Missing mid-range weapons like throwing daggers or such

[Dakyn]

I know they probabaly won't do this but I gotta admit i miss throwing daggers from ShadowBane. of course they always returned to you in that game and that is unlikely to happen in this one.

We don't really have much for mid-range weapons tho and daggers need some love. Since things are consumable, throwing a dagger is like throwing it away. If they make flint a stone type resource you could possible have a supply of flint throwing daggers like arrows that are used up.

The only throwing thing they got so far are battle spikes. Heck even spears or javilins might be fun. Only recoverable if looted off of someone who they hit successfully.

It is good idea I agree

Probably in some content update in the near (or not so near) future.

It will definetelly bring variety but it needs separate skill sets for that (Throwing, mastery, etc)

Throwing weapons would be cool.

I guess it could be cool, but not spears or javelins, just daggers.

When you think of a new idea, you have to think of the full impact of the suggestion. Economy, combat balance, skill balance, resources, damage, potential exploiting and bugs people could abuse, etc.

The javs, and spears I would see doing too much damage. Daggers would be cool, and maybe a weapon for mages to carry. Light, more room for regaents.

My suggestions: Idk if this would unbalance or not, but for the knives skill that is the one that includes daggers right? Include throwing as a skill in that category to give daggers a reason to use them.

Idk.

Yes but then you get back to my original point that if you throw them, you no longer have them. Unless they auto return. Not likely to happen in this game which loves consumption of items.

Maybe if they had a series of throwing daggers/stars that a weaponsmith could make and get a decent amount from a single iron ingot then they could be "disposable" like arrows currently are.

they do kinda have a throwing weapon already, its called a battlespike. basically a grenade with a knockback thrown in. i'm not in-game yet so i don't know where to get em but here's proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaN9KFajqgU

although i would really like throwing knives as well. tradeoff the knockback for more damage or something

I believe battle spikes are for sieges only.
