And unfortunately It seems unlikely that J&L would spend time making new weapons available before they change the combat system (and had that many more weapons to throw out/modify), as that seems to be somewhat high on their list.
But yeah, it would be really nice to have more shields. Shields having armor might make sense? And quality needs to matter eventually. I could see like wooden shield, wood with a bar, and then a pure steel shield.
I think changing anything other than adding armor and Q to shields would have to wait for the new combat system. (honestly i cant even see those two changes)
ahhh yes i totally forgot about the combat overhaul they talked about.
we should try to make a organised list of ideas for weaponry/shields and related combat skills though, incase jorb and loftar read it and like some of what they see.
