Well it will depend on the implementation and just how much flexibility you get per weapon... I wonder how 2h swords will fare in this new system. Their biggest pro was being able to hit anywhere, so what else are you going to do for them?

Honestly, when have 2H swords not been defined by "Slow, wide arc, long range, high damage"? Other than in Claymore, I mean, but that hardly counts. Probably it'll be something similar to the hunting zweihander knife: a "high" swing that covers pretty much their current arc, and a low slash that gets down by the feet. There's not a tremendous lot you can do with a big slab of metal.

Personally I'm more interested in spears and shortswords.

But the point is that spears are just better than 2h swords except for the fact that you can hit higher and lower with the swords. If you can then do that with spears too, and swords remain somewhat similar, as like you said what else are you going to do with them, that kind of ruins swords.

Did you guys not read what I literally just posted?

Just ruminating.

Here the change log maybe, but seems legit the update should be out tonight or so they say. http://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/1siuu6/1292013_changelog_v_annoyed_koala/

You can no longer attack through blocks

Well fuck.

Beat me to it. I'm almost certain it's legit, so hope they can get the patch out soon-ish.

Hopefully.
Anybody get the feeling they like reddit more than their own webpage/forum?

It's legit. Tiy (The real one, not the shitlord that said it was uploading about an hour ago) posted that pastebin himself on the irc.

Hopefully.

The devs didn't put that on reddit. So I don't get why you're just repeating that. If anything they favor the IRC, twitter and their twitch streams.

2H swords have a broad arc that will catch pretty much anything in front of you, spears have a ~15-20 degree arc that has to be aimed to be effective. So against multiple enemies, fast enemies, small enemies, and flying enemies, a 2H will probably be easier to use. Just because it can only do a couple things doesn't mean those things are bad. That's silly. Like saying that, for example, sniper rifles in a FPS are useless because they can only shoot single bullets instead of having single-shot, burst fire, and full auto firing modes.

E: Also, looking at the changelog, it's going to include secondary/special attacks. Awesome. XD

Honestly I do, too. Reddit is... like... literate. Their forums are not.

Reddit crashes less.

I avoid both, so more of an interesting observation than criticism.

That's silly. Like saying that, for example, sniper rifles in a FPS are useless because they can only shoot single bullets instead of having single-shot, burst fire, and full auto firing modes.

But that is exactly what I'm saying.
Think of spears as sniper rifles, they do a lot of damage but only fire one bullet at a time, or rather do a lot of damage and only aim one direction, while 2h swords are like shotguns that fire a huge spray and hit everything, but in most games they do a lot less damage than the sniper.
Making the spear hit more directions is giving the sniper shotgun capabilities.

Just because the spear can only do a couple things doesn't mean those things are bad.

Suggestion complete! Now to animate all the crazy legs frames...

[Sirus]

That looks really good, actually

I hope that eventually there will just be dozens of custom armor sets, even if they are only cosmetic in nature.

[Deon]

Yep, I am not going deep into modding yet, because there will be a lot of releases with new features and possible total changes to assets.

However fully animated armor sets is something that will be useful through all the beta and after the release, so I plan to slowly make as many as possible .
