What are the chances for Spears or Fists?

Eirikir

Not sure this is the forum for it, but what are the chances we will get new weapon types in the future?

I would be interested to see bare handed skills and spear as well.

Burning_Talons

Templars and unarmed

Eirikir

I mean an actual spear and barefisted skill line and weapon (in the case of the spear anyway).

With attacks and passives and such. At least a barefisted one. I like punching with metal gauntlets augmenting the attack in older Elder Scroll games.

I really want "One-hand skill line" more than new weapons

Ackwalan

Spears would be nice, and they would fit the lore.

Ilterendi

Please no. They can't balance and keep what they have bug free. Requesting new skill lines on top of that is like passing out meth-coated donuts at an AA meeting.

Thevampirenight

They need to add hand to hand and spears, They aready got npcs that can use spears why can't we?

iam_slickone

spears would be pretty cool

Id like crossbows. So that (weak ass) bows arent the only ranged stamina options.

Recremen

Currently no chance since most people would want them to be independent skill lines instead of another weapon type for existing ones. Unarmed would require people to get their lore glasses out and think outside the box if it's going to fit into an MMO, though. Obvi we couldn't just have fist weapons and call that "unarmed", people expect bare knuckle boxing and that sort of thing. What they could do is some kind of Mantling, where you simply slot a weapon for its stats but change the appearance to be unarmed. Would be pretty cool, I think. You want your fists to be swords so bad that they kind of are. It's canon, trust me.

I would love both but they can not even get close to balancing what they have.

My personal opinion instead of giving away a million dollars to a guy who never reached Vr1. They should have give away 100k and hired forty more people to work on all the balance items they seem to not have the personal to get to.

They are managing a multi million dollar project. They are responsible for a multi million dollar yearly revenue stream and it damn sure doesn't feel like it on the consumers end.

I would -LOVE- new weapon skill lines!
The ones I would really want to see in ESO:

Polearms - borrow some animations from the "aedric spear" line and make it a nice skill line for stuff like halberds, pikes, glaives, spetums, tridents, war scythes, etc. Possibly with an extended range for strikes, but with an "half-damage" feature if the enemy gets too close...

One-handed and Ranged - give us offhand options like javelins (yes, exactly like the spear-throwers in orsinium), throwing axes, shuriken, darts, throwing knives, etc., and a mix of ranged and melee strikes for a flexible weapon loadout...

Brawling - should not be competetive in damage with the other weapon lines, not even with the weapons for it - punch daggers, brass knuckles, cesti, etc.; but instead have a nice selection of wrestling move CC options... leg sweep for a knockdown, dirt thrown into eyes for a blind, kick below the belt for a stun... that sort of thing...

One-handed and Magic - with an offhand wand or runestone, and a mix of magically charged melee strikes and elemental mid-range and AoE attacks...

And while we are at it... I would also love to see more weapon options for the existing skill lines that have a certain lack of these. Like...

-Crossbows added to "Bow" (maybe rename that one "Marksmanship" or something like that?), possibly with boinus armor penetration, but a "reload time" between shots? ...perhaps Sligns added as well, with some other stat adjustment (less range, but cheaper to use? Stun chance on hit? Insta-kill chance against giants?)

-Flails added to One-handed and Two-handed, maybe with some penalty to block them (as historically flails were often used to strike around an enemies shield), but increased stamina cost (or even the historical drawback... you could hit yourself if you were not careful)?

-some alternate weapon for Destruction and Restoration magic, so we don't all have to lug the big ole staves around... I am imagining some sort of "Spell Focus", with exactly the same effects, just different animations... depending on racial style, this might be ornate spellbooks, holy symbols, gilded scepters, meditation crystals, gemmed skulls, shaman rattles, etc.

dRudE

Self hitting flails! Yes! Gimme now and bigger yes to casting spells from hands instead of pokey sticks, just for the option.

Love it OP!

Fists ( could equip gloves like Spartacus )


Spear:

Halbreds could also count as spears

Scythes:

Daedric weapons as either weapons or a skill line ( if it's a skill line make it ALL ultimates ) that way you can only slot and use one at a time. Hircine's bow ranged ult, Mehrunez Razor - dagger ult ect. while I REALLY want these relics to be in game items I can wield if they didn't do it with Dawnbreaker it's safe to assume they won't with everything else ... which makes me a sad panda

Hircine's ring was one of my fav items in Skyrim & so was the barbaric jacket I wore in Oblivion that he gifted me with...

Another cool thing would be Claymores, like 2h but slower and more dmg
