The Meelee weapons sound too Runescapy. Laser whips and all would be cool, but not laser scimitars because it sounds to much like runescape. The ranged weapons sound cool though.

I believe Light Sabres are also copyright of Star Wars :) Sure they might be cool, but remember, this ISN'T Runescape in the future.

EDIT: Why would anyone use an axe to cut trees in the future? o.0

it seems the only new weapon would be a pistol. everything else would be from runescape.

Basically you just took all the weapons from RuneScape and modernised them. I don't think that MechScape would do something like that.

Anyway, for this kind of ideas, you should develop a bit more your thoughts on how each weapon will be used and look like, instead of simply replacing "Rune xxx" or "Dragon xxx" into "Laser xxx" from the RS weapons/items.
Like, what is a laser sword supposed to do ? Isn't a laser supposed to be a ray ? How did you imagine such weapons, made of rays that stops at a certain distance to make a certain sword shape... ?

Ok, we have lasers, what else?

No any form of Lightsaber in mechscape would be extremely, absolutely gay, retarded, and would take the fun out of it, most likely not only would such a weapon be prohibitively expensive, but it would be way, way to powerful. After awhile the price would come down, and everyone would have lightsabers and ruin the game, similar to what happened in star wars galaxies with some updates.


An energy bolt Crossbow, similar to the Wookie Crossbow would be cool, i could see this. But I would want atleast a realistic dagger that could do good damage if hit in the right place. And i want Energy based guns.

Laser Dragon Claws pl0x. I'm hoping there isn't such unimaginative weapons :P

I really hope they come up with a bit more unique names than just adding [insert material] [insert generic item].

Lasers are lasers. They shoot in a straight line and if they're strong enough then they can burn through stuff. They don't magically stand still so that they can be used as a cheesy melee weapon and I hope Jagex keeps it that way.

I hope each faction has it's own unique weapon set. Humans would obviously have variations of guns and knives and such. I would be interested as to what robots and pliigi would have...

Umm I can do that too... Lazer Guthilazar Godlazer...

Honestly I have a feeling we'll see more gun related stuff( pistol, rpg, etc)

That's what i'm hoping for.

At best i can see, maybe one or two, or 3 or 4 maybe 5 tops Melee based weaponry that have names similar to rs weapons to pay homage to the game.

Have they said or even mentioned, there will be weapons ?

i wouldn't mind some high powered bazooka sort of beam shooting thing though... :)

Meh, Lasers >.<
I'd prefer something more like real ammo and guns..
Not just lasers.. Melee weapons would be kinda outdated by this time anyway..
I mean if you get really close to someone I could see them pulling out a knife or something, but melee wouldn't work as often as a good ol' fashion gun and ammo would.

Lasers seem like the easy, outdated, overused way out.

Its really impossible to have a laser melee weapon, since the laser would just shoot away from the hilt at lightspeed. A laser sword would basically be a laser pistol, just held differently.

I really really REALLY hope that Jagex isn't going to make use of laser weapons. At least not for handhelds. It's way too unrealistic for my taste.

A laser cannon (if it's going to be an actual weapon) should be huge and bulky. Not small and portable. A laser pistol in my opinion would fit onto a smart-car.

The laser melee idea (as it's been said before) would be ineffective. It'd spray out forever. It'd tear up the room and the ground and probably you.

I really hope melee isn't a key part in Mechscape. Bringing a knife to a gun fight never ends well, and it never should. (Mechscape won't be a fantasy game wrapped up in chrome paper.)



ADDITION: Also, the laser arrow for a bow would be a waste of perfectly good bow. The laser arrow would be a stick with a 40 pound beam emitter on the front. It would be more useful to hold it and run around instead of shooting it.

OK runescape weapons and armour

Magic/Range/Melee

Mechscape Weps and arm

Lazers and guns

GangsterScape weps and arm

Sagging pants and 9mms

Err... in my opinion when Jagex stated "this will not just be RuneScape in space" I did not envision MechScape having the same types of weapons just with laser in front of them instead of rune or dragon. I'm hoping for something far more original when it comes to MechScape, after all they have said they think it different to anything currently on the market.

Try to be more creative with your ideas, the potential is certainly there. Try to think a bit more outside the box and give each a bit more of a description than "Laser weaponxxx." Try to explain how it could be used, how it differs from other weapons, upgrades etc etc. I wish you luck, 'tis a difficult task.

E: Tip: Try to see it from Jagex's point of view, think what they would really want in the game and what cliches of the genre they would try and leave out. Also, if possible, pictures!

I think there should be alot more ranged weapons.
Like a bsr mk 1 (begginers sniper rifle mark 1)
to start of with. Then you would go on to,
death seeker 80.cal (mid difficulty level)
and the scopes could be like set so that when you press [zoom] it makes a scope and gos into 3d.

Also bieng able to add stuff and colour/decal your weapons-like pistol with scope and woodland camo!

I think;and many other people would think, that this would be great because it would give the
world of customisation a new level and possibly get more people to play on mechscape.

SO basicly your walking around with a silenced lazer double barrel lazer pistol (youv'e modded your weapon for more power)
with a nice blue urban camo on sertian areras of your gun(like ms piant like where you can draw on your weapon and use templates)

This overall would make the game alot more fun and a big bonus to ms.!!

As if modern day weapons would do anything to a space ship. This is the future, they have cool lasers and stuff!

I do agree that customisation of everything, even just colour would be cool.

You can't silence a laser :P

It's made of light particles. There's no sound to it.

I guess you could put a soundproof box around the weapon itself if the generator's noisy.

What will most likely happen is on land there could be a blend of bullets (which would be the main ground weapon) and laser guns, while in space battles laser firepower will be prominent. Tanks and stuff could use a laser cannon or particle cannon.

Stuff like that

have you read mechscapes logo lately? "Mechscape is not Runescape in space"!!!!

Edit: and yes, I am aware that that is not Mechscapes official logo..

Mech integrated machine guns, character sub machine guns both with traditional metal bullets too. Im sure there will be laser weapons too that are limited by like energy source. Melee weapons should be in too for both Gundam and character. That is if futuristic armor gives enough protection from lasers/bullets lol. No one mentioned space-age magic, in which we get intune with Aquarius and Gunz the duel! Just kidding that game was awful and kidding on magic, although there could be psychic powers for some races, that's seen in sci-fi sometimes.
Oh yeah missiles und bombers too.

How about laser dragon armor? <-WRONG!

MS isn't "Runescape in space" so I don't support this kind of weapons.

i hope the combat isnt like the WoW way. because you cannot do ranged moves when your close up to an enemy, instead u take out a melee weapon. similar to mechscape. jagex said there would be both melee and ranged weapons in mechscape and i hope they dont follow the aspect of WoW, that u take out melee weapon in close range

that sounds kewlio


oh one more thing....how do i get an image for my username pic?

perhaps bulelts will be prominent on land, as said above a few posts. i mean, wouldnt bullets be a lot easier/cheaper to mass produce than lasers?

Now that's more like it. I'd love to see multi-manned gunships/tanks/mechs. That'd require extreme teamwork to be effective. (And probably cost the clan a hell of a lot too!)

Not to be rude, but for Ren sake learn to spell the bloody word LASER. There is NO z in laser!

L.A.S.E.R - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation


A laser goes in a straight line and continues, it's not going to just stop a point for no reason. So the weapons would either work as the would in real life or just seem stupid.

Laser weapons have been in many Sci-fi movies and books, so they wouldn't be stupid...

I mean think about it: Lightsabers in Star Wars, the Particle Beams in Star Trek, etc.

It wouldn't be out of place.

I don't watch Star Trek but Particle Beams sound more like an accelerated particle weapon and not a light particle emitter. I migh tbe wrong since I'm judging by the name. D:

Eek... this just bursted my thoughts of MechScape.
I pictured in MS that you would be just jumping around on Planets like Moon and stuff lol.
And exploring and stuff, and yeah... Not like fighitng "ACTUAL" stuff with Lazers and yeah you know what I mean?

Hmm... I wish there aren't any swords or whips.
So old...
But Guns are fine, just they shouldn't have put a "scape" at the end of the name.
People would recognize it from RuneScape and think its just a new version and rant..

I kinda went off topic.

Mechscape may not be the actual name for the game.

I would like to point out this game is aimed at an older audience. Meaning they would not like a bunch of bull crap laser handhelds. You know what you're doing? You're naming Runescape weps/tools with the word "Laser" in front. You're probably some 8 year old kid or a dude with a really bad imagination.

o.O
But why did they make so many domains to do with "MechScape".

Lol I can just imagine that conversation in the jagex office:

"So, we've got lasers, lasers and lasers. What else shall we have?"
"I kinda liked the laser idea."
"Ok, so we got lazers, lazers, lasers..."

its gotta have more than one weapon type. Jagex themselves said "Other MMORPGs make levelling difficult to cover up for a lack of content." I don't think they'd use this as a negative point, then do it themselves.

I was thinking maybe shutguns (futerized of course) and
maybe energy shooters, they hit and explode. That'd be cool =]

Melee weapons are all Runescapey, and the only one I really like is the Mech bow, as all the other ones are Laser this and Laser that.

Here's one: Doctor Who's Sonic ScrewDriver

Very unoriginal ideas.... man this game is not runescape in space. that would kill it. its a totally new combat system.

What about a laser chaingun? It would be a chain gun that shoots bullets that look like lasers. It would be perfect for the sci-fi theme.

Laser this, Laser that <.< "Laser ___" is not exactly unique either :P. And any names I could post would be from other sources (anime, games, whatever)..so I'd rather not =)

Why does everyone think melee = runescape? I've always imagined something like a sword infused with energy, ya know?

It's not that melee = runescape it's melee = mecha . Mecha are more like suits (ie Mobile suit gundam) where as Mech's are walking weapons platforms (ie. Battletech). Mecha are also protrayed as much as things of beauty as weapons (like a katanna). Mech's on the other hand are weapons of war (like a tank). I personaly am hopeing for mechs not mecha.

some weapons I would like to see are

-rail guns (the big ones)
-EMP bombs
-plasma torches
-dark mater grenades
-mini guns
-rpg
-uranium tipped bullets
-force fields, plasma fields,
-carbon based armor (for lasers)
-lasers :P
-micro razor weapons (one molecule thick blades)
-napalm, cant have a war without fire
-artillery strikes

Sorry, but this doesn't sound realistic- as everyone has previously stated, just adding Laser infront of the runescape name doesn't work. >_< Hopefully they have moderner type guns. Such as a Kruger or an AK47, something like that. Laser melee weapons can be put it but they will have to be rare and something added as not to make it to generic. Laser melee weapons are possible, except very difficult to acomplish. It would be much easier to have steel weapons with a thin laser running along the edge of the blade, the laser can be directed with electromagnets, I think.
