Weapon Durability?

[Caleb ConDoin]

Do you think adding weapon durabilty would be a good idea in warband? Like after a certain number of thrusts, swings, kills, shots, your weapon would break like a shield. An there will be an icon like the shel showing your weapon cracking. Post your opinions. Please and Thank you.

Certainly would make things more interesting, but things such as scimitar's will break easy and everyone will just spam their 2h weapons even worse than they do now and since if weapons break you'd probably have to bring a backup and only carry one shield then if that breaks, you're dead.

O well it was an good idea till you destroyed it.

It would take like 200 swings on a rock to break a sword.
so, no

Due to the length of a battle i think weapon durability would be a little tedious in Multiplayer. Might be worth considering for singleplayer campaign though but my vote is a no.

I would think it would be a good idea only for blocking. It should degrade just like shields on attacks. Although balancing this may be impossible.

I agree, on Auto block servers swords are better than shields in duels cuz they cant break

Exactly. I thought of this exact thing when we were playing DM auto block earlier today. Most of us went manual block for more fun, but I remember thinking. Wow, it would be so much more fair for choosing manual block on an autoblock server if weapons took "damage". A manual blocker has a very large disadvantage to an auto blocker because the auto blocker's weapon acts basically as a shield that is indestructible.

man why don't we use auto block =destructible weapon since you will block brutishly and manually block will not be destructible since you block it skillfully ^^ their are ways to block weapons with out them breaking you know?

I think it would be better to have weapon quality deteriorate rather than have weapons eventually break.

Typically, a sword wouldn't break, but the edge would grow dull making its offensive capability limited. Of course, thrusting would pretty much not deteriorate.

Who knows. I think that weapons should at least be able to be knocked out of your hand with a low chance or something. Maybe some kind of disarming feature?

Axes and polearms can break though in real life.

Actaully isnt it possible for larger swords to break smaller ones?

Blocking with wooden weapons against sharp wepons should break them quickly. But it could be balanced out by giving them some more attack damage instead.

i dont think most weapon like swords would break during 1 battle, and give wooden weapons more damage? thats just stupid

More damage but let them deteriorate after battles ?

[Alexa]

how can wooden sticks have more damage than a sword, spear or something like that? a sharp or dull blade would have alot more damage either way
