If your still releasing your block just before the sound, your a victim in EU fights. Im pretty sure you must be NA from the way you type on here. NA players might one day catch us, but we are still far far ahead, the guy you are fighting is blocking by instinct: 2 holds, dead. Please, if you are NA, I hate to generalise, but remember: your bad.

You do realize I'm talking about stabs? You don't need to wait for something so obvious coming at you. I'm talking about retaliating as soon as you possibly can for obvious stabs, which often occur in multiple v 1 fights. From your posts, don't kid yourself, you love to generalize.

So you're stating you've taken the time to get to know all of NA and duel them multiple times thus concluding that we're all bad?

Or are you just talking out of your ass to try to impress people because you need attention and approval?

Problem I see right now about implementing a stat for xbows is HA. Right now, once the dust settles and you have won the battle, there will be between 1 and 10 horseranged my old friends riding around. They could still win the round, 100% undeserved, since they neither fight nor run any risk. So being able to grab a crossbow from the corpse of the bundle of sticks who bought and brought it and shoot down the turdface on the horse is invaluable, since without it they could continue to do what they are doing: being 100% safe from the fight while being able to 2 or 3 shot people.

Im not surprised the knights of ancient times despised even their own archers: they really are scum, killing men who have trained their whole lives to become the perfect weapon with impunity.

Crossbows sometimes give hardfighting players a tiny way to fight back. Sure, the HA will probably still kill you, but at least you have a tiny chance to shoot him or his horse.

As a current active HA, I rarely get beaten by a "borrowed" 0 wpf xbow really, it's the dedicated guys that get me, both archers and xbows.

Wanted to ask you one more thing what are the chances and techincal posibilities of implementing a skill requirement for the xbows?

Skill requirement for crossbows isn't needed because it's not a problem that non-xbowers can pick xbows up, but that xbowers don't have to go over 15str to deal huge damage and can stack shitload of agility.

It's str requirement of xbows that should be increased, not additional skill to be added. If arba had 20str req, I could understand losing a lot of health from getting shot. Obviously another free respec would be needed...

Oh and also a bit of appreciation for you Tydeus to compensate for the ignorant hate present in this thread:

I approve of most of your work and I think you are directly responsible for having actually sped up the game quit a bit already. Faster and easier animations on those that were pretty crappy to use for polearm and 1h, have noticably decreased the inability to bypass people's blocking skill that I have felt with slower weapons from these classes. I appreciate that you dare to touch the core of the game and try to improve upon it in this stage. The stabs have been overbuffed and they piss me the hell of so I hope you can tweak them soon, but when that is done I think you actually managed to improve the game.

Yeah for 1h and polearms, since they were the only melee weapons to get buffed, afaik.

I think 2h stab is the easiest to counter right now since the stun is long, you can force a stunned stab more easily since they can't turn as well, and there's less risk to getting hit by an extremely late stab as long as you're not running at high speed into it.

Yup, agreed. Played with 1h on eu_3 and never rly had any problem with the stab stun on it. I had to gain a loom point recently, so i also played a lot with my polearm alt, and the problem stab stun was not as big a problem either.

The thrust stun from blocks was increased in the last patch for all melee types by urist. He made it so that 2h weapons got the longest stun duration.

Alright, so my observations was true. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like your mad cause bad bro.

You're welcome. As an EU player I can also confirm that blindguy is horrible in melee, and used to kite with his superawesome cool meleearcher hybrid.

He asked me for duels, when I said yes he went into a defensive trollish "oooh I'm to good to duel you maybe when your better" mode.
