Complaint about weapons

Sat Jun 12, 2004 7:37 pm

Ok, it just occured to me that a lot of the weapons we have suck.

Lets ignore icons and stuff, I'm talking about how the good weapons look.

Here is the most powerful weapon that you can go and buy anytime you have 13 million np

Wow. I mean. Wow. Now that sure is an awe-inspiring weapon. Lets to a comparison.


compare thisImage to thisImage

Which one looks more powerful? So why is it that the better weapon looks worse?

The SoS, used to be my favourite weapon, and even when I was playing with Gsword+SoS, sword of darkness shone through because compared to the gsword. But look at it.

I mean, does the thing even have *that bit you hold on a sword*, hilt ?

It doesnt look particularly deadly, does it.

What I would like is for TNT to make the good weapons look really great. So that when after months and month of aching pain you finally have 13 million neopoints, you go to the hidden tower and you dont have to buy some spindly silver thing that doesnt look like it could hurt anything, you want to buy a weapon that looks like it will cause mass destruction to everything ever..

Bleh, that was my little rant to tnt, make the good weapons look nicer!

Yeah, so true, all the plain stuff is the good, stuff, but it is original, original stuff was good back then.

I wanted to get a fire and ice blade, but I read in the IDB that it sucks... and I wanted a cool looking weapon :(

That's the idea. To have the weapons look weak but are able to reak havoc. If someone made them all look super powerful, it would lose it's uniqueness. Like the attack peas!

The attack pea is uberlicious! The seasonal attack pea is uber-uberlicious! The super attack pea is uber-uber-uberlicious!

And that would be simply lovely if it was in a 3d game. Where you pull out a little pea wearing a hat and it blasted the enemy with rain of terrifying energy. But when all it does is display 28 small green and yellow shapes, it's hardly the most exciting thing ever, is it.

Wouldn't it be great to have the battledome in full 3d like pokemon collesseum, watching as your opponent pulls out his LDD and you shatter it with a SuAP

wouldnt it be great if we could have miracles </sarcasm>

Wouldn't it be great if TNT got the site working fully without any glitches

Forgive me for probably being a freak but that would definitly make me lose all interest in batteling (which would be good for my pocketbook at least.) I've never seen pokemon collesseum (did i spell that right?) but a 3d aspect to to game wouldn't interst me and would probably turn me off.

Then again i'm not the target audience.

As for the actual topic at hand.
I'd take snazzy looking weapons any day.
Woo snazzy things

I feel your pain. Lol, the most feared weapon of them all, is a PEA. All hail the great pea. If you don't your going to be severely punished. We all worship these items that are puny looking. It's sort of sad really. One of the most favorite items is a battle duck. OoO, I'm scared now, a little ducky is going to hurt me! It's ashame that Neo makes these all powerful weapons, puny things that in everyday lives are meant to be something cute or eatible (sp?).
