Current Balance: are you happy?

[BlindGuy]

Currently balance is fucked. It's just retarded. But maybe my viewpoint is warped.

I dont like that currently "balance" team balances classes, not weapons, don't adjust obvious issues, nerf the last useful tools and buff already powerful stuff. I dont like the slot system. Or at least I don't like how the slots are arbitrary, based neither on size, price, effectiveness or utility of gear. I don't like the way there is only one truly viable hybrid option.

BUT Maybe I'm alone in thinking the last few patches have been making things worse and worse, so: Poll.

If you feel that you need to write anything in this thread, make it concise please: State what you are unhappy about in 10 words or less if possible.

If something has happened in last few patches that you think is really good, please write that, also in as few words as possible. Also, if you were butthurt by awlpikes and liked the way they were nerfed, think critically: was it really required to nerf all polearm stabs because of one item?

no heraldic donkeys.... makes me sad...

Answering the question in OP:
1) I am pretty happy with current balance
2) Your poll is shit
3) Your post is shit


You should make a bigger time gap between GTXting the game and writing something on forums, would help to make it look less butthurt.

BlindGuy, take your own advice:  If you feel that you need to write anything in this thread, make it concise please: State what you are unhappy about in 10 words or less if possible. So far you're just whining.

Balance is OK, meta game is CAV.

The last changes were the best since... probably the removal of polestun.

Now that I think about it, it's interesting that this patch is also about removing a bullshit ability for polearms.

Balance is pretty good. Only points that come to mind is that shields don't provide enough protection against ranged, crossbows have a too powerful combination of excellent ranged and melee capabilities and slashing cav has ridiculous damage output and too easy bumpslashing.

Shit thread is shit though.

[Kafein]

Slash cav without bumpslash is pretty useless though. Just dodge it. Shouldn't be too hard with horses barely more agile than turtles.

1h CAv is Op, especially since they buffed the arabian cav sword by 1 speed, my only complaint, everything else is balance in my eyes.

These are all points I agree with.

Your the worst part of the community: able to play but still solid supporter of noobtubes being massively OP.

Huh? GTXting? If you mean last night at 4.30 (GMT): I stayed that late to wake my missus up for work cause shes on mornings, it was finally late enough that I could wake her so I left. TBH I left pretty satisfied, opposite of rage, I got to kill that cav teamkiller when he got balanced to other team, nicely mauled him with my zero powerstrike

This thread was pretty serious: 1hand + shield with slight AGI leaning is currently godlike, and 1h cav are more powerful in almost every aspect than lancers: Im no polearm fanboy, I like to fight with everything, but 1hand is currently brokenly good, the stabs are still retarded, and Tydeus is smoking something I can't buy it seems. WHY would he nerf pike and bamboo spear? its beyond me.

Really? You love the noobtube too tho so fair enough.

[HarunYahya]

To be honest, buff for arabian cav sword is stupid. I don't think that 1 speed matters too much on horse yet the problem is,now they don't have a disadvantage once dehorsed.I've seen you typed buff to shields . I have no idea what you consider as "buff" shield is a handicap from the very start of this game.

Overall i really don't see a major balance problem in the game. Stacking agi is more useful that stacking str maybe that but meh...Your choice here.

Slot system is essential to this game imo.It may be adjusted to satisfy many,but removing it should not be an option.

I've no idea, I dont track anyone's quits, it just looks like a post written after a RQ.

No, I'm not.

Firstly, 1h handed cav is outrageously overpowered, with weapons that got 35+ cut at +3 rank, plus add the insane bonus speed. 1 hit me with 46 body armor, plus 21 str and 1 IF.
Then, you got crossbows, much faster they used to be in reality, and dealing huge amount of damages and therefore ruining your round when you take a bolt 30 secs after the beginning. Then, you got the way of balancing from Tydeus with archery, what to say about that ? Just look at the short bow's missile speed, then, look at the rus and long bow ones. 42 for short bow, 41 and 40 for the last ones... aka most powerful bows. Explain me how can a low tier peasant bow used to kill rabbits and stuff, can have more reach than the two most powerful bows used on battlefield. It's the whole internal balance of archery that is fucked there.

[Gravoth_iii]

1h cav needs a nerf, other than that i like the game as it is.

I'm not sure this post is worthy enough to be in my chamber.
