Throwing Weapons?
|
Iv got regenerating axes in my wood shed.
You jelly? Lots of games have throwing weapons though :/ Its not like its a huge step adding the ability to throw your axe or sword or face. D3 also has this as im aware. Cheaper than free... Speedtree

Hm.. maybe make some weaps like Bolas, Net etc. for slow/cripple/poisen dmg types. Needs to be picked up again after use, or brought back -as stated- via skill.
Maybe even make it a move with nice dmg, but chance to break item, so one has to consider if its worth it. |

" I always thought the ensnare skill from TQ was pretty cool. It was nice to have a skill where if the monster was running diagonal or across the screen you'd have to throw the net at the exact moment or it would completely miss them. I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where I intended to go |

I would definitely say yes to throwing weapons (or throwing skills). They do add a lot more variety to the gameplay. Realism doesn't really matter in ARPG style games. Whatever makes it enjoyable is what counts. Even though only javelins were any good in D2, if you want an example of well implemented and fun throwing skills I would check out the D2 mod Median XL (my alltime favorite mod). The javelin, throwing knife, and throwing axe skill trees were all well done, diverse, and really fun.

Just had a thought about the suggested use of boomerangs with a sharp end and a blunt end (for catching). Problem is the thing is whirling end over end and I get this mental image of the thrower standing there looking at the remains of his fingers after grabbing the wrong end ;)
I used to be apathetic, now I just don't care.

Maybe there could be extra slot for throwing weapons ,but for ones that are used for off effect not for damage like ensnare , poison spear for example. That way In PvP first step would be using that item on your enemy and then using other skills.
Well i personally dont know if i would want them ,but its better to have more types of weapons. By the way why are you guys talking about realism..? this is arpg game.. have you ever seen a guy jumping 3 meters up and when landing crushing ground under him? why dont you complain about that its unrealistic duh?.. That was just me being sarcastic ,but for real stop talking about realistic stuff this is a game... Repent! That's what i'm talking about!

" That's an interesting idea, kind of like in Troy the movie where they throw spears before they use their swords. Realism is not really that important for these type of games, it just makes me laugh when people bring it up. RIP Bolto
