Weapon Contest Winners!

European Winner "Emperors Speech":

Spoiler:

American Winner will follow in the next few weeks

To think that some badass looking European submissions didn't make the cut because of a pig on a throne.. don't disappoint me murica

.. You know I posted this at the top of the forum just before you made the thread Tom.. :p (right after you gave me the link)

Good place to talk about it though... And wonder why mine didn't win!!!! The NA weapon better be good!!! Or so help me I will cry!

Pain: I think that the whole point was for the comic value as well as the fact that they have had cat and shaka weapons but no Poogie weapons.. but yeah, it really makes me wonder what weapons they got from NA and Japan..

Looking at it I also believe that the fact the weapon is directly MH related has a lot to do with it as well. We will see once they show the NA winner though. If it's MH related as well or not.

I actually like it. I think its a pretty cool weapon that will hopefully make the great Poogie god look down on you with grace :P

a lot of people are complaining that it isn't "badass"
though i have to say that a weapon that sounds like slaughtering a pig with every hit is pretty badass in it's own way.

i quite lke it actually. there's a lot of event weapons/armors that are somewhat comical. especially when looking at 4 one piece weapons, mario/luigi costumes,... so it's not really surprising that they picked a comical weapon (and honestly Poogies did deserfe their own weapon by now)

its perfect give it to me now plz

True, it's definitely a MH themed weapon... That could've played a part in its victory, too.

One of my brothers said that this would be the only weapon he's going to use when the game comes out after I showed it to him yesterday... I think he was thinking pretty much the same thing about it x3

I like it. I'd want to get it just because it looks/sounds hilarious. Even if I don't use HH that much, I'll have to make it.

That said, I hope the NA one that gets chosen is a cool one. Having one funny one is enough for me. I'd like to balance it out by getting a really awesome looking sword (Like the Tenebra) or else a cool bowgun/bow.

The oinks sound like suffering ; _;

The main disappointment is that it'sa HH and not my beloved GS... but oh well. Outside of that It's a great design! Looks hell of a fun to use

though i usually don't use hunting horns, i like the fact that it is one. there haven't been too many event HH around up to now. and it might get more people to use HH or at least try them out, which imo would be a good thing, as HH is a great weapon and always a good addition for a hunting party

there have been so many event GS up to now, so it's time other weapons got their turn (GS is one of my main weapons) though i'm sure there's gonna be an event GS or two in the game just not this event

It's usability depends on songs tbh. If they're useless/joke like buffs for Felynes, it's just meh. I like the idea of event weapon which can be usefull. Good example is Bushido DS or Lightning Blaze GL from 3U. I can't remember when we got event GS, which was actually usable (access to Purple). Capcom loves teasing with us, giving completely usless weapons in events, I wonder why they do that?

Where are all the event bowguns ?????????

because they don't want them to be overused for one

and it wouldn't be fair to people that don't have internet (i know this will be a minimal number) and can't download the quests. i don't necesserily agree with the idea, and acording to this logic most of Tri would be unfair.
also it would be easier to get OP weapons "early on" (end game gear in early G-Rank f.e.), though ofc level restrictions or material costs could easily take care of that.

and to be fair most Event weapons have at least average G-Rank stats.

but yeah some nice endgame leveled event weapons would be great

I think if they use a little imagination they can come up with a decent ideas. But somehow in most cases they don't... maybe it's some sort of a joke? Those weapons should encourage new type of gameplay, they don't have to replace most OP weapons in their classes.

My fav event weapon and perfect example here is Lightning Blaze Gunlance. You can't even reach purple with it, but the fact that it's one of very few Wide GL which can reach Lv5 shell power makes it worth using. There's a HUGE difference between Lv4 and Lv5. When you use your head a little you can built set with Artillery Expert, Guard+1, Mind's Eye (lack of purple doesn't matter anymore), Load up and skill of choice (I use Speed Sharpening to maintain white all the time). If you focus on shell dmg, you can deal some serious dmg so if you ask me, it's definately endgame weapon. On top of it all, it's distributed through really hard event quest. It's worth doing it.

Same can be said about Bushido.

But on the other hand we have useless crap like Anima Reaper. Only access to white (on GS...), crazy high element and pathetic 1104 raw. It's like they don't understand GS mechanics at all. If only they gave it 1300 raw + purple, it would be perfectly usable weapon, which won't create one ultimate GS because there're better raw GS like Nero's Anguish or Cera.

anima reaper encourages you to use element GSs, which even though might not be as effective as raw GS but do still a great deal of dmg. so arguing about encouraging alternative playstiles this might be a bad example ;)

Yeah same can be said about playing with Rust weapons without upgrades. It's a fun challenge and different playstyle!

Jokes aside, element on GS is a nice bonus this gen, but you can't really do anything without access to purple. And even than you have to cross certain value of raw to at least compete with raw based GS. That's why The Depotheosis despite huge element and purple can't do job done... Anima Reaper is basically The Depotheosis minus purple. Oh yeah I forgot to add, it's main advantage requires Awakening. It's useless piece of steel. Only for collecting reasons. I used it few times for testing and results were... sad.

Anima Reaper is such a garbage GS

It would be better if it had some purple sharpness.
