Tachi is OP

[mar3usmc]

As the title says. I wonder if the Devs just really had a thing for katanas. As fast as it slashes, your DPS is through the roof. It makes daggers pointless. Oh, and the staggers, my god.

[mar3usmc]

Oh, and it also uses soooo little stamina.

And it's only 1 heavier than a dagger. And the reach.

Balance is not a thing in S&S.

Totally. The fact that you can get lower rank weapons which outclass nearly all the rank 5 ones seems silly. I was really looking forward to rank 5 gear only to discover there wasn't much point in using them in most cases.

I guess the game is finished, but with regards to weapons and armor it is lacking a great deal of polish and content.

Yeah how dare they have a two man studio.

[mar3usmc]

I am sure they have profited greatly. They can hire more people. Nothing wrong with having a larger studio for a better product. For the sale price, I think it was a pretty good deal though.

[No One]

Yeah how dare they not hire more people. What jerks.

[mar3usmc]

O.o you really like sarcasm eh? Not much for intelligent conversation? You basically stated in your opening statement that they couldn't polish, add content, or balance because they are only two.

That is a terrible argument as there are plenty of qualified people they could have hired to complete the former. It would result in a better product, and possibly more purchases. Therefore, more profit and enrichment. You make money off employees if they are worth thier salaries. Additionally, with any future games they produce they would have a much more loyal customer base that would perhaps purchase their games at full price, rather than waiting for a sale, or even not at all.

As I am playing this game currently, I would still only purchase any of their future titles at a hefty reduction of whatever initial price they place their product on the market for. This is what not polishing a final product gets you; a loss of future profits on future products.

It's all relative. The taichi is overpowered compared to knives, but Greatswords are overpowered compared to the taichi. Balance isn't really a thing.

[No One]

They don't want to hire more people. But you certainly feel entitled to make them. You're not.

[mar3usmc]

I never implied that I desire them to hire more people. The argument made was to counter the sarcastic excuses you were making for the development team.

I noticed the the tachi is using less stamina on average than a cutpurse shiv. Looking at it closely it is because of the moveset. The tachi is consistanly using the same amount, 16.2, while the dagger's initial strike is using 13. However, on the daggers fourth light strike in the combo it is using 3x as much, 39. I can only hope it is a bug or major oversight on the devs part. The dagger using up so much stamina on that fourth strike is very strange, and I don't think it does any extra damage.

EDIT: I think what is going on with the dagger is that, regardless of your selection, the fourth strike in the series will always be a strong attack. In that case, it may be doing a bit more damage.

Another step to emulate Dark Souls. Katanas are OP there as well.

The iron pot can become more powerful than higher lvl weapons the more you upgrade, like destorying bosses with ease type.

It's not difficult to make daggers pointless. They're the worst type of melee weapon by far.
