Faster Game Speed

[Gorath]

It takes an average of only a few seconds for me to kill my opponent in melee on the battlefield, or be killed... I don't see this as needing to be faster. Rare are any fights that last longer then ten seconds.

About 25% of my playing time is on EU_1 or EU_2 or EU_4 due to running with friends over there or with the Fallen. I suppose I am missing all of the good long fights then. *shrugs* Maybe it is due to the hours I play as I can only play evenings/late-night/early-mornings times for the EU timezones due to where I live.

Since you play there all the time and presumably during normal hours, I will take your word on this.

If we want this mod to grow, I suggest we keep the speed on medium. This game already has a steep learning curve as it is. New players have more of a chance of rage quitting permanently, if we speed up the game.  I think it is best to keep the speed where it is for the longevity and  "lastabilty"  of the mod. For those who think fights last to long, learn some more complex feinting.

...hmm, I've changed my mind slightly, while I'm still not into raising gamespeed, wpf could use some tweaking I agree.

Athletics buff aswell?

Or just a plain, across-the-board weapon-speed buff? (tho I would prefer wpf boost, agi needs something)

Any increase to melee speed will be in favor for those who have better pings. A lot of good melee players also have a good ping (under 50).

whats the difference between speeding up the game and increasing weapon speed? either way both will depend on ping.

Game is fast already. Give an old man a break, my reflexes are not what they used to be.

Well, this was my point really, there is no difference. Any speed change will result in battles being more ping dependant.

I think if anything gets sped up, it should be the bonus speed from athletics.  AGI needs SOMETHING decent to balance against the STR stat.  High AGI/ATH characters really should have faster footwork as their defense rather than the HP you get as a str build.

yes. athletics should be buffed and heavier armors should then weight more to balance the changes. buffing athletics without making plate heavier, will only make plate/transitionals 18/21 builds too much fast running.

EDIT:

and by the way, im a balanced 21/18 so i'm speaking against me.

People with 80+ ping should perhaps consider if they're playing the right game. A twitch-based game where 'skill' equals your reacation time.

i played the old crpg with 130-150 ping for months and killed many many ppl....Was hard but its not that bad

Very wrong, speeding the game will speed up everything, so worse hit detection, more spamming etc etc and will make ppl with high pings dont have a chance. WPF actually helps to high pingers, since in the end,  more wpf feels exactly like lower ping (when attacking, that is)... That is why i actually played the old crpg with high agi to compensate my ping, and while i needed  2 or 3 hits more it was worth and could kill anyone having 130 ping.....

I get enough outspammed because of my shitty connection already. I, for one, don't want it to be faster.
