If this is implemented I hope you'll finally remove blocking while kicking as wel. That would at least make it a high risk/high reward, rather than the high reward, not much risk at all, that kicking is now.

Yeah, I might do that.

Sounds like it would be extremely punitive to accomplished pole kickers.

If you nerf facehugging and S keying and pokes, what are we suppose to do, stand still 3 ft apart and just take turns swinging and blocking?

That's the point of this game, if you haven't noticed.

Thats what this game is becoming, a game with no depth or posibilities, only limits.

Couldent agree more, i never used that trick. Such a cheap way of getting past people's blocks in my opinion.

Edit: Fuck double post -.-, my mistake!

There is absolutely no depth if the game is played that way. Blocking would be trivially easy.

Thats what this game is becoming, a game with no depth or posibilities, only limits.

That's why we need the stamina bar. Enable every trick in the book (spinthrust, hiltslash, kicks, spam, feints, holds, lolstab, shield bash, etc), just limit them with a stamina mechanic. If you want to beat that super skilled player, bust out all your tricks, but be prepared to be killed by a peasant afterwards because you are so exhausted.

Stamina bar would also open up new tactics, like playing defensively to wear your opponent out, faking fatigue then going berserk, peasants could be actually be useful by making top players waste stamina so their teammates could get the kill, etc.

Why nerf individual skill?

Why nerf individual skill?

If anything, stamina would enhance individual skill, since stamina management becomes yet another skill to master. If you ever played Dark Age of Camelot back in the day, it had an endurance bar, and there were all kinds of interesting tactics to make your opponent waste endurance while conserving yours for the decisive moment. Not the same genre of game, but my point remains.

The mauler that spams 100 overheads in a row isn't tapping into some advanced individual skill. Make him decide how to most efficiently expend his energy, and you start to separate the wheat from the chaff.

It would eliminate the ability of a single player to kill a lot of enemies in a short period of time. I think that is something that should be encouraged.

I would much rather see depth added by enabling more tricks in the same vein as hiltslashing, spingstabs, etc. A lot more. Enough that it would take years for players to polish all of them to the degree we see now.
