Nice video and nice showings.
I guess I'll have to apologize for my post in the other thread. I just couldn't believe that the polearm stab was the shortest attack IN THE WHOLE GAME (!) and thought you must have done something terribly wrong in your test. I stand corrected and hope you will accept my apology.
The only thing I have to say about this test is that it also should be done on an enemy or at least one who can take damage from the attack. Maybe there is something different there. I doubt it, but it should still be tested. As a part of my apology I would like to help you out with this. If you ever want to test this with someone else, just ask me and I'll help you. Is it possible for you to host a multiplayer session with these custom weapons in? We could then check them out.
Thank you for your testing. This really helps out with understanding this game.
On a side note:
This really makes us have to think about giving polearms a small boost with their stab, mainly with the reach. The stabs are the main attack of spears, pikes and forks and should also be the longest attack of them. Maybe give them a secondary stab or something or the option to do the 1h-polearm stab even when you DON'T have a shield. Because no matter what. Stabs should be the longest attack of ALL weapon types. Having polearms not only having the shortest attack animation, but their stab also the shortest of them ALL is just unbalanced and needs to be changed.
PS: I think we finally found Waltf4's long lost brother ;)
