Both of you have good arguments here. I doubt Excalibur would make everyone look samey since I have zero plans for an all-class set (that would just be boring, plus Hybrid Set really did not work well in HH); just a "Star Rod-esque" weapon. I do think it's a good idea to have the thing crafted a la Ultima, though right now, the most legendary crafting material in the game is a Shellshocker Spike, and I don't think that's something you really have to go completely out of your way to get. That other thing's opinion-based lest there are mechanics that make one item or the other objectively better, so you can have that one.cinos wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:01 amSee, I get that, but I still prefer a game like this to not treat the weapon that's god crafted as "the best one that can cure cancer and aids at once", with a unified all class theme that is doomed to make everyone look samey. Plus, god weapons don't have the actual capacity to be crafted ala ultima weapon style, nor are they as cool as other swords (gilded sword > master sword, fight me).troopas wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 3:43 amThink of it more like The Zenith from terraria... I doubt Flashlight would actually want Robby to force us to use this weapon, but it'd be much more symbolic if you did. It's just supposed to be a cool end game final weapon to display how much you've grown.cinos wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 1:54 amOf course the sword that defeats Xantis is your waifu's OP shapeshifting creation.
supportn't, not because of the former, but because I don't think divine intervention is the real key to truly defeating Xantis. On a narrative level especially, it'd be completely tone deaf for the gods to solve this very mortal issue, imo. Second, having ONE weapon for all classes will make everyone look samey, major nono. Third, good luck giving the same power stat to both warriors and archers, bet that'll go real swell.
Like I get ya, but I really don't dig this, I rather have other, more creative ideas instead of "god weapon of holiness that is holy and also cures cancer" that is literally the same theme for every class.
Also, yeah, like Troopas said, I wouldn't go out of my way to force anyone to use one weapon. There's a difference between "boring" and "dickish."
