I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but it comes to something when a new spawn can kill a clothed guy with a lit torch!
not if you're good at fighting ;)
I kinda like it, most times they don't but sometimes they do.
They could make torches break faster if used as weapon.
[QUOTE=trustinrocks;48484777]They could make torches break faster if used as weapon.[/QUOTE] They already do, you will get a max of 7 hits out of a lit torch if your lucky. Killing a naked with one will almost render it useless.

I do this most of the time and killed alot clothed players which tried to kill me on sight. Torches do alot damage.
It's a bit daft when a geared up guy has to keep his distance or even run away from a fresh spawn trying his luck or better yet, resort to his best weapon which is infact another torch lol! The torch is a tool, not a weapon. In that respect, I'm sure it does more damage than a stone hatchet!
I mean, lets be real here. It would REALLY hurt if some guy was thwacking you in the face with a piece of wood that was also engulfed in hot, continually burning fire.

The wood, yea, but fire tends to trail its fuel. so a quick thwack may not even singe your eyebrows. ever see a fire juggler catch the wrong end? they just drop it real quick. no burns. Still, torches are fine, stop trying to nerf nakeds. its bad enough for them.

[QUOTE=Thor-axe;48485270]I mean, lets be real here. It would REALLY hurt if some guy was thwacking you in the face with a piece of wood that was also engulfed in hot, continually burning fire.[/QUOTE] True but does it hurt more than a spear or hatchet to your face?
[QUOTE=trustinrocks;48486047]True but does it hurt more than a spear or hatchet to your face?[/QUOTE] stick a torch in your face..
[QUOTE=SulliG99;48485382]yeah of course it would hurt but it would break after 2 or 3 hard smashes, its an burning stick after all[/QUOTE] When you use a torch as a melee weapon while it's lit, it DOES break in 2-3 smashes. Go try it.
Torches are OP. When a little default torch to act as a big candle at night is the PREFERRED melee weapon to a wooden (or even a stone) spear, costing 300 wood, you know there's an issue.

[QUOTE=Sprain;48488937]stick a torch in your face..[/QUOTE] So you're saying a torch in the face hurts more than a hatchet stuck in your face? Both hurt but a stone hatchet is way deadlier.
