Swords, WTF

Googi · #1 05-11-2002, 04:15 AM

Well, now you have to buy your sword back...kinda dumb but oh well, by tommorow everyone will have their sword back so kinda pointless really.

vsignasv · #2 05-11-2002, 04:25 AM

Its not hard and its kinda fun

Xerphier Dintch · #3 05-11-2002, 04:26 AM

AlexH told me if you kill 25 monsters you get a kicking attack. If you kill 200, you get a spin kicking attack.

Maybe they should incorporate some sort of guns like in your sig.

Maybe you should be able to buy your sword and switch between them whenever you like, sword sheethed and unsheethed. If it's already not like that, I don't really know.

I didn't say I wanted one.
Why is it 'n00bish'?
It's not the 'spin' npc I assume, your not just able to delete it (i'd think) because it is your sword and probably would be used with a combination of buttons. It's just a guess, though.

Well at least they're making an effort to make it more rpgish, and they're not making a bad job either. It would be cool if there was more weapons, like spears, axes, lances and more types of swords and stuff. Also, the monsters should drop more items than just gralats, pearls, and gold. Another suggestion, the dungeons need to be more full with baddies chests and traps, because most of the time you're running round for ages and not doing anything.

A multi aresenal of weapons would be nice for graal. Some with more advantages then others. Graal needs more of a fighting system.

I want my bamboo stick to turn into a lance.

Ghost Pirate · #12 05-11-2002, 05:51 AM

are you capable of switching between modes?

If you have a sword and want to use kung fu you need to go give the sword to the guy who crafts it for you. I don't know if you can just go get it back right away or what.

I think it would be alot better if you could just put away your sword and use kung fu, then bring it back out whenever you want.

I don't know, but I like my idea of unsheething and sheething your sword.

Googi · #15 05-11-2002, 06:10 AM

Yeah, you can switch back, but the sword is much better, I got mine back now

Yea but.. like that song goes... "Everybody was kung foo fighting".
It'd still be fun to switch back and forth between them. Just incase you're in a hand to hand combat mood, plus the fighting has more tatics after you kill monsters, I guess.

Shorty2Dope · #17 05-11-2002, 06:18 AM

They should make it so you take your sword out and put it away. Also have another NPC that lets you choose what weapon to use and which button to use it with. Like s could be sword and d could be kick, or with the new commands they can use any keys?

Amagius · #18 05-11-2002, 06:21 AM

Kung Fu's fun once you get used to it.

Terazel Tenjin · #19 05-11-2002, 06:24 AM

Kung fu is difficult to master. Once I got the sword back, I didn't want to let go.

Any idea if the sword will be "upgraded" once it reaches a certain kill limit?

Ghost Pirate · #20 05-11-2002, 06:33 AM

how ya switch?

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #21 05-11-2002, 06:39 AM

I like how Kung Fu and Bamboo hurt now, but I don't think that as a new person you need to get the kills. This is going to cause some serious PK'ing against new people on 2k1

Has that been incorporated yet? I already killed over fifty monsters, but I don't have any kick attack.

I like the addition of new fighting systems, but I think I'll have to stick with a sword. I've yet to hear of a Swordsman who didn't fight with a sword.

Domini · #23 05-11-2002, 07:10 AM

bamboo hurts? wow that's ****ing stupid

HVOstroHS · #24 05-11-2002, 07:53 AM

Help I don't understand the new system and I'm turning into a nerd and watching History channel

HELP ME

Hilton · #25 05-11-2002, 08:15 AM

Hey the history channel is a great channel.

AND

I am going to go kung fu style because works sucks, that's why I play games (and working in games sucks even more, understand?).

I'll just play some Parappa mp3's and it should be a grand ol time. AND with the magic of voice transmission i'll throw in a few grunts and kung fu buzz words/phrases.

Googi · #26 05-11-2002, 08:55 AM

Yeah, you get spin kick for 100 monster kills, it's pretty bad though, and it leaves you open to attack.

Griffyn · #27 05-11-2002, 09:17 AM

Screw swords! I want a gun.

What's infinitely more stupid is that they took out almost all the bamboo attacks. You can't spin, you can't block, and you can't move the stick back and forth in one move. All you can do is poke the rod forward in the direction you're pointing. Horrible.

Amagius · #30 05-11-2002, 09:28 AM

If you paid attention you'd realize that you earn them back the more monsters you kill with the Bamboo.

Mm, really? How many do you need? I've only killed thirty with the bamboo so far.

Amagius · #32 05-11-2002, 09:36 AM

I'm not sure of them, but I know there 2 things you can get back wen you have enough...I think one of them is 100.

But you're not supposed to get excited about history like I did earlier. I mean, I watched Jeopardy and new the answers. I'm not usually like that.

Edit: See.. back to my old self.. spelled "knew" wrong.

Amagius · #34 05-11-2002, 09:48 AM

Reasons to know History.

1.Nothing.
2.To Honour Old People.
3. Jeopardy
4.Nothing Else.

Amen to that.

Infamy · #36 05-11-2002, 10:00 AM

here is nice little Blue Bear technique chart for all you n00bs.

Sword:
0 monster kills get you slash attack
rest not implamented yet.

Kung Fu:
0 monster kills get you punch attack
25 monster kills get you kick attack
50 monster kills get you block
100 monster kills get you spinning kick attack
200 monster kills get you jumping forward kick attack

Bamboo:
0 monster kills get you thrust attack
25 monster kills get you block
50 monster kills get you spin attack
100 monster kills get you side2side attack
not sure if there is anything beyond 100 yet.

Amagius · #37 05-11-2002, 10:05 AM

Just bewcause you don't know that stupid chart doesn't mean your a n00b.

Ghost Pirate · #39 05-11-2002, 11:22 AM

When a player hits maybe like 350 kills with kung-fu he is capable of pulling off a fast combo hit starting with 3 fist punches and ending with a good push back kick

but instead of being like s and arrow it would be more of a combo of arrows like s > > v

Notice how people are all jumpy now in dungeons. They either try to stand back until you've almost beaten a monster to try and steal your kill with ridiculous kung-fu attacks, or they try to kill you when you try to help them after they get ganged up on by several monsters.
