I don't understand the reasoning behind the weapon switching nerf and think it should be reversed/improved on. Why can I still not switch weapons through the number keys?
For example, say I have a spear, throwing axes, and a sword. I'm in a situation where I want to switch weapons from a spear to a sword to handle a close melee situation. I don't want to have to switch from a spear -> throwing weapons -> sword, this takes way too long now, and every time I switch weapons the opponent basically gets a free hit on me. Why not give me the choice to go from spear -> sword with the number keys? What's even more infuriating is that switching weapons will get you killed all the time - especially with throwing weapons, since you can get 'knocked back' while just holding the throwing weapon and another play bumps into you, even while you're not aiming the throwing weapon.. what?
It's completely frustrating and in my opinion adds nothing to the game. Why take away control from the player and the chance for a player to actually react to a new situation. I would suggest adding a way to manually switch to weapons, decrease the amount of time it takes to switch weapons so you can't get cheesed, and remove bumping a player with a throwing weapon while they are not aiming.
