Swords and Shields in Destiny. Can it happen?

Many of you, as well as myself, desire so much to be able to use the Sword and Shield mechanics more in the game. How can this be done? Everyone is able to use the [b]Sword of Crota[/b] and the [b]Relic Shield[/b] during certain missions, and everyone knows how OP it would be to use such weapons in the Crucible. So the only way these weapons could be added into the game is through serious balancing. Neither of the two could be placed in the primary weapon slot. The secondary weapon slot already has its shotgun, and I'm pretty sure bungie doesn't want players running around in a FPS in third person with a sword 24/7. [b]So, is the Idea of having swords and shields shot down?[/b] The answer is No. These mechanics are already in game and they work well. Bungie will not have a lot of trouble applying this into the game. Players are for this, but wether this will be future content or not is entirely up to the direction Bungie wants to take. [b]Where do swords and shields fit into the players Inventory?[/b] We can all agree it's not in the primary or secondary slot, as that would defeat the purpose of the Bladedancer's Super Ability. However, If it were in the heavy weapon slot, a player could only use it when they had access to heavy weapon ammo. [b]A sword using ammo? Isn't that a bit silly?[/b] Yes, it is. I think we could all over look that though. Just don't ask why the sword works on ammo and be grateful if you can use it at all. If they made a fourth weapon slot for the Gaurdians, then maybe the weapon would not have to run on ammo and be able to run on some kind of an Energy/Cooldown source. [b]So every couple minutes any class can go Bladedancer?[/b] Like I said much earlier in this post, there will be some balancing tweaks. How far the sword lunges, the damage, the speed, all have to be take in consideration. With that said, Common all the way to Exotic Swords and Shields could be placed into the game. Who knows, maybe you can reclaim the Sword of Crota. [b]Will all swords look like the Sword of Crota? Will all the shields look like the Relic Shield?[/b] Luckily for us, Bungie has great developer tools that allow them to create armor, weapons, and ships easily with little hassle. Shields and swords can have very simple designs so creating these models shouldn't be a problem for Bungie. [b]----------THAT IS ALL----------[/b] [b]Where do you think swords and shields fit into the game? Do you think we'll ever get to use them in game modes like the crucible? Comment below, I'd love to hear your ideas. If I missed anything, please let me know.[/b] [i]-Pisa Hut[/i]
