Quivers and Shields

[Kandid Kandace 16]

I'm not really good at conveying ideas, so I'll try to jump in. The idea is to implement two items, a quiver and a shield. Pressing the "Use item" key while having a quiver selected will open it up, showing a one-item container, holding up to 16 arrows. When firing a bow, it will draw arrows from the quiver. This makes way for being able to make specialized arrows, like poisoned or tranquilizer arrows. I originally thought that there could be a slot in the inventory screen for the quiver, but now that I think of it this is a lot cleaner and works with TFC pretty well.

Shields are kind of a side-idea. While right clicking with a sword will block a small amount of damage, right clicking with a sword while having a shield on your hot bar will make you will block much more damage. Right clicking with a shield selected will block even more damage, but you will be completely immobile.

You did your best, Mister Kandid Kandace, but unfortunately... quivers are already suggested and discussed. I am not entirely sure about the shields, though. It might have suggested as well. Based on my research, quivers should contain up to more than just sixteen arrows. Also, they are at least five types of quivers, to begin with. You can't just simply stand there with your shield up and completely immobile. I realized you have to stand there in order to block attacks.

Only if you can shield bash with the shield by left clicking. The concept of something being activated by being next to something else in the inventory has already been implemented with hammers next to chisels, so I imagine the brunt of the work needed is done to make shields activate when placed next to swords.

quivers has been discussed, including a possible javelin quiver, (i think it was within the crossbows thread but anyway)

shields would be for PvP purposes only, it'd be overpowered if you can block skeleton arrows indefinetely with a shield, or stop a zombie with it.

hammer/chisels are activated by both being in the hotbar, not by being next to each other.

Unless my suggestion is implemented...

I C WAT U DID THAT no but seriously, you should always see every suggestion as its own seperate entity, it might very well be that your suggestion gets sniped by dunk, but quivers and shields make the batch (just sayin)

Someone call Agent 47...

[killster550 401]

the best assassin out there IMO is Altair ibn la'Ahad

[Sda215 8]

Let's see who is the best assassin, then!

[killster550 401]

the derail assassin *me*

quivers seems ok, but it shouldnt hold a godlike amount of arrows, so 16 would be fine, also, a javelin quiver system could be implemented with the shield where you hold 1, and stick 2 between the shields holders, thats how they used to bring more than 1 javelin to a fight

Good thing you stopped us from almost derailing the suggestion topic.

Ha! you think you killed the derail, well, the derail will kill YOU! MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!<---- There is nothing suspicious about this space here, what are you looking at anyways? ·-·

In fact, IF a suggestion has been confirmed, you can base your suggestions on the addition of that one, even if it's nt already into the game. It's similar to what you said in that other thread: many people think of suggestions as a unique overhaul of the mod, when they should be a minor part of an update.

Quivers IRL typically hold 24 arrows. jus sayin

Necromancy much? :

im not sure thats necromancy... not even 5 days have passed. YOU'VE done worse ;P

Bioxx likes shields like fat women like chocolate. We just don't know if we have the time or willpower to implement them.

[killster550 401]

there should be one interesting thing you guys need to think about: do shields actually block the attack or just decrease the damage taken? (i think if possible you guys should add a combination, blocking a active strike = full block, and a held down block = migating damage, since the mobs now target anything besides the shield)

[LordOfWolves 514]

Bioxx likes shields like fat women like chocolate. We just don't know if we have the time or willpower to implement them.

But does Bioxx like it or not? Because many fat women hate the chocolate because it's the cause of their fatness. I suppose yes however.

And if shields are going to be implemented can they block arrows that the skeletons throw?

Chocolate consumption can release serotonin and oxytocin in women, causing pleasure and happiness. This is why to most guys chocolate is a food like any other (it tastes good, but thats about it) but why women can act like wild animals going "CHOCOLATE BLAAHAHSDASPJFPAEOFJAFPOJ"
