Swordsman Archive

Where is the info on the patch thats going in right now? (Oct 8).

Is this the big one with the added range to meleer's. I had this thread at one time when Gorecki posted it here but I can't seem to find it. I sware they hide those things.

I wanted to read it again. It was like 4 pages long.

thanks

The patch updates are listed in the 'Recent Updates' section found here:

Someone correct if I am wrong (I certainly hope so) but I did not see any updates to the swordsman profession at all. I noticed that they increased the range on the Vibro Knuckler, but nothing that was specific to us. I didn't even see anything about filling in the 3rd finesse box...

re-reading it now

Hopefully you will see something there that I missed. If they made an update this big and didn't even bother to fill in an empty skill box, that is awfully disappointing.

I saw no changes to us sepcifically but heres what will effect us to some extent:

1) AT-STs are vulnerable to blast. You can use a Power Hammer on AT's for more damage.

2) Increased defensive accuracy. Thats paraphrased but what I take thisto mean is that guns will be less accurate when we're being kited. (?)

3) Padded Armor (for those who where it) will have less encumberances. I'm going to buy a suit and try it out!

4) Fixed intimidate to land more often.

5) Dizzy will have more effect on NPCs. For those who are lucky enough to land it.

That's all I picked up so far. I swore I saw something earlier about adding some distance to all melee attacks but that might have been in that dream I had where I took the whole dev team out for dinner to the Tavern on the Green.

Well, it looks like I will have to upgrade armor...again. I just bought a suit of 62% special to kinetic, I'll have to see if i can find some padded to match that. Still no luck with that empty finesse box...maybe they just forgot to mention it.

Did you mean this one ?

..basically our Designer thinking out loud, eventhough i think it's more concrete than thinking.

To give you an update on the current situation:

Our designer will only return in a couple of days, meanwhile i'm on standby and reading and collecting stuff here and on other boards.

Have a great day

thanks Gorecki.. it wasn't a dream buta "proposal". I think you said elsehwere that range issue wasn't even adressed in test center yet by adding distance to our attack correct?

which means that its a long way a way or.. "o u t o f r a n g e"

Now, maybe it was just me, but I read on the Test Notes that Pike and 2H move cost would be reduced? Yet on the patch notes it only says Unarmed Move cost was reduced...

**edit** is up with that?

It wasn't just you, I read that on the test center notes also. Hopefully they meant 'All Melee' move costs reduced.

well for the time being lets assume that is wasn't a typo and TKA gets reduced costs and a 5 meter extension on knuckler and we, the other 3 classes get nothing:

WHAT WILL WE DO? This is getting out of hand. I'm not a complainer but I'm getting really exhausted standing here in this forum with you all talking about the same things we talked about in early august! Every time someone picks up swordsman they come here and, god bless em, ask the same questions over and over again!

-- "Whats the difference between this and that? Why isn't there anything in expert finese? Why can I hit something thats right in front of me?" I don't even know what to say to new swordsmen anymore.

Its like "hello? am I here? anyone there?"

OMG, w t f is wrong with the devs.

i swear the only melee in the devs (and a lot of the players) mind is tka.

god ive responded angrily and bitterly to two posts today, dammit.

this isnt me, i am just so pissed off i can hold it in. why cant they add a skill or move mind bleed 2 down one skill block. why didnt they just put all the effort they used on tka to extend melee range to 10 or whatever it was gonna be meters. whay can they give some more accuracy mods to pikeman. why cant they give us fencers, swordsman, and pikeman more defensive mods.

the devs said they didnt hate us, and that they did notice us. prove it devs, whay dont u get off your a s s e s and PROVE it.
