Increase weight of ranged weapons + ammo to the point where melee have a chance to catch runners.

If a ranged weapon is dropped, make it so it can't be picked back up.

Leads to ranged having to stay close to support or find a fixed position to defend, and at least stand and fight when they are caught.

Whats wrong with 2 archers killing 1 infantry anyways, 2 infantry kill 1 archer so 

The thing is, 2 archers can kill 1 infantry and be in absolutely no danger, one kites while the other shoots, infantry can't engage the target and will take a hit sooner or later.

Meanwhile 2 infantry against 1 archer (assuming they manage to dodge and weave their way into melee range) will still be in danger against the archer, sure they have an advantage in that they are a melee build, but the difference isn't THAT great and we've all seen archers take down at least one opponent in these situations when they've finally stopped running.

Please don't, I love being able to couch on my donkey

Can confirm. He actually managed to donkey-couch me during DonkeyRace preparation. Not even with a 13 riding STF but with a normal char.

Only thing that shocks me here is that I haven't seen a STF with a practice lance named Donkey Punch

General Discussion / Re: How to implement multi in conquest?

« on: June 01, 2014, 04:17:43 pm »

To continue with this, maybe defenders start with a high multi and their current multi is affected by the number of flags they hold, when they hold 100% of flags, x5, 80% x4, 60% x3 and so on, and then attackers get multi's for get a multi for the number of flags they hold as well, if they now control 20% of flags, they get a x2 and so on until the round ends.

So basically your multi is based off the percentage of the map you hold. Also you can have it so the attackers become defenders at the round end.

Alternatively, you could just forget about attackers and defenders, and have both teams as attackers, vying for control of a neutral town/port/field/whatever, so each team starts with one flag on x1, and have a number of flags between them unowned by either team at the start, each worth +1 multi.

They are the only thing in the game that can reduce enemy ranged damage to 0, except if theres no line of sight or the enemy misses

You've never been shot at point blank range with your shield raised have you?

General Discussion / Are shields worth it anymore?

« on: May 19, 2014, 02:47:42 pm »

Recently I respecced from my 21/15 shielder build, having grown a bit frustrated at just how slow I was compared to most other people.  Now I'm 15/21, which mostly solves the speed issue, still a tiny bit slower than most due to the extra weight, etc but its bearable.

The problem however, is that even with 7 shield skill and a MP shield, the damn thing is still destroyed in 3-4 hits by anyone with a bonus against shield weapon (which is quite a lot these days) and doesn't even last that long against others.  It seems kinda pointless to invest so heavily into a skill (aside from my personal belief that 1h shield is very UP atm) when it is so easily nullified.

Anyone else find this?

Haven't read the whole thread, sorry if something like this has been suggested.

For lack of a better way of providing the example, why not make the system something like Arathi Basin in WoW, where each team gains reward based on the number of flags they control each tick.  Gives the defenders incentive to launch counterattacks rather than just camping it up.

Defenders start with x5, attackers start with x1, if attackers take a flag they go x2 and defence drops to x4, etc.

Reset multi for everyone to this level at the start of each round.
