Weapon Appearance Slots?

[Sphiriah]

Any chance we could get weapon appearance slots? With all the new weapons recently, it would be nice to have the ability to display them without losing dps/stats.

[BigDaddy28]

I posted something about this in the "What bugs you the most" topic. Weapon appearance slots for this would be awesome. Vexthorne for my ranger, ohhhhhh yaaaaa.

[Oh]

I would love to show off my dual candy canes!!! but NOOOOOOOOOOOO the dev's are too cheap and won't let me do that cause they just can't enable appearance slots for weapons!!!! Actually there is problably some technical issue with the animation or somesuch that is preventing them. /shrug don't know

[FetishStar]

alot of people in my guild have been talking about this lately.  We would all love Wep Appearance slots - i'd even be happy with NOTHING on my back/side untill i fight.....i really hate seeing my staff "go into" my head.......

[Wilde_Night]

<p>If they are to implement weapon appearance slots, they may be restricted to only being able to substitute the same kind of weapon being used.  One handed swords for one handed swords, two handed blunts for two handed blunts... and so on.  The only thing they may be able to get away with full substitution is shields.  They may be able to tweak the code to let you hide your buckler with a tower shield, but who knows.</p><p>If most are happy with that kind of appearance slot then I don't see the idea being an issue.</p>

[ZerkerDwarf]

<p>I also strongly vote for appearance slots for weapons AND shields. Most epic weapons are exaggerated plastic toys but you probably "have to" use them until you can substitute it by a level 90 mega loot / reward.</p><p>* axes must be able to be replaced by swords and so on</p><p>* bucklers must be able to be replaced by all kinds of shields (or all shields by all shields)</p>

(( I <3 this thread. As I also mentioned before, vote YES for weapon appearance slots!!!!!!!!!!I'm guessing this is the way it would work:Weapons with 'slashing' animation = replaceable by slashing animation weaponsweapons with 'piercing' animation = replaceable by piercing animation"" "clubbing" = "" """" two-handed" = """ Shields replaceable by anyshield, as long as it would be equipable by the wearer (same way clothing appearance slots would work)

[Rhym]

I personally want to see my Prismatic Switfblade of the Scale instead of my lifespike as most piercers that are currently in the game look awful Betrayals Song in the app slot would own too i mean this cant be too hard to implement

[SugarGirl]

Posting just to show my support for the request. Weapon appearance slot would be great

[ke'la]

This was asked in the Second day of the Anything Goes forum and the devs seemed to like the Idea, even spent a few minutes talking about what they would like to show as well. Will they deside to impliment it and if so when... who knows.But just in case I am saving all my cool looking weopons.

[Britefire]

as long as i can have nothing in weapon slots but have my bruisers bo of flowing blood, live event items, or duel candycanes showing, im O. K.

[LordDragone]

<p>Ever since they came out with the appearance slot I've wanted the weapon appearance too. I even don't mind if it has to be the same type of weapon/shield as long as I can show the one I want.</p><p>It was metioned that they may not be able to because of display effects causing issues. I don't believe this will be a problem as they already have it solved with cloaks and armor so......YES PLEASE give us appearance slots for weapons/shields <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

<p>Still no reply from a dev on wether or not we get an appearance slot for weapons?</p><p>Come on guys, throw us a bone <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<span style="color: #00cc00;">Just so long as weapons appearance slots also gives you the options of scabbards for the weapon of choice, helps Emerson, RP and provides recipes for tradeskillers.</span>

[Ashlian]

<p>Weapon and shield appearance slots would be a wonderful wonderful thing! Please implement them, and while I can't think of any programming reason why the appearance should in any way be connected to the MATH that actually controls what your character does damage wise as far as slashing, piercing, crushing, etc., I would also find it acceptable if they HAD to restrict it to same weapon type. Though I would prefer it if we could simply use whatever we can equip as we can any other appearance slot.</p><p> Charm appearance slots also, please! I would love to be able to use those colored light sources you threw in the game without sacrificing the stat items.</p>

[-Arctura-]

(( i think all class-restrictions on appearance slot should be lifted.... as long as the mages cant USE the platemail, they should be able to dress in it if they want <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />(think of it as a layer of 'show-armor' for dramatic performances <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (like a costume) not fu nctional, but decorative.I also think that Weapon Appearance slots are still an awesome idea, and this thread should continue <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />PS. Ive already started scouring the broker for nice looking weapons and buying them up so i have a stockpile of nice ones to use if/when this goes live <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Lethe5683]

Well it makes jsut as much sense for mages to be able to look like they're wearing platemail as it does for plate tanks to look like they are wearing cloth but still have plate mit.

[Curs3]

I don't  think this is a good idea, everyone can already wear a robe and appear as a mage.  Whats going to stop a paladin for wearing a robe and staff with anonymous tag on?Now unless you are wanting this because your weapon looks bad, then argue with that.. ask for a pretty weapon or something.

[Naubeta]

We should be able to look like any creature too. And why not things like harvest nodes or barrels etc.It'd be cool and STF-U to all the ppl that want to tell us how our characters should look.

[Koltur]

<p>Posted and feedbacked about this several times as I definitely want this implemented. I don't want restrictions other then normal class restrictions. Scouts not using crushing, but subbing in slashers/piercers at will and no tower shields, etc.</p>

[JWSYK]

Yes at the Fan Faire the devs were very supportive of the idea and one even said it would be Easy to impliment. I thoguht it was intweresting that they added Katana blades on the  merchant for the Shadow Rift stuff that was usable by Monk/Bruiser.     When i equip them the attack animation gets tripped up a LiTTLE in the begining when he draws them (but not in a way that bothers me it kind of looks cool) but  why add such a fancy useless cool looking item  if you cant use them.

For some, it's a matter of physics / realism. Specifically to the question of a pally wearing a robe... that would only matter in a PvP or duel. If you invite said pally to your group, you will see what class he is.

[Curs3]

this is going to be an easily exploited feature, casters wearing plate.. tanks wearings robes and a staff... this is useless.  I assume the most people who want this just want to take advantage of it.

[Koltur]

These days, raiders don't bother carrying around 3 sets of backup gear like in the old days. nowadays usually there are a few tinkerers or repair-kit makers in the guild who can take care of 'on-the-raid-repairs' . And right, Prismatic , that's exactly what I got sitting in my bank waiting for vanity slots (that and another old t5 weapon, along with a set of t5 armor that i wear in vanity slots when i'm not masquerading around as a Freeport Guard, or a ninja or...)

<cite>Curs3 wrote:</cite><blockquote>this is going to be an easily exploited feature, casters wearing plate.. tanks wearings robes and a staff... this is useless.  I assume the most people who want this just want to take advantage of it.</blockquote>And just how is it exploitable? It doesn't matter at ALL on a PVE server. And from what I understood way back when armor appearance slots went in, PVP players look at the buffs of their opponent (or at what spells/arts they are casting) not what gear they are wearing. So I fail to see any way at all having appearance slots for weapons as well as armor is exploitable.

[Curs3]

Well if you say so then it must be true, wrong..I've gotten so many hits by greens attacking me with a robe on its unbelievable.  Plus whenever you get ambushed you dont have time to look at buffs.  Now unless there is a way to slow time in everquest2, there is little time to think.Why don't you argue with making the weapons better looking versus this?

<p>it shouldn't effect most server's because most staffs some of classes you mentioned can't even use, /or have no desire to use, Plus the way it has to work is, you can only use the type of weapon you already have ((Aka, Slashing and slashing weapon appearance only))!</p><p>Shield -- Shield Appearance only!</p><p>It shouldnt effect anyone's gameplay!</p><p>If you see a tank in a robe/staff, please cry more?

Yes weapon appearance slots would be great! Please add them!I have that questable mage staff from Loping, its all glowy and cool looking (and looks better than half the epics too IMO) and I also have a new staff waiting on me when i get to 76, but its just the 'standard tree branch bent to resemble a candy cane' look. Which would look better to most people! So yea, appearance slots for weps please!

I'm in the largest freeport PVP-RP-Raid guild. Best of all-worlds lol.<u><b>I support this change</b></u>, because you know what? on pvp servers, once you get past level 20, you get see-stealth and see-invis potions, and NOBODY will ever 'ambush' you again. You will see them coming from miles away, so there goes your 'what if i get ambushed' argument  heheWhy would it matter to you if someone runs up to you with a robe and a staff and starts clubbing you, versus someone runs up in a robe and a 2hs and starts slashing you?Either way, you got jumped and are gonna die. It goesnt matter what you do next, or what weapons they had or didnt have.If you pvp more, you will learn peoples names and memorize their classes. You will soon memorize what NOT to do, and where NOT to be, and how NOT to be jumped/ambushed.PS. If you take off your appearance slot robe, you probably wont get ambushed by so many people heh.Only the n00bs attack people in robes without checking buffs, and they deserve to die, so they can learn better pvp practices and become more skilled <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />PPS. The weapon changes dont matter anyways, because they will still constrain you to your previously allowed weapon selections.IE. Appearance Slot daggers only when regular daggers are equipped, Appearance slot 2hs only if you can regularily wield a 2hs. (Etc.)You WONT see mages running around with 2hs in their apperance slot, dont worry lol.

If they constrain it to the same type as the real weapon (1h slash etc) and remove things like candy canes from the game the same day, I would be content.
