Title: Shield bash?
Post by: Renly_ on June 20, 2012, 01:42:48 pm
I was thinking that a shield bash technique like in the Floris mod would be pretty sweet, I don't know if its been already suggested so sorry if it has.

The Peloponession Wars mod has it to, I think, the question is whether the stun would make it OP.

I voted yes simply to increase the options in combat. More stuff like this. I also want to see the ability to pull down shields and yank cavalry off of their horses.

This would make playing as a hoplite a good 1v1 class! Not that I'm saying it is weak in 1v1, but it's definitely a disadvantage having only one direction for attacking.

Kicking without a shield is way better than kicking with a shield (you can manually block all directions but down).  I always thought that was kind of a ridiculous imbalance considering that with a shield you could just lean your body weight into the person to move them around, or give them a good bash with the shield.  Remove kicking with shield, and make it into a shield bash.

In Floris, it allows for either a stun or a knockdown, you can still kick, its also annoying to use, unless you rebid it to something else, other wise you shield bash if you try to attack when your shield is up.

Yes, that particular implementation is annoying as fuck. Had it in some mods i played, disabled immediately.

Maybe it shall just replace the kicking with shield? (Wich is kinda useless, I mean the kicking with shield)

This.

If anyone has played Vikingr you can knock cav off of their horses which i think is really neat.

Nice animation.

Yes for this. It could have the same effect as a kick with a slightly longer reach.
It could do a small amount of damage depending on sheild weight. And the sheild speed also could control the cooldown.

I say, leave the kick, activate the shield bash some other way, like double right click. Different directions for different animations and effects.

Sprint + shieldbash to charge.

edit: oh and remove those silly forcefields afterwards of course.

YES. Just replace it with kick when the user has a shield in his hand!

Not sure if WSE could do this, but it would be awesome. You couldn't spam it because it would have a cooldown, and it would be high risk as well.

I think a shield bash feature would be a great idea for this game as long as it had a cool down. The effect would have to be a knockdown or a stun(Stun would be way better in my opinion) The stun would kinda be like the pole stagger that polearms have. It would also give a good perk for being a shielder or a hoplite.

always wondered why the hell the developers didn`t introduced this feature in the 1st place.  (right button pressed = shield active + kick = shield bash ! simple kick without right button pressed!! )  do we need atomic scientists for this?!        decide to register just to pop this : as a 1h shielder i always strugle in game to say to my foes : - that you can take my ticks but you can never take my SHIEEELLLLDDD  !   -


hope something will change for shielders like me : coz i`m beggining to loose my enthusiasm in this game.
