Request: Alternate Weapon Types

[DWolfwood]

I respond with my videos linked in which Lloyd painstakingly explains exactly how...that's not true.

Another thing you're missing, is that nearly all scythes used in fantasy games is not the same as the agricultural scythes he's referring to. He specifically reiterates that he's speaking in regards to the "agricultural" scythe.

War Scythes are 100% real on the contrary as well. They're just not visually what people think of when they imagine them.

You don't swing a scythe in the same manner the way you'd swing a great sword. It'd look very awkward with the current DRK animations unless they came up with new ones (which is a lot more development time if we're talking animations).

Not to mention while scythes were historically used, they are far from practical compared to pitch forks due to the unwieldy nature of it, and war scythes are basically lances at that point.

I'm definitely aware the issues surrounding implementation of this, but it's a request regardless. The animations for DRK would have to be tweaked, yes. Alternatively, I would support a DPS that used them as well.

As for how the "war scythes" look, yes, I know they don't look like what we envision when we think of scythes, but neither do agricultural scythes. The type of scythes I, and many members of the community, would be requesting look like this guy's:
