Thread: New speed cap...?
Accidentally pressed enter, lmao.
Anyways...the new speed cap they are realsing making pistols at .5 and rifles at 3 seconds or wutever, will they be changing the heavy swordsman speed cap? or will it stay at 1 sec.?
thats what should have been done in the first place. thatsa a good rule of thumb, the faster you hit the less damage you do. I.E rifleman should be slow but the hardest hitter of the elite ranged professions. also pikemen should be the slowers but most damaging melee profession.
Swinging or shooting anything at 1 second speed is a little insane considering no weapon in any MMORPG is that fast.
Pistols... they will do less damage, but hit way more than before.
Pistoleers are alsready absurdly overpowered. They have the speed of pistol, the range of rifle and the damage of carbine. Now they're gonna give them even more accuracy? Even at 60 meters?
personally i believe that changing speeds will have more of a change on the game then we think. Rifles are supposed to be slow because you have to aim. Think about it shooting somone in the head like a rifleman (sniper) does takes time consentration and aiming.
Now on to the possable speed change for us swordsman. not a bad idea, IMHO 1 second speed for a master is awsome i just think now we are going to see things dying alot quicker (even in pvp) and it will loose some of its fun factor if they speed things up.
Changes to swordsman speed is gonna make this proffession suck really bad - I am currently a master swordsman and I am really tired of being beaten by all ranged weapons - a speed cap will only make it even worse...
Commando's torching players is totally crap - remove that ability from the game it sucks and makes this too unbalanced...
Pistolwhip is rediculous
The pistolwhip which is perhaps more powerfull than any melee knockdown already owwwnz too much it is rather rediculous actually that anyone skilled at using a pistol can walk up to a melee master specialist could carve eights in the air faster then your eye could follow and then bash him in the head so he goes down....
well the past changes that soe has made isnt making me optimistic. but i still have hope. there are pistols that can do MORE damage than a curved or cleaver at a faster speed and available at marksman level. bs complete and utter bs. they need to make other weapons just as easy to craft and upgrade as the pistols, or downgrade the pistols significantly, since right now they are ridiculous.
when it comes to the flame bleeds, i say make it healable, and not last as long.
