1 handers vs plate armor.

Armour needs to work better, they nerfed it.

This! Everything kills me in 2 hits

Pierce weapons deal massive dmg on plate since the soak  has been nerfd even 3 peasants with their small daggers can beat the shit out of u because every hit goes right through ur armor.

The 1 who had the idea to nerf the armor soak also said that the pierce and blunt weapons will get an advantage after it and that these weapons also had to be nerfd but these Weapons dont got nerfd !! WHY NOT?!! Plz nerf pierce and blunt weapons to make armor worth again!!

I really think that they should also add in a "sanity" system. In real life if someone who was a peasant saw a man in full black armor he'd probably flee in absolute horror. Anyone who isn't in at least 15 pounds of armor should have a rapidly rising meter the closer they are to a plate wearer, and when this gauge is full it should cause them to randomly drop an item and flee in terror.

No true, the English have always had a reputation for pure insanity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Agincourt The bulk of the English army wear in mail and padded leather. The french were tooled up to an extreme degree.

A man wearing so much armour he can bearly move will be over whelmed and killed by a small group of faster padded nobbers.

The upkeep on any form of heraldic or plate would have to be very high, 10k per round. Then it would be realistic. Most of us peasants would have a snow balls chance in hell of being able to aford heavy plate and its upkeep.

But... people are able to do cartwheels and run full speed in full plate.

^ this. When I wear my armor sometimes people can kill me in as little as 5 hits. Obviously I should need to be hit at least 30 times before I am dead. The devs need to fix this horrible change to armor. I need to be able to stroll out into the battlefield, go AFK for a few minutes and when I come back I should be completely unharmed. Buff armor!

plate is only strong when ppl just go "smack smack smack - whaaat? my slash attack is not doing enoguh dmg??? but its 30 cut, much better tham my 22 pierce...."

Big pic, but fitting for such idiocy.

Also, 1 shotting people in clothes and naked no matter the weapon or the build is a must.

it's fukken weird to see someone without head protection surviving a sneaky overhead attack and still able to overrun you after the hit.

In real life 1h weapons are effective against plate.  You just have to aim for the joints or thrust.  So swords in addition to hammers and picks should be able to damage plate, though not as much.  That is exactly how it is in game now!

Most people don't like realism arguments (I'm not one of them), so in that case it is important for balance issues as well.  Plate would be too powerful if only blunt/pierce could damage them at all.

If I was a peasant, I wouldn't flee from a fully plated guy.  Just doge/parry the first attack and tackle him.  Then gouge his eyes and armor joints with your pointy stick or dagger.

Good luck tackling a large, powerful man so used to wearing sixty pounds of steel on his body that he can cartwheel in it. Oh, and watch out for his quick, sharp, and very large pole-axe or great sword, I heard those are dangerous. If he doesn't cut you in half, he will crush your skull with his lobstered-steel gauntlet.

BULLASHITA! Kill this thread already.

[Ohayashi]

I don't know what's worse. Three quarters of this thread being hyper-saturated in sarcasm, or the other quarter taking the former seriously.

this gets all my votes

My +1 long dagger is super effective. It's pretty surprising how many people think it is a puny weapon and run onto the end of it to get 1 shotted.
