Isn't it about time for a new age?

Gunpowder would be wonderful.


Omg..I hate it when Gimp freezes and i forgot to save...

[lordbosh]

Arquebus would be fun.

[kia345]

We've touched on primitive guns before, not many people were big on it. Why not a new crossbow?

[DustyPorViva]

I don't see why people always throw pistols out whenever it arises. There are cannons aren't there? Same technology, smaller package. I also can't think of many pirate stories/movies that didn't have them.

[kia345]

That's what I said >:

But if a whole new type of weapon were to be added, limiting to one kingdom would be unfair. Let guns be "RP invented" on Gk first, and then after some plain, weak, primitive guns circulate throughout the server, Pirate "inventors" can create a custom gun.

[Noobie8205]

I wouldn't mind seeing guns on GK given the have short range capability and not fire endlessly. Also reload time would have to be quite extensive.

[Stephen]

There will be no guns on GK.

cannon = big gun

Yes, and you're more than welcome to push one around and shoot at people.

[kia345]

Weren't cannons before guns though?

[xAzerothx]

I didn't say "gunz4gk pl0x." I'll gladly push around a cannon to shoot people with.

Cannons did come before guns. >.>

They don't need stats.
Each kingdom would be perfectly fine if this was organized so that they each had to submit 1 shield, helmet, body-armour, cloak, and weapon.
That's already plenty.

Also, you should note: The belts gloves, bracers, and boots are already useless for the stated purpose(s) of this project. (Well, maybe not useless, but definitly not very helpful compared to the other equipment; How are you supposed to walk around and say "Hey, I'm a Zormite. Can't you tell by my gloves?" Somone could be dumb enough to troll me and say "Show off on trade-tables." Go ahead. I dare you.)


On another note, I still think there should be a pirate pistol of some sorts on GK. With limited/balanced capabilities, it would be perfectly fine. With some careful designing it would fit right in. But who would script it (if you want balance, you have to be sure you trust the person will deliver)? Or rather, who CAN script a new GK weapon that's not just a clone of the others, but has its own mechanics to it? (I still don't understand how that stuff works... regarding GK and what people can develop on their own without access to stuff they can't acquire.)

[kia345]

They're all useless without stats. There's no reason to equip them for looks, then immediately switch back to your uber armor after a few seconds. There needs to be some benefit to carrying it around.

Also, some Kingdoms don't even have their first armor set, why can't we get some now?

This is true, but if we go by the original plan, the gloves, boots, etc, would have unique stats making them worth wearing.

[Mr_Blue]

Well, I designed it just for fun. Even if Stefan liked the idea, it could've been for all kingdoms.

But, in a way I think it would be pretty much useless except show, because if you think about how long it actually takes to load a flintlock pistol, all the pirates would be dead on GK.

Unless they carried 10 or so, but that brings us into the matrix
