New weapon type suggestions

Crossbow with arrows would be epic

 

Dual wield two different types of axes. Double the weapons, double the fun!

 

It would be cool but it means more callbacks which in turn can lower performance.

 

People already dual-equip their weapons, but in an unintended way using Pirate class. Instead of dual-equipping guns, they dual-equip non-gun weapons. Not sure if AE's patched that trick though.

But I don't think callbacks and performance is the issue. If it was, then we wouldn't have a dual-wielding class like Pirate, because gun weapons are just like any other weapon.

 

They haven't patched the dual wield bug yet. Just saw someone today using it.

 

That trick is still in game. I am pretty sure Roxas used it on AE developer stream yesterday. It should appear on the VOD at some point when Korin is AFKing in AQ3D. If callbacks are no issue and with that the performance changes caused by them, we would have more callbacks already in that form compared the amount we have right now.

 

But what makes a dual-wielded gun weapon (Pirate class) different from any other weapon (all of the other class) besides one being dual-wielded and the other being single-wielded? It's not like most of the other weapons are going to have animations. And I believe they're making Berserker class a dual-wielded class (hopefully not limited to a weapon type) anyway, so it probably won't become an issue.

 

Pirate technically uses single-wielded guns but they just get mirrored. Berserker has a duel-wield auto attack animation and it can use all weapon types besides guns. Just like Pirate, Berserker mirrors weapons it uses. That trick is no longer needed when Berserker comes out.

 

That is if Berserker class doesn't follow the same limitation as Pirate class to one weapon type. I don't see the reason why though since every non-gun weapon are just melee weapons rather than range weapons, unless they make up a silly reason for Berserker to only wield one specific weapon type. Especially considering that the Beta Berserker craft shop has a variety of melee weapons from swords to axes, I think it's likely Berserker class will be able to dual-wield those weapons.

 

It wouldn't make sense Berserker to be limited to one weapon type while those Beta Berserker weapons exist.
