New Weapons

[Coningan]

Suggeston of new DDO Weapons, but old PnP D&D Weapons:
Katar ( Adaga de Soco - "Punch Dagger" )
Spears
Javelins
Trident
Halberd
Scythe
Nunchucks

Sickles already exist in DDO; do you mean scythes?

More polearms would be the easiest to implement if they just re-use the staff animations; after all, Sireth is technically a spear, even though it's typed as a staff.

[Coningan]

Yeah. Scythes. My mistake, thanks ^^

[fool101]

yeah, I would love scythes. Should be easy enough since they are already in Cerulian Hills. Spears I could see too, but I'd prefer not adding too many new weapons. There are already quite a few choices. I'd also worry that they'd be too powerful when placed in-game (ala khopeshes, in which I believe Turbine has admitted that the stats were a mistake) or not worth it anyway.

If each weapon had an advantage, such as spears set against a charge having quadruple damage and large weapons attacking at half speed in close quarters then more various weapons would make sense. As it stands, we have almost no need for a dagger or a light mace, because there is a bigger weapon doing more DPS with no drawback.

Give each weapon a situation where it is the best option and you will see a need for more weapons.

That just brings this to mind for me...

My Personal List of wpn wants:

Spears {NOT Staffs with Piercing but ACTUAL SPEARS! - Basically this just requires a Spear animation to be added in as many Staffs have points or tines at the end already!}
Tridents and Military Forks {See above}
Slings
Lucerne Hammers {NOT just a Maul with Piercing enabled either!}
Javelins

Oh and for goodness sake can we get Warhammers added to B-Swords and D-Axes for using Two Handed Feats with Shield please!

Most interesting ideas imo are spears and slings,
Slings should have special traits - extra damage to monsters depending on how many size steps a monster is bigger than the player, and hitting small things (rats / kobolds) would give attack bonus penalty depending on size difference.

If it requires creating new animation, its not gonna happen.

[dydzio0614]

I believe in age of things such as xbox with kinect there are some cheap ways to motion capture new animations, when updating game many new monsters types have original animations, i dont think few simple attack animations are that painful to make.

[Vellrad]

Remember we're talking about company that can't make separate icons for new skills/spells/buffs/debuffs.
If they can't make something as simple as icon, there's no chance for new animations.

Gniome hook-hammers

Of course add Gnomes as well.
