Shattered Kingdoms

The problem is that everyone specs in the powerhouse weapon of the time, and puts little thought into anything else. Then when it's time to balance said weapon all the mercs cry about how their spec weapon isn't OP anymore and so on. It's the same old story everytime.

The only way this could possibly be resolved, in my opinion, to make both parties happy is that everytime weapons are retweaked mercs should be refunded their specilization and allowed to repick what weapon they want to spec in. This would allow the balance between weapons to be fixed along with keeping the merc QQ to a minimum.

Just to give a helping hand, the specs that are still somewhat worthwhile and thus should be gimped of course are as follows: Greatsword, pike, no-dachi, and for one-handers you might want to have a look at falchion and longsword. Thank you, have a nice day.

No wait, preliminary compare results indicate that greatsword has taken a hit, and mayyybe even pike too.

Rofl, why would pike get wimped, it already sucked.


Dulrik SAID he IMPROVED some weapons. Maybe he can tell us which? I don't think it's fair for us to have to sit and compare all the weapons in the game...all over again.

Pike was awesome, a few notches below bspear in accuracy, damage of a greatsword (that is to say more than bspear) and the same speed. It was the ultimate second row caster killer.

I have to admit I never read this thread at all. That aside, gimping will always be necessary to retro-fit new 'things' into the game properly.

What new "things"?

Areas, gear, code affecting gear, code affecting races, whatever new is added. Later gimping will inerrantly occur.

I am curious what addition might've brought on the subtype gimping though...

The subtype code itself may have brought on the subtype gimping. I don't know.
