Possible new feature: different hilt/blade damage

[Vodner]

While this is a cool idea, it would promote rolling high-ath builds for the sole purpose of backpedalling, so that you can keep the enemy near the tip of your weapon. That is one of the least interesting melee playstyles.

Also, this would largely make 'quick' hits - hits early in the animation and close to the opponent - nonviable, which would further slow combat.

Yes, but the blade is closer to you so you can use more force?????????

I'd say get back to the physics course for starters...

[Christo]

Good idea, but yay, another direct polearm nerf u_u

Hope you guys will balance it out for 2h and other stuff too, they should deal less damage when closer to the hilt as well.

How in the world can you use more force? Ever try using a lever? ;)

I guess Xant is a guy who grabs a hammer as close as possible to the metal head cuz he can use more force that way...

And even telling Vibe to use his brain... kinda made my day

[gazda]

nonono, You're misunderstanding what the capabilities of this are. This isn't some type of nerf to poles or axes. it is a rebalancing, the axe head will do more damage, the haft will do less but blunt..
and it goes for all weapons

[Dezilagel]

That's very cool

If it's well implemented this could be a really cool feature and offer up tons of possibilities for weapon balancing/different styles of play.


However, if you're trying for this...

Hopefully this will influence all gameplay and move it towards a rock-scissors-paper-ranged-cav style of play like Joker mentioned.

(which the turnnerf seems to suggest  )

Can't you tell us so that there's ample time to save the women and children?

Not sure how the damage works, but this is awsome. Once again crpg surpasses native.
