Shields Back

2n6 over 2 years ago

I believe that shields at the moment are OP and generally make the siege experience less fun for most people, if you pull out an axe to disable an experienced shield player simply crits you in the face. Secondly even if you do manage to disable their shield a lot of them simply turn around and run until their shield is back or just pearl away.
People can easily abuse shields in 1 by 1-ns, ganks and more.
I really think that most people can agree that shields makes sieges and pvp less fun.
Shields should be reworked and changed so that they are not the meta but instead a support/utility. Raising the shield cooldown would work very well aswell, it should be If a player's shield is disabled with an axe they can still attack you while you have to wait to swap back to your sword. What is suggest is :
Only allow players to hold up their shield for a short amount of time (2-3 seconds) and then put it on cooldown.
The cooldown on using a Shield after it has been disabled should be 5-6 seconds.

increase shield cooldown yeah, you can still defend against ranged attacks anyway unless someone comes upto your face

but the shield holding for a short amount of time is too much, its hard for people with averagely high ping and I believe there should be no limit on the time you keep your shield held up, only increase the disable cooldown

Yea just increasing the disable cooldown could work very well

everyone who is downvoting is a ganker, who uses ass resistance potion in a 1 by 1 with shield that has 1 second cooldown, and most people dont even carry axes on themselfes, cant pvp on ground

I'm personally torn between this suggestion, I myself dont use shield and dont have much difficulty countering them either but I can understand how they are abused but again its a vanilla feature that I think shouldn't be tampered but then again I'm not the one experiencing it so my opinion can be discarded.

A timelimit on it's use does not sound very fun to deal with, the increased cooldown is a plausible method

Sorry, my bad i didnt say that i dont want both implemented, i only put that one just for an option.

Ok i hate shields, some people just spam both mouse buttons at once so you cant axe it nor hit the player, defo should be nerfed on this kind of server
