Title: What was the reason for nerfing throwers 3 times?
Post by: F i n on March 10, 2013, 05:32:23 pm
First, by changing the time needed to switch weapon modes,
Second, by removing jumpthrowing,
Third by overpowering shields

?

Yep, now you need to use up most of your ammo to break the shield.

Don't aim for shielders??

On my thrower alt i tend to target anyone without a shield, or with their back turned to me - it works more than targetting shielders, however the jumpthrowing is annoying :3

It probably looked kind of like this:

2h: olololo blaacne taem !!!
balance team: How can we help ?
2h: nurf dem throwerz plix plox
balance team: why
2h: cuz he throws and then like he hit in melee before I oneshot him omgwtf lol good joke
balance team: But he is supposed to be switching weapon modes with throwing weapons and be able to hit you in melee. You have the better melee build and should be able to fight him just fine.
2h: teh fuq if i spam mah danish i has to get dem kills ! iz justicce !!!!1
balance team: Oh you are are 2h ? In that case, consider it done sir. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Regardless of whether 2h got -1 damage across all weapons every patch then they still would be quite powerful for a while, and they wouldn't have any grounds for saying "welcome to 2h" every time something else gets nerfed.

Like I've said many times before; nerfing by restricting what you can do is really bad. So is decreasing game speed and accuracy.
This applies to all classes.

It had been much better to decrease the ammo and/or damage of the throwing weapons.

Not only does jump throwing make sense. It takes skill and makes it far more exciting to play as a thrower.
Throwing is boring now compared to before. That is not how you should go about when nerfing.

Nope, this would be freaking horrible.

Zlisch, maybe not both.

But if you decrease the ammo, you would probably get less throwers and the ones remaining would be the good ones.
After that you can increase the damage instead.

Atleast I was very succesful as a thrower with only 4 throwing lances.

A class should not get nerfed because a few really good players are "op" but maybe that's how it works.
With that said, the majority of crpg players suck, no matter what class they play and that has always been the case.
And that is also what I like about crpg, what is left off it, that there is a huge difference between good and bad players.
It makes it more challening and is also the reason I'm hooked. I would hate a game were everyone are equally good. How fucking boring.

Or keep the jumpthrow, but make it super mega inaccurate and lower the dmg done while throwing mid air.

Good thing to even it up would be to add 2 slot throwing stuff. Like, i dont know, the throwing spears could be 8 ammo 2 slots. So in the end you can pull out a 0 slot short sword like all the other ranged class do now.

In my opinion the biggest fun factor nerf throwing class got it when they removed axes sticking on the player they it. After playing like 7 gen i was still entertained when i threw an axe in the face of a dude, he kept running at me and killed me with the axe stuck between his eyes.

Riddaren, decreasing the ammo or the damage will royally screw throwers even worse, my throwing lances as is often don't onehit light armored archers I'm riding towards full speed, and we already got so low amounts of ammo that we can easily waste four slots on successful hits (hitting the body, not the legs, horses, arms, or shield) and still not have a decent score or kd.

Shields op against throwing? IMO it feels as if throwing ignores my shield completely almost everytime i face a thrower :( All the throwing nerfs are still stoopid and something has to be done to buff this beautifully annoying class!

Well, horse throwing is clearly underpowered and has always been afaik.
It's also a shame that you don't get speed bonus for throwing while riding towards the target.
IMO hitting someone with a throwing lance should 1 hit kill most of the time if hitting body or head (ofc), given it penetrates.

My horse (destrier) sometimes takes only 1/4 damage from throwing lances. That is wrong.

You do get a speed bonus now, it's capped at like 20% though as far as I know, and destriers have always been brokenly overpowered tanks and the gods of cav.

Oh, didn't know... that's cool but 20% seems way too little.
Good thing my destrier is +3. The only thing I don't have +3 is a helmet. The most overrated item in game.

Last class that needed a nerf in any way is throwers, still got hit by it.

GGS/DGS got nerfed, all axes and other stuff got buffed to compensate.

2H lobby rules cRPG.

By far not. +3 helmets are really useful, especially against pikes, average ranged weaponry and 1Hs. It also helps a lot against the players that always attacks your head, which goes for all melee weapons. Overrated, I think not. Underrated, yes.
