Light shield for knights

[reef plinth]

i would like to have be given an option to use a light shield as a knight, i use the jousting knight armor and i want to use the jousting shield to larp with it

[quartz parcel]

u mean buckler but yes it is true knights did use small shield on jousting due of mobility and added protection. Then again, not my problem.

[reef plinth]

no i mean light shield, buckler is just a shield skin for light shields

"it's not my problem"

[reef plinth]

whatever that means

[quartz parcel]

I would suggested it but u know the dev isn't doing it

[reef plinth]

then whats the point of feedback?

[quartz parcel]

to see someone will walts in blabbing off, u know how get attention for u always need a clown man get ppl's attention. So far the dev isn't taking anything seriously because lately they been too focus making new maps and cosmetic for it wasn't pose to be the goal I want dev run towards. So lately I only see dev deny and rejection of sorts of things. It would of been wise if players can selective what type of shields depending what classes they are using if u catch my drift

[reef plinth]

idc i'm still going to ask what i want to ask whether or not the dev has other priorities, that's what feedback is for

"quote my words" It would of been wise if players can selective what type of shields depending what classes they are using if u catch my drift

[reef plinth]

miscommunication

i like your idea, turn my guardian into a ranged powerhouse

[reef plinth]

Im very curious as to how using a light shield turns the guardian into a ranged powerhouse?

[vapid halo]

MaAs and Knights should be able to select what kind of shield they can use. Then again, what are the stat differences between the shields anyway?

Other than coverage of course.

Do they impede your movement or attack speed?

Heavy shield weighs you down a lot- you move slower but it can take many, many hits before breaking. It also absorbs the most damage thus protects stamina better. Its hard to throw and hardly does any damage

Medium shield slows you down very slightly, about as much as a devestator or crusader weapon will. It can take less hits and doesnt protect stamina as well.

Light Shields can only take a few hits, but dont slow you down at all. They also do a lot of damage when you jab or throw with them.

Personally, i miss CMWs system. The knight could choose any shield but the small shield- Meanwhile the MAA could choose the medium shield or the light shield. (Which couldnt break back then)

Since C2 has less weapon and shield variations, i think all three shields should be given to guardian, and the light two should be given to MAA.

Also, i wish knights would put light shields over their heart when they are unequiped instead of the side of their arm. Thatd be sick.

A lot of people hate guardian since heavy shields are heavy.
Some people prefer the heater over it any day. As do i.

maclunky explained it, but it does a lot more throwing damage

[vapid halo]

You mean light and medium to MaA?

Shields made of wood eventually break, but not metal ones though.

If they made the shields out of metal, they could just have the shield be knocked out of your hands when you reach low stamina.

just reduce the stamina drain and stamina cost for blocking.

Wait, I never paid attention but does parrying cost stamina or only holding it?

[plush pagoda]

Both. You need to counter or land a hit to regain stamina.

Every class can use a metal shield, but it only changes the look of it.
Historically, metal and wood shields were used for different reasons. They function the same in the game though. The only difference is metal shields scrunch up like a rasin and wood shields explode
