FatRefrigerator Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would like to toss out the possibility of having a shield be implemented into the game to add another dynamic to the teamplay element. Not sure how the logistics of it would work out but i think it should be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerusKI Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 whats with frost's shield? i think what he means is some kind of weapon that you can carry around like the shielded grineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseHasLeafs Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ohh I see. Like a riot shield thingy? Warframe is more of a run or gun thing though, I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I've actually needed to take cover during a mission. If there was, I doubt anyone would use it.

Strac_CRO Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Some warframes have "energy shield skills" while only some grineers unit have real shield. It's good as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerusKI Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 maybe bullet blocking with some weapons would be an alternative way of implementing a shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Chaser Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 shields are for scrubs! and F*** poise! if you can't evade being staggered - learn to play. zero poise ftw! ah wait.. wrong forum. but yeah, since we are supposed to be ninjas i can't see any reaon why we should use it. ninjas rely on tools, poison and blade and their promary job is to assasinate or to spy. i can't imagine ninjas in havel armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neKroMancer Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There was an idea around the forum about using your melee weapon (well, at least not the fragor and scindo) to reflect the bullet while closing in toward your victims. I think it's quite good. Shield as melee weapon is fine if your frame has some sort of agro-drawing power which currently no frame has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatRefrigerator Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 that's terrible suggestion (from manga/anime cartoons) Deadpool from X-Men blocks bullets with his sword. It's in a movie, based on a cartoon, but not an anime one, so its different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malikon Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) No ninja ever had 1 sheild... Ever! Correct. All real ninjas dual wield shields. Edited February 1, 2013 by Malikon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyuTheTrinity Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Correct. All real ninjas dual wield shields. tobad we arnt ninjas we are assasins each with our own style rino has huge body armor and moves slow and all the ulties make basicly huge flashy explosions its a game about assasins each with uniqu style a riot shield that replaces your rifle would be totaly viable SIDE NOTE ninja's used concealed weapons because owning weapons was illegal at their time and place we use rifles and huge hammers AND AXES duel axes long swords and pistols nothing we use is a hand made weapon that can be easly consealed and look liek standerd farm tools Edited February 1, 2013 by MoyuTheMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikon Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It would add another level of complexity and the shield itself could be used as a crowd control. Sprinting into something with your shield out knocking them down and then shield bashing the guy standing next to him and knocking him back/off-balance. Yum. Regardless of damage done, the control possibilities are fun and useful if tastefully done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbyte Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Replace melee weapon with shield. When your rifle is out, your shield is on your back. When you use your pistol, your movespeed is reduced significantly and your shield comes out. Meleeing in this state will give you a short range shield bash. You lose tactical versatility with no melee-on-demand, but you gain a huge strategic advantage; especially with team coordination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea a lot, but one thing to consider would be the option of having a shield and a sword out at the same time which would add a new dynamic. However I also like to entertain the idea that if you replaced your shield with a melee weapon, you could stick your shield into the ground and use it as a deployable cover almost; thus enabling you to use your rifle while your shield is in the ground. (Calm down all you Volt users, I'm WELL aware that you can make a deployable energy shield, y'all never shut up about it.) A very out-there idea would also be that you could aim your shield in such a way that allies could use it as a platform to jump off of, to either get somewhere high up or to begin a wall run or something of that sort.

Nephera Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I would dual wield shields and shield bash all day given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
