Swords Less Autistic-Looking

Post by Jesus_Smith_Nandez »

Make you hold your sword on your side similar to the way you sheath a stone/metal axe or have it visibly appear in a sheath, then draw it when combat is initiated, rather that waving it around all floppily like some kind of edgemaster with a katana.

+1.
Please.
I really hate how they're being held at an angle.

How hearthlings still don't have carpal tunnel supporting a blade worth two bars of either wrought or steel at such an angle baffles me.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

no
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Autistic me this and that.

Yes, arguably there could be more animations to how he uses it.

I like the way swords look.

I like the way my hearthling's holding it. Realism aside, it looks intimidating and pretty much shouts 'watch out guys, this guy has a sword'. Sheathing it would make you not realize that hearthling over there is carrying a sword until they hit you with it (which is currently insta-death).
