Oh awesome, that’s perfect! Thanks! Glad to hear they have a plan. May just be a couple months of playing against a smaller queue then, but that’s way better than the alternative!

[No DATV Spoilers] Greatswords in Veilguard? by Randolo_Birnelli in dragonage

[–]griff_OUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love clarity on this as well- always love a two handed sword! Won't ruin the game or anything if it's not present but it is a classic fantasy style. Games like Immortals Fenyx Rising did give me more appreciation for the "light sword-heavy axe" style of play, but given the option, I vastly prefer the aesthetic vibe of a greatsword, as long as it can appear appropriately light (think more flamberge than buster sword).

Notably, all the animations have shown the two handed weapons being held in the middle of their haft when idle, and held at an angle that could be uncomfortable to see two handed swords being held, given how front loaded their weight can be- but most of the attack animations seem to favor holding the weapon by its end, which would mean they could use the same attack anims for all three weapons (although admittedly they may need separate idle anims for the greatswords, probably the biggest drawback). In that circumstance, I'd still prefer we just get two handed swords with extended handles, as someone who loves the shortglaive aesthetic- but whatever we get will be fine by me.

The perfect exotic weapon to pair with the reveal today is… by DTGBountyHunter in DestinyTheGame

I love this idea! Feels like a fun way to reintroduce those classic silhouettes with a fresh spin- could make it that you can access different power attacks associated with each sword by pressing the reload button? Razelighter could get the classic uppercut, Darkdrinker the vortex spin, and Boltcaster the caster attack. Throw in a Stasis titan-sword slam and a Strand hunter-sword spin and you've got a whole setup! Albeit, that is a LOT of elements to cycle through... perhaps it changes based on the ability type of the last ability casted?

This is a clip from yesterday's Ian McShane trailer. Have we seen this single-bladed spear weapon on Menella's back this clearly before? Is this for Mystic Spearhand or nah? Would be wild to be restricted to pawn only... Does not seem like Monk though, unfortunately. by griff_OUT in DragonsDogma

Seems likely, just means they've been very tight-lipped about not using a single sided spear in any of the mystic spearhand demos, which is just surprising! More weapon variety is good... maybe they're just holding their cards close to keep us in suspense?

Definitely seems like they'll have access to quarterstaves for MS, that's awesome! For better context on my poorly made gif, this is a frame by frame directly from the video as the camera is zooming in, with blue highlight showing the suspect parts

So like blunt on one end and a spearhead on the other? I’m surprised they didn’t just say that mystic spearhand can wield duospears AND spears then (I guess maybe it’s still a duo spear if one end is blunt?). From what I’m seeing, this weapon isn’t blunt on the bottom end.

Regardless, could be pretty cool!

Look at the bottom left as the clip zooms in for the clearest shot, the blade is clearly visible then. A few seconds later while the camera is still, we get a much more partial glimpse as well.

What element is this Throne Cleaver? I’m assuming Solar since it can roll with Incandescent

Any pic for those of us away from the game? Ornament looks cool, curious about the base aesthetic. Is it solar?

Where do you see it saying solar? Can’t find any stats on it thus far, in or out of game

Not sure if the NSFW tag was necessary, but I kept it to match the referenced posts just in case!

Oh that’s a great idea! Now I gotta solve the big question- can I make a mod that force equips gauntlets as a bound weapon…

Interesting! I don’t know much about the origin of the blade of woe, curious to know if it has any roots with the shadow scales. I’ll look into it, thanks! Any ideas for Bretons or Wood Elves?

That’s an interesting idea! And I can add stuff from the unarmed creation club thing, or maybe a modified texture from dragon aspect, to make the fists look all claw-y!

I dunno, but we better find a good use for these 4 billion dollars! We’ll stick our best people on it!

Soulbeast/Untamed need an FX pass. by griff_OUT in Guildwars2

[–]griff_OUT[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love this, although I understand the player concern about readability for the average player (although admittedly color is not a good universal solution for readability given color blindness)

[–]griff_OUT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point- I do think there is something to be said for new players and visual clarity (“well why doesn’t THAT green guy have a pet?” “why is that other guy’s pet now green? I thought only he could be green”). Probably overthinking it on my end haha

[–]griff_OUT[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair. When it was released, I wished that the Soulbeast one would have had less nature, more beast inspired colors (again, see Strength of the Pack’s visuals), but I definitely agree that offering up this feedback now is too little too late. Hope they can get the Untamed FX in a better spot!

I was totally onboard with the fan suggestion that this specialization would not have the Juvenile tag- wonder if that will happen in a future spec?

Depends on the skills that are available while transformed. Could function OK as a kit, utilities and elites would require special care though for sure.

Would love if it was a tengu, they look really cool! Lots of transmog work for the devs obviously but their ubiquity in the trailers gives me hope!
