Most.....retarded.....frustrating.....shit.........ever!

Now I wonder, did the Warband devs actually put this in as a feature or was it some unpleasant side effect?

If the former is the case, what where they thinking? Hey, let's implement that when a polearm hits someone his character spasms like a moron. So that you can sidestep and keep hitting and stunning him! That's so cool cause you can kill someone without him being able to do anything about it! It's obviously a realistic representation of some effect pole mounted weapons have on the human body.

+1 for removal.

Polestun was intended as a stagger for pike support, but they didn't fix it for non-support weapons for some reason. Polestun should probably stay on pikes and long spears but not for slashing poles.

Nope should be gone from all poles, especially pikes and long spears. They're the most annoying.

I can agree to it being removed from Poleaxes and LHB. Supportive weapons like spears should still have it, or they would be made useless.

long spear is a deadly weapon as it is, without the polestun too. I dislike polestun because a gla spammer can do two deadly hits in a row on you, but i also dislike polestun because in a melee clusterfuck, if you get hit by a longspear, you're dead , unless you have crapton of loomed armor and IF.

Yes but isnt that what the long spear is made for, supporting infantry? Would be fun to see hoplites without stun.

What the hell, you guys actually think polestun makes sense? It is ridiculous! How is adding a weird ass stagger that takes a full second to one group of weapons a proper feature or a good way to balance something?

Longspears are useful without the stagger, and even then stagger is fuckin lame. Thats exactly the same as 250 wpf guys spamming you without you being able to return a hit. It takes skill out of the game to replace it with being fucked over by borked game mechanics.

Well if they remove polestun many weapons such as spears will be made pretty much useless. Like i said, i can agree to stun being removed from High damaging weapons such as axes and blunt weapons, while spears that are made for support should still keep it.

So lets see how it ends up. 2h still have the superior animation while polearms have polestun.

It was fun today when someone hit me once with a fast spear at which time I was stun locked, just hit consecutively, doesn't matter if a weapon has shitty damage when the speed rating is so high you get locked in a sort of force field of doom.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.
