The recent payload gamemode has made me realize how much this game needs a melee combat system added (in the main game). The main reason is that there hasn't been any new pvp systems (in the main game) added to the game. So far, only pvp with spells and wands have been the main combat system. Swords will add a fresh experience for all players, since they can be used for pvp or fighting mobs. This could prompt many players to join the dueling community, or at least try it out. I have heard concerns from players regarding melee weapons potentially being too overpowered against spells, but from my experience with the May the 4th payload minigame, using melee weapons do not pose a huge threat against ranged fighters. Swords will add a nice variation to duels and PVE, and since there has been canon cases of swords being used in the Harry potter franchise, It would be nice to see this implemented into the game.
