[Suggestion] Training arena map

[obolus]

Hi

I can see many people complaining in the forums whinning "Aaaaa you can't kill archer on a horse, Aaaa you can't swing sword from a horse, AAaaa xbow is weak, aaaaa horses are strong and weak and pikes are short and spears are long, shield fight is boring, manual block is difficult, the grass is to green and water to blue".

The problem is that in any of the servers you cannot test these things - I try to test killing people by sabre from the horse and half time i get headshoted or lanced from behind, my warhorse gets 2 hits with throwing axes and dies but before i buy another one, it takes 5 rounds and game ends.

MAKE A SMALL SYMMETRICAL TRAINING/TEST ARENA - with 2 stables with horse respawns and 2 armories with all the weapons for both teams and symetricaly placed respawn points for dead players (or don't limit the money people get here after resspawns in this map so they can buy anything (this is maybe easier solution). The arena should be small so that people can find themselves easily - half of the arena should be flat land, the other side could be 1 hill with a couple of trees.

I hate to say it, but isn't getting repeatedly lanced from behind and shot in the head while attempting to determine the efficacy of using a saber from horseback something of an indication that it might not be the most useful.

Just sayin'.

because you dont understand what i was writing about, ill try to make it even more clear (maybe it is because of my poor english).

there are a lot of speculations about certain situations in the combat - to make them clear - it is the best to make testing of them easy. it is not easy to try a lot of things people here speak about if you are disturbed by other players, huge map etc... but if you find 3 mates from your clan and go to test them in a small arena it gives you good idea how things work and if they are set up bad or not....

Yes this could make it easier to test things (as long as you don't get a bunch of trolls to crash the party)

Yeah, I thought this would be a good idea too. Add in some archery butts and dummies and enable damage reports, and then this would be really useful for testing weapons and balance in a (kind of) controlled environment.
