0.5.3.0: Reset without Regrets

[Heibai]

RIP stones (again?), but hey apples now hit almost as hard as stones.

[Sparvico]

Overall the patch looks pretty decent. My only concern is that now shields stand no chance against crushthrough. 

They never did.

[Jona]

They never did.

They used to. Before San lowered their weights for the first time any heavier shield would fair just as well as a heavy-ish weapon, like an axe, when blocking an overhead. Rather, you at least had a chance to block a non-held overhead. Nowadays you'll basically have a 0% chance of ever doing so, even against the lighter mauls.

I play like 90% great maul and can promise u (atleast before the patch) with a steel shield u are good to go! Max 1/3 crush throughs with 24 str. -3 weight seem much but hurscarls round shields were pretty safe before the patch too and they were 8 weight before the patch!

Can I get a heirloom exchange for me  mw Mercenary Sword. Now it has become almost useless and does not stand out at all among the other short two-handed swords. Thanks.

[Asheram]

Can I get a heirloom exchange for me  mw light xbow, even when I put 3 ha on Asheram I never really put much wpf if any at all in xbow. Thanks.

[Asheram]

Yes went from 1.2 billion xp to 8 Mill xp to lvl 35 on Asheram woohoo. 😀 But Runs with Scissors is going to make all of you suffer err I mean happy when he gets the 80 Mill xp to lvl 34 😉

Prof, remember that shield weight helps RESIST crushthrough ... and the steel shield and heavy board shield had the advantage of sometimes being able to block a long maul.

Please consider this!  You have nerfed some shields pretty hard, probably unintentionally.

[Asheram]

Wait a minute hold on. If you are increasing the weight and nerfing damage of throwing daggers then the ammo count should increase. The only thing they are good for is interrupting archers and cav I can throw them at plate all day long and plate still lives to kill. If not then I would also like an heirloom exchange for them as well as light xbow and I will just go back to 12/33 4PS  4IF 11ath runner. Right now I am 12/30 4ps 4pt 10ath.

Where is the PLATE NERF by the way?

As it stands a shielder's only hope is to be able to outmaneuver a mauler (in other words, run away). It'd be dope if shields could have a bonus modifier in whatever the crusthrough calculation is so that they have an effective 1.5x their weight or something. That way they only slow you down by the amount of weight listed in their stats, but against mauls they appear to weigh a little more. Shouldn't be too hard to implement...

The only shields that were somehow usefull against CT were not even used that often, beside Professor tweaked a bit CT mechanic so there is nothing to be worry abouy and there are some more tweaks to come. Maybe DTV shieldwalls are fucked.
Good thing is that crpg had players online today

its threshold to go thru was increased so hopefully shield will not always b crushed thru

[XyNox]

Noble dagger added for quickdraw as well
