Thread is fail. No dev giveafuck about your poll.
To address an issue with this thread: Currently, Polearms are slightly less obscenely overpowered than they were, because of polestun removal. I can still spinstab, 360 sideswing, all that jazz with no problem.
Cav is not OP. They pay more upkeep, and are more effective. In an open field vs an archer or 1hander, sure cav has advantage. If it did not, WTF would be the point. End of cav discussion.
2handed...2handers are horribly overpowered, from their 2 slot sheathable weapons. (Best polearms are 3 slot, unsheathable, or 3 slots AND unsheathable, best bows are also 3 slot <Rusbow + arrows = 3 slots, cause bow without arrows is NOT a weapon>, best 1handers are slower than 2handers or stupidly short.)
So, as a 2hander, I can bring my main weapon, which due to turkish oversight when making the game, is faster than 1handers, since speed at pivot point does NOT equal speed at radial point. With this incredibly powerful and fast weapon, straight out of Final Fantasy or some Crapanese animation, I can bring....a shield, so I dont get shot, with a shortsword or dagger incase I want to mock a newb, or....a crossbow and bolts, and be more accurate than a non-agistacked archer, or...a bamboo spear, to ENSURE I dont get lanced from any angle...WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CARRYING THE MOST EFFECTIVE MELEE WEAPONS IN THE GAME.
WTF.
Just
WTF.
The Danish and German need a realism buff. They need to be unbalanced, unable to block, 10 points slower, and unsheathable. THEN they might be representative of something used IRL at some point in human history. Currently they are straight out of Manga wetdreams. Flamberge also is a WTF weapon, noone is going to block with that. Noone alive today has steel wristbones bound in carbonfibre, so Im gonna asume noone 400 years ago did either.
As to the claymore...the one ingame is a "tad" oversized, since a claymore is just a broadsword, or bastard sword.
So, tbh, if you think cav is dangerous, your really need to use your brain, sure when 2 of them catch you alone maybe they get you, but a gank is a gank. It would also be stupid if they payed more for the horse and DIDNT get an advantage. But mid battle: They are loud *sure not loud enough, but still easily audible, except that stupidly fail map "Waning Cold" I believe its called*, they are easy to hit with ranged weapons, they are easy to spot, and are very fragile in the legs.
So lock this thread, and start a new one titled: How underaged, undereducated fans of Hollywood and Japanese animations have blown our realistic perseptions of what a balanced game is out the window, all due to massive weapons.
ALSO: WHY o WHY was 1handed nerfed? Stupid "Spin nerf" didnt affect my polespam, only slowed my 2handed spinlolstab down a tiny amount, but absolutely RAPED 1handed gameplay unless you are a leftswing-with-a-pick-or-spammitar tard.
Time has come for balance. Not "The opinions of balance-team" or "The result of a failpoll", but balance on what is obvious from the stats of the weapons, the limitations of the engine, and the fact that EVERYONE who wants an accurate idea of how a weapon will perform compares it to 2handed greatswords.
