FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't know about you guys, but I would personally like a spear of some sort in Warframe. Not the thin, delicate bladed spears used to poke holes in armor, and not a huge, sweeping spear like the guan dao, but a balance between the two. Not sure what it would be called though. We already have two handed swords and axes, so why not a spear that can cut and pierce your enemies? I'm not sure how it could/would be implemented into Warframe, but I think it could be pretty cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shion963 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 A Glaive? (no srsly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive) I agree, I'd personally love to see a short spear/lance of some sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I know exactly how you feel. Thank you for being accurate. But then, we must keep in mind that we are playing Ninja Wizards in Space the Game. I am glad that someone else shares a viewpoint of mine.

FunkyEntropy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think a spear could be pretty nifty as a niche utility weapon. Basic attack is a armor piercing stab. Quick, low damage (25~35 maybe), longest reach in the game (to the point of it not working against enemies that you're right next to). Charge attack is a wide, sweeping strike. No AP. low dmg (55), not the widest reach but hits everything around you (full 360). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordofTibera Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 It is my every hope that one day a polearm gets added, like a bardiche or something. I love those kinds of weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Though few, this is a most wonderful chain of events. I thank each and every one of you for your support, and hopefully, someone, maybe even a dev, will take a look at this and ponder upon this question. "Why don't we have spears? We have battleaxes, dual hatchets, two handed swords, fist weapons, and even what serves as a chakram... In SPACE no less!" Once again, thank you.

ValhaHazred Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I love spears. I really hope they make it in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brane_Ded Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Would even be fun to have it's slide attack a full on piercing thrust instead of the spin that every other melee weapon already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin666 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Oh YES! And even more ninja weapons would be just awesome. Like: Dual Kamas, Shoge hook, Kusari-gama etc.. And the spear ofc. -Peace- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thank you all. This is most wonderful, as this may be an idea that may one day come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davoodoo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If spears/glaives gonna swing like bo or amphis then no i dont want them. If there gonna be more spins then im eagerly awaiting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotreallyNo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yes please. Hopefully something with a stab-stab-swing combo. With the stabs doing more damage and having longer range, but only hitting one enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanWyvern Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think having a spear is a great idea; I might suggest that the charge attack on a spear be a forward lunge that penetrates multiple targets directly forwards, though; other melee weapons make sideways sweeps, and many of them already hit multiple targets in a wide arc. The spear could be most useful for pushing through dense crowds, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I sincerely hope that our wishes are granted in terms of this spear/halberd. I am very anxious in these terms that someone who is in charge of weapon design or improving the game sees this and considers our opinions.

TuxPenguino Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If there is to be a spear, I think it should be able to be thrown! esp. as the charged function. Thrown and have either and ignited tip or an electricity tip that effects a small area, say 3meters with either damage type. Damage: 50 Rate of fire: 4-8 Acc: 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renkai141 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Any other unique type of weapons are good.Feels like there are too many (dual) or a heavy set amount of weapons that are somewhat repetitive.Hopefully spears and different sorts of weapons do come soon.

FellArtorias Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) It is most reassuring to see these wonderful opinions. In response to Renkai141, the new "Glaive" that came out with yesterday's update is in fact a very good chance that new weapon types will be thrown into the game. Granted, it is a throw-back to Dark Sector, but it bears good tidings for new types of weapons. Some of us are hoping for energy weapons like the Corpus use. Maybe they'll even make the spear out of energy, if incorporated at all. Again, it is but hopeful conjecture in response to positive opinions, but I thought I'd let all of you know.

Captator Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Naginata, Nagamaki, Hozoin Cross Spear Naginta: sweeping shoulder to hip cuts and a thrust as a charge attack. Knockdown spin after slide/roll attack, for jump attack, have the tenno ground the butt for a shockwave like the scindo/gram/fragor, but smaller AoE. Nagamaki; originally designed to cleave through a man on horseback and the horse beneath him, while still having some polearm functionality; large horizontal slashes in a cyclic motion are the order of the day here, perhaps a thrust attack after sliding/rolling. Jump attack a vertical cut from above the head, possibly a slight propagating shockwave (line AoE) Hozoin Cross-spear; repeated thrusts, strong thrust with a small forward dash that can go through multiple enemies for charge attack, sweep with knockdown for slide/roll attack. Jump attack could be a spear-first dive forward at an enemy for vast pierce damage (commensurate with difficulty to aim/execute) These would be the most 'ninja' weapons that could be added in the polearm category.

Necrio Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Screw spears. Handheld jousting lances ftw. EDIT: then again screw tipped spears would be cool. Edited April 27, 2013 by Necrio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinlove Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The Bo is the perfect blueprint for a spear type of weapon but it does not need to be carried on the back as it is now. A collapsing Bo/Spear weapon would be easily concealed and carried very much like the artists did with the glaive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davoodoo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I would also like to add another weapon to "spear" list of wishes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_dao 1st attack: Side swing 2nd attack: Horizontal spin placing it higher 3rd attack: Finishing overhead slash Jump attack: Blade strike at same manner as gram or other heavies Charge attack: Large side sweep. base dmg 45 Attack speed 1.0 Charge dmg 175 but compensates with longer range and wider aoe radius than anything we have in arsenal already.
