Switch Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The fact that spears aren't in doesn't seem very realistic, but I believe their reasoning behind this was because you could, with the new physics, make yourself somewhat invincible by using one. You could keep your enemies at a distance (and presumably interrupt spellcasters) without taking any damage unless they had a spear themselves. The main thing they're concentrating on with this game is balance, and it sounded like spear would own all other weapons outright, and make things a little cheap. Err, that's the entire point of a spear... it has a reach advantage over other weapons, so if you use it right, you should be able to do that. If that's an unbalancing advantage, than a shield is too. Better take out the block skill, or people will be somewhat invincible. Has it been stated that spears are removed completely? Not just merged with another weapon?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah I know. But they're going for balance, where no one weapon has an advantage over another as such... I thought it had. But I can't seem to find anything from the devs quoting that... so maybe not. But I do remember something being said about it. Maybe it was just in a preview rather than straight from the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
