The state of cRPG

[polkafranzi]

Then who would care to play it? 

That's the problem bro 

There's a: being realistic and like "oh c'mon, it's a great long stick ffs, use it how it was meant to be used"

and b: cRPG needs pikemen, so allow it to be kinda fake so we don't kill off a class.

then c: don't complain about it, it's already fake enough 

[Joker86]

I take b), but it's still a long way to making it a viable fake 

[Gurnisson]

If it's two items that doesn't need any nerfs it's long spear and pike, Polkafranzi.

[Tot.]

Nerfing long awlolpike seems fair to me.

[Richter]

Being who I am, I would like to report that playing is somewhat harder in battle now that my long spear & pike are unbalanced.

[Nessaj]

Awlpikes have some pretty fast stab animations (and it seem to register pretty much instant, impossible to chamber), not unbeatable but combined with polestagger they're quite

They could use a bit of a look if everything is in order.

Otherwise the fast close-up instant stab is seen with several polearm weapons though. I'm sure some of the faster swords mimic the same tendencies (just with way less damage and much bigger chance to bounce).

[Thomek]

Problem with the awlpikes and the polearm animation in general is that it's very hard to see when the animation starts and ends. It's nigh on impossible to react to the animation start from a chambered strike. (At least I haven't learned how to do it well)

Your only option is to downblock until u hear the ding, chambering is harder than anything else. Differing between a feint, a strike and a miss(conscious or not) is also very hard.

[Cepeshi]

Yeah, the other day guy with spear run into me, chambered, and before i was able to downblock he just killed me, the animation didnt seem to start at all, he just run with chambered weap. into me and boooom

This mod is going in good direction, hopefully chadz will realise that even tho he put huge effort to make strat playable, that it simply ain't worth the time. I wish he'll ditch it and replace it with c-rpg league with different chars, fixed levels and no loomed gear and that pub c-rpg will become as casual as possible.

[Oberyn]

I can manage to chamber most long polearms (now and then), but it's just not worth it against awlpikes. If you miss you're usually dead.

i would say that you are talknig about ashwood pike

superslow spearmen or hoplites are easy to chamber.. Awlpikes not. Perhaps it has to do with the 2h mode/animations?
