even I say no to this, I had no problem with the katana of the past, I'm sad I traded mine before it got a reasonable buff(although its still weaker than it was originally ingame)

no reason to make it longer, it fills a niche especially now with good cut damage great speed but short range low weight(weightstun from others)

Katana overall model length is about 120cm. The measurement of the reach attribute starts at the forward part of the hilt and ends at the point.

u mad?

Are people just ignoring this post?
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

I see the low weight of the katana as an advantage. Carrying a 1h/2h weapon with 1.3 weight makes you faster than a 1h/2h weapon with 2 weight. As a ninja with a miaodao I experienced getting outrun by my fellow ninjas with katanas.
Then again, getting stunned everytime a 2hander or a polearm holds an attack is to me a bigger disadvantage than not running as fast as the other ninjas :P

Anyway, this should be in game balance.

And Gravoth, I didn't really understand his post. Is he saying that they shortened the katana last patch or just that it's in general too short. Whatever the case, I like its shortiness. It forces you to behave a little different than with other swords. Paul already answered him I think.

He's just whining about some phantom reach when it's really not that literate when it comes to range of weapons. They don't include hilt length, apparently.

Basically, what Urist said yeah.

I'm fascinated by how everyone is using a different measuring system.

Is the in game measuring system in cm?

The Katana length is fine. ;) I'd rather have it be relatively short than watch them increase the length at the expense of its' other attributes.

Learn the reach of your weapon and you'll be fine.

lol :D

Anyway.. Well, you can't just backwaddle and outrange spam any shielder with a katana. You can't break his shield in reasonable time, so your only chance is to trick him so you get behind him and slash him in the back. (or chamber, or kick, ok ok)

If you are low on athletics and in heavy armor you cannot even do that, and are left with chamber or kick. Which is not really options because they mean your certain death.

Learn to block anything, and learn to duel facehug style. Most duelers practice range management, and get's thrown off if u facehug with a 2h.

Katana range is not real?
Katana's arn't long at all compared to other swords, in real life.
My hand and a half sword (longsword/bastard sword, whatever tickles your fancy) is a good bit longer than my katana.
and the main point, its only a representation of it in a bloomin video game.

Maybe they should just make a flamberge for you with 101 speed, will you be happy? or will you winge cos you get outranged by pikes.

Nuff said. goodbye

Yeah, the katana is fine at the length it is. If you had a long, fast weapon with only 9 strength requirement, it would be WAY overpowered.
Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
