Ah, thanks. This was exactly it. I don't remember when or even if I rebound it. I never used combat interaction really. That said, it was definitely the problem.

Maybe I am just crazy or terrible here. I have not been able to do anything even approximating a thrust. I have not scratched my enemies with a sword in anything but a swing. I have spent 10-20 minutes trying to get the mechanic working, but I just cannot seem to figure it out. When you hold...

I really think that the fact that you can grind low-risk encounters is incredibly mis-matched with the potential instant death. It would be one thing if you couldn't do the easy ones anymore, but with the infinite grinding of trivial things, you can take forever then die suddenly, and that...

I am noticing that the new arena setup is very easily grindable, but also that it punishes risk taking very harshly (potential for instant death on a mistake). This leads to it heavily encouraging that you just dont take risks and constantly beat on easy enemies until you have enough gear to...

This is totally what happens, it is doubly hidden by the fact that you need to also select the correct tab to see the items, so you wont even discover them when looking around. There really had ought to be some sort of indicator that this is happening at all.

Odd bug when you trade for something and do not get it. I haven't been able to purchase anything since the update that just happened, but it deducts the money anyway. Not that I can test it a lot, getting money is very difficult and items are expensive.

I have a feeling that this game has attracted something of an insular group of followers. Marginal changes to lightning do not make a fundamentally low-lighting low-contrast set of visuals easy to see. If the response is that I should manually change the settings on my hardware to be able to...

Alright, so I like this game. I enjoy the combat, and I feel the updates have been slowly improving it. I only ever play Arena mode. Seeing things in the standard game is a chore. The visuals all blur together, and are dark with low contrast. The game is straining on my eyes, and something...

Overall movement seems like a substantial improvement. There are some problems, but its less problems than the previous system had. Things generally seem more organic, and the range of possibility has increased. This is all good. I expected it mentioned that weapon swinging has changed...

For the record, you people know that you can crouch, right? Correctly timed crouches allow low angled swings or swings at the ankles. There are generally fairly consistent.

You misunderstand blocking technique. Try to twist your body in order to maneuver the shield into the leading hand of the oncoming attack. Using a shield means twisting your body much more than with a two-handed weapon. With a long weapon, this represents failure, but with the shield it...

I will list my currently understood advantages for height and weight. Tall: -Longer Reach -Longer Steps -Higher Crouch Height (less a difference than you would think though). -Harder to knock down (height prevents enemy leverage) -Easier to knock self down (Height creates less balance, longer...

http://www.baremettle.com/forums/index.php?threads/in-game-technique.2160/ " Polearm Knockdown The technique for getting knockdowns is actually very simple. It is important to note here that your height and weight are significant advantages for the maneuver, as is hitting the opponent in the...

I recommend the following: Increase the area of the backhand/left swing arch. Remove 'double swing' mechanic. Alter timings of swing, such that the second swing needs a second click to occur. Allow swings to be extended even further into presses when the mouse is continued on too long...

I suppose I should add. Polearm Knockdown The technique for getting knockdowns is actually very simple. It is important to note here that your height and weight are significant advantages for the maneuver, as is hitting the opponent in the back. Begin attack by clicking and holding on your...

The goal here is to come up with ideas for the skill system that live up to the feel and mechanics of the game. Here are the ones I came up with, feel free to add. Hard Parry: With a firm wrist and a swift arm, parry strength is increased. This effectively decreases damage and the tendency...

What have you guys learned about martial technique in-game? I suppose I will start with what I know. Fast Compact Swings One-handed weapons and light two handed weapons are capable of fast compact swings, exceeding that which is normal expected of them. To do this, you simply begin a swing...

You seem to misunderstand. To such a degree it seems you think my question is obvious beyond reckoning. I have fought with swords, and I have fought using shields in real life. Managing a shield a significant pain, even for someone experienced. They are heavy, bulky, and get in the way of a lot...

I prefer when choices exist meaningfully. As it stands now, I cannot figure out for the life of me why I wouldnt use a shield if one was available. This feels like a weakness of the game. Am I wrong here? Is there some use to a pure one-handed weapon? There certainly are many possibilities...

Right now, combat is a finesse game. Real combat has this be much the same way, and this mirrors it fairly well. Except that the granularity precision you get in this combat is roughly at the level of being incredibly drunk. Skill matters you say? Sure! The swordfight between two wasted master...
