Strange slowness of the Danish Greatsword

[Peasant_Woman]

I saw something like this with polearms, when I switched between the Long awlpike (speed: 89 length: 185) and Bamboo spear (speed: 90 length: 200) it definately felt like the Long awlpike was faster despite having a lower speed stat.

Maybe the longer a weapon is the slower it is also?
This wouldn't be too noticable on the Danish vs German example though.

great, so when i troll a serious thread i get muted. Yet paul mocks us danish users with his trolling and nothing happens? This seems like the kind of thing that would make glenn beck mad.

When will you learn, it's do as we say, not do as we do.

It's not trolling. It's pointing out bullshit in a humorous way.

Why are Germans so much more popular than Danishes? Especially considering this:

40c base damage (18 str/6PS/120 active wpf/quick swing/bodyhit/no speed bonus or sweetspot penalty)
against
(min|avr|max damage)
25 armor: 24|33|45
50 armor: 8|16|31
75 armor: 2|7|20

30p base damage
against
25 armor: 21|29|36
50 armor: 9|16|27
75 armor: 2|9|19

This pretty much says that using a German stab pretty much always does less damage than a Danish swing, even against the heaviest of armour. I don't get why anyone would sacrifice 1 length and 2 swing damage on 3 attacks, for 2 more damage on the stab. I doubt the look of the weapon makes all that much popular, so maybe there is something else, I don't know, the swingspeed maybe?

Teeth, you're trolling, right? ๏̯̃๏

[Teeth]

Nope, what makes you think I am?

Didn't you know that he can insult players and deride them freely? That's the usual behaviour for an admin nowadays ^^

For the topic's subject : I also feel like the german is faster than danish when i use it with my 2h alt, but don't sell it teeth, it's still a good weapon, and only non-skilled players use speed to beat their ennemies, it's a common knowledge, keep your slow weapon :p

Why do you think it's more popular in the first place? Most two handers I see use Danish Greatsword.

Market rarity =/= popularity

Everyone wants to have the sword 'they can't have'. Danish was rising in price quickly some time ago. Than the market became flooded with these things, and now people want the German gs. Since activity has halted in c-rpg, there won't be such a flood anymore. Meaning that the prices will more or less stay the same.
