i think that a lot of weapons(for example the poleaxe) don't fully use there abilities. with the poleaxe you can do thrust and swing and thats fine but with the swing you only use the bladed side of the weapon, while you could also use the hammerish thing at the other end. so my idea is that you could switch some weapons to another sort of damage, with the poleaxe that would be from cut to blunt damage. i don't know if the blunt weapon form should have knockdown but that is discusable. also the most apropriate button for the switch would be "x". i know this would be a pretty mayor change in cRPG but it's an idea. i don't mind critecism, so burst loose about the bad sides about this idea.
this is my idea guys, i hope you like it :mrgreen:

if it will be balanced why not?
anyway why we can use 2h swards in polearm mod???
i want use some polearms in 2h mood
-
ye, that's a good idea too!

Click x again and your polarm-sword becomes 2H-sword.

We've been hoping for this kind of thing for a very long time. Such weapon as poleaxe and bec de corbin should be something you can turn around. Unfortunately there appears to be some engine restriction for this. If anyone can get around that then it's chadz.

i'll try to PM him about it.

.... i know that....
-
who doesn't?!
though i never see anyone use the mode.(neither do i)
-
+1! I wanna turn that beast poleaxe around!
-
that would be an epic thing to add in and i dont get why the 2h sword can now be a 2h polearm it sucks
-
i dont like the idea, 1hand would need a buff too otherwise it sucks alot for 1hand users.

Who cares? Get rid of one handers while you're at it! POWER HUNGRY FUN!

lol?
On topic:
It would be awesome to do this, but I think the model won't turn around, so it would be silly.
-
This idea as been discussed before but I think it was decided not to do this because it would require (well if you don't want it to look funky) the weapon model being turned around and this isn't possible in game...I think that was the conclusion.
On the note about the 2handers polearm mode
I think most pole arms should get a 2handed mode just to make it even and,
and I think most one handers should get a 2handed mode! I mean what weapon can you hold in one hand but not in two?
Of course leave some that don't have duel modes and maybe make the alternate mode a little worse than the originals.
-
making 1h turn into 2h would be epic
-
If it worked it would be already in the game. Sadly, the "next item as melee" flag doesn't switch models (a mirrored one in this case)
-
But with the game mechanics work around tool which was developed could this not be possible?
-
i guess so but i'm not an expert in that catagory :D
-
really good idea i think. why dont poll it? my vote is positive ;) and 2h mode for some poles makes sense too. actually different wpfs for melee weapons doesnt makes sense for me D: think that different wpfs for throwing axes and javelins, how absurd.
-
We could make the 1handers switchable too, you could flip them around so you hold on to the bladed end and hit people with the hilt for some cushthrough blunt damage!

Srsly though, we should also make all weapons thowable. I want to be able to skewer someone with a sword of war at 5m range

yes but if you hit a tincan with it and he didnt die you would then be weaponless
-
That is Ure prob then but the idea is very nice
+1

Throwable weapons can't be done currently because something about primarily melee weapons not being able to switch to throwing. They would have to make them all throwing weapons and have melee as the secondary mode. This would also get rid of half swording and other duel use weapons..
Most of my posts are secondary knowledge I've seen all sorts of ideas get put up and shot down for one reason or another ^.^
I'm also not a fan of the what if WSE tool can do it! I think I'll wait until i see what it can do before I accept that as valid.
-
and i think throwing weapons should be able to block in both modes
-

Yeah cause throwing is not effective at all as it is.
-
I remember talk on the official forums a while ago about making spears single shot throwing weapons because 2 handers gained halfswording, and I think it was said that it is possible but due to how the game handles weapons with a throwing tag it would have to begin the round in throwing mode.
Then there would be a steady stream of whine from new spearmen and those who dont read patch notes along the lines of 'waaaa, I bought dis new polearm and when i wanted to hit the guy my guy throwed it away :cry:' and as far as I can remember that was the only reason it didn't get added.

I hate the idea to have more hammers that are swinging through the air. Hammer is the new trend i think. People running around only overhead with their hammer all the time.
No. Don´t like it. Use long Maul if you want a long hammer.
I think clicking x with long maul and have it swing like a poleaxe would be crazy too. So i dont like the long axe to be hitting like a long maul. no no no .... pls ! Not more hammers !

Well I don't want that overpowered 2handers get their filthy hands on my bec and use it effectively :evil:. Also history knows "halfswording", but not "2Hwpfawesomespampolearming" 8-). Though it would be hilarious to have pike using 2H animations! Imagine lolztab with pike :mrgreen:
