Water Stance - ghost of tsushima

Very iffy on this one as a shield user myself

However I'm Australia and have 270ms so I can never break the enemy shield.

I don't like it when 300lb death3204 hides behind the shield and crits me because the delay is bad on my end.

So Ill upvote it but I think the nerf would need other ways

I understand that this server is based in EU but shielding with low ms clearly gives you an advantage over other people, and that's why a shield nerf would be good

Also.
Shield spamming requires no skill. For reference I can shield spam (a movecrafter)
Switching to an axe and breaking the shield requires skill and reaction speed. For reference other then carb and ezo I’ve never seen anyone break the opponents shield with an axe

My honest reaction when they pull out their shield and crit me (my ping is so bad that the siege finished before my axe registered a hot)

shields are ping based. You have good ping and you can destroy anyone if you have one please nerf them

no‎

Yes

Inshallah I love shields. Shields do so much for balancing in this game that I can't really imagine life without a beautiful wooden plate on my screen all day. Sometimes in real life I wonder why I can see to my bottom left instead of there being a wooden texture in the way.

Shields balance guns perfectly, they allow players to protect themselves from explosions, shields balance situations when a player is being outnumbered and shields balance horses a lot. The only issue pvpers have with shields is that is gives bad players a way to survive a fight with them. Despite this all you have to do is carry an axe and all your woes are mitigated.

Yes nerf shields make ezoteric immovable

Neb read my comment on it any player can shield spam but very few can disable a shield. The shield meta benefits better players on low ping

Honestly nerfing shields would make life so much easier for me because I am better at pvp than the majority of CCNet players, I only advocate for it because I think it helps worse players survive. I also think it's mostly PvP recruits who will benefit from this change, which isn't something we want to encourage

Im against nerfing shields, while this would just make me more powerful

the main reason why they arent nerfed to hell (like in loka) is that people can actually fight againts good pvpers(like olpx here) and keeps ccnet fair twords the non good pvpers and encourages them to fight and play in a siege

" like main pot servers" == a bad idea for ccnet

CCnet is not a factions pot pvp server and those who aren't well versed in PVP deserve at least a fighting chance and some time to breath.

Reducing the TTK on builder1 because you don't find shields fun is not a good reason to nerf one of their lifelines, vanilla has plenty of skillful methods to bypass shields (as well as axes)

Rick with recent change of movecraft it seems its going in the direction factions, you just PVP, PVP, PVP and PVP.

My only problem with shields is ping I have around 100-150 ms during fights and it seems like shields never break with axes and have a crazy delay.

Would a good solution that pleases both sides be that we make vanilla shields useless against explosions and bullets, and make a more expensive 'bulletproof' shield that's not some godly plank from the stone age?

average non pvpers commenting about pvp suggestions ur opinion dont matter

Although I don't agree with Static discounting someones opinion because they aren't as good as you is dumb ah hell 💀

Ccnet has already copied many things of other servers kingstanchez like debuff resistance for example its not about well versed in pvp its that its simply unfair to just tell me use axes its not viable when it requires low ping im simply suggesting a counter

kingstanchez the shields do not help builders survive against pvpers the decent pvpers can outstrafe a builders shield and disabling a shield with an axe is almost imposible for anyone that isnt good hence shield spam makes pvp so boring as fights take so long just for backup to arrive so you run to a gank instead of fighting.

honestly stopping enchanted shields would work as the nerf since like 20 crits from a sword and its broken

"Simply unfair" says a lt2 pvper

Enchantments don't work on shields, unbreaking 3 has no effect.

100% cap!

Unbreaking works on shields

im personally a shield user because of my high ping and the easyness to get critted 8 times before it even registers on my screen

but i also see footage of good pvpers trying to pvp and someone just pulls out a shield and crits then hides and crits then hides, at that point their shield breaks or they run out of food before they run out of pots..

its so low skill to use a shield.

maybe make shields break faster>

disable the unbreaking 3 on shields maybe

cheers

shields are extremely ping based to the point its not even funny, but I'd rather have them stay around because it adds an interesting element to pvp. I hope there is a fix or a plugin that can fix shield lag for high ping but so far I don't think I know of a good one.
