Ah, the weekly ā€œPvP meta weapon X, no skillā€ thread. Either it’s spear poke & roll, or daggers, or hammers, or two-handed axes, or whichever flavor of labor-saving device happens to be popular, everyone jumps on the band wagon, and no skill is required. This same complaint has persisted for seven years, only the weapon of choice has varied - sometimes with no actual mechanical update between the changes, meaning that players are actually innovating new counters to existing metas.

Also, if everyone is actually using the same weapon, that basically eliminates the equipment imbalance from PvP, meaning that skill, and to some extent luck, are the deciding factors in PvP conflicts. The fewer variables to stack the odds, the more important skill becomes.

If you give a total newbie a World Breaker, and the newbie beats a veteran PvPer (who also has a World Breaker) 50 % of the time, then maybe the veteran wasn’t quite as good at this game as they thought.

Most agree. So long as its their favorite weapon, the one they spent time using, is the one used.

Course… I don’t, as I like to see random weapons shake up the established accepted means. The downside is the allegations of cheating, exploiting, and being a ā€˜noob’ for not using a real weapon come out.

If you know they using hammers a lot, try agility build, steel thewed, glutton as they can’t poison that hammer, and use claws or daggers.
Stop with the weapon is OP.
Biggest issues in PvP atm in my opinion ,hidden underneath homes, undermeshing in general, newly returned cloud homes, even temporary.
And soul crushing lag causing you to be hit miles away from where you are.

Some hammers can be poisoned. It’s incredibly busted esp with the sprint attack glitch.

The ideal balancing fix would be fixing the lag though, the weapon doesn’t feel nearly as obnoxious on a clean server as you can dodge and counter it with some weapons. When it gets laggy 2h hammer is god mode.

But Funcom will never fix the lag, they could not in their other games either - it’s a low priority item on their list and/or they just don’t have the capacity to fix it.

I think the glitch is the worst culprit. Nerf hammers and they will just default to the next highest damaging weapon. Which doesn’t actually change anything except remove an option for people who don’t know or don’t use the glitch.

Glitch gets fixed and the hammer goes back to… well what it was. Its not my favorite weapon.

Dont need to nerf anything. Just balance the weapons so they serve some sort of purpose. Like for now, my weapon I used the most is shit (spear) compared to others, even the 2nd version of spear they added is shit for some reason mechanics has to work differently for spear than other weapons. Other weapons can have the ā€œaim bugā€ feature as they like or dodge cancel attacks.

They are just S H I T at balancing the game, and has always been.
