NA gets Patch

[Visconti]

I just want to know why they nerfed the overheads as well? I never had a problem with people turning with overheads, i didnt see anyone complaining about it on the forums. It was already the slowest swing out of all 4 attack directions. Now, it feels like i only have 2 viable swings, which are the side swings. If the enemy is constantly running to your sides, its impossible to land an overhead or a stab, and if you do get a stab off, its easy for them to block so you just get weapon stunned. Melee feels incredibly simple and awkward atm, wish the devs would think some of these things through before drastically changing such core mechanics in the game.

Imagine how 2directional users feel.

I like this change to polearms =D, the stab sweet spot adjustment is very nice.

[Mechanix]

When polestun is removed..

God help us all.

Because the devs don't know how to fix turn speed without fucking up everything.

I think it should be reduced a bit, and a bit more for overheads, sound concept, a bit awkward implementation, overheads are too shitty right now

[Leshma]

So... are NA servers shutting down or not? Are you all leaving cRPG? Or should I ask the same question a week later when you get used to new situation?

[Malaclypse]

Seems really easy to dodge polearm overheads now.

[Mechanix]

Yes, overhead is basically useless because you can just move to the sides and the speed reduction makes it impossible to follow.

Thrust is fine, but I've noticed ever since the patch that I rarely overhead, if ever.
I was on the duel server for a little over an hour and someone pointed out that I never overhead. The attack is basically a deathwish since the patch.

Same with stabs, you either miss, glance, or they block and you get stunned. As i said, 2 viable attack directions in a fight since the patch

[Smoothrich]

i don't mind the thrust being nerfed a bit in 1 vs 1s, though its funny to go on duel and see people hopelessly thrusting at each other, i think the thrust has a LOT of utlity on 2handers and polearms in battle as a feint combo or a 2hander reach control/gank/anti cav, still has a lot of viability

the overhead is what i used the most with 2 handers, to avoid team hits in close quarters and hit lots of heavy damage, and found it pretty shitty to use, i think the overhead radius should go up to 180 instead of 90, and stabs go to maybe 120?  or be left alone.  my 2 cents

thats what they are trying to do duh

melee combat is slow and predictable.  Might as well have everybody just stand still and fight...
