Katana's Thrust

[Thomek]

well high athletics and low armor is an attempt to redeem the short range of the katana..

It doesn't change the fact that the weapon is underpowered.. 

Just to quote Fasader recently:
"Katanas already get double cost (not only repair) because of the weeaboo factor. ;)"

Why is this the only wep that got this special nerf? I mean.. "the weaboo factor" - you have even added lots of new weaboo gear since the nerf! Make a choice! Either make weaboo stuff comparable in stats for the ones who want to play like this, or remove it altogether. Make it more pricey if you must, but don't make it worse than the euro gear.

Same reason why arrows get double the upkeep and nothing else, so carrying the standard two quivers of bodkins means that you are effectively upkeeping 20,232 gold.

Katanas get this special price increase in some attempt to make them more "exotic" and I suppose it works.
Besides, listen to any overly rich player and they cling to "but cost is not a good balancer!" forgetting that most players are new or substantially more poor...

No, not really. The same reason would be, if every 2h was overpriced, but in this case its just the katana. Thats like only the bodkins would have the double repair thing and the rest not.

Yes, but unlike every 2Her, both all arrows and the katana have the same thing in common

A lot of people hate them and want them removed form the game or extremely rare!
