Add Scythes and Tie them to Spirit/Magic

[elder lagoon]

Maybe Spirit/Grace?

I'd agree if they were hand sickles, the kind of stuff you'd use to harvest grain. I think a big bulky scythe doesn't fit the tone of the game personally

Also -1 for AI art.

[opal narwhal]

We need more weapon variety. Right now pretty much every sword feels the same, every bow feels the same, etc. Warframes weapons feel distinct due to a combination of different firing rates/patterns and unique traits. This game needs that, because right now the only differentiator between weapons in the same group is their ability type and tier. Pretty much a non factor in moment to moment gameplay

[midnight current]

hand sickles take away from the fantasy. Who doesn't like running around with a giant magical scythe ?

also "-1 for AI art"? not everyone is gifted with art , i just added those to show people an idea of what im talking about lol. Ppl are really like this? 🤣🤣

[midnight current]

Absolutely!

[ionic frigate]

Yes because there are plenty of examples you could have used, even finding a screenshot from other games

[swift glade]

Combat schools are coming, I think this can change a little.

[paper vine]

-1 scythes are not a combat weapon

[midnight current]

ppl like you need to go back to reddit. If you're here to discuss a screenshot or an Ai art and not the topic see yourself out.

[midnight current]

thats why its a fantasy game not a realistic game. Show me where magic bombs were utilized irl?

Can't tell if ppl are ragebaiting or actually this dense.

[midnight current]

that actually sounds so cool! can't wait.

[tepid helm]

I could see Scythe as simply being a polearm variation tbf

In terms of realism, most people don't have a magical stick or stag horns either. And usually, when you throw your polearm away, it doesn't fling itself back to you.

I'm not especially big on Scythes myself, but I don't see any reason not to have them when you have wolverine claws and such already.

1. The rules state to please avoid AI art. You are doing yourself a disservice and taking weight of your suggestion through this. Please consider just not using an image. I know I am not gifted either so if I ever write about that Bat Pact I am not using images.

2. I agree with both big reaping scythes and smaller ones! +1 to this suggestion. Why? We are fantasy around here, so either a farmer based legend or your typical death reaper could work as well!

I also suggest the kusarigama. Weighted chain with scythe. Also a legend weapon that could serve as a whip like weaponry! I know we are doing a lot of western ambience right now, but we might also get some Eastern weaponry and flavor sometime later.

[tepid helm]

I think the AI Art rule is only for "Community Creations". I don't really see an issue using it to show a concept. Though admittedly, everyone knows what a scythe looks like.

Chain weapons are neat. In the same vein I'd like to see flails.

Though I think personally, if staying western themed, I wouldn't mind Hammers in general. I like weighty blunt attacks

[heavy stone]

Checked the rules, there's a line about refraining to use AI art in the discord in general under rule no. 4) Quality Standards

I do like fantasy scythes, but will this count as its own weapon type separate from all the current ones?
Battle hammers sound cool though!

[midnight current]

i would love the use of using magic projectiles much like Destiny Rising's void scythe ultimate

[ionic frigate]

I think it's a good idea but I think you using AI is wrong because there are so many things you could've grabbed a screenshot from

[midnight current]

i just think people are focusing on the wrong thing here.

[ionic frigate]

I also do think there should be pure melee scythes not just magic ones

[midnight current]

it can be both tho

instead of a throw , it can send projectiles

i do want combat as well

someone also mentioned sickles , would be an interesting option for side arm

[ionic frigate]

That would be good for a pure melee version with a throw

[midnight current]

agreed

[heavy stone]

maybe can you just remove the images? I did point out it is breaking a rule and ppl generally don't like AI art
you mentioned Destiny Rising's void scythe ultimate maybe you could post a clip of that instead?

[ionic frigate]

Ff14 reaper scythes also exist

There's a lot of places to pull from

[midnight current]

1 image is Ai

[heavy stone]

sorry, yes image

can you maybe just remove that image?

[midnight current]

i can't remove it without deleting everything

if people have an issue with 1 image that was pulled randomly from google images that happened to be Ai? report me

idc

Consider that Silent Rose is a secret rebel crew made up of towns people who were described as too drunk or old and deaf to be hypnotised by Ode - "Mostly auld yins too blootered or dief to heed the spellsong"

Probably have access to tools like pitchforks, scythes and sickles, shovels, etc...

[midnight current]

im not here to please anyone, im here to have a discussion about ideas

[midnight current]

actually would be a amazing opportunity for scythes etc

[opal narwhal]

Anyone have a link to DE talking about this?

[sonic wadi]

introducing using existing art online instead then

[sonic wadi]

warscythes are a thing but they have the blade mounted vertically

[midnight current]

i've already stated where i stand on this discussion, you and anyone else is more than welcome to send screenshots of your own. (much like you already have). ty<3

For anyone concerned about realism, they have concept art for fighting with leaves, thorns and twigs.

[lethal juniper]

the beauty indeed is the more fantastic the weapon, the better
we already also have voltaics and definitely will see more weapons of the style
maybe scythes of different types might just be gathered under other weapons too, but we will see

[paper vine]

You say this but they are very evidently using HEMA inspiration for some melee weapons

I just think scythes suck and have never made sense, which is subjective

Hello Envoy,

AI art is not permitted on this server, and as such your message has been deleted. Please feel free to repost your idea without the use if AI generated images. Thank you.

[opal narwhal]

Thanks, can't believe I missed this

[midnight current]

just because a shooter is using modern weapons doesn't mean alien weapons can't be introduced. Plus this is an idea , nothing we say in here has a chance to even make it in the game. Its all just speculation.

If you're whole point is just "bc i said they suck and it's unrealistic" ?

thats fine , but everyone here is entitled to their opinions. That's including me.

start your own thread called "Lets keep realistic weapons" 🤣🤣

meanwhile magical stags and magical grenades exist

wonder what part of HEMA those grenades are

[sonic wadi]

by hema inspiration do you mean like swords?

[halcyon siren]

If we're talking guns is prefer they do early style flintlocks like we're actually barely present in medieval times

[midnight current]

oh that was just an example i gave to him lol , but actually not a bad idea

blunderbuss sounds fun too

hand held canon basically

and we know there are definitely canon turrets in the game now

[runic walrus]

they are also more than likely never going to be implemented because they would look super goofy animation wise. Like, yes, it's a fantasy game, but you want to make your whole design coherent with everyhting. they made some 100% magical looking stuff, but it's bvecause they can make it work, keep it grounded in the ingame universe. A scythe tho? they could not make a decent animation set that would fit in. Like there is a reason why every game that had them make them work like axes where the blade magicly cut on both sides. it's the one tool you really can't turn into a weapon as is

[paper vine]

Agreed. Scythes just ae too wonky for a slow third person game. There is a reason they didnt have backstab animations until Elden Ring. They are just difficult to work with and dont make sense as a weapon
