I got the feeling that was what Thomas had in mind. He wats to do a major overhaul of the combat system and I think that might be where he was thinking of going with it. And it would make sense to have an enemy capable of wielding a weapon also be able to duel with it. Then we wouldn't have to have limited swords and the enemies would still take some practice to kill. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara Quinn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charles Rivard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] using weapons in MOTA
Perhaps instead of all this talk of dulling blades and such, it might be a nice idea to implement duling ability by the skeletons. In other words, rather than having the blade last a certain amount of time, the skeletons could just be able to parry attacks and such, and thusly be more difficult to Neutralize?… Smiles, CQ :) On Feb 14, 2008, at 10:33 AM, Charles Rivard wrote: > Maybe there could be a stone somewhere in the game that is used as a > sword > sharpener?
