Shit you're right, it has always been like that
I don't know, his face looks better in this picture http://www.jrporter.com/pvkii/gestirmedia03.jpg
I guess it's just the angle
COOL!! that's ecxatly what i'd like to see in 2.3! thanks for the answer
just use it on your signature if you want.
lets say your shield has 40hp left and something that causes 50 damage hits it, does the shield break and 10 damage get dealt to the player (taking into account the amount of armour as well), or does the shield absorb all of the damage and then get disabled?
just curious that's all

Well i don't know but i hope it is the second thing

I think its the first one, otherwise you could just stand on a keg with your shield facing the keg.
I think one thing everyone is forgetting is that in 2.3 the scoring system is going to be changed, and there's much more emphasis on completing the objectives instead of mere dueling.
Of course the above doesn't apply in Deathmatch maps such as arena.
If you're playing Huscarl and your shield is disabled, can you still shield charge?
So my question is are ranged weapons going to be able to damage or destroy shields? If so, how is it going to be balanced?

Well if you are playing Captain or Archer and you're out of ammo you cant use your specials so I would imagine not.

I think they will destroy shields too.
And the dev team should remove the "add -1 kill" when someone suicides. As they are changing to Point based score, there should be a point deduction, not a kill deduction.
That whooshing noise was the joke, and a skirmisher, going over your head...
One major thing I see in it, though, is giving newbie skirmishers some survivability against berserkers, now that pistol accuracy is reduced. Berserkers that catch skirmishers with the double axes rip them up like tissue paper. I just think there may be too many changes too fast in one patch. Maybe once the game's released for steamworks, you can release everything bit by bit and let the community get used to it, and get it tested in live action sequences, rather than doing a total overhaul in one patch.
But, I digress.
The new shield patch is everything I ever wanted it to be.
The spear defensive mode appears to be interesting.
Blunderbuss knockback a la Force A Nature. That will give him a hell of a lot more survivability in an emergency situation, especially against berserkers and heavy knights, the deadliest (and one being the slowest) classes.
Hopefully shield blocking will negate a % of the knock back, though? Poor knights are going to have a hell of a time the first week of the patch. Archers even more so.
All in all, if this gets released onto steamworks, and gets a steam update news article about it, this could be one of the best updates, and most popular mods on steam, if everything gets pulled off just right. I can feel it.
And pleeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssse use the "update news" feature of steam, so we don't have to check the website every time it says "PVK2 has finished downloading", like people have to do with Dystopia and Eternal Silence.
Tf2 isn't the first game to use double jump by the way, but surely one of the most imbalanced ones.
I have an aristocratic smile and like to punch people
What he said.
However, I've not been on the mood for it for quite some time.
and PVK II is even greater

Same here
However, I've not been on the mood for it for quite some time.
Ya, its wonderful
I didn't play for about 6 months or more and when i came back i was just the same as before !
Never happened to me with any game before.
Actually, it did with l4d also.
TF2 DAI SUKI!

I agree with most if not all of this, it will be interesting to see what happens. Because yes as we know, being on Steamworks means they can release a lot of small additions/fixes once it goes live and a number of these things may need to be changed. It's fine to have Beta testers but they are a small number in conjunction with the overall community and things will get overlooked.

I don't its too UT
But the rest of this announcemnet is sweet. sounds like some great ideas and balance is being implemented in 2.3, think its going to be really popular when it does finally come out.
especially that food is going to be like heal over time, love that! hate it when you lose a fight because they grab a ham.
PS: does this mean theres going to be a siege engineer class who builds catapult and scorpion style sentries?
R.I.P THE SWASHBUCKLER
True. yet 2.3 seems to have many significant changes, glowing floating food is not worth complaining about in truth.
R.I.P THE SWASHBUCKLER
Just a quick question. When moving with the skirmisher, will the gun stay stationary in the first person view?
Because even though it would seem like a minor touch to do this, I think it would look a lot better if it moved around a little bit when the accuracy is affected by movement. It would be a better visual clue to the player that it's not accurate. (along with a widening crosshair of course).
It's not like he's a sniper with years of expert gun use, or a captain with a heavy gun. (Or a space marine who was trained in the art of shooting guns)
--
And yes, of all the things I could ask, I ask something horribly minor. I just feel like it would seem less frustrating to the player (and the rest of us due to their bitching) if there was a significant visual (and possibly BS answer to go along with it) explanation of why they can't kite anymore.
Maybe then I can play skirmisher without people saying I'm doing it wrong by not kiting too.
Can't wait for the doublejump.
