once upon a time you couldn't block with a too long weapon, like pike or long spear or whatever.. couldn't you put this back :/ ?
Wait... what? They already reduced speed, reduced damage, 3 slots, not sheathable, unbalanced, price high and you guys are still not satisfied.. seriously.. Why don't you suggest taking it out of the game so cav gets even more powerful..
well it's quite annoying being ganked from 3 bamboo spears
I find it annoying getting ganked by three of anything.

I think the problem is with jump spin stabs with such long weapons.
Maybe limit how much you can actually turn, or how fast you can turn based on your weapons length.
well it's quite annoying being ganked from 3 bamboo spears, with overheads or thrusts, every time.. this stuff should be useful only for cav, not for duels :S and bamboo doesn't occupy 3 slots (and imo 3 slots are stupid, it's a support weapon against cav, not a stand alone weapon :S).. it's strange when you block a knife with a 3mt weapon :|
I got to watch a pike demonstration earlier illustrating the problem with these guys.
Player with Pike, positioned right behind his teammate. He thrusts down and left, swings the pole through his teammates body, then releases through the teammate and kills the enemy.
Glitching in order to be viable as a weapon choice really isn't a good gaming choice.

yep maybe for pikes, but bamboos and long awplikes are quite OP maybe :/ as i said imo they're SUPPORTING weapons
Yeah, bamboo spears are so OP that almost no one ever uses them *facepalm* learn2block
And I find it strange that ONE PERSON can block an infinite number of pikemen as long as they face them and down block. Have you ever tried dueling with these weapons? I'd rather have a danish or LHB any day if I'm dueling someone who isn't a complete noob.
Wait, so you want to nerf the crap out of this weapon, yet dislike that one person can block... countless... wait...
I'm confuzzled :(
He messed up a quote. That was something I said but he accidentally deleted the top line. :lol:
well don't know where you play, but even people without wpf uses bamboo spears (:
First: This is Game Balance board, not Realism board.
Second: Have you ever wondered how the hell do you block with a 40cm hammer or a 48cm handaxe or a...? You would get you hands cut of or smashed into pieces if you try to block with these toys.
Edit: nevermind, misunderstood the post before me :rolleyes:
I think pikemen shouldn't be able to block so easily/fast, since long spears and pikes are very long weapons. It doesn't make sense that a pikeman can switch from a block direction to another as fast as a 1h or 2h.
it was very easy to block your way out of a spammer, until you managed to kill him or run away.
Leave pikes and long spears of all sorts, alone. They enforce natural teamplay so counter it with same elements. Never go alone against 2 players out of which one is piker, and you will be fine.
