Quick Fixes for Classic B488

Have you ever seen King arthur shieldbashing IN REAL LIFE?
Also , King arthur can Ride on knights' head using a Shield?
That sounds "Not Realistic".
So and now, shieldbash is being the "MAIN" Point for the best skill of Knights.
In addition to this, there are bugs and stuffs that is making the gameplay(swordfight) ruined.
Man, i hate shieldbash.
It is just awesome, but when it goes sooo mainstream.
NOT MORE AWESOME .

 

You ever seen in life Pixel PEOPLE?
Or have you seen the King Arthur throws a bomb?
That sounds "Not Realistic".
did not think that this game aims for realism.

 

Slash2win require a lot more skill than bash2win. Slash spam rewards you for positioning yourself well and you have to space and time well in order to prevail. Bash2win you just jump, bash, jab in a straight line with complete disregard to what the opponent is doing.

I think the mistake was making bashes stun rather than knockback. Which is extra stupid considering being stabbed in the gut doesn't even stun you.

 

Shieldbashes are weird - causing sometimes huge "Fus Ro Dah" effect, making someone shieldbashed fly WHOLE map.

 

Slash should be better than shield bash, for example if the guy want to shield bash you can stop him slashing him (and hurt him with the second slash if u do a double one).
Because actually even if you slash him he can bash you (most of times) and when the slah works u can't double slash because of the knockback.

 

with the new update broke the zombie mode

 

how would bomb_jump_scale work? like if set to x flies x as fast and/or x as far?
also we need a variable to change shield knockback?
edit: @norill i think so

 

Dear KAG Team, please implement a dislike button, ty.
Shield Bash like it has been these builds, was the worst part of the gameplay lol.

 

naw worst part is spam. just spam, and worst of all ranged spam ie catapults, archers and bombs

 

There needs to be a way to stop shotgunning.

 

Code:

    #shieldbash
    shieldbash_push_factor = 2.0
    max_shieldbash_push = 3.5
    min_shieldbash_horiz_vel = 1.0
    clientside_shieldbash = 0
    shieldbash_uppysidey_ratio = 0.4
    shieldbash_knockdown = 3

u mean dis?

 

I think the main problem with shield bashing is the surfing, and if u dovakhin it, like worm mentioned. I think u should make it so that when u come it contact with the victim u are bashing. He gets knocked back 3 blocks and u have a mini knock back in the opposite direction. Then people won't be hanging ten and what not on Ur face. Shield surfing sucks, but it is fun to do "sumo" battles in rp and stuff.

 

This is easily the funniest statement in this thread.

 

RCON CRASH HATH BEEN SLAIN. THANK YOU SHAD

 

When you guys "fixed" it you said "clashing is off by default fwiw". Tested it with some bros, clearly still on. I mentioned this, no reply, later I heard that its impossible to turn off, hence builders retaining clash for a large number of builds despite repeated efforts to kill it. I apologize if this assumption is incorrect; will seriously test this. In any case I don't see why clashing would even remain as an option, let alone default. Evidence shows time and time again that it is the worst addition to KAG ever.

FACT: Two knights jabbing at the same time will yield random results. Blue knight may kill the other while taking no damage, the red knight may kill the other while taking no damage, and anything in between purely due to luck.


Some clashing test, skip to 1:40 for the most striking example.

Anyways, good if it's a working an option now, I will make it my life's work to hunt down every server owner and force them to turn it off.

 

One big problem with shield bashing is because, as random and silly knight slash combat is, shield bash is much more nonsensical. I also find that it's a lot easier to pull off an effective shield bash then a slash, because there is basically no way to stop it except for another shield bash or a perfectly timed slash (and that only works SOME of the time). Because it's so easier to pull off and is less risky (you don't leave yourself open while shield bashing), and the only way to counter it is to shield bash better, it just turns into a shield bash contest.

Also, I hope head desync will never be fixed, it's clearly one of the best unintended features!

 

Spoiler

Never did I said you could not fight without shieldbash. Also please explain to me how bouncing off each other is complex and interesting?
