Lets Cut The Random Quirks

Seriously DE. So many gimmicks. Simplicity can be beautiful.

Can we get a nice Tenno longsword weapon? 

One handed. (Length of a hand and a half sword though).

Nice attack speed.
(0.95-1.1)

Puncture damage.
(Like maybe 45 puncture un-modded. and 15 Slash)

Good copter/Aerial attack.

3m swing range. (4m Copter Range)

Just a nice decently powerful longsword melee. It would be nice to have some more vanilla feel good-comfortzone weapons.

Well Jaw Sword used to have puncture as its primary damage type.

But it doesn't look like a longsword... its hella ugly. The point is it looks vanilla and classic.

Its still what your asking for though.

So you're wanting something that doesn't look like the current fantasy we indulge, some sort of medieval longsword.

 

Also no real gimmicks with longswords, they just don't fill a particular role, beyond damage output with Dakra/Crimson. Aerial/copter is more about impulse rather than distance, not really sure what you're trying to stack it up against with those measurements.

I guess want a melee that is basically the Barton prime with stats it doesn't lean to heavily in any direction but it's overall a very solid weapon. also it would be nice to have a weapon that is as artistically simple and appealing as the galatine that isn't a twohander. It would be nice to have a hand and a half galatine.

Longsword would be a two handed weapon, about like the nikana in size, but it wouldn't be used with one hand. But I would certainly like a longsword, as well as one for the arbiters of hexis. Also, a longsword would be impact and slash, not puncture. I'd like a rapier to have slash and puncture. Certainly, a fast, one handed sword with puncture damage and an associated stance. But for a longsword? Two-handed, slash and impact primarily with some puncture, HEMA-based stance (historic european martial arts), in it's own class of weapons preferably, and if not, then in the Swords class and not Axe (heavy melee) class. Also, I don't think a longsword should copter alot. Edited March 5, 2015 by AntoineFlemming

60 damage longsword? You mean a puncture version of Dakra Prime?

[MechaTails]

We have a game about space ninja magician assassins and all people want is broadswords that look like boring old broadswords because anything else is a "gimmick".

 

Okay then. I have no idea what anyone wants in this game anymore.

[Hatzeputt]

A long sword is primary a slashing weapon to make it deal mainly puncture damage makes no sense.

If you want a puncture sword you would have to look at a gladius or for a longer version at a rapier.

 

For a 1 handed puncture weapon a simple spiked mace, morning star etc would do the trick.

For a 2 handed one, a simple pointy stick also known as a spear, something quite a few people have been asking for time and again.
