Swordsman Archive

Guys the Dark Ages are over. It's STAR WARS...... Give us something besides big cleavers.

Ok Ok the Power Hammer is a bit more, but not enough. We need something RADICAL that will melt through armor and slice someone in half.

How about the Industrial Two Handed Laser ( designed for welding DuraSteel ).

That should even things up a bit.

THANK YOU!!! VERY TRUE... i have no idea why im swinging around a Ketana around in year 390481349

I Want A Heavy Two Handed Vibro Sword!

Or Evin A Chain Sword (Chain Saw Sword... if you have ever played warhammer 40k you know what im talking about)

Or Maby A Melting Blade (this sword gets white hot... the Sword It Self would be made out of a metle with the highest melting point... duh).

How about they just let us use lightsabers.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not. We aren't Jedi obviously, so we can't use light sabers.

But I can't fathom why we are limited to 15th century Earth Basedtechnology.

I envision the 2handed swordsman as the commando of melee weapons. We should have high powered weapons which require a lot ofstrength to use, and which do massive damage.

There is something about the Mail to Devs:

Sword for Swordmen - Swordmen would like to see more swords offered to their profession. Right now the starting weapon for the swordman tree is an axe.

More Sword are on the way!

P.s. We want to see ELITE sword ...

Of course i love this idea:
http://www.blades-uk.com/images/products/30000_L.jpg ---> the 2nd one cos the 1st it's to similar at a Curved. I want to see a double blade techno sword!

And i hope to find in some patch a sword w/ stats similar at the PH in order of stats usage modifier (2handed curved uses much more stats than a power hammer) w/ speed and dmg similar at a 2handed curved

[email protected] unsliced could be a good weapon

Actually i'm using a custom 2handed for PvP ... crafted by Tio (The Avatar Master Weaponsmith).
It grant a lot of damage (max dmg 300 w/o power-up), w/ low action usage (58).

W/ a good power-up (even crafted by Tio) i can only use -98 stats w/ ToHit3 ... best ever IMHO.

Fell free to contact me in game .. on Bloodfin of course.

P.s. sry for my ORRIBLE English

It's not the future guys.

"A long time ago..."

But yah I'd like to use a power sword instead of a thunder... er power hammer.

Yes Chain Swords would rock. Also, our power Weapons should really have a nice Blue/Green glow to them and mabye a nice effect when they hit.

I thought the power Hammer woul dmabye have some effects, but i tried it last night and nothing.

If we do get Chainswords, i want the Double Sided Chaos Variety! I love those.

Some new swords would be cool. Some more advanced and damaging swords would be awsome.

While I've heard the request for a Vibro Sword often, I wanna see some different paths taken. Give us an Electro-Sword that does electrical damage (like the long vibro axe) or a Flaming sword that does heat damage. I also like the idea of special damage weapons having a visual effect. A flaming sword should burn or an Electro-Sword should have archs coursing the blade and the swords themselves shouldn't look like katanas or broadswords. Be a little more imaginative. A flame sword with a kriss blade would be cool or have nodes (much like those on a bowcaster) on the wide pomel guard of an Electro-sword from which the archs iminated. Some sort of liquid sword (maybe acid) would be useful as well as the chain sword mentioned in other posts. Its a long time ago in a galaxy far away...Anything is possibile!

Also, I don't mind the axes...in fact I like the idea of axes, just not the look or function of the ones we have currently. The 2-Handed axe looks great, but the Vibro axe looks like a camp hatchet I had in the boy scouts (and does only slightly more damage). Come on! Your sony and Lucas Arts...you can do better. The idea of vibrating blades on axealone couldspawn at least two dozen different, more imaginative designs in my sketch book.

Sowrdsman are going to get more swords in a future patch and I personally think the peeps that designed SWG had no idea about our profession and what a Swordsman entailed..................I mean somewhere in one of the board meetings someone whos never played a RPG or fantasy type game with swordsman in it was assigned our profession...........I can see it now........

*Supervisor*

"Bob, I know your coming from accounting and one of the boys on the team says your from Vermont and you have a cabin there, which means you obviously cut wood with an axe to stay warm. Now, this is just my professional opinion, but that makes you an expert on melee combat. We would like for you take up the Swordsman profession within our game, what do ya say?"

*Bob*

"ummm, I dunno, I really don't......."

*Supervisor*

"Great! Its settled than, go get your things and get started you Conan you!"

If anyone ever saw the Gundam Animes, they used a weapon called a beam saber, kinda like a lightsaber (geek mode: activate!) but it was more like the weilding idea at the first post. The lightsaber just kinda loops the energy in a circle, the beam saber just kinda put out energy, and let it dwindle down father away(that that it didn't keep going on and on) (Geek mode: Off!)

I think this is a good point though... why we still using Katana's and cleavers, when theres 4 vibro weapons in game (knuckler, vibroblade, long virbo axe, and the vibro hatchet... err axe.)

Give us swords or.... give us Speeders to run down the gunners!

Why not give u guys a lightsaber?

Hell give us all a lightsaber lol.

Actually the Devs DON'T have to be original to give us good swords. The game StarWars: KNIGHTS of the OLD REPUBLIC, is VERY big into melee weapons. Melee weapons are just about as good as light sabers (better if the enemy has on a shield). One of the coolest swords in the game is a two-handed flaming sword used by a bounty hunter (I think) in the game. Something along those lines would rock. The game has other 2 handed weapons, such as a double bladed staff (also very cool). Vibro swords,vibro blades, and enhanced swords are also common in the game. As are uniqueweapons which aren't mass produced (including a sword with force powers deemed to be the early fore-runner of the lightsaber). The force sensitive was used by anancient Sith (Arjanpor or something like that).

Industrial weapons like a two-handed Industrial strength drill, or a cutting laser would also rock. You can imagine how quickly a giant drill would pop the hatch on an AT-ST. Chain weapons would be amazing. The power hammer we have now is dull and needs juicing up.
