Title: [SUGGESTION]Shields on back protect-limit shields to one per round.{NEW POLL}
Post by: Devilize on January 14, 2011, 02:43:06 am
NEW POLL
In bringing back the protection from shields on back there is the issue of mounted and unmounted turtles, but I feel if we limit the amount of shields in the inventory to one this would be eliminated from the scenario and would balance the shield protection on back.

Pros
Cons

bad idea to reimplement too many cav would use it as having 17shields don't slow them down.

It was taken out of warband multiplayer itself, I'm told reason being everyone and their mother were walking turtles.

I think this is a good enough reason to not do this.

I think they should block arrows and still minimize melee damage. Makes no sense to have it on your back without any benefits at all...

The benefits of an extra shield are having an extra shield to use when one breaks.

If you do not feel like that is enough of a benefit, then don't take 2 shields.

If I'm not mistaken, shields already do add to body armor.

maybe we should consider only being allowed to bring one shield in a round.

I believe a shield on the back should provide 75% protection from archers
IE: 25% damage would be delivered, except in blunt.

That would probably  require some scripting, though. I still think rear-shield
protection is a great idea.

I vote they should protect, at least from arrows.  I need practice aiming at people's feet.

Now that the archers are so buffed they should learn to
fire are the feet of shield-wielders. Especially those who
think they can go on just using a shield and body armor.

But yeah, back shields.

I think ill add a bit to the poll. With consideration to possibly limiting shields to one per round but adding protection to your shield on back we can eliminate turtles and still have our Achilles moment.

can anyone tell me how much archers got buffed?

Not really?

Arrow damage was increased, shield coverage was decreased. So, shooting around the shield is actually possible. Dosen't offset the cut dmg bows do now, nor the slower animation

As an archer I wouldn't mind if shields would protect while on back. Like on native something like 25%. So it wouldn't be the primary reason to have one on your back. Also would be nice if it would protect the same against melee.

I agree as an archer/crossbowman it would be fairly annoying just to see some with a sheild just running and not able to hit him cuz hes sheathed the sheild, Also its just like saying i want to attack some one whilst having my long Awlpike sheathed

@Devilize i do play only with one shield, but i wouldn't take away the freedom to choose which playing style a player wants. Keep in mind, carrying an extra shield makes you damn slow, they cant just run away, they are more like walking walls behind that an archer could hide.
If you take away this, i would also consider to only allow one type of weapon to carry, either your an archer or your not, youre a pollguy or a 2h swinger or you throw stuff, but no hybrids, that would be the logical conclusion to me, out of your suggestion. If restricting an allready not very strong playstile in context of k/d ratio, then restrict others even strong too. Would you like that?
