Then I might consider it.

The idea of Prismatic Regalia is okay, as long as the design isn't exactly the same as current coloured regalias.
If you need more help, there are other dual wielding threads you can search for and look at for inspiration/help.
