Is it just me, or is anyone else kinda wanting some new weapon classes, like rifles, heavy machine guns, two handed weapons, etc? Because to me, even though there are a lot of good weapons to choose from, it's usually variants of a standard version, like the Combuster, Voltedge, Glacius, and Acheron. Which all come from the Brandish. How about something new, and original, that might make a new multiplayer gamemode, instead of Lockdown? Maybe something that will affect the tactical gameplay of roaming the Clockworks? Ideas? Anyone?
New weapon classes?
No, we don't really need more weapon types because sometimes they will make other weapon types useless. All you suggested are guns. This isint call of duty.
We don't need new weapon types. We already have the 3 basic types covered; they're ranged, melea, and AoE.
Okay, so, with my rifle weapon idea, it will have a high rate of fire, and low knockback, so that if you're kiting around an arena with a friend who needs to safely discharge his blade over and over, to hit the max number of enemies, you can do that. In PvP it'll be harder to do with the striker class, as they zip around a lot, making them hard to hit when dealing with a skilled player. Also, with rifles, you can shoot and move, but lose the ability to shield, but can evade twice as quickly.
With bladed weapons, maybe more Winmillon type weapons, for more versatility in battle, so you don't always need to come equipped with a hand gun, to hit enemies out of your reach(Gaps in the level floor).
Your rifle idea? Antigua lines
Sealed swords series have a charge attack which allows you to shoot projectiles, although a winmillion upgrade seems to be quite desired.
You are supposed to come up with suggestions and we are supposed to critisize them. Not the other way around. So if you want those weapons, you have to come up with ideas.
