Haha, it's like argueing with a hardcore creationist.
Yep, there is no talking sense into Tydeus.
Jona, I'm not sure if Paul was referring to you or to Tydeus...just thought I'd put that out there...it's kinda ambiguous.
Oh, and Paul - I will put this in a spoiler because it's long
Many modern day Christians actually believe that the universe was created just the same way that scientific research indicates (rapid expansion of pure energy from a singularity of time/space "big bang", formation of stars and galaxies from hydrogen and dust, formation of planets and the evolution of life forms on the earth and most likely other planets throughout the universe, and progression of those life forms into higher forms like us) - they just believe that there is an external entity responsible for this manifestation and it's incredddddddibly exact parameters which if were even one part in a quintillion (big big number) different than they are, our universe and our prime planet would not exist. In fact, Genesis, when translated from the original Hebrew and explained by an instructed theologist, has no inconsistencies with the scientific research that has been found - it is just a much simplified and abbreviated version (which makes sense since the Bible wasn't meant to be a scientific document, it is meant to explain whom that entity is, and it's relation with us). As for Catholicism, I cannot speak for that - it's so unbiblical anyhow that it's funny. If you are interested I can explain more, but just wanted to put that out there. Thanks for reading. Oh, and I take no offense to your comment - hardcore creationists can be silly
Side note : Not EVERYONE uses 2h because its "OP and easy". Many, like myself, use it because we like swords. I like all medieval weaponry and armor (love everything medieval actually) but especially swords. There is something I really like about them and think their form is beautiful - in fact I own a custom forged knightly arming sword (full tang, high carbon steel, sharpened...its a beauty) (Yes, it's actually a 1h sword, but I am going to get a 2h one soon also
)
I'd play 2h if it sucked, and if it was super hard mode in this game. I like 1h/shield, and I like polearms, but even if they got more "OP" than 2h I would still play 2h.
Also, not everyone thinks they are some hero because they use 2h. Historically, knights started using 2h weapons when armor got stronger, because they felt they could now do without the shield and therefore opt for a 2h weapon with more damage and reach.
If that makes me gay or a noob or whatever other shit you guys like to spew then so be it...I play this game because it's fun and it's the only game where I can enter into melee medieval combat with people that isn't just hacking - not to impress a bunch of college (or often younger) kids with my leet skillz, no offense.
Here's the point : I understand that you feel theres injustice going on with 2h and that you should beat everyone who uses one cause they are all noobs, but just try to relax and discuss the matter in an informed and rational manner, otherwise no one who has the power to change anything is going to listen.Also, you are usually a decent guy (from what I can tell).
Now, you may not give a crap what I have to say on the matter...but if you have read thus far, thanks for your time.
