We're aiming for Tuesday or Wednesday, but no guarantees.

Is the update including a change to how armor blocks damage/damage works in general? Or just combat itself
the proliferation of automation is the rot of this game, with the next worst thing being the filth that plays it (you, probably.)

We'll see how far we get, but close combat is what we're working on.

-----------------------
  • We have spent a fair amount of time discussing/gearing up for some work on the combat system, which we will try to implement for our patch next week, barring divine inspiration to the contrary. Generally speaking our ambition is to try to find a happy medium between the present combat system and Legacy's combat system. The points we want to address are:
    • Remove all randomness and the idea of a deck more or less with it.
    • Retain the idea of a reduced selection of attacks/moves available during actual combat, relative the total number of attacks/moves in the game, but increase it from five to at least a full hotbelt.
    • Retain the idea of combat discoveries.
    • Gankiness is a problem with the present combat system. Partly this is due to the damage model, but another part is how blocking works. Return to one defense meter per some formulation, and make it non-dependent on a first input, i.e. you should have a defense meter without having to activate a block.
    • We are a bit skeptical of global combat states -- intensity, advantage -- but may nevertheless implement some. Legacy's concept of some shared states that both parties could affect was at least somewhat interesting.
    • One thing we do like with the present system is how blocks can have various special effects when cleared, timed out, hit, or whatever, and we'd like to try to retain the buff based mechanics in one way or another.
    • We are considering the interactions between horses and combat, as illustrated by the abovementioned changes.

Archery can be easily fixed with a better armor system

I still liked the idea of turning most armor into a % damage reduction, and then granting shields a chance to deflect arrows (based on MM vs MC, or perc/agi).

I feel like any change to archery damage directly will cause it to flutter between completely uselessness, or completely overpowered.

Although, for sure, please redo the formula for walking while aiming, at least make it much harsher if you are on horseback. I sit comfortably at an 80% minimum while walking + aiming, and my stats arent endgame tier either.
