Okay, so no Sword Dual-Wielding

[.]

Okay, genuinely tell me as to why you can't dual-wield swords
Especially when the new swords actually consume ammo (And yes, this does actually hint towards the lightning sword being near-useless on Tao, due to only getting stacks on the right-click)

Literally, make us able to left-click spam our way to either victory or our deaths, instead of locking the fun away

More important content, also known as: Still no option to reconnect when the game crashes, forcing you to start your run over in multiplayer

Not only that, but... "Make new animations from scratch"? They don't really need to make new animations, literally just mirror the sword and make it only stab

Multiplayer shows, that there still ain't any jump animations either, so who cares about how it looks, as long as it's fun

I get the impression you think this is simpler than it really is. Do you think it's as easy as imagining the sword in your other hand but reversed? "Make it only stab" I see, so just splice one of the stabbing animations from the alt-fire and see if it works for a single animation, then modify it because the animation speed is not the same as the slicing animation, then only let this work for Ao Bai, because no other character can dual wield, and then...

Do you get where I'm going with this?

^ this, its a lot harder than you'd think.

I'd be content, if you could simply activate dual wield with a 2 hand weapon.
And if you're really hung up one the name dualwield and that's why you can't use it with just 1 weapon, just rename it to metal storm or something.

All the dog really needs is the ability to dual wield using a single one handed weapon and the foundry if no other options are available, so just having a two handed weapon doesn't completely lock him out of his kit. Being able to activate his ability, but not actually dual wield purely for the buff activations when using a two handed weapon would also be nice.

Would love to be able to dual wield swords at some point and just slash away with em. Like have them alternate with double attack speed or something. Wouldn't be as effective as just using guns but it sounds fun, despite the extra work it might take to implement.

The game kinda "needs" to have a "If you have a two-handed weapon like a sword, you will use your ability with Foundry instead" feature

Seeing as picking up the Talisman. any sword or bow makes the dog's ability completely unusable and locks him out of 90% of his ascensions.


Having no talents for something doesn't mean, that it shouldn't be a thing whatsoever
Nearly if not all ascensions related to the dog's ability would work with swords. Hero-specific talents linked to weapons just suggest, that a specific weapon could/may be better for the hero, yet that doesn't ban you from using other weapons.

Just because the bird has ♥♥♥♥♥ for shotguns, doesn't mean that only shotguns are good on him, as an example. The game is literally based around experimenting with random weapons and builds, and making do with what you get.


Not only that, but it's genuinely kinda stupid for a dual-wielder to be able to wield two sniper rifles, yet not two swords.
