Katana Analyzed in Relation to the Bastard Sword

[Jago]

Trying to balance by "flavor of the month" will only create a see-saw effect.

Taking parts of my analysis out of context does not strengthen your argument, it shows your lack of understanding of the topic.

yeah in case you missed the last 10 years of gaming that is how balancing works.
there is no perfect balance as long as you have a player factor.

[Jago]

The difference is that as apposed to most games, we are simply balancing the speed and weight of a weapon, not how good a warrior's charge ability is as compared to a wizards fireball spell. This is much less abstract and can be balanced by applying math and physics. Math is a much more accurate tool than listening to the complaints of the loud minority.

[Meow]

yes you can use math for stat balancing but it will fail.
if you want it balanced you need to give all items the same stats or just make it one item for each category and be done with it.
just because the game is not your basic mmorpg doesn't mean balancing is any different.
actually it's way more complex.

The developers are incompetent.

You realize this mod is free and without these "incompetent" developers you wouldn't be able to play it at all. Someone isn't doing his job properly and they aren't developers. Moderators shouldn't allow little twats like you to trash talk people who work hard and give their best so we could continue playing this wonderful mod.

Why don't you find another free2play online game where you can role play Ninja and save us all from your stupid comments.

[Jago]

Hey Leshma, the developers were being rude to me so I was rude back. Now you are being rude to me.

[Babelfish]

Jago, did you just start physics this semester? You should do some more reading and solving tasks, instead of writing up that mess you did on the first page.

Anyway, Mattressi raised some valid points which you ignored for most parts, why would anyone else be arsed to give you feedback, if thats how your going to respond?

[Jago]

Babelfish, the weight of the arms, according to Mattressi of 9.5 lbs, cannot proportionally be added to the weight the weapon to calculate weight and speed ratios. Wave your arms back and forth as fast as you can, it is almost instantaneous. The arms are applying the impulse to the sword, they are not part of the ratio.

Which points did I ignore? How many comments have completely ignored my points. It is simple math. Prove me wrong.

Perhaps if people addressed my post in a more civil and constructive manner, in a friendly debate, rather than insulting me and being rude, things would be going more smoothly. In any event, look at my first posts, I started this out in a civil manner, the members of this community have pulled it down to its.. pedestrian level.

I didn't say anything to not be an ass but katana is already too much fast 5 length is irrelevant and hard to calculate while playing.

All ninjas (You had ninja sig and ninja_jago dunno if it's true) have high agility AND athletics this 5 length different doesn't mean shit when you can outrun most people.

Learn to block and stop whining.

[Jago]

Where were the whines in my original post? There were none. It is a simple analysis. Your statements are simple speculation on your part with no facts to back them up. Also, more rudeness directed at me for my mathematical analysis. Didn't know math could piss people off so much. Next time I want to start a fight I'll start talking about Algebra.

[Vexus]

I don't think anyone's pissed here apart of you (5 pages saying why your maths should be used)

[Jago]

5 pages and still not one good argument against my calculations. Just a bunch of rudeness directed at me. Matt argued from a decent perspective, but was still rude.

[Meow]

yeah it might look like that for you if you take every counter argument as rudeness.

for everyone else there was no argument in here in the first place but some random math about stuff that can't be balanced purely by numbers...

[Jago]

Right, because according to you, you can't use math to balance a game.

[Meow]

dude in case you didn't notice by now. no one agrees with anything you said so far.
now that might either be everyone else being an idiot or it's just you...

just because you open up a thread about something doesn't mean people have to agree with you, also they will be assholes if you just go on and on and on about the same stuff people stopped carring about after your first post.

just saying.
