monkeypoacher 8055 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Guns don't make sense in Lord of The Rings, nor Lord of The Craft. Still, they curb the plethora of stupid combat magic that exists to make RP combat impossible for realistic renaissance/medieval characters. I support. On second thought, we could implement mechanical and chemical means of combat that aren't magic or simple sword/bow and arrow fighting, like firework cannons, enchantments of various combat propensity, archimedes' fire, throwing acid, smoke bombs, and things to entice clever strategic RP instead of brute force or egregiously powergamey or just generally bland magic RP.

Joe_Blackman 253 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Might as well lock the thread, it's nigh impossible for there to be guns in LoTC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldrith 717 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I thought that this relm was the players, we make the lore and decide what is best. I really want to make a vote.... Or a poll. Can someone do that ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightangale 10 Share Posted June 28, 2014 You could have made one when you started the topic. However, in the end, the lore master decides and he is against it I am afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPT 771 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I thought that this relm was the players, we make the lore and decide what is best. I really want to make a vote.... Or a poll. Can someone do that ? If you would like a poll to soothe the fact that not many people want to break out of the fantasy then make a poll, however know two things. One it wouldn't pass by the player base and two it would need at least a small amount of backstory rather than some person wanting to have a gun. Both things are required to make it happen, meaning this is still a realm made by the players, but not just one player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rig 17591 Share Posted June 28, 2014 As much as I like the idea of Princess Monunuki guns being added, and seeing such cool badass stunts pulled off, it would not really click with a lot of the player base, and it wouldn't provide enjoyable rp. It just adds another weapon to the arsenal of power-gamers, it also adds another weapon into the arsenal of every war-bent person who ants to banditize, thieve, and be a general pestilence to the game. I love villainy, but with guns it'd lose it's edge, it'd be less thrilling. That's my opinion though. PS: You'd probably see people misuse this, and get banned. It's a very confusing subject, people might invent a new gun that's better. That's why the L.T. doesn't want this path. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroyer_Bravo 1054 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If we can have boatplanes then we can have muskets If we can't have boatplanes then we can't have muskets it would most likely be placing gunpowder, sliding ball down tube, placing more gunpowder, aim, fire, 5 emotes? Problem is, that's still not slow enough. To be fair, the musket took like 40 steps to reload until optimized to like 22 steps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891 Share Posted June 28, 2014 People have basically already said my piece for me, but muskets (or any guns for that matter) are a no-no. We used to have cannons on Lord of the Craft and they were supposed to be restricted to one group; they leaked, just as almost everything does and they caused some serious community issues when people started using them. Guns will be the same. Additionally, guns have no mechanical representation, so they just wont work and plus, if they were ever to be used in an emote fight (which I can not for the love of me fathom why you would want to emote fight), they are a one way street to powergaming.

Kaun 102 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Guns would ruin the feeling of Roleplay on the server; it would be terror to code most likely; people would find 34759023 bugs with it because any gun plugin I've seen can be exploited no matter how much you try to fix it; and it'd be a massive pugsy capable weapon if said bugs are found. Simply put, no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lark 2227 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Look, it was just an idea... I just wanted it to have a chance. You can have ideas. Just not gun ideas. I mean, this is LotC. What did you expect? Loose lore restrictions and a fun and healthy roleplay environment where everyone tries to help each other improve and get along? That your idea would be put down gently and not as harshly as people have done? No, this is LotC..the #1 MC Roleplay server. Its a good idea, don't get me wrong. But unfortunately giving the community guns is not in anyone's best interest right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
