How do you figure? How about make an actual point rather than say something vague  : ^)

just add "arcane" in front of "flintlock pistol" and i think we're good to go

[Kvasir 1121]

no, this is a terrible idea. Stop it. Please re-purge.

[Josh3738 3137]

No.

It would just be power-gamed. Except for 'oh look cool new stuff and DIVERSITY!!!' there is no reason to implement it. This is a medieval fantasy server, leave it that way. We have several types of arrows and magics - guns are not needed.

But yeah seriously guys consider Swgr's point of firearms NOT BEING STRONGER than conventional magic/crossbow, they just exist to LOOK GOOD.

Except, perhaps, limited cannon use as an alternative trebuchet for technologically advanced races (dwarves). 

Like that rune cannon the dwarves tested on you back in Vailor end-map :,) 

Laughed so hard. 

You're a chill guy Aesop! :3

I see no issue with it, so long as it is roleplayed properly. You might argue "but you can't dodge a bullet" you can't dodge a crossbow bolt, or an arrow either.

 

"It doesn't fit the theme."

A couple of fantasy settings have firearms, Warcraft and Warhammer being examples.

I feel like this is how it'll go with somewhat inaccurate firearms.

No? The new amendment added in a second rift so you could make 2 portals and shank someone by stabbing through one and having the blade appear through the other.

Wait a second, this exists on the server but we can't have low tech fire arms?

[Birdnerdy 1539]

On a more serious note, I have some problems with the argument that we should discount the idea of having firearms because of how they can be powergamed. We already have a ton of magic bullshit on the server that can kill someone a lot quicker than a gun, things that take several emotes to prepare and an approved MA. I think by applying a similar philosophy to guns would be a good solution. In order to rp the use of a firearm, you have to have an approved app for it or some other way to verify you can be trusted to rp it without powergaming it.

 

These items are meant to be something optional to use for rp aesthetic. I can't see myself using firearms beyond rping a gunner regiment in the Golden Crow (which would be awesome), just because the types of players who will most likely be using them play humans doesn't mean they are incapable of rping them properly.

Please, no. There's really no way to test it, because once implemented it's near impossible to remove, because how is that explained? Besides, I personally don't understand why fire-arms would be the next step in our technological pathway, or if we even should have a technological pathway. I'm not claiming that the fire-arms will ruin the server, or will be more power-gamed than other pieces, I just don't feel that they fit within the server and that's all I really have to say on the matter. 

[Starfelt 1437]

Please.. no.

It'll be a new thing for people to powergame with.
