Ranged Weapons
« on: April 19, 2005, 09:42:44 pm »
In PlaneShift you should be able to get ranged weapons like Bows, Staves, and maybe even Rifles. That woould be so cool. And maybe you would have to get ammo for them or something.

There are going to be bows, throwing axes and so on. But I don\'t know (hope) there will be any rifles, and well about the ammo part, what good would a bow be without arrows? ;)

In the past, because of people like you who were never happy, developpers changed their mind and started to develop another release of ps based on Quake-Like games. We (the fan of planeshift mmorpg) were forced to protest very actively and finally we saved the CB planeshift mmorpg project... But it was close : the developpers broacasted a news :

Hi planeshifters,
lately we have been very busy with next release, and we finally understood why we are having issues in releasing CB. Two issues:
1) A mmorpg project is really too complex for a OS team.
2) I\'ve investigated on the morale of the team, and it seems that most of them is against a fantasy game, basically they are very bored of spells, swords, orcs, etc...
This was discovered about 1 month ago. So we finally decided to switch gears.

From now on PlaneShift will move to a First Person Action Game and will be based in a futuristic setting: year 15.000
Check the new short movie on that here. We hope you will like the new PS!

If developpers change their mind another time it could be the last one... I hope you like what you are doing !!!

EDIT : look for this news in the old news section before replying please... (precisely look at the date !)

I am sure ranged weapons will be available eventually.  Guns are overrated.  If they were implimented they would be not anymore effective than any other ranged weapon, so there is no reason to do it other than for the WoW copycat factor.

If range weapons are impilmented you should be forced to carry all of your bows and bolts, they would disapear after use and you could not carry more than 40 or so at a time. Less if your a smaller race.

lol, that sounds like fun to me, but transfer the whole game to space? then they must rebuilt the whole world again!
it surely fits better to the name of the game...

what you forgot to post was the next news message:

Quote

2004.04.02
   

People angry, others amazed, shocked fans, a new project has started that will continue the fantasy setting of PlaneShift... all that happened in one day! Wait a second, ... think more about it ... you have been fooled by 1st of April joke! The heavy kran was a weird invention, nothing real!

The whole team loves fantasy and we are strong willed to make PlaneShift the best fantasy mmorpg on the Net, or matter what that will require in terms of efforts!

In the heavy kran movie you can see the new kran model, it\'s more characterized than the old one. To put things again into the right place and to beg pardon to the ones that went angry (eh eh) we will post later today/early tomorrow some new content on our progresses.

We hope you had fun with our joke in the worldwide spirit of April Fools\' Day and apologize for any heartburn this may have caused our loyal fans.
