Good patch, now fix old issues

[Nasturtium]

I am happy with the new patch, great job, but don't uncork the champagne yet.

 I am sick to death of the polearm issues, especially the no awlpike, pike on horseback thing (the fact that the game lets you do it)

Dont read this:

I have played awlpike, pike, long pointy stick, for as long as I can remember and I am tired of being pigeonholed. First they took away my sheathe, so I cant ride a horsie or operate a xbow without dropping my primary weapon, then they took away my shield, so my beloved hoplite is silly (You can swing a ashwood pike and heavy lance 1handed, but the short awlpike breaks your wrists?)

  I never really whine about this kind of stuff, everyone gets nerfed eventually, but when it becomes a suspension of disbelief (IE: some weapons you cant sheathe even though they are smaller then others you can. Or some weapons can't be used with shield even though they are smaller and lighter than others that can) it smells of a poorly thought out solution. Why not nerf the speed/damage of the awlpike instead of getting rid of the hoplites weapon? Why not make it so the long awl/bamboo spear etc. cant be swung on horseback, or can only be swung like a hafted blade for blunt damage?

 Someone needs to draw me a graph of wrist strength and carry-shit-on-back ability in calradria, since I am so confused.

  And before you say "it was just too good and OP go suck dick" at least tell me why you sodomize yourself with a hairbrush during commercial breaks of jersey shore.

 What are some other issues you fine folk would like seen to?

this is a videogame, balance is more important than realism. awlpike+shield was removed because it was too good, nice with a shield and even nicer without

 Right, but why was it removed instead of nerfed. I rarely saw people using it since ats went byebye. Maybe its the old disconnect between Eu and Na playstyles. More often than not, some trend that EU players abuse will be nerfed and us NA folks will be like

NO! Use spoiler tags. If you had bothered to read the post, you would know its just a good old fashion ragepost and not just about hoplites.

hoplites... meh who cares.

You know, all the hoplites. You never answered me about the hairbrush.
