It appears that the game will not show the weight values of equipment below 0.3 weight.

Is this a display error, an intentional omission to confuse player, or are these items actually weightless?

I ask because the c-prg.net page does still list these items with their weight values.

Currently recruited!

(click to show/hide)

Name: Shrugger
Ingame Nickname: Shrug_The_Messenger
Region: EU central (Germany)
Age: 23
Level: 30 (22 at the moment, but not for long. Besides, one can always STF).
Class: 15/25 Melee. Lightly armoured Two-Hander (Sword of War, usually); fairly flexible.
Generation: 2
Play time: I'm not obsessive about crpg, so maybe an hour per day on average?
Languages: English, German, a little French
Mic: Yes
Playing hours: Flexible. I get off work in between 13 and 22 o'Clock, and usually play an hour (or more) soon after. But as said, I'm flexible.

Alright. If you've ever seen me on the servers (EU1, mostly), I'm the guy with light armour (1-7 weight) running around with a Two-Hander (Shortened Military Scythe or Sword of War, usually). I sometimes carry a zero-skill shield so I can rush Archers, and a normal Crossbow with Steel bolts (but no proficiency) to shoot horses (it works!). I guess I could take a spear along, too. I tend to run ahead of the team in order to outflank the enemy, draw melee fighters out to duel, and to kill unsuspecting archers. I'm also quite good at killing horses.

I'm looking for a Clan with good teamwork, and someone who can shout orders at me - because when I play alone I get too sloppy and careless (read: I charge straight at the enemy and die). I don't care particularly much about the details, as long as you can use a close-range skirmisher in your battle groups. My stats aren't very impressive, but I can assure you that my performance is considerably better when I have a good team to work with.

So hire me, dammit. I don't cost a thing and you can surely use me for something.

9/30 sounds a lot better, and you still have 10 athletics then.

Nah, when you've settled for a spear and a high-speed approach, it's better not to compromise your strengths.

It's generally shorter, I would assume?

But faster? Or maybe it has an easier-to-handle hitbox? It can't be all worse!

I don't think the devs should necessarily change armor values, but I think that they should consider rebalancing armor weights. It kind of makes no sense that an armor that weights like double the weight of another armor only offers like 20% more defense, and almost ten times the cost.

Diminishing returns!

So what's the problem with the pole stab?

I find that it certainly does have a psychological advantage - most people are utterly incapable of correctly judging its length and speed.

But as to all else...does the animation truly make it worse? How so?

General Discussion / Shortened Military Scythe

« on: August 19, 2012, 10:11:41 pm »

Recently, I've been thinking about this some.

Shortened Military Scythe
Two-Handed Weapon

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


weapon length: 112
weight: 2.2
difficulty: 10
speed rating: 90
weapon length: 112
thrust damage: 27 pierce
swing damage: 39 cut
slots: 2

It has the best thrust damage of all Two-Handers, and it's rather cheap. Apart from that, it's roundly inferior to the greatswords in all other stats.

BUT! It has a special thrust animation; essentially half-swording. Similar to that of the Langes Messer.

So I wonder. Does that particularity in the thrust give it an advantage? Does it enlarge the thrust hitbox, or does it decrease its range? Does it make the thrust faster or slower? Anything else?

Input, please.

Yup, plate should bounce all cut weapons, but what about jumping in it?
I don't think it is good that human with around 34kg (~75lb) on him/her coul jump.

Now that would be interesting.

So you'd have tanks that are immune to many weapons, but cannot enter some kinds of terrain.

If you get hit as an AGI build, you're doing it wrong.

I'm too sloppy with my footwork and fencing to run a build like that, but rock on! AGI is the way to go for fun and glory!

My build. It's what I've always used, still use, and probably will continue to use.

(click to show/hide)

Attributes
STR: 15
AGI: 25

Skills
Power Strike: 5
Athletics: 8
Weapon Master: 8

Proficiency
Two-Handed: 172

Armour (weight)
Leather Gloves (0.1)
Rawhide Coat (0.7)
Hunter Boots (0.2)

Weapon: Sword of War
Weight: 3.0
Damage: 40 Cut, 23 Pierce
Length: 121
Speed: 93

Fast runner, jumper and dodger; hits hard enough to two-shot a tin can, provided that one utilises proper footwork. I usually play it as a skirmisher at the flanks; drawing enemy combatants away into duels to thin their lines, or attacking archers from the sides. Works nicely for that, as long as one doesn't get shot.

Really nice for cutting down riders, horses, or both.
