Weapon ideas.

I really like the weapons:
Scythe, war hammer, blowgun, whip, bows, punching daggers, mage wands, fists (like martial arts not just punch punch punch).

Lets break this down into classes of weapons, then add a variety of every class.

Fist type: Unarmed, Claws, Brass Knuckles, Hidden Blade, etc
Dagger: Shiv, Knife, etc.
1 Handed: Hatchet, Gladius, Mace, etc.
2 Handed: Spear, War Hammer, Battle Axe, Great Sword, etc.
Defensive: Shields, Wards, etc.
Spell/Magic: Tomes, Relics, Gems, Idols, etc.
Ranged: Handguns, Rifles, Grenades, Javelins, Bows, Slings, etc.

From here, we can decide what class weapons have what attributes, and what modifiers each weapon in each class has to set it slightly apart. Also, can some weapons be used at the same time as others? Can I wield a 1 handed sword and a spell tome at the same time? How would I select two weapons at once on my hot bar? Can I combine two classes into a single “item” that can later be separated out into its two parts again? Does combining classes of weapons combine the stats of both types, or does duel wielding make each slightly less effective in some way?

I would like to see a large variety of weapons but if the weapons are going to be mostly swords, spears shields and magic then I don’t really think having guns is really inappropriate contextually maybe some sore of alchemist or magical type guns might work but personal if there is one it should be a bit more late game as they can be very over powered when you are in a fight and the opponent has just a spear. even if it is just a bow and arrow versus a gun the gun is still too overpowered. I would love to see things like scythes and claws even things like throwing knives or shuriken(throwing stars) would still be nice.

I dislike the use of guns really. Don’t know why. Very much pro for reusable weapons that have a medieval atmosphere to ‘m though. Things like bows ‘n arrows; swords of all kinds, throwing knives, anything that can be made with the use of simple tools really.

You can update ‘m. Add poison to arrows and blades and give ‘m colored feathers to indicate what sort of poison they’re dipped in (slow or fast poison), use strong/weak wood for durability and re-usability. Use woods/stone/copper/metal/iron for your weapons to make ‘m stronger and more efficient and so on…

There are really only two things I’d do almost everything to see in this games: Dual Wielding and Scythes. (Who doesn’t want to play Death?^^) Back when I played Monster Hunter I’d always prefere the Scythe over a more powerful sword. Which brings me to my next point. Please don’t make a combined hierarchy of all weapons I’d rather do like every type of weapon has its equivalent in the other classes and weapons. So I woulnd’t have a handicap just because I love to use my Scythe instead of the sword which would come next in the hierarchy of Weapons, and which I have already the level to use but because there is no equivalent in form of a scythe I’d stick to my weaker weapon. (Was that understandable?)

why not make
shield and sword weapons that you can use together

I think that since there are temples with “ancient technologies” there should be things that are more in favor of guns. Like maybe something resembling a plasma launcher, but with an insanely long cooldown/reload time that could create explosions, and making dodge moves necessary, but that would leave a long enough time period for a potential melee rusher to close the gap for the kill on said cannoneer, or maybe sheilds/spells that would somehow block/negate the explosives effect/damage. I like the idea of ancient space guns, but realize it would be tricky balancing those with Melee weapons (maybe like guns that do medium to high damage but with a clip of about 3 and a ridiculous cooldown?) I don’t know about the details, but I sooooo want to see alien tech implement somehow, maybe even with weapons like grav hammers and energy swords???( they were just so satisfying to use????) just spitting out ideas.

Personally I’m not into the Magic stuff, but the idea of Dual Weilding with weapons I think is a pretty cool idea. Guns……nah not too keen on seeing those to be honest, it just doesn’t seem to fit with the concept that Oort is going with.

I totally agree as far as guns and oort, and I certainly don’t think conventional guns have a place in Oort, but maybe something along the lines of an alien tech energy crossbow, or some fancy equivalent that felt and looked different than bows (and guns) that used controlled energy bursts or something. Something new and original hopefully, for the sake of our sniper types 🙂

Guns would be a big turn off for me. I prefer traditional weapons. For my own personal weapon…. It’s got to be a kick ass mace!

I totally get where you guys are comng from, and I agree that the main focus of combat SHOULD be things like maces, swords, shields, axes, spears, hammers and whatever else. I’m also for dual wielding (with some weapons) but my ideas of alien tech (or some other sort awesome equivalent) are simply an extension on ranged combat, as although I feel bows and crossbows should be the base range weapons (along with magic) I think it would be amazing to have something that looks all glowy and powerful as some sort of “unknown tech” sniper. I’m thinking something like skyrim in most ways, but I would LOVE it if some sort of slow-but-deadly alien “guns” (and I use the term loosely) is featured at some point, and would NOT be superior to bows and arrows, but would be a more “hit or miss” alternative. (Think the halo 4 binary rifle, but a bit weaker of course) as always though, melee and other less advanced weapons are the most natural/easiest to incorporate. I’m just asking for something that feels a bit more fresh than crossbows, no offense to my fellow archers of course ???? ….just something I would like to see

Sorry, the four question marks are supposed to be a smiley face, but I guess my emotes aren’t playing nice with the forum

Regarding dual wielding, are there going to be equip slots for weapons, so say I dual wield scythes because why not, and something attacks me while I’m building. Do I have to panic and scroll through all the items in my hot-bar in some weird way just to fight back or can I hit a button and poof combat mode?

For the generic weapon types that everyone has come to recognize, do I have to use tomes or wands as the only catalysts, or can I take my dagger of pow pow and shoot sparks at my foes?
