MechaTails Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) They'll never see it coming... puns are great! Alternate titles: Kronen the Barbarian They see me Kronen ======================= Figured it was about time I ran my mouth a little, hopefully I convey some good points clearly. [Views based on leveling Kronen to like Lv15 so far] •Short Range It makes perfect sense for this weapon to have short range. It's gripped in the middle, not the end like a sword. Try this, tape a long cardboard tube to your forearm so it's positioned like the Kronen. You'll realize quickly you can't extend the reach of the weapon beyond the foot it extends beyond your fist. Essentially, that's long-dagger range. If you want to be nit-picky, it's possibly short-sword range. You can also bend your elbow to slash with the part of the blade above the elbow, but that has about the same range as slashing normally, or even less. •Short Slide Attack Since this weapon was made for close range fights, it again makes perfect sense for the slide attack to be short. You slide attack into a mob and do a ton of damage to them, the short slide lets you stop very close to the mob so you can keep pressing the attack. Hell, you can keep slide attacking the mob quickly because of the short slide range, it's a great way to take advantage of the excellent slide attack damage. •They look cool, but- They're too big, and I think this is contributing to the complaints about the range being too short. When I first equipped them it was clear they were too big, but not by a lot. Maybe shrink them like 10% and they'll look about right, and they won't lose the abililty to enhance your Maleficent cosplay. •Combos Eh. I'm turned off by the 10+ button press combos, but I'll give them a try eventually. I've just been slashing away all willy nilly and they handle just fine. It's disappointing to hear that the combos miss so many strikes. Have you guys tried adding Reach and seeing if that fixes the problem? If it does, DE may have to extend the weapon's reach a little so it can combo without help of a mod, mesh size be damned. Possible solution for combo hits not connecting: Increase the distance attacks lounge you forward. EDIT: Read somewhere that turning off melee auto-targeting helps a lot, possibly because auto-target is bugged with Kronen.

thegamer118 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 reach helps me use the Kronen better, for me it was needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34LM Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 reach helps me use the Kronen better, for me it was needed Really? I wouldn't expect that too help much due to the low base range... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamer118 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Really? I wouldn't expect that too help much due to the low base range... it gives the range needed for me personnally, like the perfect range that fits the Kronen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueminator Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) +1 Kronen needs range buffs. Very irritating when your combo missed 80% of the time. On a side note, does anyone feel that Kronen look like archwing? Edited August 31, 2014 by Hueminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_Mask Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Good post! I too feel that they need a slight range buff. However, I love their model size, I don't want it smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl4ckhunter Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) kronen needs a bigger lunge imo, not necessairly a bigger range, it should thrust you more forward with each strike Edited August 31, 2014 by bl4ckhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandoran_Stallion Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think the Kronen need to be thinner and longer. Agree on the range buff, but they look too heavy and thick compared to the handle to be viable weapons, much like a Klingon Bat'leth (Which, coincidentally, I got to play around with today, really unwieldy but tons of fun).
