Nerf speed and dmg longspear and pike. Tahts have so much speed and good pikerman can spam 2h... That so shit and suck. im pole and i can spam longsper.... -.-  Change longspeed for max maul speed omg longsped have: weapon length: 245 and weight: 2.5!@@!!!!! -.-
Now look that : Flamberge weapon length: 152 and weight: 4.... very realistic bro.... -.- more buff spear. meaby spear 300 long and speed 100?? or throw spear...? Sro for english.
Great Maul speed: 80
Longspear speed: 81

You know it used to not be unbalanced, with an overhead, without the turnrate nerf and with floorstabbing, yet barely anyone used it pure. I would like to try that longspear now. Strength of the longspear increases when average blocking skill increases. Speed up the game and longspear gets nerfed.

Please do note that when you say spam 2h, you mean that I can hit back after I block, just like every other weapon can. That is not the longspearman spamming but the 2h spamming.

Another thing about the weight: 300 length 3 weight weapon does not slow you down the same as a 150 length 3 weight weapon. Try it, pikes make you go slow as hell

If you get 1v1'd by a pike you did something wrong. Against longspear you still are probably doing something wrong. These things are mostly good for harassing enemies outside their range while team mates do another attack direction. Also can catch people by surprise or kill some cav

Also, point blank pike and longspear are useless. If you can hold down block until you get in the guys face you force him to block only.

BITCH! :P

i made a post about this, pikers are only good when they have other inf support. but they cannot make 'formations' themselves. the enemy just has to downblock and with that one click he can block over 9999 pikes at the same time (skillfull fighter is that :/)
the only thing pikeformations can do is backpeddle

From strat battles perspective everything what you said is not true (low dmg? Are u kidding me?). Or at least it's not disadvantage of pikes. There are almost no duels, mostly fight in clusterfuck and under these circumstances pikes are not only OP but also - if other team has dozen or more pikers - it's gamebreaking for every other melee class. At least in my opinion.

As to 1 vs 1 fights, yesterday, when I was spec, I saw Teeth killing some guy (Black Holes?), standing no more than 20 cm away from him with weird move and instant (really instant, there was almost no time to block it) hit in the head. So if you
can never win (1v1) against anyone whose any good
then you do sth wrong.

Pike maybe, although 3rd_Pikeman seems to be able to atleast put up a good fight in a 1 vs 1. Longspear is pretty do able in a 1 vs 1. Stabbing at 0 range is possible, but tricky. Being able to stab at 0 range means you can also kickstab, which is very effective to facehuggers.

The problem isn't really pike formations, the problem is that pike/long spear + *anything else* = deadly combo. Not impossible to deal with usually, but still extremely powerful. The same applies to great and long mauls though.

The true problem is lightspeed side stepping. This, and not backpedalling per se, allows people to jump 5 meters away from you when they finally are within your range, the number one reason pikemen are not that easy and certainly not quick to kill at all. Reduce sidestepping to the same speed as backpedalling, problem nearly fixed, overheads reliable again, long weapons and dancers whining, gameplay about the actual mechanics and not about who breaks them the most, game 300% more awesome.

What does this even mean, the way it's coming across is you not being able to beat people who are good, so you want the game to degenerate into even more of a block attack boring slog than it already is in duels.

Well longspear/pike aren't perfect, actually they are broken in few ways. But, there are so many other broken and unrealistic things in this mod/game, don't know where to start really. I'll say leave pikes where they are atm. If things change (like turn nerf removal), something else will be done to make pikes or other "great" weapons less appealing to general population.

I don't see how that can possibly nerf short weapons. Short weapons are penalized by movement, because they have the shortest reach, which means they are the ones being outreached due to people escaping by sidestepping. They are also the ones that glance on sidestepping facehuggers, because 1h animations are shit. A sidestepping nerf would make them actually benefit from their speed, being able to do more than one or zero feints when they have an opening, before the enemy goes out of reach again.


What does this even mean, the way it's coming across is you not being able to beat people who are good, so you want the game to degenerate into even more of a block attack boring slog than it already is in duels.

It does mean that I prefer a solid gameplay with a game engine that was made with it in mind rather than using unintended and random quirks of said engine. In warband, player collisions are shit, weapon momentum physics are shit. Using the fact that these are shit can mean being a good player to you, to me it only means you can break the engine to get cheap kills. I beat so-called "good" players only using the actual game mechanics rather than the repetitive lame-ass cheap-and-quick-kill tricks they will always try to perform, who is better ? They are breaking the gameplay. They are ruining it, bringing the days of spamfests back. Even worse, you can see new players imitating them, going full str running all over the place swinging their big weapons and not blocking even once.

I do not deny that duels made out of feints, chambers and holds, although I'm fine only using that, do tend to become too long. But random spam tricks are certainly not a good replacement for a skillbased gameplay. You can spam and move around, I can spam and move around, there is nothing difficult with that given the right build and equipment, the winner will be the luckiest.


Also, please downvote me more for openly stating my opinion. A king listens to his subjects.

Post by: Prinz_Karl on December 15, 2012, 02:33:41 pm
Only thing I don't like about pikes is that overhead attack of them that should actually give blunt damage if it would be realistic because it's just the raising of the pike in the sky and then dropping it and not stabbing moreover it's hitting the body in the length of the wooden part actually. I don't like it but again it must be done to balance it it's only confusing in a fight with a pikemen sometimes.

But same attack with pike and the pikemen jumping back is one thing that could be changed. What bothers me is that the power is actually compensated when the pikemen is stabbing but at the same time jumping back to hit with the length of the pike. Just makes me think that pike is broken for balancing it. Some guys before me already said it too.

They have 26p or 24p. That is a weak amount of damage. The only reason we spear users do more damage than the weapon says, is because we are smart enough to abuse speed bonus(slower weapons benefit more) and to notice half of you guys wear socks under your plate armor. Playing on NA, I think a good 70% of my stabs go to the legs simply because people have +3 heavy kuyaks and +3 plate mittens...while wearing stock rus leather boots or something similar. Its even better when they do that and wear a leather helmet or none at all.

Are you trying to say that German GS has weak stab? :rolleyes: And I thought that pikes are supposed to be supportive weapons.

Also, I didn't say I want to nerf pikes, I just think that strat battles with so many pikers become boring. Not to mention it shouldn't be possible to stab a guy standing right behind you with 3 m pike.

Are you trying to compare a two handed sword with a long spear / pike? Then saying that the poles should be balanced around 2hsword stabbing stats? lol.

I mean, not like you have 3 other attack directions that your two handed sword is balanced around. What do these long poles get?

really i have never seen such slow weapon that glances all the time and has also too much reach actually (with this reach your teammates are permanently in your way or when you stab you stab them because the animation actually takes like 5 sec or something, enough time for a teammate to jumpy in front of your pike again)

Spears may have the same or better thrust damage than the German, but you know what they don't have? In the case of the Long Spear and Pike: side-swings. In the case of 4 directional spears: side-swings worth a damn. War Spear packs a whopping 20 blunt fully loomed, and all the others are even worse.

Wouldn't piss me off honestly. I have one of the most damaging weapons in its category (+3 military hammer, 31b) and some people survive more than 8 hits, even though they have heraldic mail. Of course I would die faster too but I think the whole game would be better off.


Maybe the simplest way to fix that would be to partially roll back the soak/reduce changes that were made like a year ago now. Or, removing the HP bonus from strength, which should be possible when the devs break retrocompatibility and switch to WSE2. Dunno.
Title: Re: Nerf longspear and pike.
Post by: Zanze on December 16, 2012, 06:25:42 pm
There is your problem, blunt vs heraldic mail. Cut is still better at that point by a bit. So, not really a valid "this is op" statement.

If you are talking about everyone and their mother rolling 36-3 and claiming they are "good" or "pro". A better example would be one where 1 player is able to 1 shot everyone fighting him, while taking multiple (5+) hits to die. Check siege for this. Siege is spawning grounds for 36-3 builds.

it's all about the animation abuse that pisses people off nothing more.

Piking the sky than hitting the face. can't even block it sometimes. same goes for lolstab, it's still OP (i play 2h)

abusing animations=unfair advantade--->nerf. sounds fair to me tbh.

I personally love aiming at feet with the pike.  Doesnt look as wonky as stabbing the air and dropping it. Im not that kind of piker.

But yeah, Pikes and longspears have relatively low dmg output. We only get 1 attack animation (stab).  They are incredible team weapons but otherwise not so much.

Wasn't that bad with my MW heavy lance before they nerfed the damage down to 26p.  Now I have a MW Lance and everything is much better.

Long time since you played Native? Hear this quite often here, that the stab hasn't really been nerfed, seems people don't remember the original lolstab from the early cRPG. Stabs can still be problematic but they are nothing compared to what they were. Which is probably also why some of the early 'good players' who relied on the lolstab now play Nditions or polearm, just as some of those who relied on the polestun now play support or shielder.

the fact it was very OP before (and it was) doesn't mean it isn't OP now; they nerfed it, yes, but there's still something wrong with 2h stab.

I play native quote often, the c-rpg 2h stab is currently a lot stronger than the native one, even with natives insane wiggling.

How so? At the very least that suggests that he at least tried the weapons he was calling nerfs for. Which is better than the majority of this community, who merely call nerfs as and when they please based entirely upon the anger of a brief moment.

It should be a requirement that someone who calls for the reduction of something, will play said thing for a certain amount of time in order to get a bit of perspective.

Longspears and pikes are weapons with an incredible potential if used right - though many wielders haven't found out just how yet. There's a reason these weapons have repeatedly revolutionized warfare over the course of millennia.

In cRPG they are also as irritating to go up against and get killed by as other support wings such as cav and ranged; they (cowardly :wink:) stay out of reach and strike when you are most vulnerable and usually otherwise engaged. Don't think they are that OP though, but they are truly strong if not near unbreakable in numbers with proper support. The constant 'jump backwards and stab' silliness could be executed a bit better though, I personally find that these weapons should be dropped when close quarter fighting is imminent, as they were historically.

Do you have a player attacks ss which is 245 longspear someone at this distance, magic attacks.

Adin why you don't locked block longspear and create realistic atack with longspear... ohhh You have so much $$$  and doing so little to us that the game was realistic.

BITCH! :P

i made a post about this, pikers are only good when they have other inf support. but they cannot make 'formations' themselves. the enemy just has to downblock and with that one click he can block over 9999 pikes at the same time (skillfull fighter is that :/)
the only thing pikeformations can do is backpeddle
right like you've never been surrounded by 2-3 pikers poking you to death

Post by: Grumbs on January 15, 2013, 12:01:04 am
I advise trying out the longspear, and you will see that the 245 length is deceptive. Pole stabs are maybe the shortest animation in the game. You hold the weapon in the middle and they have an effective reach that completely ignores a part of the end of the stab (it glances). Theres a portion of the stab that doesn't exist until some time after you release, so point blank you won't hit anything. If you jump back, aim to the side and have a slight delay you might hit someone up close, but you are at a severe disadvantage against anyone at this range.

They are good support weapons, but personally I just don't really like them. 1 attack direction makes you very predictable and vulnerable. You can't clutch the same as with any other weapon. If you see a long spear in a team fight then you should focus target him early on and put pressure on him. You will either force him back or at least keep him busy so he doesn't hurt your team mates. Just don't overextend and focus him too much, you just want to remove the threat. They are especially weak if you 2v1 him or more. You should know before going into a team fight if theres a pike or long spear you have to contend with, and decide if you fight then or not. You don't have to fight just because both teams have players there, you can always fall back and re group or fight where it benefits the team more. Thats just how I see it, don't let a long spear or pike dictate the fight but try not to overextend too. Maybe some others have better advice

Some players do very well solo with a long spear or pike, but generally they are just doing well despite the flaws of the weapon. Give them any other weapon and they will probably do even better
