Hmm...

I think this is spiraling has spiraled out of control.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Be witty!  Or be ridiculed!

Wow! Nobody could possible endure being ridiculed by an utter retard like you, who doesn't even know what satire is.

(And staying true to every retard's M.O, only the posts agreeing with the retard are "intelligent")
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

And remember Devs!  If u want people to be BORED with the game, keep on nerfing even already low end items!  That way only when someone is lvl 35 and all loomed can they really have fun!

OH... and I JUST now noticed.... even when you loom it 3 times to get it to MIGHTY... it STILL has 98 speed?  Wow.  S.T.U.P.I.D.  Some Dev really WAS mad about gett'n slapped in the face by it.

May I make a suggestion to Devs? UNNERF IT.  Period.
At the least make it where when u loom it it can be 99 speed again, tho that would still rob levelers of a fun weapon (which has never been OP).  Or restore the speed and remove 1 point of damage.  Or restore it and just up the price some...  it is already more expensive than its one handed equivalent tho...  Anything is too much of a nerf, the stats are not incredibly-uber-rock-the-boards-top-score-users-dominate anyway.

Laughed, love your writing.

also, maybe -2 dmg, -1 speed and - x weight was a bit too much

but I must point out the fact, practice longsword has no knockdown (or maybe it's a sneaky one...)


also, the mace not alone on the no speed adding when loomed goedendag got it too and that's the true problem...

BUFF goedendag!
and de-nerf a bit mace
BUFF goedendag!
So the new response to ranged ragers is not "get a shield", it is "learn to chamber ranged nub!"

Yeah goed is fun, but a bit slow to be real handy.  If it at least had a +1 speed when loomed that would be nice.  But DEVs fear such things...  They have nightmares of embarassing moments getting beat'n down by peasants...

I agree with isatis's point:
BUFF goedendag!  DE-NERF the mace!

As for my writing... venomous humor is memorable & entertaining (even if so many juvenile trolls don't get it).  Speaking of which, I have a spoof to write:


I was hum-drumming along on the server just yesterday.  Borred out of my skull playing my 2H because I had no 2h mace to turn to for fun (sniff).  When low and behold I found reason to be indignant and furious all over again.  I was beaten, shamelessly and cruelly smacked down... by of all things... a "Practice Longsword".   :shock:

As I perished brutally under the clubbing I received, I clicked and watched this player proceed to have a 6 kill streak in one round.  Surely, I thought to my most humbled and humiliated self, SURELY this weapon is more deserving of a nerf than the lowly 2h mace.  THIS weapon, the Practice Sword, is WAY longer than the mace.  It is a wopping 117 length!  For a cheap weapon, that is SURELY OP.  AND it is only 1.5 weight and speed 94?  Are you kidding me?  That thing zips around like a hot knife through butter! Not only that but it is ONLY 2 slots???  Come on!!!  It needs to be three slots for sure.  And to top it all off, it is only 239 gold... so that it costs nothing to repair.  Thats thousands less than the mace!  And yet... here was this fully armored guy running around dominating the game with it!?!?!  And, he is PROOF that the Practice Longsword has knockdown!  Everyone he hit got knocked down! (cough)

Please consider Exhibit A, where Sir_Ricardito_stupidnamesalot (upper right side of the list) has 6 kills brutally obtained in one uber round.

I therefore submit my plea to the higher powers!  If there is any sense of decency within you, you MUST nerf this internally unbalanced weapon. Its stats are unfair compared to other two-handed weapons.  It is longer and lighter, and way more effective than it should be! (Give me a minute... I think I can work up a tear... yes.  Here, I caught it on camera for you.  Isn't that sooo pitiful???)  Who can resist this powerful logic and emotional appeal to nerf this weapon?!?

I've never been an archer or ranged player, but when I was looking at making an archer or xbow build the obvious choice to use would be the 2h mace.  It's the only 1 slot 2h'er, has knockdown, does good damage, and is pretty fast.  Not to mention then you have the option of picking up a 2 slot 2h'ed weapon and dominate. 

I personally don't think they should have a 1 slot 2handed weapon.  If you want a 1 slot weapon, use 1h'ers.

But I'm not a big fan of nerfs, so I'd be a hypocrite to suggest what I feel, that they should have made this a 2 slot weapon like every other 2h'er.  But I say revert the ranged nerf, and let things be for a while, they are pretty well balanced as is.

Well, everyone has different feelings on the matter.  No doubt.  But which would you prefer?  A ranged guy with a weapon he feels confident in at least TRYING to use in melee (but which is terrible terribly short) or a ranged with just some weapon he really doesn't want to use at all (and so he runs away more)?  I know we all love seeing those archers run away (cough).

Just on a practical level and fun level, a low level weapon has been made weaker.... which is really dumb.  As I've stated... oh.... 1000 times?  (Eventually you will see it my way! muahahah!)  It never did dominate the scoreboard before... so what if it was better than other low level weapons?  Short spear is too, and practice longsword... shall we just squelch and squish, stomp and strangle any low level weapon that is "good" for its level?  All that does is give hybrids, ranged, low level players fewer options to enjoy.  And it gives higher level players less variety to choose from.  I admit, I get bored with just my big 2h sword.  Sometimes I used to just grab that old mace for the challenge and fun.  Now, I'm too sick of the difference I don't want to touch it.  It just is not enjoyable like it was.  Not that I ever got 40-50 kills with it anyway... (herp derp).

UNERF THE MACE! UNNERF THE MACE!

OBITUARY 1-31-12

This day, we memorialize the passing of a legend.  Most of us have played with him online.  Many have had their egos destroyed and as well as their KD ratio stymied.  It is a bitter sweet commemoration, in knowing that while we will no longer have to endure face smashing humiliation, yet... we will miss his intimidating build.

Of whom do I speak?  Why Silveredge of course.
(click to show/hide)
Why?  He has posted his Mighty Mace on the market and is looking for a MW Heavy Bastardsword instead.  Ahhh... it brings tears to my eyes.  (sniff)  Can you imagine seeing him without that mace?  It just doesn't seem right.  Rounding the corner... seeing him in his burnt orange/red armor... carrying that crossbow and black mace.  But it is quite understandable... considering what has happened.

This is not unlike others I know who have played less since the demise of the mace.  Some were feared and respected... and now... there is a void in our cRpg lives.  A vast emptiness that has not been filled, and may well never be.  (sniff)

Let us then remember these esteemed mace wielders.  May their maces find happy homes.  When they are brought out again, may it be with fond memories... free from the burden of nerfs and chains of cry babies.  Perhaps one day, they can again sparkle in the sunlight, and zip into someones face with devastating effect.  Until then... we wish stomach aches and regret up the Eviiiiiiiilllll Dev(s) who have brought about this sad time.  May they moan with regret and sorrow like this cat:

And as the following tomb marker indicates... beware of the Dev's for...
