elspath Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 There are so many things wrong with the shield and mystic Knights. Is there anything anyone can do to fix them? I got a couple of ideas but have zero clue if any of them are even possible. Biggest issue with the shield is the bug where there always on your back. this bug has been around sense the ps3 version. I guess the developers are just that lazy ~shrugs~ A way to bypass this is i would like to see a "no shield" texture. Rather just wonder around with a single sword myself. (though should still have a shield to block and cast those terrible shield spells ~laughs~ Plus this is more personal but i think the Mystic knights shields are just too large. They need to be reduced in size around 50%. But this kind of goes back to the no shield idea. Not a big fan of shields (even though blocking in this game is preaty op) If i could i would rather have my LT and RT be all sword abilitys and no shield abilitys. oh well...

CarnivorousGoat Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't think that's a 'bug' at all. I'd imagine they just made it holster on your back because that huge thing sitting on your arm would clip like hell. Could you imagine running around and climbing on ledges with it? Haha that'd be silly. That and I suppose the Mystic Knight was not meant to be alternating between them much like a fighter so the magic shield is more of a tool. And for the size I think it's fine, they're Tower Shields I guess even though they are not called that, that's what they are. I agree with the idea though, I'm a fan of big tower knights and would love to see some nice big shields on your arm and NOT on your back lol. Maybe make some fighter shields MUCH bigger? I think that would be very nice. And Maces for the fighter class of course ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loppysaurusrex Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Glad to see someone else wants this done, stupid shields annoy the crap out of me. Also it's not a bug it's just poor design. Edited January 19, 2016 by Loppysaurusrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elspath Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) When you look at the mystic knights arm when there sword is unsheathed, the arm is held out in a shield holding animation. Plus when pressing block it just kind of appears and then disappears back on to the back when un shielding. Personally this smells like to me there was a bug or a animation glitch that they could not fix within a deadline, so they just left it like this. Unfinished and shitty ;P It happens allot in game development. Edited January 19, 2016 by elspath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagesan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I support your idea. I mean why would you carry around a huge magical shield if it were to be sitting on your back most of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
