"The boar spear also became popular as a weapon of war, since the lugs can also be used to hook shields out of the way during combat"
A hint of things to come?...
As for ua vs mc, I think I will be running pure mc decks on my characters for a while... but I still need sting, fml!
Edit: I still think its odd to have a 2H thrown weapon, tbh. Probably would be better to implement javelins as well... The boar spear would not be very aerodynamic. I still think its a cool update that totally changes all my decks.

At this moment UA (=punch) is useful for removing blocks. My shield 3x more useful than other UA blocks. End of story.maze wrote: UA is powerful. the nerf to weapons is to make it easyer for UA to defend- the next UA update when J&L figure out the system, will be UA doing armor pen.
trade & siege is both active and the large project J&L are working on atm, trade is likely the next update.
It's just likly that they are trying to do internal testing before letting out such a big patch('s).
A lot of people have slowed down progress mainly cuz people keep backing J&L to do their own testing, when we are selfs are the testers....the backlash is unreal.
Penetration is future (possible) then we'll talk.

Yes, actually I didn't count exactly. 3x is more accessibly._Gunnar wrote:Dont you mean approx. 1.44x?Badich wrote:My shield 3x more useful than other UA blocks

Re: Game Development: Dem Feels
Seriously, can you let us use shield with spear at the penalty of increased cooldowns or reduced weights for spear-using cards? It'd make sense to use it two-handed if your primary focus is UA, but would still be usable by MC-focused characters.

Or you could give some personality for spear combat, giving them an exclusive move with very low cool down, or increasing their damage?Potjeh wrote:Seriously, can you let us use shield with spear at the penalty of increased cooldowns or reduced weights for spear-using cards?

That'd be cool, but not really related to what I'm getting at - I want to use a spear with m 5UA

Well I think 1H spears would be cool, as I already said it seems odd we can throw this boar spear..Potjeh wrote:That'd be cool, but not really related to what I'm getting at - I want to use a spear with m 5UA
But I think venator is saying that there should be spear-specific mc-based blocks, like we have parry for swords, maybe something like "Fend" that causes enemy attacks to cost more ip or something outrageous like that

Re: Game Development: Dem Feels
Jorb, could we have something to switch quickly what we use in hads? Would be cool to walk with spear, throw it and then quickly wear a sword or something like this. What you think about dual-wielding? Maybe consider doing some moves which use 2 swords instead of one?
