First off, thanks for trying something new.
I believe with some adjustments this could work. however as it is now, it is very unforgiving. which i understand what youre trying to aim for.
Roll has almost no place unless you have a bow, as cripple with the bow is broken, not only does the cripple apply no matter where you hit the player, but the damage is very powerful and you are light shooting faster than a mini gun.
NOTE: easy fix is simple, cripple only for feet, and fire rate cut by half, not sure why a non acc player should be able to hit for 100-150 damage but okay.
Roll has no use, the I-frame is so small and the animation so long you have no time to recover. even with 40-50agi it has no meaning in close combat. i understand you are trying to remove roll poke roll poke, roll recover, roll roll roll.
NOTE: easy fix is simple, keep the roll 1 square, but increase the speed of the roll. what made the roll before so powerful was the reach and speed of it. lowering the reach makes it so people cant get away so easily, but keeping the speed of the animation will give them recover time to correct a wrong.
Running, having this charging up to run, is interesting, but however i believe it is being critically an issue with the cripple, and the need of pushing shift to re-enage run charge is damaging. and most of all, not being able to strife, moving left to right is not much of an option, and without a roll you have no real mechanics to the game.
NOTE: can this charging up run work, yes, but not with the roll you added. i do believe if you speed up the charge even by half would help balance.
People want to act fast, and this sluggish mode is very damaging. i think slowing the pvp down is good, but you slowed it down GREATLY, and with horses as fast as they are, you can not combat a horse. should a horse be hard, yes, but they are nearly impossible.
On a positive note, The thralls leveling system is fun, very grindy, VERY grindy, as you need to farm over n over to get the best thrall possible.
I would still like to see more unique weapons effects in the game. to help alter your playstyle to be more different then others.
Also, for real, these new weapon skins, really need to stop being a WEAPON, seeing they look cool but ARE POINTLESS to use as they are weak. they need to be SKINS.
thanks
