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
cool story bro

I also think that the Danish is slightly slower than the German, but I dont really care tbh as I use a gs :D

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.
You can be all sarcastic about it, but why do I see this shit

Masterwork German Greatsword      1100000

Masterwork Danish Greatsword      940000

That and about a dozen Danish offers. Statistically I'd pick a Danish over a German anyday, but the German does feel faster.

great, so when i troll a serious thread i get muted. Yet paul mocks us danish users with his trolling and nothing happens? This seems like the kind of thing that would make glenn beck mad.

That's because new 2h players see the danish at the very bottom of the equipment list and instantly assume its the best weapon. Thats what i did when i was new... And then later on they realize that the stats aren't everything and they'd like try the coolest looking weapon in the game - german greatsword  :mrgreen:.

The danish is cheaper not because its a worse weapon, but because it has the best stats, everyone looms it. This makes the supply of danish much higher than the german.

Just wanted to reraise attention to this issue. Paul open your eyes, a good player like you should be able to notice the difference, cause its there. Please fix it somehow, cause I'd hate to have to trade this weapon +150k for another 2h weapon that I think is statistically inferior, just because somehow the Danish is slower than its 92 speed rating.

I was using a MW German for a few days and just now switched to MW Danish. I don't see the difference.

It's been long since I've compared the Danish GS to the German but in comparison to the normal GS I've noticed a lack of fluidness that seems more prominent than the 1 speed difference would warrant.

Sometimes wep stats 'feels' more like pointers, you need to hold and feel the weapon yourself to have a clear impression of its physics.

Even so, Danish GS seems balanced; make it faster and it would just become ridiculous.

Bah, the Germanic Peoples all wandered down from Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia; Urist, I am your father.

The thing is, there is no 1 speed difference, they have the same speedrating, the Danish and German, but in my experience, and others agree, the Danish is slower.

As I wrote I was talking about normal GS when I mentioned the 1 speed difference.

Like other's have said, it's a pure feeling. Because the German looks thinner and thus lighter and faster, you start believing in it.

As I have owned both at the same time once, and owned them on multiple occassions, including a German GS right now, I can safely say this is all an imagination. I thought it first too, untill I tested out the difference. You'd be surprised how our minds can deceive us.
Don't mind the fish.
