Did you guys really change backfist to where it can deathblow again?
What about riposte? Concealed? Swiftstrike?
Why change it and tell no one? Or is this an oversight on code versioning due to the server wipe?

Yeah, but it's weaker deathblows that don't add that much damage.
>What about riposte? Concealed? Swiftstrike?
I think you still can't on those.

Ordasen convinced me to try backfist that way some years ago when he was running Battle. I don't remember the reasoning.

It doesn't seem to be -that- much weaker.

Deathblow backfist did not work then. Ordasen deleted in 2006.

There's a certain amount of randomness in weapon damage. I don't think it ever gets even as high as double damage near hero from what I can remember.

I have to believe you're mistaken, because I checked and it appears that I made that change on October 21st, 2005.

Because oblits is roughly double demolish, and yet a normal backfist is doing a mutilates.
I don't remember the natural range of hand attacks going all the way from mutilates to demolish, although I could be wrong.
Without seeing the code, it "feels" like it is probably doing at least double damage.

Hand to hand damage tends to vary more than most weapons in the game.

He's even admitted it.
Once.
And that's why CF crashed.

I gave you the exact date it changed; what you make of that or whether you believe it or not is up to you. I don't have any reason to lie about it.

For what it's worth (maybe nothing  ) I never knew DB hit on backfist, either, so I went through a few of the Taqab logs you posted and found this:
<479/663hp 300/397m 342/454mv 2029tnl> 8 PM civilized w
A wary ocelot bites you.
A wary ocelot's bite decimates you!
You yell 'Help! a wary ocelot bit me!'
No way! You are still fighting!
You notice that the ruin just outside the door turns black, a dark wall appearing where before there was just blasted gray rock.
You parry a cat's claw.
You step inside a cat's claw with a quick backfist.
You cannot find the Cabal Power within you.
You trample around loudly again.
Your claw maims a cat!
It looks like a possible DB at the end there. Other than that, though, you had almost no backfists in the logs I looked at. You were always wielding a staff or a sword+shield in them!

I only found 2 logs of me on qhcf.
But I did grep my pk fights last night and got no keyword matches. I very well could have done it incorrectly though. But in 50+ hours of having those skills I never found/saw/remembered it.
I will now make another rager assassin with dreams of Takashimi in my head.
(I still think something has changed or been fixed inadvertently.)
