Spar armor/weapons

Post by ramones »

Didn't find any things similar through search so I'm writing here. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to have some new spar armors and weapons available, so there would be easier way to train with your buddies. Atm if you wanna train your melee hits, you simply cannot do it in a way to avoid damaging your sparring partner armor. And without training that, just ua isn't good enough.

Maybe simplest way to do something is to make a wooden sword, that would do like 1/10 of the dmg that steel sword or other weapons do, then you can already use leather armor for defence (easily made).

You could also just make armor not take damage in spars.

I believe Valhalla is their solution to this age old problem. A PvPers playground where only the dumbest and deadest have access to!

Or no damage for armor.

Valhalla is not the solution to this. I did not die and want to spar, so that would mean I need to risk my char which is barelly even capable in reaching the range to be able go to ghere and i would need to suicide. No tnx :)

Why not just make cheap leather armor? It may not be the same as metal but your practicing moves more than the defence of metal armor. And if your both equally equipped then its just the same as learning with metal.

Not quite. Armor can really make or break different moves. Figuring out what's even worth bothering with in a real fight is important. For example, in leather armor a punch would still go through. In steel armor it's Knock Your Teeth Out to even scratch the enemy. That's a huge difference in effective moves.
