Since the very beginning of runescape, the metal weapons that you can smith and buy commonplace throughout the worldhave remained the same, through alll the updates to other things, they have graphically stayed the same and have remained a single group.

 

 

 

What i want your opinions on is this; What would you think about the following changes:-

 

 

 

Graphic changes to metal battleaxes and warhammers, making the handles slightly longer, and the heads a new shape.

 

 

 

Graphic changes to longswords and swords, making the blades more visible

 

 

 

A new weapon for all metals; 2 handed axe, featureing better stab and slash than a 2hander, but less crush, essentially a battleaxe on steroids.

 

 

 

The 2 handed axe is a logical continuation for smithing really, an axe is simpler to create than a sword, so I think should be included in the game.

 

 

 

With the granite and obsidian maul,Torags hammers and Dharoks Axe, Jagex showed that they can create attractive weapons, why not update the old weapons to a newer style.

 

 

 

What do you think, I wanted an objective opinion before I say anything on the actual runescape forums.

There are halberds, but this really isn't a bad idea.

 

 

 

Another type of sword is the cutlass, which is a long, slender curved blade. It would have better slashing stats but lower stabbing stats than the longsword.

there already are cutlasses though, on mostle harmless. What im proposing are new weapons that arent halberds, morelike 2handers, normal ranges and not members (Although i am one) and just graphical changes to the old metal weapons, bronze through to rune

Like the idea of graphical updates, althoguh with all the graphics work going on lately, i think it's probably already on Jagex's list.
