Imbuning Weapons/Armor/Shields

IMBUE
Dfryer, I was thinking that for almost the entire thread... It was annoying me towards the end actually.
Kudos to IceFalcon for getting it right.

I like the idea of a slight weapon trail, I would make it something not too obvious, and special weapons get special trails. Like white for all weapons, and different colours for different abilities. Sort of like Dynasty Warriors 2 (love that game). eg fire imbued weapons - red trails... make sense? But don\'t go overboard.

why can\'t we have weapon effects look just as good as spell efffects?

Your idea reminds me a bit of Diablo II\'s socketed equipment. Put gems in different pieces of socketed equipment and it can do things(helms and shields get increased defense, weapons gain fire damage, etc.)

if effects mean..that that player is \"vain\" then mages are the most vain people ever in a game..

So obviously i dont think this is true.  All i want is..even to i think a warrior is the best class there, to make this class a little more attractive..for the eye .

im not talking about big ass effects that fill ur whole screen, since i think this should be limited to mages.

But just some visual eyecandy for the warriors wouldnt hurt annyone now would they.. and if every weapon just starts normally without any effect then even the people that dont like this idea at all...can be happy

I would like to see @ least weapon streaks that look like the burred weapon because if you are getting 5 to 10 fps, it is going to look @ lot better then a choppy sword animation alone? it looks choppy when you are getting lower-end fps?

could someone help me on this? if the different materials used on the weapons end up giving it streaks (not sure if the weapon would have them without being umbued) would the shields and armor mentioned in the title also have streaks?

for my opinion if the weapons do end up getting streaks thats fine with me as long as they dont end up becoming magical trails that follow the weapon no matter what its actually doing (like just walking around with it)

nah i guess first of all those trails will only be on the weapons..and only when ur fighting with it.. maybe ull see something when ur just walking, but not a big trail behind u or something that would be to much.
