Title: T9 Weapons Post by: zefirus on July 28, 2014, 02:21:25 pm The weapons are missing Heroic Stats as seen in T8 and elemental damage.
Also, I was looking at Akkadius' mass weapon and spell viewer from EQEMU (http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37652), it was awesome, but begs the question why we do not use some of these. The T9 Weapons look like rusty swords etc. There are some crazy nice weapons out there we can skin to. Not sure how much trouble it is to actually re-skin a weapon, but if its just a matter of attaching a graphic id to an item, then lets look at doing this if possible.

Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Kruciel on July 28, 2014, 04:57:56 pm I'd like my UW XI to turn into a rainbow boomerang graphic that shoots off giant particles, but the particles must be green and black to match my outfit :o And maybe with some skull particles too!~
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Brannyn on July 28, 2014, 05:09:03 pm good portion of those are from HoT and up so they would have to be put into the server files and everyone would probably have to download them to view.
Also, totally gotta agree with kruciel. Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Rent Due on July 28, 2014, 08:22:59 pm can I get a sword that looks like a unicorn with Burt and Ernie screwing on is back and when you swing the sword a grafic comes out of a rainbow with the words power pride ?

Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Phah on July 28, 2014, 09:12:06 pm It's worth noting that, in most older games, you can replace art asset files with a different asset, using the same file name, and you'll get to see your custom weapon in your games. Its just that no one else will get to enjoy your awesomeness.
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: zefirus on July 28, 2014, 10:38:27 pm I think it would be cool. Ez did stuff like that with our 4.0 epics... Some were nice
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: aythena on July 29, 2014, 01:53:28 pm graphics on the epic weapons were better these skins are horrible looking -_- tier 6 weapons are so dull its not even funny...

Zefirus, The heroic stats should've been fixed. I will review them today. :-) As for the appearance, why? I hate to break it to you, but the appearance of the T9 items was intentional. It wasn't a "lazy" decision or a copy/paste nonsense. The weapons are generally similar to the zone. Abyss has water and sea-creatures, thus we added atlantis looking swords/pikes and somewhat coral looking items. T6 is a dull, colorless place so the weapons are dull and mostly colorless. T9 is in the past and very bland, so the weapons are as well. We'll consider much more "colorful" zones in the future. :-) -Hate Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Quarg on July 29, 2014, 02:10:31 pm I can't speak for everyone, but I think it's partially because weapon graphics are the only thing on your character that ever looks different. I get the design decision with weapons matching the zones, I'd guess its just the desire to have some cool looking weapons.

The explanation works for me. Thanks. I appreciate your fix on the stats.. that's what really matters.

Your wizard does good sir! Just from the end you sit on! Quote I can't find the Transmorgrify vendor.... Just to keep it simple....he means Transgender vendor.... :P Oh.. and I have asked for the Blue flamed Pally swords to be brought back many times. I would be down for it. Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Fugitive on July 29, 2014, 05:32:21 pm Oh.. and I have asked for the Blue flamed Pally swords to be brought back many times. I would be down for it. Pretty sure you meant "Go down for it" just saying.. everyone knows you... and just like krincle.. The current Norrath STD outspread is because of you two. Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Mixlor on July 29, 2014, 05:33:33 pm Lol
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Kruciel on July 30, 2014, 07:05:18 am Now now we get Krincle tested on a weekly basis ;D
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: zefirus on July 30, 2014, 10:55:34 am Wow, this thread really hit the toilets :o At least Fugi has a new sig from it.
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: WatchYouDie on July 30, 2014, 12:45:25 pm please add heroic and ele dmg to weapons
Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: zefirus on July 31, 2014, 09:14:35 am please add heroic and ele dmg to weapons Hate mentioned he would look into it. Also, 1HB T9 Healing weapon is Pal/SHM/CLR. I would change paladin to druid please. I can get the item ID when I get home. Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: Quarg on July 31, 2014, 07:12:59 pm Quote Hate mentioned he would look into it. Also, 1HB T9 Healing weapon is Pal/SHM/CLR. I would change paladin to druid please. I can get the item ID when I get home. It's the same with one of the 1hb weapons in HoH, there is only one weapon that drops there a druid can equip, and its a 2h staff. Edit: vvvv I think you misread my post. Title: Re: T9 Weapons Post by: zefirus on July 31, 2014, 07:41:44 pm I use the t8 1hb that is clr dru and shm.. So your incorrect in that Druid only uses 2hb
... I did misread. I am only looking at t9. I don't think a pal is needing 1hb in t9 but Druid would... Also sk/pal 1 hander in t9 so they are good.. I guess same can be done in t3 |
