These self-entitled and magnanimous whine threads are really starting to get old.

Damn, that counter-whine.

Was there anything done to alleviate the current agility dominance of the meta-game?

With my original suggestion we can see the return of 30/3 builds who use low difficulty weapons to offset their loss of weapon proficiency.

Strength over the limit of an armor's or weapon's difficulty should give a slight reduction in wpf penalty.
The reduction in wpf penalty should be more than the wpf granted from an extra point in agility, but less than the bonus of an extra point in WM.

This would help slower, tankier builds hold their own against the large amounts of agility based builds currently dominating the servers.

Where do I sign up for these raffles? I don't want to miss a chance for unique weapons.

What? for real?

The Chinese really deserve their own dedicated server. They constitute 1/3 of the total c-rpg fanbase easily.

Thank you, my friend! We do not like those racists. In our game base, they are unwelcome.

I get kicked multiple times from the Chinese server if I type the words, "I want a chinese girlfriend" in English.

Someone asked me that if I was chinese, not to "make bad the name of chinese blood."

Still like playing with them though.

edit:: I also got banned from racism because I said China man, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
edit2:: At prime time during a weekday you can see 85~ people on the Chinese server.
edit3:: The Chinese really like agility polearm builds and one-handed shielders right now. Seems to be dominating their server. There are hardly any 2-handers.

Well, yes, it does?

Damage is randomised. Also you don't know if the guy is actually an agility build, or what quality armor he is wearing. Unless you've done controlled tests with someone, you are just complaining about how someone once didn't die in a single hit.

I don't see what the issue is.

You're a pretty bad sceptic. Re-read what I originally wrote, he was hit with two arrows before I swung into him. It was a solid head connect. If you want to doubt the reliability of my story, go ahead, it won't get you anywhere on your next undergraduate paper. I'm sick of you B+ college students applying this got-to-top-the-next-guy criticism to everything you encounter in life. It's not appropriate. I'm asking for some simple tips to play better and you're just giving me nonsense. You sound like a complete idiot, do you realize that?

Thanks to everyone else though. Most of this stuff I already know. I was wondering more if there is something particular about the Persian, I've heard a couple times that certain weapons have sweet spots or some weapons have wonky hitboxes. I know all the stuff that's easy to find by searching, but there's some things about this game that are hard to look up - like how exactly unbalanced traits work, or how certain weapons have longer chambering timezones than others.

Protip: 1 example is not a sufficient test group.

My anecdotal evidence lacks credibility. Thank you for this genius, smartass.

I'm level 33, 9 ps, 5 ath, 5 wm and I have 139 points dumped into 2-handed. I use a MW Persian Battle Axe.

Just now I kicked and then landed a cleanly placed headshot on an obvious polearm agility build, his helmet being a Blue Morion, and I didn't kill him, he was wounded by two arrows prior.

I feel like when I connect my hits I'm not doing the damage I should be doing. I don't know if it's the lack of a speed bonus or the hitbox of the Persian, or if my expectations are too high. If I play with a MW Highland Claymore or a MW Morningstar, the damage feels good - it feels like I'm the heavy hitter I should be.

Any tips?
