Possiblility of getting melee weapons?

[Jardian]

it could happen, now..move along

And I could be making a Necromancer opening day also lol.

a I like that 10% on reload good idea. That would help offset any configurations when dealing with two ultra rares. I imagine DWing twin orange plasma pulser with no penalties and x2 DAM(some of them do that) would be total overkill.

There are melee specific weapons that you can use during scripted dungeons or missions.

There are no permanent melee weapons you can carry 24/7 yet, but this is a MMO and a living game. The possibilities are endless.

Actually I had a FOT- FRAGGER with a melee buttstock. And even in the view it showed my shotgun sporting a nice axehead sprouting from the buttstock. Hold the shotgun by the muzzle = instant tomahawk!

You people can go back and forth about this all you like. Its not going to happen its been confirmed over and over no Melee weapons other then short term mission ones. As the Devs stated "This is a shooter and does not need melee weapons added."

They probably should have thought of that before giving us a melee skill and a bunch of melee perks
You give a gamer a little bit of something, they're going to want the whole thing.

Just imagine... Everyone at an arkfall with their guns and rockets and grenade launchers. Then there is YOU, standing there with a melee weapon, trying to keep up with everyone and help them.

Laughin so hard Im almost crying at the thought

On the plus side, I guess it could help for when we run out of ammo. But that's if you can actually get close enough without dying.

And the guy with the melee weapon screaming, don't shoot them all man!!! Let me some so I can kill them man!!!

Nah he'd be at the crystal playing goalie making sure non of the little buggers get a bite in...everyone will be yelling at him to stop.

This!
If they changed the melee animation accordingly for when you have I melee attachment, I'd be happy. Also, it would be nice if they increased the melee attack rate in general.

I can see we've already gotten a consensus on how everyone agrees that melee weapons are a bad idea, but how about cosmetic implementations? Purchase an energy sword, hatchet, knife, real sword, etc to change the melee look? I think it would be a lot cooler to swing a blade rather than smacking your target with your gun.

sounds to me like new weapon skins will be released with some type of melee attachment like a blade or rounded edge with spikes attached to gun butts. you guys are almost making it where theyd be stupid not to.

with melee mods and abilities already in teh game im not seeing a need for melee weapons. you can give me your opinions on 'looks' and 'feel' all you want. there is already a mechanic ingame for it. now im sure we will all have ideas we would like to see implemented, fact is while it sounds like a good idea to us, they have teams of ppl that im sure have tossed this idea around alot. for whatever reason they thought this approach was best. maybe its a balancing reason, maybe its an ammo reason, whatever the reason is and if we think we can create and idea to make up for it, its seems unlikely they will change their system to add something that is already in place.

just my thoughts.
