Giev full wipe now!

[Swaggart]

I'm kind of trying to practice my blocking on duel server during recent days... If I do not scavenge field for loomed stuff - I usually fail to kill anyone, while with MW... IDK, either it's luck, or guys start to die in front of me. It's usually like this - I have to hit 4-6 times, wile I get 2shottet almost always (those stats involve 2h's mostly, so... yeah, subjective  )

Damage is not just about landing a swing. If you and your opponent are moving away from each other and you land a hit, you will do minimal damage. On the contrary, if you're both running into each other and one lands a hit like a trust from something with a lot of pierce damage, you can get 1 shot easily. Footwork is probably the most important part about dealing damage, and I'd say you ran into a more experienced opponent that knew his footwork. That or a high str character.

With 2H weapons, a MW Danish will give you an extra 3c damage to swings, not even 10%, hardly a balance breaker.

They are of no significance, when everyone has them. Try fighting a guy in +3 armor set and +3 weapons with an unloomed 1h, feel the disadvantage as you glance/do little damage again and again, except for perfect hits to face.

Although they may be of no significance then why does my previously unloomed military cleaver do exceptional damage. Currently its +1 but thats only been for maybe a week, before that when i was using it i was killing people in +3 milanese in about 3 hits....even general medium armour im one or two hitting.

Heirlooms do help your survive a wee bit longer but even then if your opponent is:

a) A good blocker
b) Knows melee inside out
c) Knows where to hit and with which swings
d) is a good shot with ranged

Then you basically stand no chance loomed or unloomed. Heirlooms do not make a player skilled, players with unloomed items can still thrash players that are loomed armour crutches.

fuck off from my looms
I don't really care then some newbies have no chance with me
I earned everything myself and I will defend that.

Finally you said something worthwhile bobby.

Theres something wrong with you, if you want to throw away hours of game play time, for those who have put nothing into the game

wizzle wozzle

Currently I'm hating cmp so much, not because of wipe but because he won't say (for realz) will there be wipe and when.

They don't want to say anything because they like to read our whiny comments.
I am shure there will not be any whipe except strategus,if there is going to be whipe they would told us or confirmed this.

[Penitent]

Well, its true this is a beta.  It's not a matter of if, but when.

I say delay it.   We should all know it is an inevitability though.

A beta this old is a bit of joke. Like Google selling beta email services to business users.

I can see that point as well.

There are several programs that never made it beyond the Beta state, even though they are constantly updated. Its just a name...

I'm an average player (gen6) and i have no problem to kill full heirloomed knights. I don't think loomed item are OP, I just use my brain +3

[The_Bloody_Nine]

funny thread.

[Lichen]

What i'd love is if Heirlooms were to lose all their stat bonuses and would only get some sort of fancier model, like in the final boss's heirloom pack. That'd solve the problem (let's face it, heirlooms added a grind element, whilst screwing over balance) without screwing over high gens too much, wouldn't it?

That would be acceptable to me. Maybe also just give a small weight reduction (or weight increase for weapon) on the first loom. A +1 armor/damage on the second and on the third the look finally is changed as well.

i think they should reset peoples gold , so to balance out game , some players have amassed millions others have only a few k. set people to equal footing give everyone something like 25k. no need to lose looms or anything.

Great idea. Ask for a reset every month to keep things 'equal'.  Much easier than actually having to put effort in to the game.

Looms are not at all that insignificant.

Let's see what my looms give me.

3c damage, 2p damage, 1 weapon speed, 3 head armor, 10 body armor and 5 leg armor.

+9% damage, +9% damage, +1% speed, +6% protection, +18% protection, +13% protection. Looms make me about 10% better across the board.

An extra point in IF or PS pretty well compensates against any loomed 'monster'. Unloomed guy can get 9PS instead of 8.

[Tovi]

Or give the autoblock ability under gen 5...

[Gawin]

if theres a wipe there will be a massive reduction of players (including me) and people who dont have time to grind from gen 1
