By shields "like Elder Scrolls" I assume you mean like Oblivion and Fallout 3, which would be best
Also, Pirates, Vikings, and Knights for Half-Life had flintlock firearms and was in FPS format (yeah yeah, it's only a mod)

I don't think that the combat is terrible but there are definitely ways it could be made much better. Some kind of shield would be a huge plus.
I don't think Minecraft absolutely needs firearms but they would be really fun. You don't really see primitive firearms in games.
It seems to me like Notch wants to take it in a strong fantasy direction, which disappoints me some. It's all pretty stereotypical. Been done before. I don't think any game should have slimes. They've been first on the rpg enemy roster since when? Dragon Warrior in 1986 or something? Skeletons too. What's next? Black magicians? A bunch of different golems would crush me.
Actually, the slime is a creature from the original Dungeons and Dragons (1974)
It's probably just lifted from earlier "blob" characters though

"When we release a pure bugfix update, people get VERY upset ("NOTHING CHANGED!").. Adding features gives us much happier users. But I do realize that it's only happier users in the short term." - Notch
Notch said no. no means no.
I am tired of people who think fun is killing people with guns, even virtually.
And has already said that he will add different tiers of bows.
Sorry for being blunt. And I sound cross but Im not. :biggrin.gif:
BTW I can think of Flintlock ect. weapons. Pirates of the caribean and Sid Miers pirates.

We're in the suggestions forum, a place where we suggest stuff, and give feedback on the game's direction, plus as you can tell no one wants to implement a machinegun. I find it quite petty Notch won't check out our discussion just because it's a damn gun.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I mean really, do you think we're all gun or fps fanatics?
i was thinking once he made it so there was established serverlists and stuff for smp, he could make a mod for it so its like a team on team deathmatch kinda thing with guns in your inventory that you could use with set ammo like a automatic bow without retrievable ammo
Even though notch said "No" to guns, which i completely agree with, having a discussion on the subject isnt wrong in any sense, its just a way to explore the game further.
I would like to see Cannons in game though :tongue.gif:
I got this Idea when Red Stone came out. When redstone becomes active it sort of glows but admits no light. So I thought "How could this be used as a weapon?" that's when I thought of this. Basically, its a fire arm based weapon the doesn't do much damage on impact. But the creature suffers damage over time, and red glowing specs appear over their body. The effect can be stacked, so if you hit him 2 times, he will suffer double the damage and the specs will glow brighter. Obviously, this weapon probably won't be used for those normal run of the mill enemies. But for the stronger ones, this could be a great sidearm. But you'll need to use flint to fix its durability.
Note: The ammunition doesn't have to be redstone, it could be something else.

I am in full support of this arquebus idea, honeslty i feel these "rapid fire" bows in the game already bring us closer to an FPS then a single shot ever 2-3 seconds from the arquebus ever will, not that they are making it an FPS either.
Bring on magic and fantasy, but also bring in the assault rifles.
No. I have nothing against the possiblity of rifles, but NO modern firearms. You are a guy building things with your bare hands with maybe a hammer that comes with the crafting table. You are not a factory which can process machine guns and rocket launchers.

By balance, do you mean make it totally worthless?
Instead of having you go into the inventory, go like gmod's pirate ship wars did with a one shot clip and 5 second reload animation. That way you could still move while reloading. If you cant get two shots off with the gun before the mobs get to you, then the rifle becomes useless, and nobody would waste the iron.
Also, guns do not turn the game into a fps, if the guns are simply flintlock rifles.

~ I've thought about the phrase 'Money is the root of all evil' and I have to disagree. Evil isn't dependant on an object. I say that want is the root of all evil.
I dislike your assertion that it is the age of the weaponry that denotes the game type, when it is in fact completely down to the style of the game..
The reason this happens is because people for some reason are still hung up about Minecraft being "Medieval" even though we have pocket watches, Railroads, 16 bit computres, and so much more.
NO GUNS. Or, make it optional. A mod. But otherwise.
NO GUNS IN VANILLA.
None. I do NOT support.

Proudly wanting Classic Alpha to truly become Survival Alpha. Mobs killing blocks, ridiculously powerful beasts, and insanely unfair gameplay. Classic Alpha is boring. I want SURVIVAL alpha! Eh? Eh? ***** all you want.
Wow, this is getting so ridiculous now since everyone and their mother believes guns will be game-breaking and OP by default.
Here's an idea: Bows are good from medium to long ranges, and are reliable. They don't break and they don't degrade. Crossbows, if implemented, will probably be some sort of sniper weapon.
Now: What if guns are treated like the scatter rifles in the revolutionary war? These were the earliest version of the shotgun. They were rifles that were filled with multiple ball bearings instead of one.
This would turn the guns in this game into short to medium range weapons great for ambushes against multiple enemies. Their damage may suffer against armor, however.
My apologies, I sounded quite ignorant there. "Fowling piece" was the term for the weapon before the term "shotgun" was first recorded, in 1776. Sorry, my bad.
As for crossbows as sniper weapons, you should really take a look at the suggestion thread for them. Surprisingly, people oppose guns but still want a sniper-bow. Figures.

Tell me what you all think.
Then why post here? You are obviously not contributing to the discussion at all.
Because a thousand options make the game extremely fun.

well, not really but i do
99.9% of the community disapproves, and Notch said NO. Let it die people.
