Description: Weapon created by poor farmers using condensed bamboo plant. It's density is comparable to stone.


New 4 clash combo animation: All clashes are downward strikes and forward thrusts to accommodate the long staff's range.

New Right click animation: Baseball swing that launches/pushes at an angle in between dagger thrust and sword uppercut.

I am well aware that the design is simple, it is that way because simple and practical things are best. Believe it or not, a few animations and a quick edit to the range of the weapon and right click would not take long. Maeit could make higher level versions such as metal rods and new prems with this new weapon design like spears using same animations.

Yeah, wouldn't take long. But Maiet can't do some simple calculations to balance out the system enough to incorperate two handed swords, sword/gun combinations, double daggers, or even out any balance issues with existing weapons, let alone go through the trouble of creating another genre of weaponry all together. This would also require new sound effects.

Good idea, just seems unlikely to happen. They're probably looking to make a slightly different rendition of a pistol or a rifle. Nothing that involves too much work on their part, they're just trying to take advantage of the group of Gunz fans that have been chilling on the private servers, learning to create game content for them.

I think the stats are already balanced. I understand how you and every else feels about Maeit, but I honestly don't think you give them enough credit and I believe IJJI said new classes are accepted. I also agree about some of the other designs suggested that would require a lot of effort balancing, and adjustments and such.

That was taken into consideration when I thought of this, and it's why it's simple. It doesn't need any balancing because it goes along with the other weapons in the game. It's basically a weaker sword with more range, new animations (and sound thx), no block, and lightly different right click. The range will give it a slight advantage to sword/kodachi, but without the ability to block, BF, or random massive/recoil, it is still inferior. However, with a little skill you could use the range to it's maximum potential. Daggers have the advantage and ability to continuously stab while moving, and they both don't have block. Daggers are faster, so they would likely win out up close. Speaking of faster...

I just noticed I forgot to add the attack speed and weight. This is what happens when you don't play gunz in a month and a half, and you make up stats 2 minutes before you send an email. I wonder if they will allow participants to send updates.

Let's see.... weight...

Weight: 10
Delay: 350

And btw, it works like a sword, so you can still k-style with it without bf.

I used to think the same way you do about Maiet. About people not giving them enough credit. But then I started realizing after two years had passed and I had played the same exact game with less than five MINOR advancements that they really are a ****ty company. Maybe they'll be willing to actually do some work for this, I dunno. I actually didn't read the rules of the contest, but if they're accepting entirely new classes of weapons, then that's cool. Surprising though.

Far too true, the reason why I made set edits and why I enter every "Design blah blah blah" contest is because I want new content in the game, but MAIET seems un able to do any of that by themselves. If my S4 account wasn't banned for being a foriegner I'd be playing that instead because unlike gunz, content has been continually added since the release of the game, and their maintenance is amazing. MAIET on the other hand has abandoned us to pursue other things and now gunz is nothing moe than an after thought. Its sad too since the game is so damn amazing in concept but terrible in execution and honetsly k-style is one of the biggest examples for the lack of coding ability.

classic flip...<3
if you didnt know what classic flip was it was back in the beta days of gunz (the very first beta) and the flip animation was what you described. i would have recommend blocking though but make the animation shorter than a swords.

still get NEW idea.

[Zanoken]

About the block - I don't think so. The random massives would be disgusting. If you ever got hit from a mile away with a massive, you how it is. The range is longer, so every time you give them a massive their reach will be enough to hit you because the sword needs to be well inside their range to hit the staff. Turtling should stick to sword/kodachi, that would make the weapon more unique.

A short block without massive on hit is ok if that's what you mean. Seems like more coding tho... and doesn't make sense. But then again, I'm betting you can block bullets with the wooden sword too.

The old flip sounds cool, I remember some videos of it. I don't mean to flip them that far tho, I remember the flip launched like 2-3 times further than lunge. It would be like a flip with shorter vertical distance and land were lunge pushes maybe a little closer.

I remember those animations were sick back then. It's funny how they were wasted, couldn't even use them for a different weapon or something.

[Paul]

I think the shorter block would make a lot more sense. I mean, wood blocking bullets, no, but then again, Katanas aren't exactly shields either. A bullet should go right through those, or at least render the weapon unusable lol.

But about the range, the extended range should only come while attacking. If blocking with the stick, you wouldn't be pointing the stick towards your target, so a closed in block would make sense.

[Remorse]

Hmm, pretty thoughtful. Would work out very well. Except, you introduce a new type of melee weapon.

Staff

They would probably like to create more than one.

Also, that staff seems like a relatively long or big weapon. Which, will increase the ping. The only reason ijji did not create females with hair going below the shoulders is because it will lag.

8/10

The woman's hair thing sounds like a comment you either just made up, or someone you heard it from just made up. Neither this weapon, nor a woman's long hair would make the game lag. If that were the case, we wouldn't have overcoats. A bamboo stick will not make the game lag, guaranteed.

[ChainReaction]

Lol its nice , but I don't think its good as a weapon. It will be good as starter or Training wep.

[Machiko]

is this the MaiET haters club

[Ph0bi4]

that staff would need steps but i would be fun!
