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.

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  Shocked And maybe with some skull particles too!~

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.

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.

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. :-)

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.
