The harp is a lie.

[elreed]

i dont see the big deal here, bard its not the only job archer will especialize, they said that musketeer was gonna be there when jobs are implemented, so maybe in the first expansion we'll get our loved ranger or hunter with those 2 classes in the mix.

So in a few words stop this lame whining i really like the idea to have my main as buffer and bad ass damage dealer, dont you think they're giving too much love to archer? if right now is a very busy dungeon class with this job we'll get almost all the invites.

In my op. thm would have been a better bard because the debuff spells it has and adding buff spells would have made it an [impossible to gauge] job

There's a pretty convincing image a few pages back that fills in the obscured parts of it - despite being speculative, it seems much more likely that what you're seeing is an elaborate halberd. Lu-Bu Style.

Lu Bu's Halberd

The curved blade on that halberd is more of a crescent shape, the curved blade in the Famitsu cover looks like it definitely extends outward in a single direction and upward. It just looks far too long to be the curved section of a halberd. Also the curved section of the halberd starts in the middle and extends up and down, not outward in a single direction.

Edit: And if we're talking about the little slightly curved blade on the other end, that would be far too short to be what's in the picture there. The blade on that weapon curves outward and upward a good distance.

seems like the harp opens up like a blade in a swiss army knife. pull the harp back down and you can play, flick it open, harp moves up and shoots things.

basically, the harp operates as the top half of the bow, when the harp is pulled back down you dont have a bow sticking out.

hard to explain x.x

What a troll magazine cover this has ended up to be. lol

Obviously this is just an indication of the long-suspected 'archer nerf patch.' SE has decided that ARC can still be powerful, but he while he's doing that he also has to play the battle music and fight lefthanded. You know, so it's fair.

you cant be completely analytical over a drawing. If 50 people say its a harp, and 1 person cant give any other legit explanation as to what it could be, then its a harp...

The earth is flat.

The earth is flat.

Well I have a legit explanation to contradict that statement. Through scientific research we have found that the world is in fact round. we can go around the world and see that you will come to the same point, thus you cant fall off so the world is, yes round.

In the above statement I have basis for what I'm saying. I said the bow-harp is a transformer right from the start, and I had evidence based on the shape and hinges. No other perception of the weapon had grounds to be what people were trying to label it. In fact Bayhone, just told us its a transformer bow, so there is further "proof".

So let me reiterate to you. If 50 people say its a bow-harp, and 1 person has no proof to call it something else, it is infarct what it is. Dont try to be smart with me. Honestly Eekiki I thought you would be one to be accepting of a bow-harp.

My point is back when the majority of the population believed the earth to be flat, that was the arguement they used.

People who found the earth to be not flat had basis for what they said. They didnt just say, "oh the earth is round."
1 person with proof can definitely sway the minds of 50, but without proof you sound kinda ridiculous.

I'm so so sorry Eekiki... According to one of the latest dev posts, it isn't a lie.

Better luck next time ^^
