This is too much of a nerf for me, I'd rather see the long spear get less speed, so it retains the anti cav value, but gets nerfed versus infantry.
There is a small aesthetic niggle with getting stabbed by the pole rather than the point.
This to me looks more odd then being stabbed by a blunt pole.
you guys prob havent dueled craftybadger with an long spear or me on my old char pikemanD.
uhm i dueled him yesterday for a good hour. he's really good with that but still (as it should be) too slow with the long spear to duel properly.
long spears are fine as they are because they shine among the brawl but aren't effective in 1vs1.
I remember back in the day you could not block with pikes... 245 reach is like a great lance. You cant block with those either. For the sake of balance... LET CAV USE PIKES!
I am mere concerned with other aesthetic niggles such as this remarkable greeting I received from Air, one of our resident throwers.
no longer a thrower,
i can feel the comunity's massive sigh of relief.
anywho my computer crapped out, hardrive's shot.
won't be on for a month or two so have fun everyone!
also: please grant greatlances the ability to block and stab or couch on foot whichever is fine

overhead stab would probably be pretty glitchyever played FaS or any m&b mod with overhead stabs? They aren't.
ever played FaS or any m&b mod with overhead stabs? They aren't.like in vikingr, really awsome, i'd prefer if spear-type waepons like lances, spears and stuff. get an overhead thrust instead of the goofy overhead attack we have now.

I imagine one day we could continue to nerf things until.

I personally hate being stabbed by a person 2 ft away when they are wielding a 12 ft pole, that being said, their overhead attacks will come down on me while they have a teammate between the attacker and me.
It has to be one or the other, cant be both.
If i can get hit from 2 feet away while the end of the spear is 4 feet behind me, then the teammate should be hit FIRST in the overhand attack and it wouldn't reach me.
If It doesn't hit the teammate but the end comes down over the teammate and hits me then I shouldn't be able to be hit by the pike 4 ft away from the player.
Basically either the whole model needs a hit box on it, or just the pointy part, not both. As it stands currently its teammate biased and glitchy.
Id prefer that it would still be able to block, but not stab anyone inside its range.
the hitboxes are fine. the facts is people master the stab use by turning and releasing before aiming. i say hitboxes are fine because if you stab while standing still at short range, you glance.
And that is really the problem, with all attacks too.
Sword stabs can last a lot longer than is reasonable (But that could be explained as he is running forward with his sword forward ale Aragorn).
Sometimes you release your block after you've already blocked and the sword remains and stabs you.
Overhead attacks can miss your body, but if they turn into you at any point during the "attack" like after it hits the ground it just slides into the side of your ankle through the dirt and hits you for the same amount of damage.
But with long polearms its the worst. Most of the time when they do it with long spears and pikes the spear is waving it and out of the ground unrealistically. And yes they attack and spin into you, but still its a "stab" and the only part that can stab is way behind me. No matter what direction I'm aiming, if I have a 12ft spear and your 4 or less feet from me it is physically impossible for me to poke you with it.
The only explanation that could be viable, and its flimsy, is that they are holding it close to the point so its only a 4 ft spear and the rest is behind them, but that should require a different animation and an 'x' to change your grip on it.
Thats my QQ for the day.
