This double hit business

[Sable Keech]

Its absolute knob cheese.

[Miwiw]

It's funny and weird.

was about starting a topic about it:

since the update today it seems like this:

If two enemies slashing at each other at almost the same time, both will hit. Even if 1 gets hit first. Normally the swing of the one getting hit first would be interupted. Same for hits on horse.

Is this intended? Don't know what I should think of it. First off I thought its bad because it feels less controlled and if swinging blindly gets more hits in. Then again trying to outspam someone is now more risky because even if you hit first he will hit you back. Please enlighten...

was there a patch today??

[Falka]

I don't like it, died 3 times already this way

only server side, only Eu1 it seems.

[Leshma]

Yeah, noticed this as well. Killed few people because of it and was wtf.

[Duckzern]

I have seen some hilarious shit with horses clashing into each other, and both riders dying.

Overall I still don't know what to make of it...

so this is kind of a polearm nerf? if i stab the enemy first because my weapon is longer, he can still kill me?

It is also a 2h stab against 1h cav nerf if you narrow it down like that.

general notice: It is amazing how you guys at the one hand allways qq about how the devs are nerfing too much and on the other hand are not even capable of grasping gameplay changes in other categories than class-related nerfs. Nothing personal no rules, just a thing I noticed several times on these forums.

This is a dispicable nerf to skill... Being just a tad faster, having slightly better footwork so your hit lands first... Totally useless now since you'll get hit now anyway 

[Lizard_man]

I like it...

[Miley]

So if you hit someone first, they can hit you back right then as well?

It's going to favor players with knockdown weapons a lot, especially great mauls. Since getting that 1 hit in is much easier(with the cost of your own hp), and getting your opponent knocked down for that hit + kick + another hit combo. And great mauls, only thing to counter their overhead is to spam... sadly now you'll get your brains smashed in anyway.

On the other hand, this adds a lot more realisim.

So u can hit someone.... after getting hit? Am i understanding this correctly, since that sounds retarded .
