[Specter68]

[Top_Smoker]

Id like to see samurai swords for sure but they would have to have the quick draw so you can do extra initial damage if your weapon is sheathed ( takes a lot of stamina but is a fast attack and hurts! ) But nun-chucks no! it just doesn't seem like it will hurt against a guy with a sword , shield , and plate armor. I'm game for flails though, Those weapons are devastating. ninja stars are a decent idea but again they just don't do much against a sheild and plate armor. I would like to see black eggs for stealth type characters, They dont kill but temporarily disorient the enemy.

quarterstaffs (also wood) have been in nearly every fantasy RPG. your same arguement could apply to those. however, not everyone will be fully armored in metal plates, so I think wooden weapons and shurikens are fine.

My favorite weapon of all time is a scythe.

If you have ever seen someone use one as a weapon irl, then you know what I mean, it is so much fun to watch. So with MO's focus on reality, it can be a really cool weapon.

If you have seen it in a fantasy sense, then it is even cooler. Such as in some animes, or video games. Like my sig, Hidan, from Naruto, watch a few episodes if you want, really cool weapon, its also in several video games, like Soul Calibur......(If only people could use it like that irl lol ^^)

And finally, just the intimidation of it. A scythe in my opinion is easily one of the most intimidating weapons, a long reach with a heavy weaighted head coming down or from the side at you is definatley something that is going to do some damage. Also, its generaly just a BIG weapon 0.0.But given the light handle end of it, still provides alot of mobility for movement and defense.

Cool weapon, cool look, beautiful style to watch if you ever get the chance to see it in person.

My vote is scythe. ^^

Want to use my shield like the spartan did.

you watch too, cool
Spartan has been my favorite and the battle was epic!

don't be dissapointed by the pirate v. knight though it wasn't a fair fight.

[Elwe]

I would really love to see 'Tonfa' in the game. If you don't know what this is its what is now called "night sticks" and was carried by a large number of police forces before they were replaced with extending batons and others of the same.

[Lacryma]

Shakrams would be nice

[UniToxic]

A boomarang!

You will be suprised how much damage you can do to a whole army with one of these.

On a serious note, I love playing ranged-based character's in games where I have the chance, so any bow will suffice.

I've only managed to find a couple of weapons it could be.

A type of Naginata, which was a Japanese spear-type weapon with a short sword on the end instead of a spearhead. [...]

Naginatas are so badass, but that is not a Naginata, sorry to say. Naginatas (like almost all Oriental weapons) have a curved blade. The weapon she's holding looks a lot closer to a glaive or a fauchard:





Scythes, a lot of people have mentioned, also look similar to this. At least those used in armies. Their blades were straight; the huge, curved, grim-reaper looking scythe is used for cutting wheat, smaller ones (I think they're called Kamas) also useful for cutting rice. They aren't very useful for combat, but hey, it's a fantasy, who cares? XD

I want the most favorite weapon of all besieged armies: a ceramic pot full of urine! That, combined with a plague-ridden rat-flail, will make my day ^^

[Looseshooter]

I'm going to have to go with a ball and chain, one weapon I haven't seen in an MMO that'd be fun to aim in first person and use.

[Alistair]

Archery. and a fast damage dealing melee weapon. What ever i find to be the best I will use.

[Looseshooter]

It always bothered me that games based around a certain time period HAD to include swords or bows, just because that's what happened historically. I think a separate evolution of weaponry would definitely been possible.

For example instead of swords, blades based around the arms and legs could have developed. So, instead of fighting with your wrist, the player would be fighting with a forearm or bicep that's closer to their center. As a result, fighting styles would have even been different.

I really hope the devs are really creative in their design aspects both visually and functionally. Everyone's played with swords, let's do something different for once!

[Alkonost]

I'll take a sniper rifle with a side serving of an airstrike-directing laser pointer.

[termtie156]

know what would be a sweat weapon the mongolian mounted horse bow or can be used on the ground

[termtie156]

the blow dart gun would be sweat for assasination

[termtie156]

shurikens would be cool too
ninja throwing stars if you dont know

[termtie156]

battle axe would be cool too

[Kithrinn]

I, like many others, would like to see a one-handed spear implemented.

[Damerial]

hmm i have some of them:
of course i want to see standard set of weapons and addational, shurikens,katanas,scythe

[Draconis184]

Spears,swords,axes,hammers,bows,crossbows,daggers, shields(yep,shield as weapon,too),punches,kicks,staves(not just for casting spells,but as melee weapon aswell),nets...

Katana is a two-handed weapon. Dai-katana is a larger version for fighting cavalry and speakmen, akin to european zweihander.

Afaik the Katana is a hand and a half sword, or in other words a sword that can be used both ways, it's light and balanced but has a long handle allowing heavy strokes to be delivered in 2 handed fashion, the Dai katana was a Samurai's field sword, being used in battle and not carried around or used in ceremonial situations like a Katana.


For myself I hope Flamberge's/zweihanders which can actually be held fore of the guard will be included or failing that Warhammers which can actually be used in momentum fashion, swinging for as long as strength allows.
Ohh and scimitars, who doesn't like a scimitar :P

[TheGrayGhost]

I'd actually like to see Flails in game. They seem to always be left out.

There are a variety of flails. Some are more like a Spiked ball and long chain. Some have handles, some have multiple heads. Some have spikes, some just do crushing or blunt dmg. In either case, I don't think I can remember ever seeing flails in an MMO.

[comadreja]

Falcata-Kopesh,Sarisa, Pilum...

[Cradlejoe]

I would very much like to see spears.
I would also just fall in lvoe with this game if the spears could be thrown as well as used in Melee.

[Chesturm]

I'd like to have an MG42 with a side of StuG please.

Pfft, Stug. I wanna be able to call in a Tiger.

[Skoots]

+1 for flails, would be cool if the animation when charging the attack you where swinging it above your head before you released, knight in full plated armour swing his spiked ball waiting to hit your face.

And the iron tip was designed to break on impact rendering the pilum useless so it could not be thrown back at the romans, genius :P they used them to soften a charge or make it falter altogether as opponents would stumble over their fallen comrades at full tilt whilst running at the roman gladius/remaining pilum/shield wall.

Rapiers are very thrust thrusting weapons, and despite popular opinion, absolutely lethal, precise weapons. You can place a rapier point through a compact square of hay, not an easy task. Not so good against heavy armour, they can pierce leather/light armour (especailly the stiletto bladed ones, where the diamond shaped blade is a lot stronger than the flatter bladed earlier rapiers), and are highly, highly manouverable.

I to would like to see rapiers, I use them whenever a game offers them whether or not they are practicle at the time. If they do add in weak points in the armor (just above the belt, under the arm etc) like has been suggested on some other threads this could be a really great weapon.

[Chaoswolf]

Dual wielding daggers and swords! This would be so cool, especially if they make it so that you have to get a certain level in melee to be able to duel wield

I'm all for axes, halberds, and javelins. I'd throw in a nice hammer, some fun maces and morning stars, and probably a glaive as well as a Nordic sword-staff.

[Sturmer]

Swords/Axes that cut and slash
Maces/Clubs that crush

Spears/Pilums/Trowing axe (short range)
Crossbows (medium range)
Bows (long range)

[Truth]

Actually many crossbows were known for shooting farther than bows (including longbows). Crossbows also are better at piercing (at close range). However crossbows shoot obviously much slower and have less accuracy at long range.

[Doker]

A sword.
A bow.
A axe.
A dagger.
A spear.

[Khurn]

Really need to know how the weapons and damage are modeled. Or most will want the longest weapon like any polearm type, if the weapon/damage area isn't modeled it becomes a 6-8ft sword edge.

I definitely am a sword and board type, it would be nice to see curved blades like the Yatagan or a kukri for up close and personal. Most importantly a nice collection of shields would be nice.

[unfringed]

1: Flashbangs
2: Smoke grenades/screens

More realistic stealthing options, please.

Oh, and some Song of Ice and Fire style clay pots filled with explosive flammable goodness.

Perhaps they could include some short knifes and throwing knifes such as these. Maybe they could have concealable weapons so if you mug and kill someone, you could hide your weapon and just fit in with the crowd.

[Barck]

Claws? It doesn't seem to me that claws were a truly viable weapon in any point in history and a claw user would probably get his/her ass kicked 9 out of 10 times by a sword user because of the reach, but they would be great at blocking/parrying smaller weapons like daggers.

Other than that I would like to see flails in the game--The sound of a rattling chain swinging in a circle over the head of the user and a skullcrushing sound when the ball makes impact, ohh yes!
