What if jabs where disabled for the first week of play?

More of just an fun idea, but the amount of people i see jab spamming is really annoying ( partly because of the effectiveness of it) so what if jabing on knights was disabled for the first few days that you play the game? Show those rote ronin that slashing is the bread and butter while jabs the salt.

 

Kinda a good idea in some ways, but a bad idea in others. Jabbing is a elementary part of knight, but jab spamming isn't. It would be better if jabs were slowed, or some other way to discourage jab spamming.

 

I find your complaint annoying. What if we disabled you?

Seriously though, how is in any way jabbing invalid? The only problem is that you can't handle the way they play and then you made thread about it. Jabs are clearly effective strategy, why nerf it?

 

because smashing a key repeatidly shouldn't be a strategy, and even though idc about jab spamming if I get killed by one I get pretty upset

Oh and oodle this idea is pretty baide considering archers would rekt the new players

 

It really depends on what this game wants combat to be. Should it be based on timing or luck? If two jabbers fight at the same time it's usually the one who hit first, but sometimes luck can intervene. I think timing takes more skill, the only problem with timing is ping issues.

 

I say it more as a joke, but whenever I encounter a spammer in tdm and communication fails, all they do is jab, if all they could do was slash and double slash they would learn how great it is. I suggest because I care not because I vex.

 

Damn @kodysch, he saw through our ruse

 

coming from the pissy waterspammer eh seems about right

 

There are still some things that are stupid about knight combat, but I guess it's fine if they aren't making any more changes

 

Maybe everyone should be able to do max 3-4 jabs right after each other. This will jabspamming but still jabs can be used by better players to quickly stun the enemy.

 

Same face here, really. Being the only sport I ever participate in being Fencing, jabbing seems pretty dang natural to me (I hardly play these days, but when I do I do have a decent mix between the two).

Speaking of Fencing and Jabbing having similar feels, if it was Jab vs Jab only, yes often enough in a fight like that the person to make first contact would win, just like Fencing, however again just like Fencing the way to still win against an enemy who made first contact is endurance and timing, generally backing off and going in again to try and be the one to make first contact this time...which in KAG's case is all within 30 seconds...

Hard to say how Slash only would go, oddly enough I feel Slash Only combat would actually be more bland than Jab Only, though again Jabs are more like my sport so of course I'd be more interested in them. Oddly enough Slashes Only would probably hurt the community more, too, considering it is far more ping heavy combat, because instead of first to make contact winning eventually, it would become first to make contact wins instantly...

 

In the great words of @Spuds

 

if this game had quickscoping i'd already be feasting on your bones skrublord
gatu worst dev ever confirmed

 

There is only one complaint I have about jabs. Sometimes they can out range slashes, although this happens rarely it is still extremely annoying when it happens and I feel something should be done about it.

 

geti just likes pissing on innocent nubs

 

yea u were making that face m8 when we watered you so much like a dying plant that you nerfed water arrows in early beta

Spoiler: my bigger face
