Strange slowness of the Danish Greatsword

[Teeth]

I own a MW Danish Greatsword, still I like picking up weapons and trying out different stuff. I get the idea that the Danish Greatsword is slower than the German Greatsword. Both are the same speed, German has 1 less length. Not sure if that makes a difference

Stats wise I'd pick the Danish Greatsword as the better of the two any day, but ingame, the German is better cause it seems to be faster. This slower feel to the weapon is probably also the reason that the marketplace is filled to the brim with people trying to get rid of their Danish.

I would like to hear other players experiences with this and if people agree with me I would like to know why it is slower and if it will/can be fixed. Maybe someone could fraps it and play it in uber slowmo to compare.

I have noticed this as well and already traded away my MW Danish... would be nice to get some tests done on it

I don't notice any difference :/.

I think this is just the "giraffe" syndrome. Giraffes look like they are moving slower then they really are due to how long their legs are, when in actuality they are running pretty fast.

I think the Danish just looks slower because the tip is farther away from you then the German.

was surprised that someone traded me a mw danish considering its been like the most cookie cutter weapon for a while since it has best 2h stats.

but yeah I can tell you that swings feel slower than long hafted blade swings, but that is polearm vs 2h I guess.

and I have been repeatively shocked ingame at being spammed (ie I block then swing but thier 2nd swing hits first) by much slower weapons, I think part of this is just me not having played much for a while.

but really 93 speed spammed by 86 speed scythe and flamberge, surely thats some exploit on turn swing and very long weapons.

holy shit, i have actually noticed this too, but i just put it down to my diseased brain

Noticed this as well, not sure if it's really the speed, but I believe this to be the weapon model fault.

For example German Greatsword attack "look" faster because it has a thiner blade.

That's my explanation, atleast.

As soon as I figure out how, I will compare shit with slowmowed fraps footage.

To amplify the German superiority above anything Danish we added a secret swing speed decrease flag to the Danish. It's at 87.96% speed compared to pre-stealth patch.

Same with Great long axe, it needs a buff!

ALL im noticing is that everyone uses 2h greatswords, even though they didnt even existed in true medieval setting

Neither did anything above transitional armour, and even that is pushing it into the age of gunpowder.

Define medieval times, its a period which has no set boundaries.

How can you notice that since you quit c-RPG?

Transitional armour and corazinas are used very frequently in 14th century, while gratswords of lenght like those in crpg are were appearing in late 15th
