Problem - This leads to major inconsistency during fights. Even in a 1v1 duel, you can never be sure how much damage you just did to the enemy. Right now, I KNOW if I hit him in the head x times and in the torso y times, he will die. Period. If I hit him with a variable damage swing.....I have no idea (even if I wasn't intending to drag that strike, I still get 'punished')
Wouldn't you know hitting someone with a decreased swing would be slightly less damage than a normal swing, so you know if you hit someone in the torso X amount of times and one of them is a decreased swing, you would need to do more damage? I see where you are coming from with doing it by accident and being punished though, even though I don't like dragging I don't think it will ever not be in games with free flowing combat and it would .
Thanks for actually posting some logic on the matter, usually when I bring this up it is just insults or biased views because the majority are former Chivalry ballerinas, but what you said about accidental drags and being punished for it makes perfect sense on why lower damage might not be a good idea.
I get what you are all saying and I do understand dragging, but even as a slow "release" you would be hitting your target a lot softer than what you would be doing on a normal swing. What is inconsistent is that you can "release" (lets be real, the whole swing is slower..) your attack slower and it still does the same amount as damage as a normal swing. On the other side of the fence, faster attacks should have a small increase in damage, much like a slower "release" should do less damage.
And this isn't an issue about blocking, we all get hit by drags.
I understand dragging is a part of the game and unfortunately won't go away, but is it possible to make slow drags do less damage? You shouldn't be rewarded with 100% of the damage because you made your sword swing slower than an actual swing. It should have some form of diminishing return.

So they wont launch early access? No hype then, pointless ;(
They did launch early access but you either didn't support during the Kickstarter or didn't know about it and didn't support because of that. Hopefully they sell some more keys before the end of the year though.

Every time I come on this forum I get kidney stones because of the high levels of sodium being released by the people and their whining tears of rage.
Anyone seen IT? Great film.
Just saw it tonight! Fantastic!
How good was it! Probably one of the best films of the year, so many unsettling moments.
