Sheathing Weapons

I looked a little bit around the forums for such a suggestion, but couldn't find any. Please note; This doesn't mean there isn't - It just means I didn't look hard enough. ^^;;

In any case, I want to suggest being able to basically put your weapon away, so to speak. Many other MMORPG's have the ability for players to either put the weapon on their side(If small enough) or on their back when they aren't in battle.

This may not seem like a good idea to others, but personally I like it. Even if you had to pay like.. 5 gold or something to gain the ability to do it, I would pay the gold. :P

What do you guys think? Any and all comments are welcome. :)
Please, call me Kiyo. b:thanks

    Unequip it. 'Nough said.

    Seriously though, this may look cool, but what's the point? Plus, how would it come off your backside? Automatically?

    Also, some of the weapons, such as polehammers and certain patakas are kinda too long to be put on your back.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    Well, if you look into many other MMORPGs they have this feature and its not a problem in the least? It shouldn't take long for you to simple hit a hot-key or something to put away and take out a weapon.

    Personally, I think constantly walking around holding your weapon is boring, and for the most part looks kinda dumb. Yeah, you could just unequip it but that's only half the point. It would be cool to see things on people, not just carrying them around.

    As for the longer weapons, it is possible. Just lean it more off to the side the longer the weapon is.

    Lol, it was just a suggestion I thought would be cool. Apparently many others don't..

    Newer Angelica 3D engine games (like JD and ESO) already have this feature. It's just a matter of implementing it in PWI. Why they're not doing it is anyone's guess. Probably something related to the extensive character customization. Or maybe they're just too lazy to redo a bunch of walking/running/idle animations.

    I also think the unsheathed weapons look rather silly when running around. Especially those dual swords/blades. Somebody could get hurt when you flail sharp objects around like that!

    How about a bit of a compromise? Normally, the weapon is visible, like it is now. But under certain situation, flying in particular, the weapon automatically gets sheathed unless fighting (like what happens in the water happens in the air as well).

    When I first started and entered the water, I (Dumba..) stopped swimmimg to look for my weapon. "It must've fallen out of my hands upon entering the water"! Hahaha, I agree with sheathing. However, I have two weapons I carry, and both r Hot Buttoned!. Wonder if u can Hot Button no weapon carry?

    i think it would be cool but it would be a more respect/style addition instead of a praticle one

    because if you have a holster then that means that you have to take the time to reach back and your not afraid hence the respect

    then it might look cool to see a sword sticking out of your back




    lol
