Re: More BM artifact variants
While I agree I really do like all of the bow options, I also kind of dig the eagle-eye gun they've got there. But then again, my hunter's already built her own guns a thousand times, so I am down with the gun in general, BM or no.
But gosh all those bows sure are pretty. A shame I'm not into MM.

Re: More BM artifact variants
I think they could honestly solve the problem with hunters if they let us choose which weap we wanted. They let us Tmog bows over guns and guns over bows now. Why not give us the option if we wanna go bow or gun, then 'lock us in' like some have suggested?
On the one hand it'd solve our problems and most of us would STFU.. on the other hand.... other classes might all want to 'pick' their weapons then and they'd be stuck.
Still as my BM is and always has been my main, from Vanillia... I don't really care about that. lol.
It might be easier if the guns didn't look like green quest rewards from Wrath too... I mean I have what.. 3.. 4 "Elek guns" already that are more BA and detailed that that one. And the standard just looks like an Elek trunk crossed with the current engineering gun.
They lack the 'Epic' and gravitas other artifacts have. Can you really line that gun (Any of them) Up beside the Doomhammer or Ashbringer??

Re: More BM artifact variants
Well, beyond the whole gun-hate thing here... NONE of the weapon designs for us have been inspiring in a long time... as I said previously, there's a reason I still transmog to Ulduar guns.Pepsi Jedi wrote:They lack the 'Epic' and gravitas other artifacts have.

The Eagle-Eye gun is pretty nice, but it certainly doesn't say artifact.

Re: More BM artifact variants
They've hinted that some artifacts may have special effects or even change certain spells. Hopefully the gun does something along those lines. I don't mind it actually, but I agree it's lacking a bit in the "artifacty" department. That's why I'm hoping it has fancy effects tied to it.

Re: More BM artifact variants
I'm a BM BOW hunter. To say I'm not happy being stuck with a gun is a serious understatement. :/ I've used inferior bows and passed on gun upgrades simply because it's a gun (this was before xmog).

Re: More BM artifact variants
Maybe if they made them somehow less noisy (your own pets could get scared, as most animals and possible game could) and more beast-themed models like the one with the cobra, the artifact would be appreciated more. Right now, it doesn't really fit with the fantasy in some cases, but with more possibilities to choose, it would certainly fit.
Maybe they could make a bow variation for this one, and a gun for MM too?

Re: More BM artifact variants
Er, I don't think that our pets being frightened by guns is really a possibility at this point. That's the least of our pets' worries in the Warcraft universe.Araucaria wrote:Maybe if they made them somehow less noisy (your own pets could get scared, as most animals and possible game could) and more beast-themed models like the one with the cobra, the artifact would be appreciated more.

Re: More BM artifact variants
Didn't they ditch the gun noise awhile ago anyway? I never use them but I'm pretty sure that happened?

They changed the gun sound effect, but there still is one. The new one's not as annoying.Castile wrote:Didn't they ditch the gun noise awhile ago anyway? I never use them but I'm pretty sure that happened?

Re: More BM artifact variants
They did indeed, the guns are very quiet now. I've heard a lot of complaints that they sound like staplers... personally, I like the quieter sounds.Castile wrote:Didn't they ditch the gun noise awhile ago anyway? I never use them but I'm pretty sure that happened?
I think it would be nice if more weapons had unique sounds, so you could choose to have softer or louder weapon noises.
Re: More BM artifact variants
Somehow I feel this thread is going to last 3 years... the gun hate is too strong.
Despite guns being part of the BM lore.. if it wasn't for the whole Dark Ranger thing, I'd say we petition Blizz to change the weapons between MM and BM.. and the the petless gun owners could go hide someplace for the remainder of Legion..

There are a few guns that certainly should have some different sounds.. zaps and such.Equeon wrote:They did indeed, the guns are very quiet now.

Re: More BM artifact variants
Yup, that's why I said more. Weapons should feature more unique sounds like the Amber Sprayer or the CM gun.

Even different levels of volume variation for gun noises would be great.

Re: More BM artifact variants
A better look at some of the gun models. At least this one isn't terrible, I can live with it, but it doesn't strike me as particularly epic, just a cool gun I might get in a dungeon or raid and use for a bit.
Re: More BM artifact variants
The second model is nice, I'd use that one. The rest are just meh though. I don't hate guns - I use them about 50% of the time. But these models are largely unimpressive to me.

The cobra gun looks like it could be some kind of gun/crossbow/bolt slinger/hybrid thing? Hard to say until we can see it in 3D.

Re: More BM artifact variants
The cobra gun is so neat in concept but man, it just does not appeal to me at all in design.

Re: More BM artifact variants
I'm fine with using a gun. I think my issue it just seems a bit lackluster of a design, especially since this gun is supposed to be crafted by the titan Mimmeron. Knowing that I kinda expected it to you know be something of a big crazy mechanical contraption, like his ulduar creations. Out of all the models we seen so far the cobrashot is the only one I like.
Re: More BM artifact variants
I'm really really really really underwhelmed with Titanstrike design thus far.
