Anyone ready for new weapons?

SchizoidMetal

I kinda feel its time the Devs started thinking about a few new weapon types. It has been the same for 3+ years now ya? How about some crossbows, spears(halberds are nice) a class build made with throwing weapons(darts, daggers, ect)

Outfitting older weapons also would be cool. We can apply poison to weapons that override our enchantments, how about arrows that do specific things too(while I know poison works for this too, surely you get what im going for here)

Maybe even add in some distinction between swords(short blade, long blade)

Anyone else got any ideas for new weapon types?

Spears

And swords for warriors, not for stupid mages and their stats.

LukosCreyden

For now, I'll settle for the "rune and blade" that was datamined. Wouldn't say no to an unarmed weapon tree, though.

Nunchakus

yah, its been a topic for a long time. One in which I think needs some consideration now. I had hoped the gameplay would feel different with leveling a warden, but I just dont feel it. I come to the conclusion it isnt the class that is making it feel no different it is the weapon choices. I dont know its late lol.

Also, keep in mind that weapon ideas need to go hand and hand with Elder Scrolls Lore or we will all face the wrath of the lore gods! haha

I don't care about the Eso lore but it shouldn't have ninja stuff. It must be within the the theme of the background.

MLGProPlayer

The game is already a nightmare to balance. Please no new variables.

I wanna surf across the battlefield and whack ppl over the head with it

Nunchakus were originally for farming rice. So possibly some scummy slave argonian is working away in a paddy with them at this time.

However the Yo Yo was orginally a weapon. Let's add that in.

Not sure if firearms is a troll or not.

I'd like flails.

Alot of ancient weapons started as farming tools. But I think Argonians would have more knots on their head if they used them. Better let the Nords handle them.

I approve of your Yo Yo idea

Two words: Dwemer Shotgun. Granted, it was a Skyrim mod, but still....

Kinda meh on flails tbh.

Soul Shriven style. The Axes are Scythes.

Polearms are always neglected in games. They are the most widely used and promonent of all battlefield weapons in history, but just get swept under the rug.

The reason is animations. A sword, a mace, an axe, they all have a generic swing animation. But adding in polearms of any type would require a whole new animation set and devs are too lazy for that.

In WoW, polearms and staves use the same melee attack animations.

Here it'd be a little more awkward I think.

Though if they added an entire new weapon skill line, they would add new animations for it.

Yes, but I would love if they would be a magicka type of weapon (as i play a magplar)
they could then use a "necro" kind of skill tree

ChuckyPayne

Good idea, but before this or with this, I'd prefer some QoL changes with skill lines.

Skill point redistribute.
- If you want to change only 1 morph, or release some skill points in a skill tree.
- The way we have it is all but not comfortable/user friendly. CP system is very user friendly.

Smarter skill exp.
- Less grind more comfort.
- Get exp both weapon bar at same time.
- If you set the morph and the skill reached the max level. Other morph automatically collect exp too.

Loadouts
- Setup for gears, skills, CP

Around the world yo yo ultimate? Those house dres enslaver guys in DSA already have the animation for it. Complete with range of emotes too, poll required? We like a poll.

Really not set on firearms. Maybe a Dwemer steam cannon. Which would be jokes having zerglings running around hosing everyone down.

There's already a motif that turn your Axes into Scythes

This, we need a dual wield for magicka with 1 hand weapons...

Arundo

Flails, Crossbow, Long bow / short bow, halberd / polearms.

If they come up with pistols / shotguns or anything of that crap I'm out !

strebor2095

Spears/melee staves. Possible Spear and Shield?

Then some form of Tome/ casting. Maybe can summon bound weapons too? Or do self-alteration and make your fists into tree trunks

Finally, a PvP only skill line. Like, War Banner. Can only get it in Cyro, it changes your Loadout similar to Sorc Ult. And if you die or try to change weapons, you drop it and someone else can pick it up etc

Aisle9

Sword&runes

spellsword plis

old_mufasa

Of like to see all the below added all at the same time....

1: 1 hand and focus caster weapon line with conjuration/illusion magic focus

2: Spear and Shield a dps off tank style

3: Cross bow with a redesign of bow tree to go with the cross bow, bows for sustain dps to the point of being viable main weapon and cross bow for burst/back up weapon skill line.

Zardayne

Yes we need new weapons bad. I was respeccing a character last night and comparing him with another and I realized just how boring this has got. The two were both magica and it was like oh boy destro/resto..so many choices. It's not just magica either. I feel the same way on my stamina characters..2 handed pvp (better now in pve too), dw for pve. Bow is pretty much secondary always so I can slot the same 3 skills as I do every character. At 3 years this is getting boring...

Zardayne

I'd like a 2 handed spear/pole arm line myself.

Sneaky-Snurr

I'd like the addition of spears. To complement this, mounted combat should be implemented.

Though I can see the problem in its combat mechanics may be a little clunky or wild in terms of targeting but I think it can definitely be done right. Lots of potential for a more expansive combat spectrum with that.

LiquidPony

I don't think that new weapons need to be added just for the sake of adding new weapons ...

That said, a spear-type weapon that allowed stamina-based DPS to be purely ranged (without going bow/bow) would be really nice.

Jusey1

Crossbows. I am tired of using a bow as my secondary weapon for my Paladin character. Though, I'm hoping for crossbows to share the "Bow" skill line and just have it renamed to Archery, while the crossbows specifically has their unique stats, such as being a bit more slower to fire but dealing more damage, as well as other things. Unless they can do a new Crossbow skill line that is very balance and fun.

Wands. So you can cast destruction magic or heals with your off hand and keep a sword, axe, dagger, or mace in your main hand.
