Why are the holiday weapons always shortchanged? We never use them hardly. They just sit there collecting dust. Why? Because they aren't useful. Holiday weapons and armor should be maxed and customizable, maybe even make them inscribable. I don't believe that this is an unbalancing situation. There are plenty of weapons that are max damage and drop clean that you can customize easily.

Now I know that there isn't a requirement on the weapons. That could be a problem with balance. So how about just raising the requirement to 8 or 9 in the selected attribute and you're set. Problem solved.

And armor should definitely be raised to the max and customizable with runes as well. Seems to be a good idea to me :P No point in wearing that santa hat or pumpkin helmet if I'm goin to die because of it. And I can't show off my weapons in town so the only time I can show off my candy cane weapons is when I'm out of town...using them. And since they are literally useless, they are just sitting there collecting dust. Hence the reason I made this suggestion.

So please give me a /sign or a /nosign and tell why. Thanks.

you can't take those weapons seriously in a game like this, they're just for fun.

For those that PvP, or actually care about the mathematics of the game, the Candy Cane weaponry and Holiday Armor is very useful.
For those that PvE, the Candy Cane weaponry and Holiday Armor is eye candy (except in special circumstances).

So it has been, and so should it remain.

The time to show these weapons are in special battle areas: ie. snowball fights and dragon arena. There everyone is put on an even basis so that what you are wearing doesnt matter. That is when I use them, and I am not put at a disadvantage for using them in those areas. They are not meant for actual gaming, they are there for fun and special events like these.

yea i can understand that you think they should only be for fun use like dragon arena and snowball arena but come on people! Lighten up why make it sound all so serious i think having some armor on your yule caps and pumpkin crowns isnt exactly a crime, i mean its a game! games are supposed to be fun so why not make it that little bit more exciting!

so just incase you didnt get the picture from that let me finish it of with this to simplify things up!

candy weapons always do the same dmg. they are useful to figure exact dmg bonus's etc etc.
i would be pissed myself if they changed them. i test things myself

The Candy Cane Bow for example does an unconditional 15-15 dmg all the time. Meaning a constant set damage per hit.

Or peppermint Shield: Gives 8 Unconditional Armor, useful sometimes for a Shield Stance Mo/W

getalifebud · Jan 04, 2007, 12:12 PM // 12:12

Yeah, 10-10 damage is useful for testing.
