In the Dead City expansion, that is coming to Arcane Legends next week, there will be new Premium weapon types available for each class:


Warriors can get a Sword and Shield
Mages can get a Rifle
Rogues can get a Bow


Here are some sneak peek pictures at the new premium weapon types along with new armor and vanity looks for your characters.

Warrior's Sword and Shield
21469

21470

21471


Sorcerer's Rifle
21472

21473

21474

21475


Rogue's Bow
21476

21477

21478

21479

These items will only be available as Premium items from the Store in the Dead City expansion. Future expansions may add them as loot drops. Like all items in Arcane Legends, they will be tradeable and we imagine there will be a pretty big secondary market for these items on the Consignment Shop.

That little taste of the map on the last screenshot reminds me of Alien Oasis from PL, which happens to be the greatest expansion in all of STS titles in my opinion.
Looks like I'm going to like this update.

My question is, since these weapons are plat bought, will it be one of those random chance chests again or can we buy the item straight up?

Love em all. Awesome work!! But the last warrior helmet looks.... hum... a lil bit like a horse head.....lol? xD

Will there still be duel daggers for the rogue? I'm guessing there will be but just want to double check since I love playing my rogue with the duel daggers.


Would be awesome if we could have a primary and secondary weapon slots like in O&C, that way rogues could have daggers+a bow, warriors could have a 2h weapon + sword/shield setup, I don't know how mages would work but it could be pretty awesome for different situations.

Cool a bow for rouges = easier class to play. I hope the farmable elite gear consists of bows and shield too

This is a good step for rogues, now rogues can properly have two build types to choose from. If u want to go for good STR then u can choose daggers as they are short range attack and u may get hit a few times standing near to enemies while if someone has very low STR then they can use bow for long range attacks.

Though I am not excited about the BOW itself, some other long range we along would have been better, this is just like AIMED SHOT. Now we have three types of bows, why so many bows... :'(

My idea was better, pick up and throw rocks at enemies. :-P

Yes an orb or a wand would have been better. For rogues, throwable darts kinda weapon would have been better, something like a shuriken maybe.

so when you charge you basic attack with the new weapons how does it work?
sword/shield does short range aoe similar to 2H weapon
rifles does aoe on impact similar to fireball but small radius
bow pierces through all mobs to max distance?? that would be a fun new charge effect to be different than the small range aoe

I kept laughing because when I read the whole comment list and you said this three times and no one responded, it reminded me of a little kid who couldn't get their parents' attention. Sorry, that's just what came to my mind. :chuncky:

As for the rifles, why do mages get a rifle? It should just be a wand that casts projectiles. It would seem more legitimate.

Will it be possible to make dungeons/maps private for solo'ing like on Dark Legends? I hope you will consider this on future updates/patches. Not all of us like to " speed " fight to the boss. Arcane Legends is a great game, keep up the good work STS....to all players reading this tread....merry x-mass and a happy new year to you all :-)

Yeah. Does seem more legitimate that a little blue blob the can shoot fireballs and lighting bolts would be running around with a wand instead of a gun.

Technically it's a new arcane invention. Instead of channelling it's arcane energy through the caster like what wands do, this device shoots them from a magical focus on the front. The term "rifle" can be looked at in many ways, and I like to think of it more as an arcane cannon.

Growwle
12-12-2012, 08:27 PM
@everyone. If Kraag has cannons, then gunpowder has been invented, so it would be very likely that someone, like say a sorcerer, would be able to figure out how to make a hand-held version.

Energizeric
12-13-2012, 12:44 AM
Will there now be an inventory slot for shields, or will swords & shields come together as a pair and be one inventory item that goes in the weapons section? (I think the second option would actually be better)

Not only that.

If a shield gives a huge advantage to tanks, does that mean that people which are reluctant to dump money into this game actually won't be able to use a class to it's full potential until the next content update?
If that'll be the case.... sorry, that stinks like greed and you'll have lost a player.

While I agree with you, I must point out that a lot of sombodies are buying them, thus STS keeps them in the market. If we all as a group quit buying them, they would be removed. STS is a business, after all, and their first priority is to make money to pay the bills. Vote with your wallet, not by coming onto the forums and begging for this to be changed.

How am i not supporting them when i am buying plats and spending them? Its just unfair to me I spend over 50 plats for sth that another lucky dude spend just 7 plats. I'm just not into lottery and gambling. Like in real life, for example one could choose to enter a lucky draw for a chance to win an ipad, or pay a heftier sum and get it straight from apple store.
STS, its not good to encourage gambling with real money.

Never said you weren't supporting them. Buy your plats, please. I would if I could. All I'm saying is these chance packs shouldn't be bought. If they quit selling, they would be removed eventually. As it is, there are a lot being sold so they are here to stay for the forseeable future. As for your "not into lottery or gambling" comment... You still spent 50 plat on them, so I find that difficult to believe. I suppose your answer will be "How else am I supposed to get that stuff?", and my answer would be "You don't, or buy it from the cs." It's a pretty crap deal all around, though.

I just wanted to add another opinion for Spacetime Studios , you guys are awesome but seriously... a rifle for the mage? That's almost as messed up as yuna in final fantasy x2. I'm only saying. Honestly it should have been a wand or orb at least. I'm not the only one that agrees and I'm pretty sure everyone right now wouldn't be sad if you ditched the idea, heck even later down the road and you decide to swap out the image design and animation.

I'm loving the new guns! It took me some experimenting, but I've realized that the max damage on the guns is indeed higher than traditional sorcerer staffs. This does actually raise my spell damage, which has definitely enhanced overall dps for fighting bosses, etc. I can't wait to get capped and see how lvl 21 guns work versus elite bosses!
