QQ about armor.

[Keshian]

Bows and crossbows are not much affected by the armor changes. They basicly use the old parameter thanks to a little trick we managed to pull off and should behave like prepatch damage-wise. Sorry if I spoiled the usual making-shit-up though.

I guess it was just the MASSIVE nerf to damage from reducing shoot speed by 31%.

kesh.... kesh.

You are still quite capable of jumping into a cluster of enemies and spam while wearing plate.

Naw.. not a tight cluster anyway, like hopping into the group at the top of a ladder in siege.  You're so slow that - so long as they are actually attacking you - the swing interruption will likely leave you dead before you can get off a single attack.

Reducing the shotspeed actually increased the damage from speedbonuseffects. The slower the projectile, the higher the bonus.
So with the same amount of damage on your bow and arrows (you might have swapped from bodkins to lesser arrows), same PD and wpf, you deal more damage to targets running in your direction.

The fights did loose a lot of epicness and you get way more gangbanged naow.

More realistic yes !!! more fun noes....

Lost epicness but also NOT more realistic actually. Anyone wearing heavy armor IRL would not be staggered by every little 1h sword or stick hit.

That's happened to me quite a bit now. The main thing wearing heaver armor now does in that scenario is allows you to take more hits before you inevitably die. It's very hard to actually FIGHT in it vs a bunch of players unless maybe you have a very quick weapon and lots of WPF. Now it's like a bunch of gnats attacking and taking down a bear.

Yea but i was thinking of how you could fight multiple enemies by doing  8  patterns causing lots of bounce now you just get interrupted and die horribly.

I want to see more votes. As is I am happy that I was not alone in disliking the new armor changes.

Good.  You're not fucking chuck norris.

Bump.

Armour should be what it was, if agi and st builds are not balanced you need to find another way of balancing them.

Like actually enhancing the skills instead.

[Paul]

No, it stays as it is because I like it. U mad?

[Karmazyn]

No, it stays as it is because I like it. U mad?

With small modifications.
Less damage to body = more power to axes and berdiche user because bigger chance to destroy enemies shield before they die. Why is berdiche unbalanced and long berdiche not unbalanced, same with great axe and long war axe and all of them have bonus against shield?

To this day, with all the developpers fucking everything up, Urist is still the only dev I like.
