c06apple Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I hope that the Dark Split-Sword, an ancient weapon, can be freely switched between giant blade/double sword mode within the mission. Otherwise, the meaning of him being able to change into two modes will be lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakkhar Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Keep hoping. Preferably do that in one of the sevaral already established topics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IndianChiefJeff Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 You don't know how badly I wish this was the case, but DE doesn't really care about the potential of hybrid/trick weaponry. If you want a game that does make full use of this concept, try Bloodborne. Perfect month for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems now it's not the time for melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojufueled Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The best way I think to implement it with existing tech is like they did with the Archon weapons. Basically, make the heavy blade form stance override the block input of the dual sword stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c06apple Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 What I envision is that during a mission, I can freely choose to use dual sword/giant blade mode based on the current situation, rather than a system that is further enhanced like Incarnon Mode.

The inherent issue with this is that Dark Split Sword changes form based on its stance mod. You can't change mods in the middle of a mission. They would have to rework the weapon considerably to accommodate this change. Many items in Warframe are experimental tech demos of sorts. DSS was an attempt at weapon modularity tied to stance mod, and it proved unpopular. The trend is that they will continue to innovate rather than go back to refine every idea that didn't take off. Sad but true. I do think there will be improvements for the Dark Split Sword in the future or at least an entirely new weapon that does something similar, but (possibly) better, but it may not be for some time. Incarnons are popular, so I can see an Incarnon melee weapon, whether DSS itself or something else, that undergoes a big functional change (almost) at-will like you want. In the case of an incarnon, it's not truly at-will and the incarnon mode is just generally better than the other, so I see how it's not really what you want, but realistically it is what is more likely.
