RIP Dedicated throwing

[Seawied]

Neck beards are only fashionable if your name is Joe Thornton.

Thanks for the nice information on beards, Gorath. Now when I see someone with that retarded looking beard style I can think to myself "ahh, and there we have the famous neck beard, an interesting species isnt it?"

Most welcome.  I've found it's nice to have a handy learning aid for plebs on the internet, since like most things the term "neckbeard" has bridged the barrier into "trendy" vernacular insults where it is used often and incorrectly.  Most of the time people accused of having a "neckbeard" simply have a full beard, though I attribute this mostly to jealousy by smooth skinned boys lacking in the testosterone required to grow one.

Oh they're allowed.  As long as they're complete feeble-armed weakling pieces of vile shit befitting the nature of their playstyle.

in next item patch:
all throwing items = 1 slot
darts = 6 ammo
axes = 3 ammo
javs, jarids = 3 ammo
throwing spear = 4 ammo (lower accuracy and damage than jarid)
accuracies reworked, improved on most weapons.
throwing lances removed.

disclaimer: this is not final. anything can still change.

Any news on this? You said that anything can still change but this is the only bit of news we've heard in a while now.

I think these changes would tip the scale back a bit, but not really fix the problem. Imo the real problem is the reduction in wpf due to Power Throw. If that was fixed the realistic amount of ammo is just fine I think. With the ability to carry 12 jarids or 16 throwing spears I think the spam will be a bit too high. I can see the point where it says accuracies will be improved, but I think its better to just remove the power throw wpf penalty, so that throwers get better as they level, instead of getting more damage but less accuracy as they level.

Bit late to the thread I know...

slots where fine.... 1 slot will make people spam them hard...  6 jarids and a 2 hander... 9 jarids and a 2 hander/1hander,   6 jarids 1hander sheild.....
just up the ammo and damg, and all is fixed

I agree, Javs, Jarids and Spears SHOULD be 2 slot but have more ammo, this would be the easiest way to make sure hybrids don't have too much ammo, while dedicated throwers have enough.

For example if you made Javs, and Jarids 5 for 2 slots, and Spears 6 for 2 slots, that would be okay.

The problems with accuracy, damage and wpf requirement are far bigger though.

Minimal wpf ... would that mean that the wpf req is gone?

Masterwork Arbalest with Masterwork Steel Bolts already do that job and with longer range, greater accuracy and way more ammo.

Railguns always had really low ammo.  They're railguns.  lol

Those are sniper rifles.  Slight difference

[Fasader]

that was just a reply to whoever said they barely beat sniper at 10 PT

minimal wpf means 13 wpf per PT

He said that they decided not to remove them. Didn't he? I think your spears are safe.
