soularin Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't mean to be a bother, but what kind of projectile weaponry exists on Mata Nui besides those specified in the native tech list? I know crossbows are a thing, but I'm talking guns. I see a lot of sweet foreign tech guns, but I can't recall seeing any that are a bit more primitive. I would assume that there are enough resources and technology on the island to make flintlocks and the like. Anyone care to be a dear and enlighten me?

Krayzikk Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Firearms are foreign tech only. Pateros, basically souped up air-rifles, are native tech available for any PC.

Nato G Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I asked that very same question about a year ago, this was the response I got: Moving on from the case closed topic, I've noticed stralix powder shares several properties of conventional black powder. So, in theory, since we apparently already have howitzer sized cannons somewhere, would it not be theoretically possible to create primitive flintlock-style pistols and muskets, using stralix powder? Nuju has been pretty iffy about firearms for the last couple of arcs despite us having madu cabolo the entire time. While he certainly has loosened up recently I'm still not sure if he would ok something like that. Recently, House brought up firearms with me via PM. I'll tell y'all what I told him: Mata Nui isn't gonna get firearms. I'm not a fan of guns in this game in general (I mean, really, there are so many cooler and more creative weapons you foreign characters could've gotten approved!) because, to me, they don't feel like they belong in a BIONICLE world. This is less to do with the actual technological level - our denizens have little computers, after all; controlled combustion isn't inconceivable by any means in that light - and more to do with the tone of the world and with combat. Introducing gunpowder weapons in a mainstream way to the island of Mata Nui would change the dynamics of PC combat on the island, and I think it'd change them for the worse. He-shot-she-shot would get boring really quickly; unrealistically dodging bullets would become an epidemic problem; there's only so much creativity you can exercise with a weapon that goes boom. "But Nuju, there are other projectile weapons in the game that you're totally fine with!" Correct. Zamors, energy pulses, plasma bolts, and etc. feel like they belong here, and not everyone has them. Bullets, which we never saw in BIONICLE, don't feel like they belong. Besides, if the native populace of Toa, Turaga, and Matoran had access to guns, why would they ever use anything else? I keep guns out of the game as much as I can to preserve the variety of combat and to keep us grounded - even in spite of the island's technological advances - in a world that feels like an extension of the MNOLG (at least, that's the dream).

soularin Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 AH, gotcha. Thanks guys. I thought it was weird that I hadn't seen anything on this, but I guess it makes sense now that I read what Nuju had to say about it. [BZPRPG Profiles] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowyAegis Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 A Vortixx character of mine I haven't played in a while has an arm-mounted triple-burst crossbow and a single-bladed greataxe that can turn into a single-shot cannon. That's technically a firearm, just not the usual kind. Most guns aren't also axes, nor are they actual cannons. My profiles Read my Epic:Tales of Aoris Nui!Profile pic by Soulemn on DA!

Krayzikk Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 two people and anyone who listened to the podcast you supposedly recorded it was indeed relevant to the ongoing discussion, the topic of which being questions pertaining to next arc. i know you've lost any sense of being gun-shy my friend but think Raz, the bottom line is that it ultimately is not up to you to determine what is and isn't spam. If the world worked that way, nothing would ever be found to be in violation of the rules. I told you not to spam, and you won't. Whether this specific instance is spam is irrelevant given that you have to be told not to spam anyway, and it doesn't mean the next time won't be. I'm done arguing this with you, and in the interests of not disrupting this topic any further, you will be too. I got a real question away from the discussion of spam(which is almost spam itself). Is there any Rahi that is NOT on Mata Nui at this point in game? I imagine a K. Dragon, but I'm not sure about any others... There are quite a few Rahi that are not on Mata Nui, in large part because it is unclear whether they ever made the migration from Metru Nui. In general, it's best to assume that any Rahi not canonically known to be on the island is something the staff should be asked about. 1 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?
