Time to troll! - An In-depth guide, by Cookie

Troll sprinting made them just as fast as normal players, the slowness had no effect.
Slowness was therefore reduces by 2 levels, and sprint removed.
The 'one archer can beat them' thing is redicules, only a god-archer like MD_K47 can, others still can't.
You just grab a rock and toss the archer it, they will catch it (with their head!)

Also you can still dodge, trolls were supposed to be strong and slow, previously they were only slow.

They now actually need skill to be OP, which is what we originally wanted.
 
After michalpatryk continuously complained to me about them being weak, I tried it and easally got two 10+ killstreaks in less than 10 minutes. (Yes, including several archers.)
Fact remains they're still way stronger than other classes, maybe not as OP as before, but that's because they require skill now.

Nope, they were a bit slower.

Nope. You can't get a quick burst of speed to dodge it, which is for some people very irritating. Also, archers can stay out of range, and hit you when you get the rock. And don't forget the fact that he can lay constant harass on you, poking you down, while his teammates come to help him..

Previously, they were perfect, only maybe a bit less damage or more slow, but that was it.

Only if not sprint jumping, which they always do.

Trolls are slow, they can't 'dodge' arrows. It's like aiming an arrow on the middle of an oliphant and expecting it to jump away in time. Too big, easy target, high durabillity, that's a troll.

Thats my whole point, slowness barely effects them if they can sprint jump..

1: Remove jumping
2: High durability, nope. They die quickly if you 3/4 draw the bow like MD does. (And a lot of other players too)
3: Remove jumping
 
If i can't figure out how to connect to minecraft (using aberystwyth IT services to open a port) then it will be "They die quickly if you 3/4 draw the bow like MD did".
I never thought trolls were that hard (well some players are always hard), the sprint jumping was annoying if you being attacked, but it was also very useful if you were playing as a troll trying to get somewhere quickly.

I used it to quickly get in range of the archer and slab him in the face, but I can't do that now.
 
I thought it was ok at first but i cant even get close to anything except soldiers because everything runs away and i cant chase them. I think sprinting should be readded because, unlike now, in the movies the trolls could get into melee range with enemies.
 
I still think adding hearts to it with the new effect would work well. Less resistance, more initial health. Last longer in an engagement and take longer to recover. The lack of sprinting makes up for lasting longer in a fight.

I am going to try out the troll class for myself in a moment, will edit in my thoughts after I have.

EDIT:
Uh... I can sprint? Am I out of the loop or... what?

I ain't opped. Do you have any idea what causes the effect? Like what method is used? And, is it on a specific map?[/quote]
Well, Either a malfunction in the coding, or it prob just needs more work if it just added that trolls can't sprint
