Swords and other weapons

awesome thread. now ask for cars and motorbikes, quick!

I'll have a Vanagon and we can sell our hippie goods from it.

I'll level my Glass Blower tree to 50 before I work on the Drive tree, though. You may need to steer for a while.

Even if they did have animators and a test server, They would have to decide weather to make it a part of a new style with new accuracy, defense, damage and resistance, which would require changing of all basic combat techniques, another defense ability, ect. If They decided to keep it within the realms of MA, they would have to then compromise the new tree's and make sure that the passive buffs you recieved from them would not make the tree way under or overpowered. There is a lot to change in something like this, CR2 took ages to make, and even when they did it took a month or 2 to fix it again.

"Melee" implies weapons as well, so it could stick within the realm of Melee Acc/Def/Dam/Res. So yes, it would still be MA. Of course, it still not going to fall under MA because it's not going to happen.

Remember, before CR2 Spy was a mix of Melee and Ranged tactics. Your sneak attack had its own stat, but melee was needed to finish off your opponent in IL if they weren't already dead whereas Ranged was attached to all of your knife attacks. Sorry, just reminiscing there.
