Thread: Ran a test on the distance difference for UNARMED and POLEarms.......
As we all already know, virtually all LVA's are made at 4m maximum distance for auto attacks. As we all know, a Teras Kasi Artists can strike a target from 5m away with auto attacks.
Just thought I'd share to you that I took my gf's character and dueled her from 5m away with my LVA equipped.......'Target is out of range'..........so I then proceeded to unequip my LVA and go unarmed without budging a step.......and I started whacking away at her character with my fists........oh boy........this REALLY needs to be looked into.....
Oh...just to let you guys know......my TKM friend corrected me and told me has has 6m instead of what I thought it was at 5m...........umm.......dear god why...................
The profession who should actually have the shortest meleerange has the longest range of all the melee professions, and the profession who in theory should have the longest range melee weapon has in fact the shortest range..........
'Developers response': "...................................................whoops."
P.S just incase they want to sue me or something they didn't really say that

oh yes and unarmed lunge has 20 meter range while all the others have 15, found this out mastering brawler and dabbling in tk.
Hmm....I would like to inform you my lunge moves are 20m
lol thank you for correcting me, I did not know that....but I do believe a couple months ago they had it fixed so 4m becomes 5m......because...umm......it didn't make sense that they couldn't hit at 5m..................or some BS like that.......

That's 6m if you're NOT using VKs. Then the range is 4m. I'm currently a Fencer and I have a 7m rangewith my standard attacks. *ducks behind nearest cover*
But I may be misguided on that

lol ya, i finally tried lunging while not running and it is 20. i've never lunged while standing still before that hahaha. i always move while doing moves so i dont have to wait through the time consuming animations and it always says out of range when i do it and im over 15.
Oh i can hear it now, The TKM community is going to be so upset if we get a range increase.
Doesnt matter if you can actually reach out farther with a broom stick than you can bare handed, this is fiction anything goes. That will be the war cry of the TKMs.

I wouldn't say that. TKA rely alot on spamming their specials and as we all know,melee specials have a range of at least 10 - 12 m...
Don't get your hopes to high on the Devs looking into something like this... I mean when the devs ask us 'what do u want us to fix first, bugs..exploits..or contents' you know they should be taken out to the street and shot for asking such a question... you don't ask us what we want fixed from a multiple choice menu... no no no.. YOU FIX IT ALL, not this bs that u feed us right now with oh well this patch we are going to fix exploits and next patch we may do some small profession changes and the patch after that we will fix some bugs.. BTW.. the sliding bug... yea you know the OLDEST ONE IN THE GAME..... its still there.. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN FIXED!!!??? Oh wait your to busy trying to figure out how to equal the profession... but you need not figure it out.... no no no.... LOOK AT THE FORUMS.. there are plenty of bright ppl out here with grand ideas for OUR GAME... yes our game.. we paid for it, we subscribe to it, IT IS OURS.. OUR WORLD and u should listen to us.. not your boss.. why.. cause we ARE YOUR PAYCHECK, not your boss.. he just hands you our money.. no us... no u.. NO GAME....
sure I am just ranting and raving and this will never be looked upon by a dev cause they care not what we think only what they think... but when a dude with a polearm is cut short on his range vs somebody who is UNARMED!! THAT IS TOTAL BS and u know it!! All I can say is this has been a stress relief for me to vent to a nonparticipant crowd(devs), *sigh* now I can sleep better cause I have got that off my chest but it will just build up again over the days as I sit and stare into this game wondering **edit** the devs are trying to do to us....

Devs' see what you did, now he's upset.
And don't you all know of the arts practiced by these monks, they can withstand cold, massive trauma and cause their limbs to grow to grotesque lengths. Too bad many of these guys don't know the pre-req. at the temple, celebancy. Heh, once they find that one out we'll see their numbers, with there go-go gadget arms, drop like a rock. Pacience. It's a virtue of some sort, or at least thats what the chef's say.
