scythes rework, forgot it was a thing.

[TheKurtiStryke]

I completely forgot about this, so, what happend to the scythes rework De promised us?

If you don't remember, De long ago, told us that scythes were going to get a rework, not just paper changes(like buffs), but also models and combos changes, for example, making the scythes bigger becuase right now  it feels more like i'm swinging a sickle rather than a deadly schyte, and for the combos, they were not sure if to completely change the combos and make a new stance, or just slap on it the heavy blades stance.

 

so, is this still a thing? is still coming "soonTM" or is just another scrapped idea?

[Kaotyke]

This was talked about and considered. Then it was discarded and with Melee 2.999999969 it was made irrelevant.

There was no "promise".

Scythes are good now, with all the non-Zaws having a range of 2.7-2.9m (3m is usually the max). Their stances are good, but a little clunky. And they're one of the few good Heavy Attack weapons.

I did never even realized it earlier while im running with reaper prime
But as i think about it wouldnt it be better to keep what we have as it is just renaming it to sickle
And then add new weapon type SCYTHE like big ones that would work like actually SCYTHE?

I for sure would be more happy with that

I don't recall that being a "promise" exactly but they aren't in a state that requires a rework anymore thanks to the last melee rework.

Though as far as they are visually personally I'd prefer if they did that with a new line of "Heavy Scythe" weapons. Like how we have Nikana and Two-Handed Nikana being different weapon types.

Only thing that about scythes that needs fixing is the range of Plague Keewar. Damn scythe had the range of a dagger.

reaper prime is busted, anymore "rework" and there'd be a tear in the 4th wall

IMO we need heavy scythes, like how there are Nikana and heavy Nikana.

I forgot warframe was a thing.

A better comparison would be "pickaxe." And since the Anku is puncture-based all it needs is a vertical swing instead of a horizontal one

After the precedent started by Tatsu creating the two-handed nikana category, I have to agree: we should get some two-handed scythe weapons at some point! I mean it's not like the power creep could get any worse

[Jarriaga]

They got buffed all the way to Pluto and back with Melee 2.9. Their range and damage were the things holding them back before.

I don't think the proposed rework (Merging them into the heavy weapon category) will be necessary anymore.

I would however appreciate a two-handed scythe stance, just like the Dokrahm. Make them visually larger as well even if their effective range stays the same.

[(PSN)robotwars7]

statistically they can keep up with all the other melees now, but visually, larger Scythes in future would be nice, and I like the idea others have proposed of a "heavy Scythe" category. that would be more work than just making a nice Scythe Skin though.

ah damn, what a shame...

Scythes are faster and are more comfortable to use now than before.

And this is ignoring their stat changes so that they become god-like bleeding tools.
