Innokeni Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It seem like this games adding a lot of melee weapons and I want to suggest adding a scythe or something scythe-ish For starters the light attack could act. Like a pick axe vertical swing and the combo of the light attack would be a up down diagonal attack, and the Heavy attack could be a full half circle attack.

Lichthammer Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 cresent scythe with plasma blade... that would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyanide Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) A scythe would be pretty sweet- what about doing it sort of DarkSiders 2 style? A scythe in each hand with normal attacks only able to hit single targets, then for the charge attack your Frame takes a second to link them together at the base for a full 360 degree clearout? The animation for the Bo charge attack comes to mind, where your Frame sort of brings the weapon in close to his hip before swinging horizontally. It could be a hybrid playstyle of Dual Skanas and Scindo. Edited January 17, 2013 by psyanide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not like: 1) Too much picking idea from DarkSiders 2 2) I never liked the fact I couldn't use a REAL scythe, I mean, one big scythe is definitely more badass than 2 little scythes occasionally forming a big one. Even though, I like the idea of an hybrid weapon, fast lights, really slow charge. I'm all in for this, I want to be a Deathbringer on the battlefield!

Kingdrake Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 this isn't darksiders 2.... mobile suit gundam deathscyth! Yeah I did not like psyanide suggestion. I'm ALL for gundam deathscythe, with the graphics in this game it would be an eye-gasm to see a plasma scythe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyanide Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'll bet that had I not made the DS2 reference (which was merely for clarity's sake) I would have been met with more open minds... Anywhoo, so far I have not seen any available weapons that appear to use plasma or energy tech of any kind, so I figured the conceptual direction for WarFrame melee weaponry would be solely based on cold steel. Your conventional two handed scythe really isn't a practical weapon - plus it just looks clunky to me - merely matter of opinion on that point, though. As for people saying "this isn't darksiders"... Yeah, very astute of you. Thanks. I might have wandered forever in ignorance without your pointing out of the obvious. Shall I turn the nail and state "this isn't a crappy 80's anime?" Honestly. I figured we would try for some variety rather than a straight Scindo reskin, which is what the giant crescent scythe idea essentially is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt_Cruelerz Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It does seem odd to me that the bio-armored Tenno have conventional bullets and swords rather than more advanced things. I mean, the only advanced weapon we seem able to carry is the Plasma Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh c'mon I expressed two opinion, of which "copying from darksiders 2" was the minor one. Well we have Plasma sword, so I suppose we could have a scythe that works kind of like it. Also, I seriously dislike the "two scythes" thing, it doesn't represent the real purpose of a scythe: An heavy (not heavy like the Axe) weapon capable of long range hits with its big blade, and with proper animating it shouldn't be "clunky", it all depends on how it's done (see Vindictus, the scythe character has some nice moves). P.s.: "crappy 80's anime"? Gundam was AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, except I think that, as much as I love the combo system in that game, IMO they just do not belong to Death too. C'mon it is DEATH, badass guy with this soul-ripping scythe, not a freaking ninja (yup dual mini scythes are a ninja weapon). Sorry for the OT.

psyanide Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lolz OK OK no mini scythes. I didn't know about the plasma sword until now so that was my ignorance showing through there. My pet peeve with Gundam was that 3/4 of the way in everyone seemed to go kinda emo and wanted to kill each other, which made little sense to me when I watched it and kinda ruined the story imho - I probably missed something in the plot. They also wasted a lot of time showing people being amazed and yelling "GUNDAM" at the top of their lungs right before getting stomped. What is it with anime and people stopping to admire S#&$ right before it kills them and all their friends? N Death wasn't exactly the classic conception of DEATH in that game. But they had to tone it down a bit (a LOT) or your character would have just been OP, walking around killing everything by simply touching them. They had to do a unique take on him, so they made him a 'ninja' and gave him 'ninja scythes' as his go to &#! kicking device. I'm only realizing now that I might be in the minority in thinking that the concept worked. Tenno kind of have the ninja thing going on too so I just figured that it could be implemented... Then again maybe not. A big ol' scythe with some type of energy for a blade could be interesting - perhaps have it activate only once you hit that melee key then return to dormant state as it reattaches to its holster?

Labcat Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I would like it if the Scythe had more of a spinning attack animation, compared to the sword. Edited January 26, 2013 by Labcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiku Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I really hope that the devs would use more imagination when designing weapons. It's not interesting at all if all the weapons we got are basic modern weapons. I want scythes into this game. And able to dual wield them. I want gunblades. And laser axes that get bigger with each hit. I want exlosive barrels throwing cannons. And plasma whips. I want to be able use a shield module launcher that creates small shield domes where ever they land. And railguns, and bows and boomerangs.
