The Official Weapon Wishlist Thread

[jankiel]

I am loving all the weapon ideas.

 

We are working on some new items using suggestions in this thread.

 

Thanks again and keep them coming!

 

Great to hear!

 

I'd like a rifle in a similar fashion to this one!

Only a tad more black color. Pretty please

[jankiel]

Also, a fresh find.

 

THIS RIFLE IS A MUST HAVE:

This is for a friend of mine.

 

She would love the light whip in place of a light saber. (me maybe not so much lol)

Unless i'm mistaken, a Sith Sword is what we need.

What I would really like to see is more smaller, shorter blaster rifles, preferably in black or gunmetal shades and without a wood-like stock. I prefer sleeker, more compact weapons for most of my characters, especially for Operatives.

 

And won't someone please think of the Twi'leks! I've found, oh, maybe 2-3 modable blaster rifle models I can get my hands on that don't clip too horribly with lekku. This is due both to the stock being shorter and not sticking up through the lekku, and the rifle itself being slimmer and mounted farther from the center of the back. An example of a smaller, shorter blaster rifle like this is the Custom Built Blaster Rifle.

 

Also: slimmer lightsabers! Silver/gunmetal grey or white/gold versions of the Fearless Retaliator sabers (without any other extra splashes of color, which can clash with clothing) would be awesome.

One of the problems with Bounty Hunters is that they wear the biggest and heaviest-looking armor, yet only wield pistols. It makes their guns look undersized. The problem is further exacerbated if the character is a type 3 male. I quite liked the look of the interstellar regulator blaster pistols but they're just too tiny. I'd like to see some much larger pistols that don't look like tiny squirt guns in the hands of a Type 3 male Bounty Hunter. The huge pistol in Rohlan's left hand in this pic is a perfect example of a larger gun:

I'd love to get that thing in the game.

 

More guns like this would really help Bounty Hunters and type 3 smugglers. The Heavy Modified blaster Carbine is an outstanding weapon as well. The sawed-off shotgun look is perfect. For now its the only gun that looks good with a Type 3 male BH in Mandalorianesque gear. Some variants would be appreciated.

Or well basically any Mass effect style weapons, as they vaguely fit the TOR style and look awesome the more the merrier

I saw a twitter post about the " Je'daii Order " today and now I just stumbled across Force-imbued blade.

Does this mean there's going to be Japanese inspired Je'daii armor coming in the future too? (strokes non beardy chin)

I agree. The body type 3 makes any pistol look like a tiny pew pew. I just shrunk my guy to a type 2 body before the power went out this morning. Ha! I hadn't given the BBA guns a try yet, but they seem like the only ones available right now that "fit" with Type 3 male bodies.

I would like lightsabers to be redesigned.

Hilt, beam lenght and beam effect should be separate components.

That would be great. If we could separate hilt and lightsaber beam effect different slot. But this requires more changes to game code. For now im hoping more different effects on lightsaber when turned on or in combat.

 

Last packs with lightsbers have been huge disappointment and their cost in GTN also reflect that. I'm sure Bioware is aware majority people dont like plain lightsabers anymore even if hilt looks different.

What about a weapon like the Atlatl ?

[Zolis]

Lightsaber pikes anyone?

[chillshock]

Visible generators/foki/shields?

For the love of all that is holy, please give us an assault cannon that doesn't look like an oversized stovepipe.

 

The heavy weapons in the SW movies were largely based on real-life machine guns and thus weren't so bulky that they required the physique of Arnold on steroids to lift.

I'd like to see some assault cannons like these in the game:

Now, the main problem here is that they have already kind of painted themselves into a corner.

Alot of their blaster rifles look like these weapons.

So an up-sized blaster rifle with a reverse grip (like the currente assault cannons) would look good (kinda like the one from aliens) and still not look oversized.

[Sarqualin]

In my opinion CD-33 blaster rifle is the best looking on the cartel market but the sound is just awful, really not pleasing to hear... unfortunatelly for most of the guns on cm

On my operative I use Imperial Operative's rifle, from the rifles in game i like it the best but it's like something is missing there.. also on back it looks a bit weird. I found that it has the best sound for me.

There's also M-500 Nova Disingerator it's very similar, i like the idea of butt there, looks more practical, but it looks too robust and on back it looks even weirder

[OddballEasyEight]

Oh and better looking vibroblades.

 

Something more akin to the stuff they had in KotOR.

I much preferred those over the wierd looking ones we get now (especially those whiffle bat looking things that I don't even get why they are called vibro"blades" instead of vibro bats... I mean, there isn't even a blade on them.)

Interesting...

 

But if they are going to bring more steel looking swords then they are in correct path. Currently only and really desired sword ingame is Cathar Honor sword. It sells so high in my server (10m+)

But if the crystal could also change whole blade color, then that would be many many peoples favorite sword.

Heh.. would be nice. Lightsabers are the quintessential hand crafted component based weapons in the SW universe. So, yeah, it would be nice if they embodied this in game with high degrees of customization options.

 

But.... INB4.... they do it and some player deliberately makes a "butter knife" version of their light saber, but then complains that it cannot outdistance a normal light saber in melee. We will of course try to reason with the person.. but it will fall on deaf ears as they squint eyes closed and cover ears mumbling "but Yoda had a butter knife version of the classic lightsaber!!"

/Agree.

 

They really need to make sound a separate mod for weapons, but especially for blasters.

[Andryah]

Hehe.. so maybe what we actually need here is an extension of SWTOR.... SWTOR-Landmark (a la EQN) so players can get their bling-bling needs met by self-design... and excellent designs might actually be adopted and placed into the game. Edited March 25, 2014 by Andryah

I think that this is the best looking blaster rife for a trooper: the A-52 Rancor-X Carbine

The only problem is that it is found on a Voss vendor (can't remember if it's a commendation one or not).

I agree with everyone who hates the "blades" on the end of blaster rifles.

It would make sense if the trooper stock strike was actually a "bayonet thrust".

 

Add my vote to better looking vibroswords --> the "light bat" look is getting very old.

You can also do away with the "surfboard" type swords while you are at it.

[Phantasym]

There are a lot of good suggestions here, a few of my own not sure if any of these have been mentioned.

 

• Gaffe Stick (to go with my sand person armor and Bantha Mount) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gaffe_stick
  
• Disrupter Pistols (disintegrate target on death)
  
• Vibroaxes, the 2h double bladed version or a version as seen here
  http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vibro-Ax
  
• The short bladed offhand lightsaber from saga rpg books,
  
• Light Foil (rapier version of the saber) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightfoil
  
• The classic sportsman sniper rifle from the rpg versions of the game. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sporting_blaster_rifle
  
• Sporting 1h Blaster http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sporting_Blaster
  
• More Light saber hilts with Effects other then the star at the base, the overcharged derelict saber or the ziost guardian one with lighting are great most of the other effects are pretty lack luster.
  
• Some of the staves that have ends that electrify like the anti-jedi guard droids use in the movies.
  
• The Sith swords would be nice too.
  
• As someone pointed out the vibroblade model looking like a bat is horrible. It should look more like the Kotor ones, there are other vibro weapons that could be added too, double bladed vibro sword, vibro-lance, vibro-hammer

So an up-sized blaster rifle with a reverse grip (like the currente assault cannons) would look good (kinda like the one from aliens) and still not look oversized.

 

You could also use Ordo's heavy repeating blaster (which I think had a similar model to the Mandalorian and Baragwin heavy repeating blasters in that game). They were fairly bulky compared to existing rifles but also held in the more traditional rifle sense rather than reverse grip of current assault cannons. My personal preference is for an assault cannon that is fired and held like rifles and has a stock (such as the stormtrooper T-21 you linked to above). Perhaps to distinguish them from rifles they could be bulky like a real world M249 or M60 (since the T-21 is based on a Lewis Machinegun).

 

For ones with the reverse grip I'd also add the Z-6 rotrary blaster cannon (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Z-6_rotary_blaster_cannon) While using the reverse grip of current assault cannons it is noticably smaller than most assault cannons we currently have.

 

Either way I feel that most of the assault cannons we have are suited for heavy infantry but not if you want to play as a light infantry. Which I personally find irritating as when I think of "commando" I think of more highly mobile light infantry that isn't equipped with bulky gear (or perhaps has less bulky variants of the equipment issued to heavy infantry) and most assault cannons don't fit that light infantry image.
