Game Development: Approaches to Combat

Does your melee combat actually not affect the weight of your melee attacks? I assume that's a typo but i can't be sure

I can't connect, is the server down?

P.S. why is valhalla a free-for-all gankfest and not limited to duels?
Kinda hard to investigate the combat system when everybody attacks randomly

Pretty sure it does. What typo are you referring to?

[bmjclark]

It just says "Weight: Determined by weapon * U". Doesn't say anything about melee weight in there.

Unless otherwise specified, weapons will use the geometric mean of their Vitality and your character's value in Melee Combat for their attack weight.

Im retarded, carry on

You should make the distance from which you can hit a bit longer imo.

Will consider.

Yes, someone -- someone! -- had found their way to the character creation room and tried to create a character in the non-existing world. And here I thought I could just throw up a test server without having to consider all the ways in which it could be 'sploited. Silly me.

It was the switch character button that dropped me there

Yes, I'm well aware. Thank you very much for that piece of excellent and invaluable bugtesting. Ten dev-capes awarded.
