The biggest problem that still remains is that the new exp system encourages players to sit around naked and play with ladders, delaying the rounds. I have literally seen this almost every game with certain players. They say they do it because they can't make a difference, so they don't even try. They just leech. The old system prevented this.
This is bullshit, there will always be idiots doing stupid shit like this though. But doesn't anyone actually remember how rounds went pre-patch? Every round started with people on both sides running to the same point on the map everytime where they would gain the most XP but be in least danger while the minority who didn't care much about XP actually battled. Eventually one team overrun the other and killing the hiding leechers who did everything they could to stay alive in XP range. Sure if they didn't win they'd only get 25% XP but that was usually more than they would've got if they had fought back from the start.
Atleast now people try to win, because there is no penalty to fighting. Which is why it baffles me that people still hide in the hay as they'd gain exactly the same amount, if not more, XP if they charged straight at the enemy with a cheap ass spear, and they'd actually have fun.
Anyway, fixlist:
- Lowerprice on light cav
- Higher speed for light cav
- Slightly lower price on the crossbows
- Slightly higher price on the longbow and warbow
- Slight damage nerf to arrows (-2 or -1 point)
- Slight speed nerf to most polearms
- Sideswing for swisshalberd
- 102 speed for katana again
- -1 mil. xp req. for lvl 31
- Slight increase of damage for grosse messer
- +1 or +2 speed for most short swords
- no crushthrough for barmace
- WPF requirements are too steep after ~130, makes it stupid to try and go above ~150
- PT should not increase accuracy, throwing WPF should however
- Shield skill should not increase size, should increase speed more though
- Heavy armour should weigh more
- new 1h/2h fighting animations
- crouch animation
- new better shield animations
- shield bash
- slightly lower upkeep but also lower gold gain
- spear bracing
