I dont know if theres any hammers in this game but it would greatelly use one! They should make like a new sub-group of weapons,the hammer.

this is a hammer i created.WORK IN PROGRESS.The shape should be like that and the energy symbol there,but the textures of the hammer need a lot of work to look like from spiral knights (antique looking spiral details and so on) .And i think im gonna work on it a little bit more and ill add some new cool weapons.Hope u like it.

And its name is energy hammer.It has a lot of damage,is slow like hatchet and has area damage.And i mean when it hits the ground or player/monster it creates a small area damage that harms all the nearby monsters and players.And it has a good chance of causing weak shock.Hope it aint too good....cause i could lower its configurations a bit.

Oh hey, another thread that didn't do any research whatsoever!

On a more serious note, that thing looks more like a mace or mallet than anything else, and would probably be treated as a sword-like weapon rather than generating an entirely new class of weapons. You only came up with one unique weapon; that isn't enough to make a whole new family. (Hell, hatchets, wrenches and massive sodding rocket hammers got placed as 'swords'.)
Is the area damage part the charge? What does the standard attack look like? How many swings does it have?
Also, could you give us some flavour text and damage numbers to work with too?
Kudos for making the pictures, though.

Seerus hammer, or even troikas smash the ground with an AoE attack without damaging players.

Maybe this could be a penalty for having another stronger side-effect, like inflicting curse, But Ithink I'm going too far.

And unlike your shield suggestion, this one looks too.... plain.

oh great....u peopel already

oh great....u peopel already invented all didnt u??? and they could seriously make more sub-groups cause theres a lot diferent types of weapon,i mean it definately looks like a hammer (your link) but it has a icon for a heavy sword,i mean are they that lazy??? and i just tried this so i could see how would players react,i am going to make more hammers like that and i dont know what u mean it does look like a hammer http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx90/jasonbuie1975/ImperialHammer2.jpg it looks similar like this and its a hammer.And and the attack looks like the player is trying to nail the player/monster in to the ground XD,i mean the attacks are swings from up to down hard swing that make area damage and i thikn a combo of 2 attacks would be great and both attacks are similar except the second is stronger and makes a small are damage,while the sharge attack makes a big area damage and the hammer is a really slow weapon.I thouh maybe other players could thnik about the damage and stats cause i dont really know much equipments from the game and i dont know how much damage is enough.

and i would like to make something that most players would like so..what are your ideas?

Hmm...

Most players would like you to research before you post ideas.

hammers mean

hammers mean massive power even more then a heavysword. taht means its slowness have to be countered by heavy amounts of damage. not only that, hamers can also be fuse with some lements like shock or ice. but the biggest thing is what defferentiates it from the troika line so that some players would even think of using it instead of a troika? thats whau need to think about. dont make it something obvious like the charge attack either. try to create a unique way it attacks like using the hilt of the hammer as a way of attacking. this would create a whole new fighting style and then after creating that can u tell us what the charge is like and other features like damage ouput and fusing it with some elements from sk.

dammasta nobody likes a know

dammasta nobody likes a know it all XD and thanks for your info thats what i meant, heavy damage and slow speed,but i dont quite understand what are u trying to say.And it would have area damage that would not push players away but only harm them and maybe it could even have a spin attack i dont really know for now but i see that its a great idea.And 3 rings...are they that lazy? i mean if they separated the weapons in more sub groups like hammers,tools (slime slasher,robo wrecker and beast basher),light blades,lances it would make the game look like it has more to offer.And like this it sounds a bit stupid...i mean when u tell some on.."hey in this game u have swords" and u see on the wiki..."swords"

Hey dude it's nothing personal...

We're just really tired of seeing bad ideas (your not the only one, I've come up with more than my fair share of bad ideas)

Little-Juances

I already said this, the more details you give about the weapon, the more appealing it'll be to others and maybe to developers.

Sometimes we are jerks, but consider our criticism as a favour.

Your ideas aren't that bad.

Unlike most posts in Suggestions, you're at least putting an effort with art and such.

You're on the right track. =o

Do you only make these threads to show off your Google Sketch models?

Also, research for existing hammer weapons before posting this.

I agree with Blandaxt's first

I agree with Blandaxt's first post. It shouldn't be able to hurt players (only in PvP). Also, OOO is NOT lazy.

I amend what I said; when I mentioned it looked un-hammer-like, what I intended to convey was that the head is not exceptionally large, and resembles a mace in that regard.
I am perfectly 0kay with this weapon being put into the game, I just don't see any point in having a whole new class for it when we already have a perfectly good melee-class weapon (although 'sword' could probably do with reclassifying).
As for damage numbers, I would probably go with Troika. It seems pretty similar, operationally.

Okay. First of all Dammasta

Okay.
First of all Dammasta and some of u,u are helping,but u arent helping by just saying "u didnt do any research" the people who really helped me was Aureate.He asked me the questions that need answering.And all do all the info u players beg for for this weapon,and i mean EVERYTHING.And yes i will change the look of the hammer a bit so it really looks like a battle hammer.And it will have similar stats like troika,except it will have his combo and attacks changed.So for now u just need to keep this post alive and ill do the info and all but lately im busy with school so i will be updating this post in a week(i think) sorry but i need school to do XD.
And thanks Jmsa ill continue and yes spiral-spectre,a bit to show off XD but its still in point to get the new stuff in the game.And by saying it can hurt players i meant in pvp only not in arcade.Sorry i see now how wrong i sead it XD.
So ill do the combo (how it looks how much attacks)and do the damage,speed,overall stats of the whole hammer and ill do more hammers to go with this one.So there could be a class "hammer"amongs the already class "swords" which looks a bit stupid to put all the hammers,picks,shovels etc. in the same basket as swords.
