PvP with guns and swords.

Double gun is fun

@xzorganism said in PvP with guns and swords.:

Naval combat in SoT has developed a lot and is very well executed, but the PvP combat is, sadly, very underwhelming. These are some changes that (in my opinion) would improve PvP by making it easy to understand and learn, but hard to master (In no particular order).

Rework the heavy attack of the sword by:
The heavy attack should have a separate input button.
To do a heavy attack, you have to hold down the button for it to charge and if the button is released before the attack, it would cancel the charge and do a normal slash.
These changes would make the heavy attack much more reliable and would improve on the next point.

Adding combos to the sword.
There are already some combos in the game like block + space, which becomes a dash. These changes would make sword combat less spammy and more skill required. Example on a combo is slash + slash + heavy which could reduce the charge time of the heavy.

Adding more melee weapons.
This would add more variety to the melee combat, which is already more interesting with combos. Each weapon should have one basic attack, one special (block for sword) and one heavy.

Adding one melee weapon slot and one gun slot.
A lot of people will be angry about this change saying that the sword is “a noob weapon”, but with the added weapons and combos the skill ceiling is way higher. This change would make the game more healthy by removing the double gun.

The sheathed weapons should be visible on the pirate for everyone.
This would make it more rewarding to scout out your opponents before a fight and it would look very good.

Buffing the flintlock by giving it six shots instead of five.
Due to the flintlocks low damage it is easy to out heal it and hitreg is also a bigger problem for flintlock users than for, as an example, EoR users.

i think flintlock is fine now you can kill someone in two shots if hit reg is working

@amendelwyr making the combat system so complex ruin the fun in pvp, pvp is fun in sot bc of how simple it is
