Strategus General Discussion / Nords have seen the light!

« on: November 02, 2012, 11:29:29 pm »

Hear Hear Hear!
Weeks ago I would not have thought this day would come but after several Grey Order players (and other UIF members) got baned for being multiaccounting in Strategus this is what my tired eyes see:

http://c-rpg.net/index.php?pagebattlesupcoming#!?page=battledetail&id=1173

I even read Andswaru, leader of the Kingdom of the Nords, saying the following regarding multiaccounting.

I would say most who are caught deserve it and I hope they are perma banned and consigned to crpg hell, (...)

So this battle CAN only mean one thing.
Or....Well basicly it can mean two things:

1) Either Nords are helping out their buddys saving equipment that is now stuck on banned multiaccounts. So they basicly sanction the multiaccounting of their allys and help them out of the bad situation this multiaccounting brought them into.

2) OR Nords have seen the light and turn their backs on multiaccounting cheating (former) allys to fight them in the name of all that is good!

And since we all know Nords as highly moral, fighting for the just cause and gernerally good people this can basicly ONLY mean the second option.

Thus I want to use this thread to give my thanks to Andswaru and the Nords for seeing the light and not supporting cheating and multiaccounting.
I know its hard to break with allys, partners and friends but it takes real greatness to do so - knowing you do it for a just cause and you no longer support multiaccounters and their actions!

Strategus General Discussion / As the war drags on...

« on: October 17, 2012, 08:40:49 pm »

Tired he droped down on the chair. Infront of him a mug of dark beer. He didnt even have enough strength left to wash the blood of his hands.
Around the table his brethren were seated nursing their own mugs, all of them worn out. Noone was in the mood for talking after participating in the slaughters of this day.

The door to the tavern was pushed open and Curtis -known as the sausage knight - entered wearing a cheerful grin:" 'ello guys! What a day what a day!"
"Oh damn it why did my damn mother not throwe that one in the river?!" Keech the wizard mumbeld so only the guys at the table could hear him.
That forced a smale grin on the faces around the table.
" You guys up to somethin'? Feel like finding myself some more wimps to beat up! Bursting with energy after this day!" Curtis kept on - unaware of the mood that filled the room.
"Bugger off Curtis...noone aint got nerves for talkin' to you right now." As the big brother the Wizard always tried to shut Cutris down before he could get started so the others would not just kill him one day to get some peace.

"Leave the little one be Keech...his blood is still running hot!" Faceing the Sausage knight he tossed him a coin "get yourself a brew an conserve your strenth...Scoutreports say there are mroe of them out there just waiting to ge their share!"
"'Oi! Like the sound of tha'! Free Brew and more wimps to beat up tomorrow! You make me even more happy with those good news!"
...

Thanks for the great battles this day to everyone involved on our side aswell as on the other side !

General Discussion / Warning? Why? Again?!

« on: September 30, 2012, 02:05:36 am »

Mike_of_Kingswell,

You have received a warning in regards to the message:
Re: The Annexation of Ismirala.
The diplomacy forum has its own special rules which are to be followed. Please cease your current posting activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action.

You may find the rules here: http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/important-diplomacy-forum-rules/

Regards,
The Melee Gaming Team.

This is the PM i got.

This was my post in the forum that was linked in the PM:

So your claiming lands of a faction you have a NAP with?
Your canceling a signed NAP with a faction after you signed it 4 days ago ( which - btw- was your first offical diplomatic action as new leader of the nords)?

That makes a decent first impresson! You ever thought about joining the Fallen Brigade?  We need guys that think like you ! If you ever have problems with the Nords you might want to think about it!

And I was serious about this 3.paragraph i really dont get it...can someone please explain?

€ me reading 3. part again:

(click to show/hide)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I was on topic.  Stated a question regarding the line I quoted.

Okey my humorous attempts dont have to make everyone smile but I basicly summed something up and offered Adswaru a place in the Fallen Brigade. (Offer was serious and still stands)
And i can see how this .gif doesnt make everyone smile but yet again: I was serious about not understanding the 3. part of this announcement so I asked if someone could explain it.

Whoever handed out this warning: YCould you please state your reasons for warning me so I can do better next time? Thanks a lot!

Someone seems very active in handing out warnings lately...

Strategus Issues / Strategus Archery

« on: August 21, 2012, 09:18:06 pm »

Just some things I noticed during the Grey Order vs NeutralCastle fight:

-Maybe it is just useing the longbow but i did not notice the speed buff for archery much. It was faster than normal but not by much.

-The +10% damage boost did not show up everytime a archer came close to me and did not seem to work properly? Never seen more than +20% either. And i think the range for this bonus seems to be a little bit low. Archers are not supposed to stand right next o eachother...feels too much like some kind of wierd line battle stuff.

-What is it with the accuracy? "magical winds" discribe it perfectly: Arrows do wierd moves while in flight. I shot an arrow and it did a midair 75° left turn out of nowhere. Last I knew accuracy was not to be changed by the update (right?) but there is for sure something wrong about it.

For the moment i feel like strategus archery got nerfed a little bit to hard.

Strategus Issues / AI Roster Bug (signing ppl off during battle)

« on: May 22, 2012, 09:23:18 pm »

And AGAIN ( just like I reported MONTH ago):

DRZ vs Halmar started at 20:23 (german time)
I was accepted
I disconnected at ~21:15 to notice:
I was not on the roster anymore

So i basicly fought and died 15 minutes without being in the roster and not geting the exp.

I reported this month ago already and its still the same old story

FIX THIS SHIT.
Signing up for AI is not very popular why make it even more unpopular with such a stupid bug?

Game Balance Discussion / SiegeShields and Arbalests

« on: April 01, 2012, 02:36:57 pm »

Hey guys,

wondered about this 2 balancings the last days:

1.: How come a SIEGEShield is killed soooo easy by arrows/bolts? Its a SiegeShields and it takes less hits than a Houscarls? Doesnt make much sence to me.

2.: How come naked people survive a shot to the chest with an (non masterworked) Arbalest with normal (non masterworked) bolts? Seams that the arbalest was balanced while watching the MW Arbalest with MW Steelbolts...still doesnt make sence to survive a shot to a chest if your naked.

Strategus General Discussion / AI Signs you off the roster DURING the fight

« on: February 04, 2012, 06:23:20 pm »

Happend to me in the
EU_cRPG_3   Siege   Sat 17:50   Druzhina  a:1283   vs     Senuzgda Castle  a:2953
fight.

Seams that AI changes rosters WHILE fights (at full houre)
I only noticed 20 minutes after the last full houre due to a disconnect: at rejoining i became spectator.
And i seams that i didnt get any exp for my time IN the battle (or at least the time i fought since last full houre)

Cant you FIX AI rosters after the beginning of the fight so such things dont happen again? I was actually looking forward to a good battle and some great exp in a nice siege...

Strategus General Discussion / All thy hard work chadz text

« on: January 31, 2012, 02:26:30 pm »

Inspired by Tomas' idea for an "additional crafting skill" ( http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,25202.0.html ) I thought about the chadz-Text-System a little bit:

I might have wrong informations so feel free to correct:

How it is ATM:

-"All thy hard work..." (chadzText) is totally random
-chadztext can come at any time and gives you +3 craftingskill in alll the items your wearing
-chadztext gives a -1 craftingskill in craftingskills of items your NOT wearing

So:
Does my hard work really pay of? I do NOT feel like it!
I know of someone how got the chadztext 7 times in one generation while i only got it 1 in 3 Generations. Why isnt my hard work worth the same as the other guys hard work?

Problem I see with Chadstext at this moment:

The randomness of this system makes it hard...it can hit you when you just retired and wear crappy stuff and so screw up your crafting skills with a -1 skill. You can get it even if you dont want it. And if you want it ( i do at the moment) there is nothing you can to to at least increase your chance of getting it. you cant ebven be sure that you get it in a generation.

So possible things that could be changed:

-make the chadztext not show up between level 1 and 15(?) so your lowlevel equipment doesnt screw up your crafting skills (and if you want low level items craftable in strat you can allways wear them later on)

-At least 1 chadztext per generation somewhere random inbetween level 20 and 30:
You dont know when it comes and you dont know how many others might come but you can be sure you will get at least ONE so your hard work does pay of!
If your lucky you can get more than one with the same randomnes like today but you wont have a generation without at least one chadztext.


( all level numbers are only examples and can be tweaked ;) )

cRPG Technical problems / Getting random kicks/disconnects

« on: July 20, 2011, 05:34:14 pm »

Hey guys,

Since yesterday I encounter random kicks/disconnects on crpg. It seams it doesnt matter on which server or gamemode(DTV,Siege,Battle,Stratbattle) I am, nor what i am doing.

When these kicks occure its just a SWAP to the 'create Character/join a server' screen. No "You got kicked from the server" or "Connection lost" messages.

These 'swaps' occured while I was dead, while i fought, while i walked and even when picking equipment in a strat battle...so it seams to be rather random. They dont come in regular times...sometimes after 30minutes, sometimes after 3 houres.


I played on native for the last houre without encoutering this 'swaps' which might not mean anything because 1 houre aint that long.
I already deleted my crpg files and extracted them new again. I tried playing without the bannerpack but sooner or later the swaps occured again.

(I do use the steam version of M&B WB if it might be important)

Anyone got an idea how to solve this annoying problem or what i do wrong?


Thanks
Mike
