Poor 1H Melee Weapons

[Renthar]

U10 arrives and still no proposed fix or solution for the obvious problem of 1 handed melee weapons. 

 

I mean, they haven't made any in god-knows how long, so they're aware of the issue. No communication on it though, very disappointing,

 

I have an idea, although I'll admit I haven't thought it through. The Kogake has a move (maybe other weps do as well, not sure) where 1 button press, further into the combo, performs 2 quick punches. My proposal is to have 1h melee weps perform multiple short, quick strikes with each button press. i.e. a combo. The combo would still only have 4-5 movements within the combo, but each movement (button press) would have progressively more strikes.

 

Anyone who has played The Force Unleashed, or a lot of other games thinking about it, will be familiar with this concept.

 

Either that or DE just pops on News and Announcements and just openly states that 1h melee weps are purely cosmetic :P

 

I'm not saying my idea is perfect, but they have to try something.

They're still working on Armour 2.0 and won't release it until they're ready. Hopefully a few changes will come when it is launched.

Everyone's been saying that, but I fail to see how this problem can be solved with damage types rather than mechanics. The way all other weps operate is more efficient than 1h melee weps. Making 1h weps more powerful or effective against armour doesn't seem like the best way to solve this conundrum.

Again, we can't see until it is coming. And like I said, hopefully.

if you watch the streams you would of seen them mention they are lookign into them but scott has stuff already on his plate to finish before he moves onto that

Lol, yeah, get that new content out there. No time to fix existing content. Some problems have been around so long that the "they're getting to it, they mentioned it at some point"  argument gets a bit stale.
