Staff Weapon Cosmetic Addition: Event Horizon

[mad_foot_sr]

Would it be possible to add an Event Horizon duel-ended weapon to the staff fighting weapons options? This is in a few of the other melee choices. Color selection could remain the same. I (personally) have had more than a few people say this addition would make them very happy. It would  make myself happy also. This would open up many Toon options!

 

Thanks for your time & consideration.

The staff fighting weapon named 'STUDDED' has an apparent studded, bludgeoning object added to both ends of the staff. This would make it 'appear' to be a duel-ended weapon. Thus, the duel-ended Event Horizon staff weapon would not seem to be to much of a stretch.

I’m not sure what you mean by Event Horizon… is that like the lightsaber thing?

 

 If so, I think the reason it hasn’t been done is there are multiple staff animations that grab fairly close to the end, so an energy blade with that animation wouldn’t make much sense.

Yes, it's the 'lightsaber' thing. Many player's were just wondering & always looking for 'A New Hope' (pun intended). Maybe just give it a shot in the 'Beta' first. See what happens and how many people approve/disapprove or like/dislike.

 

I 100% am glad you took the time to address this issue. Thank you. I pass this information, and more, on to others.

I don't say this to be mean or anything: the word you wanted was "dual", meaning two of something; "duel" is when two people fight, so they're probably from the same root linguistically. 

 

I only bring this up because this was one of the first posts I read after I woke up and was mightily confused for a little bit.  😄

I am in favour of adding an "event horizon" into the game, but as a staff that's infinitely long. It still has the same range as normal, but it just clips through everything.

Only if anything that crosses it gets lost forever.

Moved the thread to Suggestions and Feedback.

 

To contribute to the thread I bring some visuals:

 

Here is the VK-99 Event Horizon Sword

 

The next closest thing would be a Tech Staff

Start of the energy blade section would need to account for various grip positions in different animations. At least, I would want it to. That said, hey, maybe only the last foot on each end of the staff gets to be an energy blade. That would still do a heck of a job on most foes.  I mean, you as the staff user would still have to resign yourself to it doing no more damage than someone else who's twirling a pool cue, because weapon looks doesn't mean jack in terms of damage output.  But just that tech staff, double-sided, would still go a long way for some folks.
