I mean sure, a weapon might be able to block some damage, a two handed long sword probably better than most, but there is a reason shields exist.

The narrator postulated there'd be no defensive capabilities with the two-handed sword. I'm just saying that's highly unlikely. I never said there's no reason for a shield.

Agreed.

Black Metal Shield: 78-117 Block armor, 117-175.5 Parry block armor, 50 Block force, 1.5x Parry bonus.

Black Metal Atgeir: 52-78 Block armor, 104-156 Parry block armor, 40 Block force, 2x Parry bonus.

Just pointing out that 2h weapons in this game are not really far behind the best parrying shield, and nobody really uses tower shields anyway so that's kind of a moot point.

If you are parrying, the 2h Atgeir actually will block more damage than the best parrying shield in the game.

Definitely not "no defenses" like the video says though.

Not that I needed anything to make me play more but new content is always welcome. Looking really good devs. Getting excited for it now.

Awesome!

I have a world where I have killed the first 3 bosses, been sure to stay away from any Mistlands areas on the map.

The Black Marble build pieces make me think of Dwarven architecture. I wonder if similar to the Fulings we'll see enemy Dwarves? Like Haldor, only MUCH less friendly?

Also think the narrator is wrong about the two-handed sword. Two-handed weapons DO have block power. I think the two-handed sword, while not as defensively capable as a shield (obviously) will still be able to block effectively.

To me. it explains the extended wait most complain about. I mean, they scrapped and reworked the entire Mistlands.

From the landscape, to enemies, etc,etc. This isn't something that can be done quickly.

All looks very interesting though and looking forward to diving in!

This.

I think the Mistlands will be an epic place to explore

Looking forward to the new food recipes, the boss, clothing, etc.

I'm pretty stoked for this. Exploring Mistlands on our own is going to look even better than on static screenshots.

I've already set up a new world ready to jump into the Mistlands. I'm currently setting up a world in the test branch too. This is gonna be juicy.

Nice. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Reitak!

Summery : More "minor updates" for a few more years until the devs run out of money and find they actually need to work for once. Enjoy your holiday guys, i won't begrudge you, if i were in your position who knows i might turn out to be a mooch too.
