So, a staff member suggests something that's completely game-changing, and Hampa immediately says he'll think about it. What happened to the ideas and suggestions board? Why isn't he looking at any of those? There are some super great suggestions that would be super useful that aren't game-changing at this level. Anyway, this idea wouldn't be so good. Like Toxic said, it would take away the competitive aspects of the game.
Stay away from ABD, Les. :c
Make another version of TPL like ABD and implement this idea there.

I don't like this. Where the game is currently, everyone has even ground. I feel like its ruining the one great aspects of Toribash; No advantages besides your level of skill. I think the games is great where it is in that aspect and it should not be touched.

Ok, so this thread is turning into complete shit now.

1. Fighting stances are not going to happen in the form LesDuncan talks about them. Yes, it is considered to probably add them in future versions though.
2. If or when fighting stances are implemented, they will only work in new mods and be available as a mod option.
3. They are not going to be sold. Nobody is going to make Toribash a pay2win game, we aren't dumbasses.
4. LesDuncan isn't the most credible source in terms of Toribash development. If you want to know what's going to be added, ask hampa. You are unlikely to get any answers though because if we want to announce that something is getting added in the next version, we do it publicly via Steam announcements or on forum. Thus, the way LesDuncan presented this "to-be-a-feature" is nothing more than his view of this idea.

I'm closing this thread, if you want to discuss the possibility of having fighting stances, go to suggestions board.
