Ok so I feel kind of bad for this but I looked through some of the game files and found a texture for “lance” and “quiver”
Does anyone have any insight into when these may be implemented in the game?
I’m really excited for new combat features.

I saw an old post (2-3 years old) that showed art for a spear. It seemed like they were getting ready to add it at the time. I guess they never did. It seems Alpha also had water blocks of some sort…I’d love to have a water source block.

Nope, no insight. The lance has been in development for a long time, but my understanding is that it was not impliment ed sooner because melee combat was struggling to feel weighty and it was hard to make it feel like your strikes were connecting with a target due to the server dictating where the target was, and the sometimes delayed response and inaccurate prediction on the client side.
That being said, combat has become much smoother with recent optimization… lance could be coming sooner than previously anticipated!

Yes, the water source block would be a great addition for builders. It is possible to manipulate water source blocks to get water where you want but placeable water would be so much more convenient.

Do you know if the quiver is used with the lance or if that is something completely different?
Quiver is an asset I have never before seen, or at least don’t remember.
The quiver was an old asset (not implemented) back when we had to make our own arrows for the slingbow

Thank you for not making us craft arrows for the slingbow nowadays!!!

The devs used to give off the water blocks to trustworthy people or in contests.

I remember having to craft arrows, but I don’t remember the quiver. Huh
Maybe @Stretchious means it was an intended feature when crafting arrows was a thing. Just not implemented
Edit: oh yeah…
Yeah the quiver never made it in game at all, as the arrows were removed. It had a nice asset created for it though!

I like that though. I wish they had kept ammo instead of augments. Make basic shots free, but “special” shots crafted and carried in a quiver. Maybe in a future combat update, ah well.
