biostem Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Really, we just need a "thrown weapon" set, with knives, shuriken, kunai, glass/crystal shards, etc, as selectable projectiles. Or, at the very least, can we please have a "no body spines", (so hand/forearm only), and no redraw options for spines?

Shadowsleuth Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I still want to see @Lyris idea for 2 new powersets, Flechettes (for small hurled items (like Shurikens)) & Thrown Weapons (for large hurled items that ricochet & return to you (like Boomerang, Chakram, etc...)). https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/16340-shuriken-throw-set/page/2/#comment-212517 1 2 New Costume Pieces Request Thread New Weapon & Shield Models Request Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Monkey Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) I've always wanted a throwing set: shirkens, granades (or exploding shirkens), etc. Attacks should include debuffs and light control powers. Green Goblin would be my basic model... flying skateboard/scooter included. But add a staff strapped to my back, that I pull out when I jump off the scooter and enter full acrobat/melee mode. This game doesn't really meet the model/engine requirements, but the concept in my head would play like a dominator but with better tools to mimic the mobility of the flying scooter.

I do think power customization with an existing set is the way to go. Arrows, Trick arrows, and devices all fit nicely into ninja sets once power customization allows more ninja-like animations (shuriken and bomb throwing versus shooting arrows). I'm kind of thinking that it would be easy to implement some shuriken powers as P2W temp powers if not used as alternate animations/SFX for the archery and trick arrow sets. We already have : 1) Envenomed daggers 2) Hand Grenades 3) Smoke Flash 4) Stun Grenades The hand grenades are a bit on the edge as far as ninja, but the other three for sure can easily fit into the ninja tool kit. The Dominator>martial assault isn't too be overlooked as it has several shuriken attacks - https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Martial_Assault The ones that I have marked below are all shuriken attacks. Power level Effect Shuriken Throw 1 Ranged, Minor DMG(Lethal) Thunder Kick 2 Melee, Moderate DMG(Smash), Minor Disorient Trick Shot 4 Ranged, Chain Moderate DMG (Lethal) Spinning Kick 10 Melee Cone, Moderate DMG(Smash), Knockdown Envenomed Blades 16 Self +Toxic Damage on all attacks Dragon's Tail 20 PBAoE Melee, Moderate DMG(Smash), Foe Knockdown Caltrops 28 Ranged (Location AoE), Minor DoT(Lethal), Foe -Speed Masterful Throw 35 Sniper, Extreme DMG(Lethal), Chance for DoT (Lethal) Explosive Shuriken 38 Ranged, Superior DMG(Fire), Minor Splash Damage (Fire DoT) Edited January 4, 2022 by UltraAlt "shuriken attacks" replacing "martial arts attacks" If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

For which I am grateful. Again some of us are left hand dominant when it comes to weapons. Yet I write with my right hand. I'm weird,basically. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roleki Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 On the one hand, a shuriken-based set sounds awesome. On the other hand, I don't think the world is ready for Cone Warfare. 1 Anything you can have, we have it. Even got a devil in the attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
