RIP muh unarmed, getting the nerfs but none of the deserved buffs yet...

Also, spears/javelins were historically almost always used with a shield. It's pikes that were used two handed. But yeah, spears were often thrown before coming into melee range, and then they pulled out their swords, axes or whatever.

What Jorb gave us is a boar spear though, that's a hunting weapon made for 2 handed use, since in real life a shield won't to much to stop 100kg of boar charging at your crotch.

Need a move called Set Spear, which would basically be a reflect damage move similar to the boar's own. How you would make it work only against specific attacks or from specific opponents...dunno, heh.

*edit* Guess it could be a Red only defense that prevents the user from attacking while it is up, or is instantly cancelled if the user attacks. Meant to punish big Oppressive moves.

Jorb & Lofter don't chnage too much. Keep the game as it is with MINOR chnages and DON'T become a fuck up like runescape and the jagex the fuck up team. Quests and other crap started all that and grachical updates.

Few questions:
Is Spear thrown damage scaled by strength?
Is Spears will randomly disappear like arrows?

4 UA is less useful now + nerf punch = no balance
5 Need time for test
6 Imbalance nerfed = good

Again decorations. No works for important things like Trade, Teleporting, Siege
But still happy with new update, always pleasure to see that you are working and it didn't kill my characters and village

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.
