It would be cool if someone shoots and arrow towards you and that you swing your sword they would be a little chance to cut the arrow and not take damage.
That wouldn't happen if you spam with the sword, needs to be timed.  

No.

No.

Good argument  

It would take long to code, and it would be absolutely gamebreaking, easily exploitable.

Just hold still and they'll bounce off you like a bouncy-ball.

Use your imagination.  

Yes I love this idea. This could ruin those arrow spammers rich kids for good

On what basis do you have for thinking this?

and it would be absolutely gamebreaking

The biggest concern.

easily exploitable.

How? And don't say "use your imagination." If you're going to contribute, actually contribute and back your statements up.




Anyways. The problem is that you already block arrows from the front as long as you're idle/walking, so to add sword to the mix would make you pretty much invulnerable from arrows from the front while PKing. It would make bows pretty much useless on the small scale/1v1 scenarios since sword users could just rush at you and block your arrows.  

I'm all for classic's simplicity. They shouldn't get fancy with that gameplay, so I wouldn't like making arrows less useful and adding a mostly pointless aspect to PK.
I don't think it would take much coding, though... You would just need the coordinates for the arrow and the coding for when a sword hits a person already exists, it would just be applied to an arrow.  

Arrows would be pretty useless besides fighting baddies

Thank you for making some people realise how stupid they're arguments are.And i understand that that this idea isn't going to work.  

Dusty, is it possible to make it if an arrow is blocked, it's actually blocked and won't be seen going through a player and hitting someone else?  

Dusty could you add a delay on bow so you can't bow in spam in riots or other sorts?
