    Floating Weapons

    I know this has been a common thing since the dawn of MMO's, where when you sheath a weapon on your back or side it just floats there magically.

    Wouldn't it be nice though if we could have some sheaths that the swords went into, and like leather straps or something for bows and staffs.

    I do not know why the floating weapons bother me but it does.

    Eh

    It would be nice but at the same time, for example a paladin sword, if it had a sheath, it'd be cool to see the sheaths, but at least for me, it would kinda suck that I couldn't see my swords blade unless I had it in hand.

    Also imagine glowing weapons while in a sheath. Ew

    It depends.. How do you feel about clipping. That's really the reason for the floating weapons.

    You do realize that just how they make custom quivers for bows, they can make custom individual sheaths to match the swords right?

    AST has a "sheath" that is useless. Sword users have no "sheath". Ok....

    AST doesn't have a sheath. AST has a Star Globe and a Card Holder. Together they make the AST weapon.

    It looks like a sheath and is worn like a sheath. I know what it really is. Hence "sheath".

    It's actually not useless. It holds the AST deck of cards.

    Again I know what it really is. But I don't interact with it at all, it just sits there. And maybe it is just me but I'd rather keep my card deck in something like a much smaller MCH "box" than the current AST "sheath". The "sheath" makes me want to strap it to my arm, play the cards on it, and believe in the heart of the cards.
