Nerf shield effective area!

[Snoozer]

I'd like to see the force field get removed, but only if they added a way so u could move ur shield. As it is right now u can basically only move it up or down and u have to turn ur whole body to the side if u want to block that way.

thats been brought up before im still for it it would be nice training wheels for beginners

i think the way it goes if you blocked the correct way with a shield you got normal damage but if you blocked wrong you got slightly more damage

fuck i think that was over a year ago

The force field is shit unless you go all out kinngrimm. With 6 shield skill I often get shot by ranged I'm facing.

I thought 6 shield and a MP Huscarl would help against being shot.
I thought wrong.

Force-field shields eat up arrows on horseback, but I always felt that manually blocking a melee weapon gave more of a force-field effect from horse than a shield did.

Yeah, I'm currently 2h cav right now and it's NOT the shield giving you a forcefield when on horse, it's blocking on horseback in general. Same as you can manually block a right or left swing from behind, you can block stabs, overheads and both swings from almost all around you when on a horse. Even more so when not using a shield.

1H has ridicule right swing bonus and arab sword is way longer in the end than longsword and reaction time is indiffrent because shielder can counterratack even a katana, and pole users get spammed to death. 1H is OP. Not saying that 2h isn't...

Extract from a xkcd mouseover-text :

Fun game: try to post a YouTube comment so stupid that people realize you must be joking.  (Hint: this is impossible)

I think you may have succeeded.

The center of the shield blocks more damage than the rim.

where is kinngrim? without him we can not discuss the forceshield matter!

[Fuma Kotaro]

Kinngrimm is a force shield

[Tigero]

If this cannot be done, then atleast remove bucker, theres nothing more annoying than aiming for the legs with a pike-like weapon and get blocked magically.

Look left, young men. Embrace it

With the new client shield force field has been nerfed or is not working properly. Either way shit goes through and around your blocks now must easier than before. I have been standing still blocking with 5 shield and a huscarl and had people with a Great Long Axe swing at me from the front and kill me. Broken or nerfed

If you get slightly above the shield, ranged practically ignores it.
