Atm. servers are laggy shiat and it's raining most of the time so ath seems like it was nerfed in one of the last patches.

Post by: Angantyr on April 02, 2012, 10:49:08 pm: Please devs, take a look at the rain mechanic again, it could really need some adjustments.

First of all it rains far too frequently, why on Earth must it rain so much when there are some pretty severe gameplay repercussions? Secondly, it's not equal to everyone, depending on when you logged in and even your fighting style, which is real shitty in a competitive game. Thirdly, it slows down the already pretty slow pace we have in cRPG with what feels like a serious hit to ATH, making every other map a sluggish experience.

Who likes this and wants their 6ATH to feel like 3 or their xbow to be unable to shoot properly? I have personally not seen a single player who liked rain for anything but atmosphere.

The idea that weather has some gameplay effects is good in a strategy game, and could work (I guess) in an action game if it was that rare, tactics-changing occurence, and equal for everyone.

Well, it kind of does because those 3 athletic strength shitties don't notice a difference.

Didn't know it affects horses, I know what effects it has on ranged classes.

Post by: Teeth on April 05, 2012, 02:23:03 pm: Did athlethics really got nerfed or anything that affects movement speed? After a 5 athlethics 1h no shield I come back to my old 2h 6 athlethics build I used as a 2h and polearmer before and I when attacking and sidestepping I almost walk. Something must've changed. Armor weight's effect on movement speed maybe?
