Have you noticed how you keep your weapon out for Brawl, and they have different animations? Like the Katana set's weilder buts them with the hilt, and bow users do a kick
These were painstakingly written per weapon set, as a custom animation. It takes a lot of work to do this for all 3 body types.
The reason this happens with other powers: They are mutally exclusive to the weapon sets, have their own animations that start at 0 w/o the weapons. & ofc clipping issues. There are no doubt more reasons behind it.
Redraw is frustrating, but the damage/tohit malarkey is already calculated before the animation happens. IT's only an aesthetical difference. The work to change it so the weapon was always out (which i'm sure would upset a whole other group of whiners), would be a *collossal* amount of work...time better spent on new content, and not on a mild irritation
re: 1, Sheaths/Scabbards would be nice, something akin to the back-mounted swords on the Jounin from the Ninja/ MM primay
Weapons size may be hard to do. Simply having weapons to customise is new enough, and I for one am perfectly happy with the unlockable weapons & adapting them to costumes and sometimes the reverse. If it's easily done, and done well (separate section of scale sliders, similar to face/build) then sure, if not- i'd suggest being content with what we've got, as there's nothing wrong with it
i think they should brin in staff/spear with a combo system like dual blades. that would be so cool i mean how many heroes you see in the comics that uses staffs

Yeah I agree with the fact that it would take a hell of a lot of work, and I wasn't complaining, but GG wants moving hair, I want giant swords 
/signed. Mostly 
. I understand the technical difficulties with the drawing issues. But I would like sheaths, scabbards etc. The custom weapon size could be fun.

Ah! its the dawn of the bogus ninja culture all over again!
anyway, i thing they should create a sheath animation by reversing the draw animation, sheathes would be cool, easy and simple...and it would stop players from conjouring up weapons from nowhere.

I'd definitely like to see a staff-fighting set. I seem to recall it being mentioned/commented on by a Dev a few months ago (probably BaB), but that after Shields they'll probably do a blast set next, or a control set, as they've done so many melee weapon sets before.

No. Just No. lol
Back mounted Sheaths/Scabbards (can never remember which is which) is already incorporated on Ninja pets on a MM. Surely it wouldnt be hard to do a bit of tweaking and make it available for character customisation
I like these idea's, I'd love Sheaths/Scabbards and gun holsters =D
if it would only be a costume peace for on your back, i would be happy enough.
the animation can cover the rest, except for the weapons coming from an empty sheath :P
My request for a new weapon model for the Claws set:
dual fans
It's in many other games, please bring it to CoX!
Dynasty Warriors much? =P
Dual fans would have a completely different bone/animation rig, so not really feasable for a claws customisation.
...Dual Blades, then?

Stuff
I have a few characters that uses these wonderful swords, gunz and the like..
I don't know if its been mentioned in a previous thread (and i aint gonna go hunting for it) but in regards to swords i'd like to have the ability to change their size.
Also on the topic of swords when are we (if ever) gonna get sheaths and scabbards, especially back mounted ones. With the release of dual blades this would make an amazing costume piece.
AND! why do the weapons have to disappear when you use another power such as a heal or a self buff (Build up, FE etc), it gets a tad annoying when your in a tight spot and you need to kill something quick, but having to wait that extra second or 2 for the weapon draw animation could mean the difference between life and death (death in my case usually).
So,
1. sheaths/scabbards
2. no re-draw animation
3. ability to customize weapon size
I'll get back to dreaming...
