Named Weapons.
« on: November 24, 2010, 05:33:58 pm »
I kinda wish that our weapons would be named after a certain number of named kills (15 or so?) Any chance of this ever becomeing a feature in adventure mode?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they used to get named back in 40d? If they did, I imagine Toady may re-implement that, and at the least, if the fans want it bad enough I'm thinking that Toady will put it (back) in, since it's hardly game-breaking.

I don't think it was in 40d, but it was in earlier 31.xx releases, but was removed recently because when a frogman or something killed an FB, he constantly renamed the weapon he used, spamming your announcements page with Frogman McADD has named BlackWood Spear: Something or Other x54. So it was removed. I think Toady is going to re-implement it soon though.
