Talk:Ancient Weapon

My Theory
I think... This may have been part of a sub quest of the 15 att quest. You know, players arrive at the statue but it is standing upright. The NPC tells them to find this powerful weapon to topple it. But the devs may have nerver gotten around to animating the fall or whatever so they through out the quest. Just a guess... Any thoughts? --FireFox

 * I believe FireFox's theory is a very probable one. I've often noticed that as one stands in the distance, the statue is upright, but as one approaches it of course topples.  I suspect that in fact you used to have to take the ancient weapon in order to knock it down before reaching the Forgotten NPC.  Perhaps if one takes the ancient weapon down before the statue falls, it makes a difference?  Would be interesting to test.

 * The effect of buildings looking upright from a distance, but crumbling down to ruins when approaching is well known for various buildings across the Crystal Desert. I think the devs were trying to use a Fata Morgana effect to give us a peek at Margonite / Elonian culture. --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L block]] 01:28, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
