I haven't been able to find a recent 2h balance thread, so I'll use the opportunity to write my suggestion regarding 2h balance: since the replacement of stab for polearms' has never been generally accepted, how about replacing the other attacks with polearms'? (shorter reach for left swing and overhead)

Since the most common complaint are the animations, I think that would be a proper change. As a pure 2h for most of my playtime, I agree that 2h animations are extremely easy and "exploitable".

You are my hero ... well the 2H stab should be like in polearm mode ... that would be great, cause its the most retarded thing. The Sideswings can stay how they are now.
And its not even realistic ....with that much dmg

The new shields are still very op. The hand pavise is till too strong or fast. Why would anyone use the elite cav shield or the heavy round shield anymore? You can't even use the heavy round shield on horseback!

I love you for nerfing cav chadz <3

Whoever complains about his loomed horse now being worthless should please grab hs own cock, pull it between the legs, stick it in his butt, and fuck himself. Horses are not meant to make your kills, you are.

Because these 2 shields look awesome and hand pavise looks like shit?  I, for one, will use heavy board shield no matter what

[Prpavi]

the game is laggy and increasingly unplayble.

Edit: can someone explain me what a ballista is? I know, it's a giant crossbow siege machine, smartasses. I mean where can I see what it does? Is it one of those strategus thingies I never saw due to my animosity towards strat?

But I like the changes so far, but yeah its laggy..

Hand Pavise is about 8% more durable than the Knightly Heater against normal cut weapons, and significantly more so against shield breakers and pierce/blunt. It also weighs 1 kg less. Same size/speed.

However, Hand Pavise looks like a roofing tile whereas Knightly Heater is heraldic and looks boss. Is that worth the stat penalty? At least it's close enough now that folks could go one way or another, whereas before the Hand Pavise was 2X as good, so it wasn't even a choice.

heavy round shield looks like thick wood with metal rim. hand pavise looks like something a child made from the box the tv came in. how can it be better?

Thanks, but is this the cRPG-Ballista, and how it is used? Part of the map or deployable or what?

While on siege, perhaps a static ballista could be fixed. But on strat or battle having to construct one just like the catapult or siege tower would be a nice way to get new tactics into the game. Like having two separate (or one) ballista part + the ballista arrows (3 slots) to deploy one, at a hill or on a wall.

All I can an say is I am glad I didnt buy into that new game crap.If they are going to bait you with a weapon that you think you can keep your build alive with then nerf it to be pretty much the same as knightly arming sword but 2000 more in cost and not refund looms spent in it after said nerf well I guess I am the idiot but hey will be an idiot with my money(my real life money) still in my pocket.
They need to make some better 0 slot shields if they arent going to readjust for 1h/shield xbow use.

So you just went straight ahead and loomed it? You couldn't see that it obviously wasn't going to stay 0 slot?!
You could see all the other 0 slot swords were short swords. how couldn't you see it coming?

And no, no 0 slot shields. Cos then xbow shields will be able to take maces or sickles which means they get pierce at long range and at close range. The point of making SWORDS 0 slot, is that it's to limit the amount of damage they can do

[Phew]

Ash, just trade your loomed Spathion for a Nordic Short War Sword or Broad Short Sword, both ungodly good 0-slot weapons. Rule of thumb for future new items; if it's obviously OP, don't loom it unless you are OK with the impending nerfs.
