Being a game balancer is a thankless job that entails lots of hard work.

I plan to correct this tragedy with a double-headed thrust of internet-philanthropy.


First, to address the issue of being a thankless job:

Tydeus, you're doing a great job. I like the changes. Cheers!

Second, to lighten your burden:
At the heart of game balancing is the ability to determine what changes need to be made. This is where we, as a community, can make Tydeus' job easier by listing essential changes that he has accidentally overlooked. I would urge you all to post your brilliant suggestions in this thread, so that we can make Tydeus' job just a wee bit easier.


I think it is extremely unrealistic that striking a palm tree does not cause a torrent of coconuts to issue forth from its verdant plumage. This really breaks my immersion. I mean, come on! These coconuts would have no effect on most players, but anybody wielding an axe would be able to break them open and restore 1 HP. I think this is a great change that would make 1H axes a much more appealing weapon type.

Tydeus can you add the ability to use the flat of your blade to 'spank' an enemy, instead of cutting them? I think this would add some deep gameplay options (after you spank someone, they are sure to come after you for revenge) and would in no way encourage late-round delay/bro-coding. I think this would be an excellent way of helping new players into the game, as the old veterans simply spank young whippersnappers instead of killing them immediately.

Tydeus can you add a hydration meter to the game? Characters would start with 2 minutes worth of 'water' stored in their system, before they have to go find scene objects to drink. A dehydrated character would be slower and much weaker. Fighting in heavy armor is hard work, so I think this would be a good and very realistic change. (Sorry if this is the plan for the beer mugs and I ruined your surprise).


I hope that I have made your job a little bit easier on this fine day, and I hope that the rest of the community will chip in to lend Tydeus a hand (feel free to offer him suggestions in game, where he most appreciates our help).

We are watching. My character also did not go to the restroom for the last 3 years. We shall look into this.

Remove damage vs shields from all throwing except for axes

Decrease damage done by charge and required speed needed by heavy horses to knock down.

Lower distance people roll and enhance hit box while rolling

[Tydeus]

I have heard the cries of the flock.

Next patch you can expect throwing alt mode for the following items: Flamberge, Long Spear, Pike, Bamboo Spear, Mallet, Maul, Great Maul, Long Maul, and attack+v will throw your shield.

Edit: Considering throwing mode for the Morningstar as well.

[Thomek]

I want to throw my hood, or slap people around with it. Ninja style.

This kills the person.

This kills the person.

He already died inside a long... long time ago

We still can't throw peasants?

Only in our minds


Which in my opinion is severely underpowered

While there is certainly a suggestions sub-forum, I do not believe that it is the appropriate place for this particular thread.

I am not listing mere "suggestions" that should be added to the game, but rather pointing out some of the glaring omissions which the Dev  team has not yet implemented.

It's the difference between suggesting that somebody eat a piece of toast, and pointing out that they have not yet had breakfast.

Speaking of which.




Tydeus can you make it so there is a breakfast-eating mini game when you first log in for the day? You can buy different tiers of breakfast (ranging from barley-porridge all the way to full continental) which deliver different performance buffs for the day. Then once you get everybody used to playing with breakfast buffs, implement a real-money currency for buying breakfast and jump on the MICROTRANSACTIONS BANDWAGON!!!!

(PS if you do this I can give you a very good recipe for toast)

That's not how negotiation works. Give me the recipe, then we can discuss the specifics later.

[Johammeth]

1. Use serrated blade to cut off a 3/4 inch slice of fresh bread (draw the knife across the loaf with minimal "down" pressure)
2. Place inside of toaster at approximately 80% power/duration, depress lever.
3. <><><>REDACTED UNTIL WE SEE PROGRESS ON IN GAME BREAKFAST<><><>
4. Enjoy your perfect toast!

Would a clan armory type setup stocked with one of each item, accessible only to the item balancer team, be something that the devs could make happen?
