The gameplay would turn into 36str, glaive full plate s key (more so than it already is now)
I don't see how that can possibly nerf short weapons. Short weapons are penalized by movement, because they have the shortest reach, which means they are the ones being outreached due to people escaping by sidestepping. They are also the ones that glance on sidestepping facehuggers, because 1h animations are shit. A sidestepping nerf would make them actually benefit from their speed, being able to do more than one or zero feints when they have an opening, before the enemy goes out of reach again.
What does this even mean, the way it's coming across is you not being able to beat people who are good, so you want the game to degenerate into even more of a block attack boring slog than it already is in duels.
It does mean that I prefer a solid gameplay with a game engine that was made with it in mind rather than using unintended and random quirks of said engine. In warband, player collisions are
shit, weapon momentum physics are
shit. Using the fact that these are shit can mean being a good player to you, to me it only means you can break the engine to get cheap kills. I beat so-called "good" players only using the actual game mechanics rather than the repetitive lame-ass cheap-and-quick-kill tricks they will always try to perform, who is better ? They are breaking the gameplay. They are ruining it, bringing the days of spamfests back. Even worse, you can see new players imitating them, going full str running all over the place swinging their big weapons and not blocking even once.
I do not deny that duels made out of feints, chambers and holds, although I'm fine only using that, do tend to become too long. But random spam tricks are certainly not a good replacement for a skillbased gameplay. You can spam and move around, I can spam and move around, there is nothing difficult with that given the right build and equipment, the winner will be the luckiest.
Also, please downvote me more for openly stating my opinion. A king listens to his subjects.
