Game Balance Discussion / Re: Buff 1h swords speed

« on: January 17, 2011, 03:40:17 am »

Take a sword and swing it in one hand
Okay feel that?
Now use both your hands
Wow way easier eh?
Swinging faster?
Yes, yes you are.

Okay, end of debate.

See the problem with your logic is the 2 handed weapons weigh 3 times as much as the one handed weapons. so what i SHOULD do is take three of the weapons iw as swinging with one hand and swing it with two.

If you haven't noticed, the weapons you can with 2 handed and one handed do have speed nerf when handled in 1 hand. But 2 handed weapons weigh alot more which creates alot more inertia... thus the answer to why they are two handed.

Severant, you seem to have a very DnD inspired view of two handed swords.

and UrLukur, you're just flat out wrong. Polearms and 2h weapons are placed at similar speeds to 1h weapons. In fact, 1h weapons actually currently already hold the fastest weapons in the game.

DnD inspired? No i think its mainly just a realistic and a good game balanced view.

Why should 1h weapons be faster than any other weapon in the game on average?

because 1) you can swing something a one handed weapon faster that a 2 handed weapon IRL (faster = start to finish of a swing not velocity) and 2) 2 hand/ Pole arms already have the reach and damage, they don't also need speed

Now the most common excuse why 2handers and poles have all 3 of those advantages is that they can't block range.. this is strait bs because almost ALL the pole / 2handers i see carry a shield on thier back that they use to close with ranged ppl then pull out thier 2 handers and spam them to death. So you can't use that excuse anymore.

Ok then, another proposal.
Why not buff 1h damage or debuff the 2h one?
Currently 2h/pole have the advantage of speed, range and damage while 1h has arrow protection (well sometimes, if the enemies have a bad aim and don´t shoot in a bad angle).

Yeah i know "But in real life you can hit harder if you use two hands!!!" and in real life the shields dont have twice of their weight and you can attack while blocking.

you can't use the no range protection excuse with 2hand/pole... i seee TONS of 2 handers / pole arms pull out a shield, close, then pull out 2 handers/ poles and preceed to spam ppl to death. Quit using that excuse pls.

The argument is bollocks anyway. Of course all weapons are faster when being swung with two hands. However, we are not talking about handling the same weapon with one or two hands. Learn logic.

swings per minute are not faster, yes the velocity is but the momentum carries the weapon farther and takes longer to bring around for another swing. So LOGICALLY and REALISTICLLY 1 handers are faster when counting swings per second... not velocity....

All weapons are faster held with 2 hands than with 1 hand only.

2 handed weapons are NOT faster that one handed weapons, and this is a game balance anyway. The reason 2 handers are slower is a wider sweep, like 3 times the weight, and you put your whole body into a 2 handed swing... 1 handers are faster but less power. Maybe you should take a 50 pound weight and swing it around a couple of times and see how fast you are.

The two hand swing speed (2h and pole) should never be faster than a one hander. Thier advantages should be range and damage... not range, damage, and speed...
