update on the buckler.

 

[Thothie]

I think what I may do, to save you the trouble, is rename the "Buckler" to "Training Shield" and end the controversy - because even what you have there, still isn't a buckler, it's just a wooden shield.

(Buckler, normally being a v. small shield held in the fist or strapped to the forearm with a round hub for deflecting blows. Neither of which plays real well into visuals nor game mechanics.)

 

[ceriux]

lol, thats what mines gunna be... it will look like that.

 

[Thothie]

Point being, something like a true buckler is too small to be a good view model. It'll either be an awful little thing in your fist on the view model - or strapped to your arm, making you think you should have a hand free - which you won't, as it can't be arranged. (No way to dynamically combine view models sfaik)

Better to waste time on something else, I figure.

i think we should stick to buckler and give him a chance...as for the metal shiel, rename it large shield or round shield

 

[Kokris666]

Buckler should look like Ceriux's model but a Bit smaller, But i don't know actually if thats ingame size or not.

I would love to have a buckler; and Thothie, you could make a new skill area to lvl up (or lob it in with parry) called shields

The buckler could block attacks, and be a weapon! Punching people using shields'n'bucklers is fun

 

[evilsquirrel]

ahh...shield smacking could be a tactic...high chance to stun, but low damage.... ^_^
