Katana

i dont see anything getting done about this because its pretty much the same situation maloria had for a year and a half that they refused to fix.

so why is it that katanas can swing almost two times in the time it takes to swing a knife once, plus the huge lack of freeze time in katanas that exists in knifes,

If you(staff) want katanas to be lame then theres not much players can do about it, so you can change something or you can sit there and continue to stack points on the stigma of curruption that seems to always fallow era staff (deservedly or not) but regardless what i have said above is all the proof reasonable people need to rethink the katana.

Ive said my peice, hopefully this is enough new (or atleast, unspoken) information to warent a revival.

Ocelot and I have been planning to fix Katana for a while now. We finally got around to it today but couldn't do a lot because of limited access. Blocking and the stun orb are handled in another NPC. I managed to increase the time between stun orbs though.
I wanted to increase the time between slashes by a lot, but unfortunately the melee system doesn't even have a variable for timeout between hits yet. I've asked one of the scripters to add that, so hopefully we'll be able to fix Katana once that's done.

or because both of you can't script.. either works.

That's a pretty dumb thing to say considering you keep asking to be hired on Era so that you can steal scripts for GX.

I'm pretty sure I know how to read a script and change variables. The fact is that those functions are in another NPC that operates serversidedly, so I didn't have access to them.

LOL YES.. I WANT TO BE HIRED ON ERA TO STEAL FOR GX. My bad for trying to help Era out of the grave it's currently in, should have just watched it bury itself some more. I guess you guys like your faulty scripts, I mean pff.. we all know Vulcan, Hachi, Mag, and Celarion beat me in scripting any day.

LOL.. wait.. I might have a heart attack on what you just said due to laughter lmaaaaaao.

Seriously, the only work worth stealing is Andrew's, Skyld's, or Stefan's.

And pff.. don't need to, I can script for myself silly lmaaao. Hahahahahaha.



And do you mean the hpfunctions class for melee attack (to get poison etc..)?

actualy i think that should be added to most melee weapons, its an interesting part of the game, i could definatly see after beating an opponent you would have to quickly heal yourself before you bled to death,

by the way demisis, wouldnt a simple playerfreeze take care of putting time inbetween attacks?

That's player freeze, not weapon freeze

Maybe compared to other melee weapons, but it's a gang weapon and need to be able to compete with the other gang guns.
Anybody that says Katana is overpowered is welcome to borrow a Katana so I can own them with an SG552 and see if they still think it's unfair.
The problem with Katana is that the only thing it's good at is laming, so people door lame with it. We want to make it not able to be lamed with and make it better competition for sparring against guns.
