DeadD59 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 To DE, will we see a buff to the Bo? It's possibly the weakest weapon in the game, only preceded by the Skana of course, well, so far at least. With Melee 2.0 coming out soon, will these old and forgotten weapons be rejuvenated and become viable once more? I would love to see additions to weapon types, see how there's only 2 polearm animation in the game... Amphis (Which is better than the Bo due to the Innate Stun bonus) & Bo (Knock down on Charge) and the Orthos Animation. We can see a huge difference in viability in these weapons. Sure the Amphis and Bo may have utility over the Orthos, who just deals raw damage. But in late-game, this viability is minute and not as great as the Orthos itself. So I am wondering or rather hoping for, whether it will be increased combo, or increased damage, that the Bo to be reworked as a weapon to fit into the up and coming U13 AKA Melee 2.0. It is a weapon that has been ignore by the community, largely, and there are some people who loves using the Bo, but can't because it is way to weak to be used. Hopefully, DE will see this post and acknowledge my consideration. They have acknowledge the fact that the new Katana was sheathed wrong in the teaser trailer for U13. If you have any suggestions, opinions, etc, please leave a comment in the comment section below. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a good day.

Kickboxing_Banana Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Simple answer: Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I hope so. In fact I hope it's made a little bit longer and enemies fly backwards a little bit when hit with the charged attack rather than just dropping to the floor. I'm hoping, again, that each weapon has been looked at and had its uniqueness addressed and reinforced. Now would be the time to do it. It would give a further purpose to having such a variety of weapons to choose from. Edited April 1, 2014 by Naith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadD59 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think we are forgetting the true unloved child here At least it has poison damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think we are forgetting the true unloved child here Deals innate toxin damage that goes through Corpus' shields. Yeah, no, the bo is still worse. But yeah, unless a Bo Prime comes out and Scott decides to buff the normal version I don't have much hope for it.

Anatolius Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah i know </3 Just like Bo users, I hope the Mire will change, even alittle I never see people use it oddly enough even though it has innate poison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Not holding my breath, but I'd love to see a bunch of weapons get buffed (Bo included) so melee isn't just "use the Galatine or you're bad". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axterix13 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Bo will most likely still be bad. It'd need new animations to properly fix it, and I doubt it'll get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnrawn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 All blunt weapons are pretty bad cus impact damage is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Considering the animations that they showed... I bet it will be a LOT more viable now. Staff has always been an effective weapon in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it. Edited April 1, 2014 by Kalenath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaTails Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That's a lot of writing just to say "plz make Bo better" lol. Joke's on me I guess for losing a minute reading it all ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Decided to start building the Bo again because it was and still is my favorite weapon I wish was worth using. I figured it's a good weapon to experience the attack animation unlocks in the new melee system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think we are forgetting the true unloved child here Considering that it's still a near-direct upgrade to the Bo, I'm gonna have to say no to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yefrign Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I hope so. but then again I'm just looking forward to the new combo moves you're gona get with it. that alone is getting me excited =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashiki Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah i know </3 Just like Bo users, I hope the Mire will change, even alittle I never see people use it oddly enough even though it has innate poison It's... pretty weak. And it only has innate poison on charge, iirc. I still love it! It's the sword I got for my Saryn way back in U7.
