Well this a Lovecraftian MMO. Can we arm ourselves with tentacles? NO! Get your head out of the gutter at once!
But if we could use tentacles as a weapon that can various things, what will the weapon itself look like? Thinking Staff, orb, dagger, scepter since we kinda don’t have that.
Who wouldn’t want to role-play as a cultist of the Outer Gods and Cthulhu?
As far as the 3 skill lines for it. Definitely DPS/Crowd Control.
I think it would be a book but that would require a second ability page on blood (and possibly the other weapons as well)
I’m thinking about a Relic, some statue or talisman, dunno. Magic artifacts aren’t used but rather just wore.
Keeping with that second-page-weapon thing, elementalism has many voodoo themed skins which would be cool to be actually able to use some kind of voodoo, it would be healing/debuffing I think.
What kind of mechanic such weapon would have? The way I think of it is as some kind of summoning device, maybe after summoning enough beasts you are able to sacrifice them for extra damage.
Dunno how broken it would be tho.
I was thinking about a main weapon like blood, chaos, etc. Your idea sounds cool too. Maybe something geometric.
Actually, the only tentacles I’d like to see are Eidolon’s but I guess they’re coming soon, since Funcom once told all content from TSW would come to SWL
No, we cannot. A similar discussion was held back when this was TSW and I think it was Bunker Guy who shot it down with “no, players are not supposed to have filth powers and Nermegal is the extend to which you get to play with filth”.
There are tentacle hats.
What if it were like a Trident to add water abilities into the game, which could work interestingly alongside Elemental, letting people Aquaman/Hydroid it up with sea-themed abilities? Then tentacles would be fair game, without breaking through into Filth territory, while still letting us feel like a Cthulhu cultist.
If they didn’t want to make it a full weapon, they could make it like an extra weapon with a limited ability line. Could work well for other weapons that aren’t fleshed out in the game too, like the Flamethrower or Rocket Launcher. I’m thinking like a third weapon you can call on a slotted ability for. A side weapon. Auxiliary, if you will…
THIS!!! Perfect!!! We could use that!
