Game Development: A Touch of Fix

[_Gunnar]

I'm not convinced that damage in combat is that silly. Its certainly better than in legacy, imo... It took quite a while for a titan to beat me silly in standing in a spar; my armour broke first! (was the day before this patch ) if I had been running and just putting up blocks instead of attacking I would have been able to get away almost certainly.

Edit: The other thing about nerfing damage is that it hugely diminishes the possibility of surprises in combat. I understand that 1v1 probably doesn't matter so much to people with larger groups but it would be nice to keep it in mind, its silly now and with lower damage would be even sillier.

• For our main event we had hoped to get barter stands in tonight, but we only got half-way. Expect them next patch.

Enjoy!

I'm curious to see how barter stands will work.

Will we put in a few items and then have to "request" items in return, or will all items will be assigned some point value?


If we do have to request specific items, how specific could the requests be? Just "My 46/81/34 boar hide for 5 cloth" or truly specific items and minimum quality values, like"My 46/81/34 boar hide for five 30+/30+/30+ Silk Cloth"?
If items are assigned a point value, how will quality play into it, and what if someone buys all your gold nuggets for hundreds of low q branches?


It can only be better than the legacy coin system, but it's either going to have to be super complicated or super broken, at least how I see it.

That's another issue though man, it's far too easy to spam a single defense and doing so can make certain players completely unable to kill you for as long as you keep doing that depending on their stats. You can run away and spam and probably never die in some cases, though obviously it becomes more difficult when you try to be offensive as well.

I think the issue here is not the fact that you can spam a single defense, but rather the lack of attacks in other colors currently.

Yes I can agree with that

For the love of god, why eggs?!

What do people use eggs for? I have so many crap ones I can't use them all. A good 8/10 are negative, and 1/2 have a -4 or -5.

I think being able to run away is essential for a healthy system (wrt 1v1s) - you don't really want titans to be going around killing whoever they want i think... You shouldnt be at much risk of dying unless you overextend offensively imo, but if you do you should die pretty fast, which is why I favour higher damage than you guys are suggesting. One thing that would be nice is a much larger selection of moves and attacks, and associated interactions, to make combat more complicated and surprising, at the moment its quite easy to play round feigned dodge and parry compared to how hard it is to use them effectively.

Why we are loosing players? Soon haven and hearth will have less players than legacy haven and hearth.
