lots and lots of options are out there that are not in game yet. Additionally, I think it'd be cool to add a new skill to let decorations and furniture become weapons. If you have enough strength, start swinging around your L-quent sideboard or tron tower. If you got a statue, use it as a weapon that does about the same amount of damage as a TT enblade - after all it does have a tt value, right?.. Got some extra clothes in your inventory that you aren't using, maybe it can be used to choke someone? Don't want to craft, start throwing iron ores at the mobs to hit em on the head. Use some short boards as paddle. Maybe powders can be used to set up a trap to cause mobs or other avatars to trip and fall. When they fall they get stunned for a few seconds. Maybe the same powders can be used to blind other avatars by tossing it in their eyes. Of course if they are wearing shades, that doesn't effect them as much... Where's the chainsaws? What about the nun-chucks?

Also, where the heck is the battering ram to add to the front of these new cars? What about the oil slick button on them to cause other cars, mobs, and avatars following you to crash? Where's the deer horns to scare away the mobs before your car gets there? Where's the mindforce force fields? Wheres the awesome lightsaber staff type of things like seen in Star Wars? Where's the ability to throw bottles of sweat at the mobs when they go agro? Ok, so we can't throw the bottles of sweat, maybe we can load them in to a blow gun as poison to add to the darts in it?

Shoes and gloves both have tt value - why not make them able to be used as weapons too instead of just enknuckles? They might do less damage, but so what. A nice swift roundkick to a mutant might be just what they need.

As for all those mountains, why not let clothes be tied together in to long ropes? Why not make grappling hooks to be used by avatars and vehicles?

Where's the bows and arrows? What about the stone age weapons we'll need in the past on next island?

No. Please no. How about we first get existing unfinished lines finished and then start going all over the map?
  • Give us MORE powerclaws, inc unl sib ones!
  • How about some craftable two handed clubs?
  • Give us a decent line of plasma weapons!
  • Give us a decent line of Gauss weapons!
  • Give us at least some particle beamers at last!

More melee weapon types can wait. Seriously. Not only are there lots of tangling ends in existing weapons, availability for melee sucks. If we introduce more fragmantation, it will suck more. We need more melee users and better availability.

Maybe there is a need for melee-use promoting events?

agree to the above post all said.
UL Power Fist weapons?
 
Coolest idea ever.

I want to see these kind of weapons in game! :D


After all... They can be used as weapons IRL...
 
i would already be happy with MORE way MORE L melee weapons available, not necessarily new types

especially at prices that put them roughly into an eco range of an apis (without amp)

so i guess around 103% (or find something else to put the % on and not just the full decay, as guns do) (a 110% sword is roughly as eco as a h400 at 200%- thus, they gotta get cheaper, way cheaper)

just MORE of the already existent ones at decent prices would do already

as for the list above, pretty impressive :D

but the clubs, bladed stuff could already be implemented at the current ones, so i wouldn't see much problems with it

just MORE at decent eco prices so you can actually skill melee, which is currently pretty impossible, unless you got lots of money laying around for a unL version, which however binds you a lot on that weapon
 
Agree, especially to the chainsaws bit :) but throttling someone with your trousers should be an option outside of pvp - maybe reserved for all the spammers at tp's everywhere ;)
however I also think would be nice to have them fully impliment hand2hand combat like martial arts with melée combo type pvp
Nice post

how about an "ammo count" for melee weapon, so i know how many punch/ slash left before it is unusable
 
Whoo Hoo. Looks like someone in charge read this thread since at least the Labrys is out there in Greece. :)
