Kwaliti:

Rotate it so the crossguard faces upwards.

Work on the wrapping of the blade. While the weapon isn't that special I'm willing to approve it given a better wrap.

MiniMage: Alright, the blade looks a little better. Approving.

Old Wrap:

Isn't that the blade in the dark portal doodad?

 

[Vinz]

I haven't seen it for a long time. This is from scratch.

I used the same texture for it though.

 

[chobibo]

Cl!

 

[Vinz]

Thanks.

After a search here is an image of the original sword: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/797625-post3.html

 

[MiniMage]

It looks rather similar to this blade though. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/necro-sword-92934/?prev=search=Sword&d=list&r=20&t=7

As far as redundancies is concerned, I tend to reject if it isn't a massive improvement.
I'll leave it be for now though, see what the other mods think.

 

[WhiteFang]

But this one looks hella better though.

 

[Misha]

I'm unsure about the wrap on the blade and handle..

Shit talk. Because their colors are quite similar doesn't mean they are alike. I can't even notice any single similarity between them except color. Sorry for my harsh word but I can't let anybody hate an original & cool work like this. Seriously, there is something goes wrong in this site: people always tend to give higher rating to crappy resources more than how it should (over rating). But at the other hand, people also tried to give lower rating to professional works less than how it should (down rating). It is really disgusting that's why some people suggested to just delete these invalid rating systems.

Please, don't be a hater, that just makes you look stupid.

Originality: It is similar to that Necro Sword, but this is not an edited model so I guess is not wrong for it to get a 6/10(Good) from me.
Quality: The whole sword is red, I suggest changing the color of the handle to black I personaly think it would look better). Also the part with the snake on it wouldn't be noticed in game, but I don't know what you could do about it.5/10 (Acceptable)
Usfulness: Well, it is quite useful as a dark sword, but it is similar to the necro sword. 6/10
2.9/5(3/5). Anyway, keep improving!

..why do you guys get so upset over other people's opinions when there's as much opinions as there are people <_<

anyway, shush and don't start anything and here's my opinion. The whole sword should be like a serpent, the handguard, the handle and the 'apple', the blade should be either slightly wavy or serpent-ish in some way.. feel free to browse more serpent-like skins like the naga texture on the altar of the depths or the one on other naga building, i can't remember which.. maybe something will fit with that serpent on the swordguard

so yeah.. make it more unique and you'll avoid the issues with opinions

 

[Vinz]

Is it okay if I keep the blade straight, then put a serpent wrapped around the handle?

 

[Misha]

fine with me, but the blade should be serpent-themed in some way too.

as for wrapping the serpent around the handle, try to not make the handle too thick

 

[-Grendel]

Where the fuck did my comment go?

 

[MiniMage]

Removed all problematic replies and any posts connected to them. Yours as well as mine was apart of it.

 

[Vinz]

Updated.

 

[Splub]

Awesome!

 

[sonofjay]

Ghad, this looks beastly.

 

[WhiteFang]

Damn I like what you added. It looks badass.

 

[Vinz]

Thanks guys.

 

[MiniMage]

Hm, it's a step in the right direction.

 

[Misha]

mhm.. kinda both changed and not changed model.. i like the ethereal ribbons, but they're not really snakes.. the sword still barely has a serpent feel

i did suggest wrapping the handle and blade to serpent-like texture that is in either temple of tides, or the naga tex that goes with the altar of the depths.. :/

 

[Vinz]

Oh, right, I forgot. ;_;

 

[DUTY OF RS]

1. Looks Awesome!
2. I almost tought it were arthas sword in some seconds, with different modifcations ofcourse.
3. Hope to see more!

 

[PlankingWolf]

This looks pretty sick.

 

[meatfactory]

nice job. good looking and very creative

 

[vincilios]

Excellent work!

 

[Vinz]

Rotated properly. I still haven't worked further on the model though... too lazy. :[

 

[Sclammerz]

I never knew you have this Awesome sword. good job as always!

 

[Maximum_Evil]

damn looks really cool!

 

[Idaero Ace]

Top 20 and still pending, awesome

Not to depress you guys or anything. But, among the 6340 of the approved models, this model is not even close to the top 20. This model is still pending because I consider that it still needs work. Actually, it's probably better to set it to needs fix. Even then, I doubt it will go over the ranking of useful. So I'm not really sure where you're pulling the top 20 from. It's actually not even close. It's far from it in fact, by a couple thousand. What you guys confuse as top 20 is the latest updated models. Which doesn't say much about its quality at all. Just saying.

To be quite honest, the search engine on this site is pretty messed up at the moment. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the promised land of Hive 2.0.
Anyhow, I'll set it to needs fix. Because pending is a rather confusing verdict. It's kinda like "I'm too tired to deal with this shit right now."

So yeah, setting it to needs fix. It's a more fair accurate judgement considering it's at the WIP stage, thus needs work.

 

[Vinz]

I know. I might go back to it at some point. If I ever do.

 

[Vinz]

Updated; old wrap in first post. Tiny tweak.

 

[Sunchips]

In the zoomed out in-game cam it looks very good. However looking closely the wrap is a bit blurry although that will only be noticable in zoomed in cinematics or special maps. From me it's a 4/5

 

[The Panda]

Looks deadly! nice job man.

 

[Vinz]

Thank you guys!

 

[InfernalTater]

This is pretty awesome! 4/5.

 

[Vinz]

Thanks!
