What about the fact that you might have platers on your own side, that would boost your meter right?
It would be the ultimate weapon to sneak through the cracks with good control. An ignore-armour dagger would be great..
People don't get that crpg have to be viewed as an ABSTRACTION of real combat.
Why i.ex isn't the dagger super-efficient against plate? It would be the ultimate weapon to sneak through the cracks with good control. An ignore-armour dagger would be great..
In RL people could fight on the ground and wrestle, totally omitted.
False, the short reach of the dagger would make it useless agaisnt about anything, like how it is in game, and you actually would need to aim your hits with the dagger, just like with any one handers to damage someone in plate.
I think the point is to use the dagger AFTER you've wrestled your opponent to the ground. I support this.
Also after we add the wrestling mechanics we need a wrestle-only server where we wrestle greco-roman style. Naked and oily.
make all 1 hander except the warhammer and steel pick do no damage on plate, while those 2 weapons would do minimal damage.Why minimal damage? Such a warhammer hit to the face/helmet was actually devastating, same with the pick. Also a well placed thrust with a sword would do a lot damage to plate, too.
The head bit would work with blunt and pierce (Stab included) however, stabbing at plate using the 2 hand grip or with a 1 hand weapon would result in very little effect, solution? MOAR pierce damage for halfswording.Yeah, but halfswording is a whole other story. Watching two tin cans in crpg doing real halfswording would be awesome though. :D

No, it would do minimal damage to the plate... but the guy inside would be in trouble :PWell, both are pretty fucked. :D
And the opponent isn't a damned trainin' dummy.
He would try to dodge or parry that incoming hammer, everyone knows that charging like that would just kill you in the end. :)

If I ever need a shovel.. Minecrafters would love such a thing. :mrgreen:
Fapping with it? I have doubts.
It's okay for children to see how people get impaled and hacked down, but GOD FORBID THEY SEE NAKED PEOPLE! THE HORROR!
Armour needs to work better, they nerfed it.

Pierce weapons deal massive dmg on plate since the soak has been nerfd even 3 peasants with their small daggers can beat the shit out of u because every hit goes right through ur armor.
The 1 who had the idea to nerf the armor soak also said that the pierce and blunt weapons will get an advantage after it and that these weapons also had to be nerfd but these Weapons dont got nerfd !! WHY NOT?!! Plz nerf pierce and blunt weapons to make armor worth again!!
I really think that they should also add in a "sanity" system. In real life if someone who was a peasant saw a man in full black armor he'd probably flee in absolute horror. Anyone who isn't in at least 15 pounds of armor should have a rapidly rising meter the closer they are to a plate wearer, and when this gauge is full it should cause them to randomly drop an item and flee in terror.
A man wearing so much armour he can bearly move will be over whelmed and killed by a small group of faster padded nobbers.

Also, 1 shotting people in clothes and naked no matter the weapon or the build is a must.
In real life 1h weapons are effective against plate. You just have to aim for the joints or thrust. So swords in addition to hammers and picks should be able to damage plate, though not as much. That is exactly how it is in game now!
Most people don't like realism arguments (I'm not one of them), so in that case it is important for balance issues as well. Plate would be too powerful if only blunt/pierce could damage them at all.
If I was a peasant, I wouldn't flee from a fully plated guy. Just doge/parry the first attack and tackle him. Then gouge his eyes and armor joints with your pointy stick or dagger. :)

My +1 long dagger is super effective. It's pretty surprising how many people think it is a puny weapon and run onto the end of it to get 1 shotted. :lol:The Espada Eslavona is even better. It still looks like a butter knife, but the stab is brutal and you can kill most enemys without helmet with just one stab to the face. And 25 cut are still enough to hurt the enemy with swings to the head.
