Title: "Sword of War"
Post by: Lange on July 09, 2012, 09:07:49 pm
No, this is not a complaint about any balance stuff. I'm using one right now, thx devs for the clan armoury! This is more of an aesthethic complaint.
The thing with the sword of war is, it's surroundings are ugly. It's an old native model, with a boring, bar-like shape and poor textures. It has a scabbard, which is not only ugly as well, but doesn't make any sense at all - you couldn't even draw your sword from there! None of the other great swords have scabbards.
Even the name, in the end, is strange - none of the swords in the game were used for cutting nails, I guess! The logical name for it "Heavy Great Sword" (since it's a longer, more "slashy" version of the great sword) is meanwhile occupied by a sword sub-par in any way - I think the amount of them owned by players (and I'm not even talking heirlooms) could be counted at the fingers of one hand.

So, a couple of suggestions:
Remove the scabbard.
Switch the names of those two swords. (Get rid of the HGS of now. You know it useless.)
Get a better model, if this is possible.

Can't agree more, but a change of model request without a model isnt gonna work.

Try to get someone here to make a new model for it, or try it yourself so this has a better shot of happening.

I'm probably just weird, but I kind of like the model. The other high end greatswords (at least the ones people actually use) tend to have more flamboyant shapes, while this one, in contrast, is simple and solid. I prefer the simpler style it has.

Agreed. However, Sword of War or War Sword is an actual class of swords. It evolved from the arming sword.

You guess wrong. A not so well known fact about the Flamberge is that it was actually designed to be a tool for intimate shaving.

Remove the scabbard.

To me that one looks a lot uglier than the standard one  :|

Always HRE guys posting against the stuff I love :/
The scabbard looks awesome in fur. I'm fine with making the metal texture nicer, though. I always use it with my barbarian character.

Because the stuff you love is gay  :lol:

Personally I hate all the 2h Scabbards, Mainly because they are just stuck (glued) on the back with no visible strap or anything, it looks hideous. If they gave them a strap that went over the front of your body, like the kind a shield has when it is put on your back it would be so much better.

That's because you are a nitpicking jerk.

No, just that I don't like fantasy looking crap covered in gold (no offence to final boss and his awesome work) but gimme a plain sword anyday. but thats just my opinion, just because yours is different it doesn't make me a nitpicking jerk, idiot!   :rolleyes:

I love its brutal clunky look. It's my second choice weapon for my 2h after Miaodao which I only choose for stylistic reasons  :)

Sounds like a good deal.
I however really like the Sword, the scabbard is also not that bad imo and the sword itself is stat-wise and by his appearance also a nice sword and something different compared to Danish/German Greatsword which you see everywhere...

Wish someone would make it so that all the 2h scabbards used the highland claymore one.

Claiming that one I've shown is "a lot uglier than the standard one", when in reality Final_boss's texture quality is superior to default texure, makes you a big jerk.

It may not fit your style, but it's definitely not uglier than before.

Just because something has a high quality texture it doesn't mean that it cannot be ugly. HOWEVER as I've said before this is just my opinion, If you feel differently thats great, I couldn't care less. But don't call me a 'big jerk' just because I disagree with what you class as pretty, it just makes you sound like a thick twat who doesn't understand that people can share different views on things, it doesn't mean that 1 person is right and the other is wrong, it is just difference of opinion.

Keep it, but remove katana from cRPG.

Everybody wins.
