But they could do different actions when attacking, have different ranges.

no

THIS IS NOT ZODIAC SERVER... omg i agree new weapons but same health damage... make mage staff that has dif spells... freeze, warp to outside, damage .5 idk.

I think it would be really cool to have special weapons that dont have many special attributes besides their look... for instance say a boomerang that flys out and when it hits a "arrow-blocking/bomb-blocking" wall it comes right back. Only deals .5 seconds and it can be deflected by the players shield side. simmilar to arrows but you can throw an unlimited times without restocking. it would need a balance such as how long it takes to throw it again...

Signature PK weapons are the only thing i really like about era.. ive heard of the players who specialize with the lightsaber and it has the cool little deflecting bullet thing. sounds really cool.

Classic already has some assisting items to help in combat. The best i believe is "levitate". People can heal passively. Helps when your defending "new-mod" and you eliminate all the oposers on top of the fort. You can regenerate full health and wait for them to return. Its a very custom item and gives some people character, I know santa from CXE always uses this to his advantage, and not every player has this.

Also snowballs... but, i mean... lol

How about barricades you can place (max 10 per inv?) and they have health and you need to destroy them to get past... (destroy in 5 minutes if nobody attacks it?)

I know this wouldnt work out, but wouldn't it be cool if you were fighting someone you had 0.5 and they did too, you could use a 'Special Attack' like you dissapear & re-appear behind them and hit them! That would be cool. You could buy the attack just incase it would be used constantly. Maybe make a 'Special Attack Shop'

Yeah raise the health to 100 and let admins keep the 20

But it's not the damage thats the problem. If how they're played out and how this will affect player killing/tower taking.

Well to be honest. I prefer the simplicity of the game

I agree with alot of this. We shouldnt make the weapons slower or faster like era does, they turned buying a cool new gun into a scam of itunes money and time. I also think there should be ways to earn these new weapons, so rich noobs dont just get them right away and make them stupid before they even go for a week, like era.

What Rasp said you'd want the "Hammer" and the "Boomerang".

This would be cool... You'd just have to make all of them equal except with different attributes

He does have a point but i think that it could become more. The limit of technology could lag though. There are plenty of willing pixel artists that would make the graphics and effects. This could also be a different server though, because it would be to much of an RPG and less like the 'classic' classic. iClassic is not how it used to be.

EDIT: There could be a BETA server that you could test everything out on and report bugs and how you like it.

You can already do that, really easy. Just say "setsword yourcodehere.png".

Itd be kick ass if they had a flintlock pistol and sword combo weapon too, though. For a different server, yes. But epic still? Hell yeah.
