Title: Low difficulty weapons op?
Post by: Vilde_II on November 24, 2011, 06:47:38 pm
I think they are. I'm tired of lvl 30 characters who use some damn wooden stick and hit 99 times per second.
I think there should be some limitations to what can be blocked with what, since it's so stupid that some superman disguised as a peasant can hit 2 times faster than I can and still block my every blow from a flamberge with a damn stick.

So... What you are saying is that people in peasant gear are beating you up with wooden sticks while you are using a spamberge?

What I mean is that does it make any sense that a wooden stick can block a high damage sword 99 times and damage people with heavy armor.

Well, isn't that the beauty of warband? That with enough skill you can (in melee at least) beat someone even if you are at a severe disadvantage in gear?

Do you really think you should automatically win just because you brought a bigger weapon and heavier armor?

If someone continuously beats you with a wooden stick it's either because they're damn good, or you're damn bad.

Oh, and if you think wooden sticks are OP:

Try one for yourself.

It's kind of sad that people that aren't still very good at blocking and such get killed by these guys with wooden sticks in 2 seconds and lose their money because they have to repair their armour that they need in order to survive... Armour that still is no use at all against some 30 lvl peasant. While the less good players lose their money to fix their armour because of this, the supermen have no worry since they don't even have anything that would get broken if they ever died.

You die to wooden stick peasant = Get a shield for blocking. Thats the legal version of autoblock.

Still loose? Get better. Srsly.

Yes, why wouldnt it?

You know that with enough skill, you can block witha big wooden Stick almost everything, too.You just need ALOT of skill.+

Normal sticks suck, but loomed oh my.. They have faster hit than the animation is and it is very hard to fight against if u don't get first swing.

Lower the speed from the animation buggy weapons, they r so common now.

Well, then I don't know about you, but to me this seems perfectly in order.

If someone is clearly better than you, then you SHOULD be the one losing.

And the way to remedy this should not be to grab the biggest weapons and armor (lolflamberge + 36 str), but to improve your own skill.

Also, protip: Don't use the heaviest armor and biggest weapons. You're never going to get good. Use competetive weapons and builds ofc, but don't take it to the extreme.

We have samurai's using flamberges. Since when did you think cRPG is the most realistic of mods?

Also, while a stick blocking that might not make sense, it's good for a Skill based game as even lowliest of peasants can beat a bad plate spammer. That's what M&B's combat system has always been about.

No offense mate, but the solution is actually the one the others are putting forward (albeit in a condescending way). The way that the combat system depends on the player is what sets Mount and Blade apart from other games. This game does require an investment of time in practice, it's different for many. Some like Dezi got the hang of things quickly and very well, while others like me are still failing hard every day. I know you believe the system is unbalanced, but trust me when I say it is pretty well done. There are lots of knacks and quirks to melee combat to learn and people come up with their own fighting styles etc etc. If the combat was based upon the tier of the gear, we'd have more situations like crushthrough and polestun etc etc and the balance would be even worse.

We plan to get rid of all the combat crap and just compare the equipment values of players to decide a fight. The one with the cheaper gears gets autokilled. 2 day ban if he was using a wooden stick.

I cant decide wether you are one of the biggest Noobs, Trolls or Retard Ive ever seen.


If we talk about equal skill, a peasant with a Wooden stick will always die to one with better Gear.

But since you wont always met People with the same skill as you, its just natural that they kill you no matter what they got.

Realism isn´t an argument counting in such a discussion aswell(But if you like, i can do that, too: Please stick a 16 year old with no experience in Fighting at all against a 35 Year old hardened Combat veteran, the 16 year old gets a Twohanded sword and the Veteran gets a Knife, dont you think the Veteran will win?).

People with high skill will always own you, no matter the gear.

So it´s just l2p from me, then you won´t get killed by Peasants much anymore.

Yes, if the plate crutcher really lacks that much skill, they deserve to be bludgeoned about the head until they get knocked out. Put on a plate helmet, any plate helmet you want. Then let me hit you in the head several times with a nice oak stick. My money is on you being unconscious within 5 blows.

Give those stick-using guys a flamberge instead. Now what happens to that guy who got killed by a stick? He dies instantly.

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong. :| Flamberge is really slow and it's easy to beat a guy who's using it. With a faster weapon.

But now to the point of this post: Nobody wants that you will win or lose automatically based on the price of your gear. You developer, Paul, nobody wants that (what he posted here) but that was a good joke. Come on. Let me explain this problem once again.. Can you, or CAN YOU NOT, block a sword with a wooden stick? The stick will break, at least after some blows. If you don't like this thing called realism, then okay but please don't be a douchebag and post comments implying the suggestors are 'retarded'. That just isn't funny. It doesn't make you look cool. At all. Trust me.

Actually you can defend against a sword with a wooden stick in real life if it is about as thick as the one used ingame. It is pretty hard to cut through if it is only held at one side. Even more if the guy with the stick knows what he is doing.

I was about to say that but then thought Edreamy old friend and Vilde wouldnt get it.

If you are a Master in Combat, you could even defend against a Greatsword with a wooden stick(Given that the one with the greatsword is not that kind of master).Footwork and technique will always matter more than equipment.

Well, I suppose you have a point. Sometimes you could. But if you had a heavy two handed sword (that's not dull), I think the stick would not last many blows. If you have tried one of those IRL (I mean the sword :)), you know that it takes a lot of muscle-power to even swing them properly. That said, the blows are quite devastating. Enough to eventually break a stick we see ingame.

Oh and one more thing. @B3RS3RK: You really don't get it, do you? :lol:

I dont think Iam even nearly able to get what you want to tell us, simply because my brain has an off switch when its about to get damaged by bullshit.


This game is SKILL based.Meaning this, one Peasant with a wooden stick could theoretically defeat a neverending number of Enemies with all the gear they want if he is good enough.

So yes, it IS balanced, because Skill matters more than gear.If you could crushthrough blocks of certain cheap weapons with more expensive ones, the balance would be broken and it would be all about "I haz more Gold and bigger Weapon than you"

Title: Re: Low difficulty weapons op?
Post by: Edreathir on November 25, 2011, 12:51:05 pm
Look, it doesn't mean that everyone has to have the most expensive weapons in order to survive. You made that up yourself. Nobody want's to take the skill out of the game. That's why I'm facepalming so much right now. You should read more carefully, no offence.

Realistic? Probably not. Well balanced? Of course. The game would be utterly broken if simply having a bigger/better weapon meant victory.

No, you couldn't be more wrong. If someone gets owned (repeatedly, apparently) by a fucking stick used by a peasant-armored guy, they're not going to block flamberge. Faster weapons have nothing to do with it, flamberge is still more than fast enough to force the block-attack-block-attack rhytm.

Since when was this thread about stick's ability to block swords? That's not what the OP was talking about.

I'm pretty sure this was Vilde's point: "I think there should be some limitations to what can be blocked with what". And I don't want that you have to buy expensive weapons to be able to block, but come on. A wooden stick vs. a greatsword.

It's also good to see that even the developers come and troll in my thread which was supposed to be for nice conversation about the subject, not about my bad skills or how retarded I am.

a) People are Assholes

b) Don´t make Noobish Suggestions


And even if its totally unrealistic that a Practice sword can block a Flamberge, so what?Gameplay over Realism.

Oh and not to mention that even if we talk realism, Practice swords were often filled with Lead, making them heavier and better to parry with.If you are good you could still block a Flamberge like that.
