Title: Shield on back catches projectiles (READ BEFORE JUDGING)
Post by: Dalfador on June 04, 2012, 04:35:35 am
Ok before you say anything, i've come up with a compromise. How about the shield catches the arrow, but you still get stunned and take a little bit of blunt damage, just from the sheer speed of the projectile.

If a arrow hit a shield on the back it should have the same effect as when it hits the shield you are using.

Projectile catching from back shields would allow people to roleplay Pavise Crossbowmen.  :wink:

Ergo reloading with your back shown to the enemy, decent cover from missiles.

I was under the impression that it added body armor when on your back, then again i heard that from some random person in-game  :|
sounds like a good idea though

Shield on back decreases damage from missiles that hit it.

Ok, now for the stupid. The hit-shield-on-back mechanic IS active in Native AND cRPG. There is just no message sent to a client about this. But the server still acknowledges it and gives the (10+shield_resistance) bonus to the armour in the damage calc on a ranged backhit. TW devs were just too lazy to code the routine that sends the message to the hit client.

IRL shields on back were not as effective as holding it away from the body. On your back only the heaviest shields should completely block arrows but they should. Lighter shields should reduce the damage to .5 or more. I haven't noticed any special sounds either that would be cool. I have not played cRPG or native with a shield on my back for almost 2 years.

Bad idea.

Why?

Loomed Plated Charger + 3/36 build + 12 riding + 11 shield skill + 2 x Old Round Shield

At level 13 indestructible shield and 13 riding :D

10+shield resistance armor bonus on back means a 3/36 build still gets oneshotted.

I know that. I was commenting on this idea, if shield on back worked the same as front shield. It's basically my mentor's wet dream :mrgreen:

Well I haven't tested it but I'm sure it won't be easy to hit a horse if a rider has two 35 radius shields with 13 shield skill.
