new weapon types?

andromedafalls

could there possibly be new weapon types in game
i would personally like to see melee staffs (spears/scythes) in game and was wondering what other people think

That is a great idea. A set pike skill for charging ranks. Javelin would also be epic. A scythe with robes, need I say more. nice.

I would love melee staves!!!! OMG this game definitely needs more options for character customization!!!!

I think they said there is nothing in the short term, or even the long term right now. Could be wrong, I wouldn't be able to source that right now.

Nothing is planed, so IF they decide to do it today, you won't see it happen for at least 1 year minimum. Planning, scheduling, designing, building, testing all takes a lot of time.

It'll happen eventually, just don't hold your breath

With regards to spears I have noted something interesting. In the Hollow City if you side with the argonian warriors (let the hist live) You will see an argonian warrior in the Argonian's house practicing with a spear. This means that animations with spears have been made. Wonder why.....

Also flails/morning stars would be stellar!

Definitely want to see spears/polearms as a weapon type - two handed, focused on extended reach (maybe a 7-10 meter attack range instead of the 5-7 meter range used for current melee weapons), and PBAoE attacks (sweeping the weapon in a circle to knock down or damage all nearby enemies).

Spears/Polearms/Halberds are always my choice weapon, but they're left out of so many games nowdays, they're like the redheaded stepchild of weapon types.

Probably wouldnt be a bad idea to give them some kind of block-bypassing damage, too, in order to alleviate block spam issues.

Spears and their brethren would be excellent additions to the game. Give them extended reach and the ability to break thru blocks and one has just added more balance to the game. All these ridiculous perma block builds would no longer be such a pain in the a**, and more diversity would be added to the game. Also give them AOE attacks like has been suggested above.

The last game I have played with battle staves was Dynasty warriors: and I had a blast with it. I would love to wield another crescent blade, or another polearm, or a halberd(whatever that's called) so many possibilities.

Of course, let's fix the problems the game has first before adding in new content.
