So starting from Friday I’ve constantly tried to log in and purchase the alternate skins for the knight the dreadknought pack and it goes to “connecting to server” then stops and nothing happens.

@Mockingbirch:

I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but I’ll be damned if I can think of it. It would be a useful tool for an archer/pirate/etc taken by surprise, but it certainly wouldn’t be overpowered.

Really? You can’t think of a reason, Well it’s simple really you kick someone they’re off guard they can’t do anything to prevent being kicked and you can let off another projectile. Javelin archers can already do this is MW and it’s the most effective move they have you just knock your enemy back and hit them with a javelin.

Mine still isn’t updating, I’ll just restart steam, Looks like it’s just you?

@Sir High-A-Lot:

The bostaff is not op, is totally broken, it does full damage regardless of the hit, it can 2hit EVERY class ffs.
If they will not fix it im gonna stop to play dw because it will be totally unfair.
Btw feints are quite readable but those fuckin ninjas dont do any sound at all and they do weird movement, if they facehug you you are litteraly dead, very very retarded.

Yea ninja feints wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the twitchy animations… bostaff will be OP even when they fix the red tracer bug :/

Just for the record, yesterday while playing multiTDM a guy went alone in the ninja team against like 20 ppl and killed one by one just running bent forward and spamming oh, he got kicked for “exploiting” LOL

What weapon?

@kywild:

@othayuni:

1. I could have a bow and arrow as part of my loadout;

2. Shuriken were provided as a sort of “inherent feature” of the class like viking and spartan shields and did not take up a slot, leaving the ninja to pick two other things.

If I could pick just one of those, I’d pick #1. I really like bows and arrows and having a real ranged game would complete me. Having both of them would be a dream come true.

Of course, I’m as concerned about balance as the next person. I realize I’m asking for buffs here. What’s the community’s opinion on how these things would be?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH… ok… let me catch my breath… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

you’re joking right? the ninja class needs a huge fucking nerf as it is right now they are so ez-mode its unbelievable! I even play them myself cuz its so hillarious to roflstomp ppl without even trying xD and its killing the game, more & more ppl ragequit every day cuz of ninjafags lol.

Lets look at what ninja already have in their arsenal:

• Silent movement
• Silent attacks aka unreadable feints
• Can twtich their aim to feint since their attacks make no sound anyway
• Have the fastest combos in the game
• Has the highest damaging melee weapon in the game, and its also one of the fastest, disregards the sweetspot mechanic and is almost impossible to block properly
• Have throwables that can be used to force people to parry and then gain a free hit on them
• Can roll away from just about anything
• Have decent hitpoints, surviving 2 hits is more than enough.
• Fastest movement speed
• Fucked up weapon animations
• INSTA counterstabs with the sword, and yes they are truly instant.
• If your opponent fails to block once, your combos are so fast you are guaranteed at least 1 more hit for free without them being able to do anything about it

I could probably go on but… yeah, buff the ninja some more it really needs it! lol

I’ll counter all your points right now

-Silent movement…Useless…just use 3rd person most ninjas don’t stop using the voice commands anyway.

-Feints are unreadable.

-Viking has the fastest combos in the game, Period.

-Bugged weapon

-This is the same with all blockable projectiles, Shields, Swords, Axes, Hammers, Move out of the way? Also if the ninja gets hit with a projectile in hand it unequips their weapon.

-Nope, Can’t roll away from absolutely everything if they drag halbred or spears. rolling is much more riskier, It should be used to punish people who’re overly abusive of the LMB button, Sometimes after you finish a roll as well you can’t move if you get hit.

-So if 2 hits is more than enough? Than 1 hit is enough? Wtf.

-Fastest movement speed is negligible when the spartan is only 15 points or less slower than the ninja and can just use the chase mechanic to catch up to ninja anyway

-In what way are they fucked up? That might be desyncs on your side because of the server or lag maybe, I’ve not seen any abnormalities, They’re just fast.

-Doesn’t hurt to queue parry for riposte.

-Hittrade.

@kywild:

You said its funny as well

un-bugged Bo
haven’t touched it since all it’s tracers turned red

@kywild:

so you’re just as bad? why are you trying so hard to irritate me? You’re just a huge fucking troll and you keep saying I’m an asshole? :S

you caught me

That being said however i highly doubt the fix is really gonna change much, The bo-staffs problem before was that it did minimum damage always on blue tracers now it’s red and green isn’t far off from red, I’m pretty sure it was confirmed that there is only ever a few points of damage difference between red and green, So is this fix really gonna make bo-staff balanced? I don’t think so, I reckon it’ll still be overpowered after the patch.

All that over the bo-staff sheesh, Even though the developers admittely said they’d be addressing the bo-staff next patch. As someone who plays ninja I don’t use bo-staff and I probably never will, I exclusively use one of two weapons the ninjato and the kama. But to say it requires 0 skill to play ninja? Sorry but what? This is only some pre-conceived notion that only you believe, I practiced hard to get as good as I am with the ninja now.

All classes have their quirks things that make them bad and the way I see them, Hardly any of the classes need more skill than the ninja

Spartan-Hide behind shield and block everything invulnerable to almost all projectiles, LMB combo and shield bash your opponent to death and if they’re a ninja or pirate just throw your dory to one hit them and get those dirty pirate and ninja scrub out of the way, Don’t worry though they won’t be able to effecitvely block it like you can with their bullets and shurikens.

Vikings- Just LMB spam, Don’t stop just LMB spam and if teammates get in your way just kill them too, they’re greedy and want your kills, If anyone is putting up to much of a challenge though just throw your shield and stagger them and get in a cheap blow with your norse which can effecitvely kill a ninja or pirate in two hits.

Samurai- If you don’t LMB spam nodachi you’re a scrub, Nuff said.

Knights- Most solid ranged option in the game the crossbow, With their insanely strong halbred and indestructible defense, Only takes 5-6 hits to kill them with the ninjato, That’s okay though they’re balanced.

Pirates- Respect.

Ninjas- Team?

@BB:

More on topic, the Sarissa should probably go back to it’s pre-buff state
longest weapon and decent damage, this thing is a beast

Sarissa isn’t too bad the damage is okay, It’s not overly good just adequate for a spear in my opinion, The one thing that’s annoying about the sarissa is it reminds me of the spear out of the normal CMW, Good support weapon where you can just poke away at your enemies in opening through your teammates and net some kills but it has much more range making for a very good harrassing weapon, The only thing I’ve found more annoying than 1 sarissa is two sarissas.

Versing two sarissas is the most aggravating experience ever, Because there isn’t a way around it, You’re sent into backpedaling limbo where you can’t get close and you can’t escape, The speed of the spartan is too fast, they’re the 2nd fastest class in the game now with the pirate.

@Arebasu:

What TB NEEDS to do is swap the heads from the NINJA to the SAMURAI, I’m aware DW is a hollywood thing but it for the most part tried to be somehwat historically correct… I won’t get into their fraudulance.

I want this mask from a ninja classic movie.

Everyone knows ninja needs a buff I’ve been saying that shurikens should be a feature of the ninjas for a long time but everyone refuses to acknowledge the fact that a buff for the ninja was highly overdue, I find it funny that they only just recently decided to do something for the ninja by buffing overhead and stabbing damage which I’m pretty sure no one asked for it was just a feature the developers decided would balance the ninja.

There are still plenty of problems with the ninja unfortunately which still haven’t been addressed.

-Sometimes after a roll you can’t move again…Just lol, Not sure how this issue is back.

-Kick still doesn’t work with the bo-staff correctly, you can’t move after a power kick.

-Vikings can two hit the ninja with the norse sword, Takes 70% of my health away with one LMB

-Distance of the roll for the Bo-staff and Tekko Kage is one step less than Ninjato and Kama is half the distance as the ninjato.

From the lamp shade on the left I rolled to test out how far I could roll with both weapons to prove my point, You can test this out yourself

first one is the ninjato obviously and the second the Kama like I said you can test this out yourself.
