  1. I'm starting to wish they just uploaded this to YouTube.

     

    I second that. They should have expected such problems. I think there are thousands of people refreshing that page right now. :biggrin:

    They did that on purpose, so everyone sees how popular their game is.

    From my last post: "Think of this situation: You are fighting against a guy, and your sword breaks, leaving you with no weapon whatsoever. What do you do? You don't just stand there looking at they guy because, well, you don't have any weapon... No, you start hitting the guy with your hands!"

     

    Another situation is also when you are trying to just knock someone out, without killing them or hurting them too much. You wouldn't use your shield or your mace, as that may kill them or seriously injure them - no, you use your hands...

     

    Another situation, much like the above: A bar brawl. You fight with your hands, you don't use your bad-ass war-axe of doom...

    I don't deny that. Some kind of unarmed combat will be in the game, because it has to be in the game. I just think it shouldn't be a skill, and shouldn't be comparable to swordfighting etc. in terms of damage. Of course you will be able to do some kind of unarmed combat in situations like those you described, but I imo anything more than a standard punch-block system would be a waste of resources.

    ...I find unarmed combat rather unnecessary and unrealistic anyway.

    Unarmed combat is unrealistic? WHOA! You should really get out some times.. Not healthy to sit in front of the computer all day... Unarmed Combat is used EVERY day, EVERY hour, in real life...

    So, stating that unarmed combat is unrealistic is just stupid... (Not saying you're stupid, just the statement. :wink:)

     

    Yep, that's because most people out there don't own swords or at least don't like carrying them around all day. That again is because we have guns and very little chance of dragon assaults.

  4. So if a sword do more damage than a fist... swords should be also out of the game, there are people casting lightning and fireballs, in a realistic way there is no way a man armed with a sword sould beat someone that could kill him casting a thunder on him just waving a hand, and also there is no way an armored knight could beat a giant or a dragon.

    You can chop the dragon's head off with a sword, but not with your hands. You can stab a magician to death with a sword and kill him pretty quickly if you manage to get close. Doesn't work too well with your hands.

    And the laws of phisics serve fantasy, not the other way.

    ?

     

    who cares? if you dont want it to be good, just dont use it. dont spoil other peoples fun by not allowing it. maybe hand to hand shouldnt be as strong as a sword, but it should be balanced with the sword and have a use with in the game.

    also, you may want to play as a strong ninja who sneaks up behind people and breaks there neck /barbarian character, whos punches can shatter bones. dont stop people from doing that.

     

    I'm not "not allowing" it, I'm merely saying that I think the feature is not really necessary. (Exceptions are Quests where you lose your equipment, of course)

  6. Unrealistic means nothing in a game with dragons, giants and mages shooting fireballs,

    That argument again...

    Listen, if a world with dragons, magic and giants existed, the laws of nature would still make a sword do more damage than a fist. In fact, the more dragons, magic and giants there are, the more reasonable it seems to use a weapon.
