Should marauders be able to bite?

[Rofllove]

Yeah I asked it, should marauders only attack with there arms/claw mutations or should they be able to bite, kick and headbutt. Personally, i think a marauders entire body should be an attacking monster feeding and feeding till it dies.

[Nonym]

I think marauder mutations should represent the crazy, random aspect of chaos. Just because everyone else uses their hands and arms, doesn't mean you can't use your legs, or head, or grow a brand new body part.
I say grow a new mouth on your stomach, and drag people in with tentacles.

Crab claws are okay, I suppose, but I'd like to see crazy mutations as well. If mutations are limited to the arms, it really wouldn't live up to the possibilities of the marauder concept.

i think it'd be pretty cool if they could mutate to be able to do something like this

You tease, How dare you post a link I can't accesses with no elaboration to what is in it. Please post the image with a different host.

Who's to say that it's only their arms that mutate, I can easily see them getting some distended jaws or something and biting with those.

[versuvius]

such as an over extended nose with a mouth on the end

[Fusko]

There should be a 'Both' option. I went with regular Bite because I've never seen it done in an mmo, unless it was a pet.

It theory it would certainly be a cool attack but the animation might look stupid. :P

To be honest it depends on the marauders posture and stance. It could go either way, its really up to the animators.

Well, there's lots of warhammer art with leech like mouths with an extremely long tongue in the center so it could be like a tongue that grabs players into the mouth or something.

it's basically a badass drawing of venom all snarling and stuff in this guys face, about to bite a chunk out of him.

I think marauders should attack with every little bit of everything they have, teeth included. Maybe you could get a cool mutation that, among other things, completely warps your face, so you have a snout and big sharp teeth(alot easier to bite people that way)

Marauders hands mutate..not their head. Either way it would be wierd and I wouldnt want to party up with someone that runs up to a guy, and eats him.

If that's the case, then you sir, do not belong with Chaos!

And as far as I'm aware, mutations can happen to any limb, body part, hell even the entire body, maybe not so in the game but that's the concept.

[Gemini]

Yeah... who says mutations only happen to their arms? That dosn't seem very... Tzeetchy. Crazy crazy stuff happens to these guys! But only to their arms. Everything else is normal, always.

I would really like to see mutation skills effect more than one part of your body, some of them diffrent parts at once. Like the crab-claw could also harden your skin giving ya extra toughness, or some sort of crazy chaosy claws to go with the face mutation allowing for biting.

[versuvius]

i want to see tier 4 marauders go all chaos spawny...just sort of explode into random mustations

[mad_caddie]

well i was watching some good old paul today on the subject of marauders, and he says something along the lines of "Marauders mutate blah blah blah with their arms usually."

maybe he was talking about lore, but it's something to take into account.

[Krulltak]

Their toothed arms should be able to bite.

But hey if they are gong to be biting with their puny human teeth then let the orcs use their tusks!

[Gemini]

Thats why I suggesteda mutation on the head for biting skills :P

[Totenkopf]

If Maruaders could mutate their head into something BA looking and eat people like to get health back or something, I think we would have a problem with player base, 10 Marauders to every 1 other class because running up to someone and eating them is way cool :evil:

[versuvius]

id love to see some big head munching mutations. regardless id only play the marauder as an alt. Engineer is getting to tier 4 first!

[mockingbyrd7]

Rofl, can you imagine? Marauder is charging at some hapless dwarf and the dwarf is like, "Wait, what are ye--!"
MUNCH!
"AAAAAAAAGHHH! The bloody ! 'E bit me! 'E chomped right into me arm!"

The animation would look awfully stupid. Especially on targets like dwarves, they'd literally have to get down on their knees to bite off their face.

[Spleen]

Marauders should use all weapons available, including teeth.

As for animation, they could try something like this:

HOLY CRAP! Okay, I get it.

I agree =P

I d love to see some sorta attack where your head starts warping and you head butt someone while a huge mouth with teeth and tentacles opens on your forhead and extends and bites a large chunch outta that dorf or human =p

[LookinGreen]

Nobody like a biter :eek:

[Grimfell Gromgear]

I dunno... Marauders often get those awesome really cool full helms.

How's about a compromise. Yes they can bite, but only with extra mouths that grow on their hands/shoulders/chest/stomach/knees/back etc?

[Pieter Klass]

in the fluff chaos armour mutates with it wearer(cohost)

[Okri]

Marauders don't wear Chaos armour, they hardly wear any armour at all.

On-topic; Hells yeah, of course they should be able to bite, just like the rabid lunatics they are. There might be a problem with helmets and such, since some of them helmets have nothing but eye-holes.

[Baron Khaine]

Perhaps an Aliens style mutation where the tongue becomes long and has a set of teeth or fangs on the end? They could perhaps be poisonous or maybe able to clamp on and drain the blood or lifeforce of an enemy?
