However you slice it, reaching through a container that is locked by a key is fucking stupid. The end.
But on the opposite side of that same coin, how much functions within Sosaria based on the exact same rules as they function here on earth? It is not an insignificant portion. Just because a world is fantasy doesn't mean absolutely 100% of every aspect needs to be fantasy. Likewise, not every mechanic needs to seem foreign just because its a game. Thats a foolish design paradigm -- obscurity for the sake of obscurity.
BBEECCAAUUSSEEEE......... a katana is a sword that samurai and ninjas used very fast. And a kryss, well, doesn't even exist. The closest thing to a kryss would be a kris, which is just a ceremonial dagger not even used as a weapon. The End. P.S. Thank you for the anyways correction. Although I still like the sound of anyways better.
Kris is a Kryss, just look at the documentation for UO and you'll actually learn something. Not only that, it is an over sized dagger, not a sword. So by all logic it should be significantly faster while dealing less damage, than a katana. Making a large dagger slower than a full sized sword, is blatantly retarded. Not only that, fencing is supposed to be the faster/lower damage counterpart to swordsmanship. Whereas macing is the heavy hitting but even slower still counterpart to them both. Your logic is terrible.
I'll send pics of my original UO Guide if you like. It also shows the pitchfork being the fastest fencing weapon, short of the dagger. That doesn't make the most sense but it would certainly make them fun/useful in pvp if they were.
HAH. Actually, logic has nothing to do with my opinion. It's just because that is the way it has always been and if it were to change I would feel sad inside.
