Max_Killjoy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Game already has enough suicide-sabers with the staves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaaNie Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 That thing in the trailer is sweet I must say. Now I really want to play an Imperial Force user. OOOOOOOOO I hope I get the Cathar sword from the Hypercrate right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It will be an ultra-rare drop from an upcoming Cartel Market pack, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinnt Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 If there's a way for Disney/Bioware to make money on it, it will appear in the game. So, I'm guessing it will appear in game soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOOOOOOOO I hope I get the Cathar sword from the Hypercrate right now! I think its horrible, theres a reason why the cross guard wasnt bladed, the only person likely to be injured by the "new bits" is the wielder themselves.

Silverspar Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think its horrible, theres a reason why the cross guard wasnt bladed, the only person likely to be injured by the "new bits" is the wielder themselves. It's just as practical as any lightsaber, considering without a cross guard the user is likely to lose fingers if not their hand in an actual melee. But then again, I always laugh at people who will accept all the other light weapons that exist in star wars, including the rather stupid lightwhip, but now a cross guard is going too far and they try to claim it will injure the user first? Like the use of a lightsaber by itself wouldn't cause bodily harm to begin with? I am just shocked that sword design 101 was considered for this new lightsaber.

jedimasterjac Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'd put it off as some sort of more primitive saber, the "cross-guard" being more of an exhaust-type-thing than actual intended blades. Regardless, it looks sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescotsviking Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 God please no, I think it looks utter crap, infact I will donate cartel coins for them not to add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I've always considered most of the "rule of cool" sabers, from the whip to Maul's staff, to be both silly, and best suited for those determined to kill themselves.

HiltoftheDragon Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Only a fool mortal would injure themselves with weapons such as the cross sabre and the other sabre type weapons mentioned here. The people wielding these weapons are force users......huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 We already have Lightsaber hilts with crossguards on them... http://tor-fashion.com/primeval-vindicators-lightsaber/ http://tor-fashion.com/dauntless-avengers-lightsaber/ Just to name a few.

You did notice the beams coming from the sides, right? Neither lightsaber you linked to has that and that's what's being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm fully aware that this thread is a discussion regarding the metal portion of the lightsaber hilt that has a metal crossguard similar to the two lightsabers I linked.

The people wielding these weapons are force users......huge difference. Excuses, excuses. Every bit of concentration and "force power" used to prevent killing yourself with a daft weapon is a bit not used against your opponent. These weapons are featured not because they're more effective, or more deadly, or anything practical -- they exist for one reason and one reason only, to look "cool" and get gasps and cheers out of the ignorant. https://i.imgur.com/sJknHZJl.jpg Edited November 29, 2014 by Max_Killjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed -- it's the lethal bits sticking out of the crossguard that make the saber in the trailer daft. There are reasons that real swords didn't have blades sticking out of the crossguards like that.

So what your saying is that anybody that watches a movie and witnesses anything shiny and flashy....and are impressed by it, are ignorant. Hmmm, i dont think i would ever want to accompany you to any movie....or anywhere in that matter....you would just nick pick everything to death.

Exosasa Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I can live painfully with the stupid cross guard thing. What I dislike is that it... it looks like a blow torch. I know synth-crystals can cause sabers to be thin and... ritchety(?) and unstable, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
