I24: Fix everything? Does that include Weapon Customization?

Okay, this has been a problem for a while, but there are several weapons the should have been ported/made to work long ago, but for some reason, did not. If somebody could explain why, please do. Also feel free to speak up about any I missed:

Beam Rifle Weapon Models. Full Stop. The obvious port would be for Bots, but a few of them, (Rune Soldier in particular) Could also be conceivable for AR, and perhaps DP.

Tsoo "Katana": Why has this never actually been ported to Katana? It should have been available for it in the first place.

Nemesis Rifles: Why are these only available to Assault Rifle, when the even more outdated-looking (in terms of history, not rendering) Steampunk Rifle is cross-set?

Rikti Rifle (my mistake, edited.): Only available to Bots MMs, and it won't unlock. If it ever does get working, it needs to at least get ported to BR.

Thorn Blade: Again with the Broadsword that should be a fairly easy port! Gosh my golly, this would be great for Dual Blades, Katana, possibly even Titan Weapons!

Rularuu Weapons: There are no Rularuu weapons for Arachnos Assault Rifle, Arachnos Mace, Beam Rifle, Dual Pistols, Pulse Rifle, Staff Fighting, Shield Defense, or Titan Weapons. I suppose I can understand not having Rularuu guns, but what of Arachnos Mace (copy over regular Mace), Titan Weapons (upsize Broadsword/Mace/Axe), or (I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was a Rularuu shield. My bad.)

EDIT:

Crey Rifle/Pistol also needs porting.

Thugs' Legacy Semi-Auto needs to be ported to DP, and DP weapons need porting back to Thugs.

The Sky Raiders Machete for BS, DB, possibly Katana

EDIT EDIT:

Nictus Katana

Arachnos maces for Warmace, tie it to Spider Smasher or an Arachnos pack
Downsized Titan Weapons concrete hammer
Downsized Titan Weapons atom smasher

Axe models for Dual Blades, axes have a blade and I want a barbarian berzerker.

As for Axe: A Kopesh, a one-sided legacy Battleaxe, a downsized Titan Weapons flesh axe

Nemesis Staff...for..you know..STAFF Mastery. How was this missed when it came out? Maybe Blackwand too.

For example the snake headed staff(wand) some CoT are using.

What's missing for broad sword is the Red Cap Dagger,

which is somewhere between a giant dagger and a short sword in size...if in doubt, make it even larger

The long promised Rularuu (and Vanguard) TW aside, a Rularuu themed Crab backpack would be nice for future content.

I think I've got them all. I know it's a big thing for new art assets, but there are plenty of customizatons here that require little by way of new assets (relatively speaking), and should have been ported a while ago. I know i24 is probably too far along, but i25, perhaps?

To add to this there is a Roman sword unlock (a decorative gladius) that is only available on BS, and should be ported to DB also.

A few things here.

1. Their is a Rularuu Shield.
2. The Rikti Blaster is what we have in game now. The Rikti Rifle is the one that isn't awarded when it should be.
3. Legacy Semi Auto is Thugs only and should be ported to DP.
4. The Crey pistol from the Hero Accolade should also be ported to DP.
5. The Sky Raiders Machete for BS, DB

I do agree it would be nice to port over unlockable weapon models to other power sets. And some weapon sets need more models like: staff fighting, axe (a fantasy axe similar to the already available fantasy broadsword model would be nice and perfect for 1 of my character's costumes). Can't think of any more offhand.

One thing is, people have been complaining about the lackluster amount of staff models and asking why they haven't released a weapon pack in the paragon market like they did with titan weapons. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Weapons_Customization#Staff

Would be cool to have a Ruluru staff with the moving eyeball in the middle of it. I think it could be done.

Edited for typo

Ya know seeing as how we have a broom staff weapon already. I want to see a staff made out of rolls of quarters.

Ya know these things, as a play on the word Quarterstaff....



...I think it would be funny.

I've always wanted to see more weapon models added to the game, perhaps as a full-price Weapon Pack. Failing that, I fully agree that weapons should be proliferated across sets at least wherever possible without additional artwork.

I'd like to see all or at least most Beam Rifle weapons show up for Robotics Pulse Rifle attacks at the very least (I can see the BFG not making the cut because of its cavernous barrel), and as many as can make sense show up for Assault Rifle. I want to see all the custom pistols available for Dual Pistols show up for Thugs Pistol attacks, and any that are Thugs-only (like the Legacy Autos) ported in reverse.

I don't have any problem whatsoever with ALL katana swords ported over to Broadsword and Dual Blades. Furthermore, I'd like to see all Broadsword weapons ported over to Dual Blades and pretty much all Dual Blades ported in reverse. I'd prefer to see sets migrate TO Katana, but I understand there's a problem with hilt length that will require art time to fix, specifically in that Katana swords need longer hilts that a lot of Dual Blades and Boradswords don't have.

That's all I can think of off-hand.

Staff needs a regular, non-techy lance. Especially since the model is already in the game.

Okay, yeah, there were a few errors that I corrected.

Beam Rifle Weapon Models : Most of the guns have diffedrent hold positions - it's not a simple port it does require time to adjust the assets to fit the grip positions AND (IIRC) effect origin points.

Tsoo "Katana": Is this long enough? From what I recall, Katana needs swords with the longer hilt to accommodate all it's animations.

Nemesis Rifles: See Beam Rifle above. The Steampunk Rifle is cross-set because as it was made, it was made to accommodate all sets. I seem to recall an issue with either it or Celestial rifle where one of the sets that got it had everything coming out of the middle of the gun in beta.

Rikti Rifle (my mistake, edited.): Beam Rifle, above. Although it would be nice if the unlock worked.

Thorn Blade: Defualt probably would not work for Katana (see above) - and it wouldn't upscale nicely to Titan weapons. Not sure about how BS and DB would handle it.

Rularuu Weapons: The VEAT weapons all tend to have unique needs/issues - no promise the could even port over mace easy. Then their's the "epic" (aka story) part of their name...

Staff should probably have eyes all over, not just in the middle.

NICTUS KATANA!

I would honestly put down the money to just have one of the devs right out make it for me.

Issue 24 is not intended to fix all things.

Internally it has been joked about by the powers team that it seems like it is with all the work they've put into it and was mentioned only once in jest on a stream.

....suddenly the forums have been exploding with misunderstood information

You know how you can color the 'swooshes' on Titan Weapons and Staff Fighting?

Do that for Broadsword, Katana, Dual Blades, Claws, Axe, and Mace and I'll explode with happiness.

It'd be nice if Widows could have literally any claws options, considering Soldiers at least get a handful of rifle choices.

Other than that, some pulse rifle to beam rifle choices would be nice, along with a few of the mace options being made available to the Mace Mastery PPP, and vice versa.
