Game Development: Approaches to Combat pt. II

[Pozitron]

I think that shield up should protect from arrows in front, but reduce the movement speed f.e. up to second. Weight of shot can be calculated as melee, only if target has shield up (and mb is without horse).

We are aware that archery is crazy right now. We intend to change it. Generally speaking I want to reduce damage but increase accuracy.

As long as the change involves some sort of damage reduction based on armor I'm all for a reduced damage theory, However reducing it too much overall will certainly affect hunting so please keep that in mind when making your planned changes.

Please and Thank You

Hunting archery damage is way too high as is. You can one shot up to deer on day one from a boat.

Fixing animal fleeing at the same time as changing archery damage would be nice.

I think that only shield up should protect from arrows in front, but reduce the movement speed f.e. up to second. Weight of shot can be calculated as melee, only if target has shield up (and mb is without horse).

Directional based archery combat could be amazing, especially in group fights.

I dont hate this update, but I hate thing that you still havent fixed archery.

quick dodge is too op now, you cant break it in any way xd

rip sword combat, it will be b12s all over now
i was kinda hoping for new moves to be added that wouldve fixed the "unwinnable" 1v1s.
also, which stat is used for the defence weight? ua or mc?

I agree.

In my opinion the only way to save swordsmen in new combat system is to give shields block from the arrows

Why?

We were under the impression that shield and parry were the biggest offenders in that department. Not so? Quick dodge might be too good still, but that aside.

Maybe parry but still definitly not so. Are OP knocks back in any form?

Feel free to suggest changes to the moves you find to be causing the problem.
