bodkin arrows.

There's your problem right there. Multiple stacks of bodkins results in quickly loosing money unless you can maintain a good multiplier (x4 or x5).

I always try to take arrows according to how long I'm surviving on that day.

Short lives or low multi - I take 1 or 2 stacks of tatar arrows
Medium lives or multi - I take 2 stacks of tatar or 1 stack bodkins and 1 stack tatar
Long lives or high multi - I take 2 stacks of bodkins

With this I pretty much stay even on upkeep to pay (a very slow gold gain)

Have you tried a STF with 20 WPF? I'll make one with a guess at a typical build after patch if you want and we can duel lol

It seems pretty tight to have only give 20 "free" WPF, without doing any testing if I would have picked a number I would have given 50 (as that's what you can currently get at 1 WPP per WPF).

I wonder how much/what testing Tydeus etc did before choosing this as a base value.

Should never punish players for something like that.

For making a ridiculous build which is clearly just exploiting a stupidly OP weapon?? It's not like it was one guy running around. People knew what they were doing, they made their bed. Besides it always seemed to be alts/STF so it's not like it would have cost anybody that greatly if it was nurfed without a respec, especially after you consider the amount of gold they will have generated by playing with almost 0 upkeep.

Though tbh I blame you/other devs for including it at it's current stats for so long, not the players. People will always exploit any game mechanic they can to get an advantage. It should have been nurfed hard and fast after seeing it in action. IMO all updates/patches should be given a week or two then reviewed and adjusted as necessary. Then again maybe it's not the roundel daggers fault, maybe it's shields not requiring strength which allowed them to have such stupid yet successful builds. Either way, you're the item balancer and I'll leave it up to you. 


Anyway, thanks for keeping us updated with the current plans

chadz just confirmed we will in fact be doing full character respecs for everyone.

Would be interesting to get some statistics on the percentage of player that do a full change to a completely new build/class, those that do a partial change 3/6 attributes and those that keep their current build.


Personally I'm going to keep my builds very similar but fix the mistakes I've made on pretty much every character (Even my "main" is a broken build due to me leveling further than I was planning, I've had a spare attribute and skill point throughout level 34).

Though it's pretty upsetting to hear all the roundel dagger  ***** builds won't be punished by it being nurfed.

were all getting free respecs, so for once nobody can cry

(click to show/hide)

but they will...

What about the last few people to buy a respec for millions of gold?

Realism Discussion / Re: Rain should slow down ALL projectiles

« on: November 16, 2013, 12:33:07 am »

No, just stop rain slowing arrows and bolts.

Rain and fog are stupid features and should be removed from the game or reduced severely.

Why should a ranged play join a strat battle to find there's rain and their going to be less effective but melee are basically unaffected.
It's a game features like this and night time should only be used on maps built for them, the rest of the time it should be sunny blue skies.

Suggestions Corner / Re: Commander Chat for cRPG - Poll inside.

« on: November 14, 2013, 05:31:37 pm »

seriously, there's no way to mute this?

Come on, there's meant to be a patch/update coming soon anyway. Just add an option to mute command chat.
(Or at the very least make it so muting a player mutes them with command chat)


Also the polls are F'ing annoying please make it so you can only apply to be commander once per map.
And yes I know you will just say notify an admin of anyone spamming the command poll, but I come on this game to play not to talk to admins and bitch about other players.

Added some native armors and boots. Vermilion should in theory be able to see the Woolen Hose as boots now, because they also don't have a spec or normal map.

Yeah, Woolen Hose show on my laptop.

~55% armors done, nice work

Haha, wouldn't that be hilarious. No, he's just making new characters. Ummm... You are aware you can have multiple characters per account, right?

But you can't accept your own trades (which I believe would have been implemented to stop people being able to bypass the new character/STF gold non transferable)

So if this is one person, he must have one account which he plays with and another which makes lots of alts.

TBH I don't really care how long this takes to implement it doesn't effect us from being able to play now (not like when siege equip was bugged and it was messing with strat). We can just continue to play as normal till this is released.

Thanks for giving us the new formulas before releasing the update so people can update the build calculators and mechanics threads.
(I hope they are working on that rather than just complaining how long it's taking to get a patch)

Would be great if you can keep updating the OP with the new formulas for throwing and archery changes etc.

I think that whole idea to this patch is to force players to retire and change their builds. Because of strategus, everyone is high level and in strategus everyone wears plate which means that massive strat battle lasts longer and gives insane amount of XP. With more agi oriented builds, we'll have less plate in strat and battle will last shorted therefore giving less XP.

Really? Did you even look at the requirements before making this post?

Gothic plate and Heavy Plate armor only require 15 strength.
Which means at level 30 you could have a 15:24 build with 8 WM & 8 athletics.

This will result in people being faster in plate with less HP, this means you will be able to kill more in the same period of time (ranged will be more effective due to people having less HP on average and people who stick with strength builds will only need a couple hits to kill people in plate). This will increase EXP not reduce it.

Also strat battle time limits are controlled by the number of tickets not the equipment so even if people did start bringing less plate (which most if not all factions will have already bought), the battles would last the same length of time.

When i came back and asked for a few things:
A) old banner
B) Khudan with all nessary tasks included
C) being the diplomat(not even the leader of the Wolf Pact Mercenaries)
a) was categorily denied
b) i was told it would take longer ... and longer
c) i never got an answer and retracted, when i noticed that this was your job.

Hey guys, I got a castle near the center of the map but fuck cRPG I'm done with this shit I'm never coming back (will delete my character as soon as I transfer the castle to someone else).


PS
When I come back in 8 months I demand that my castle is returned along with the troops, gear, 58 mil silver and everyone has to be my bitch and do what I say (but don't worry you'll still be the leader of the clan I left behind ;-) )

PPS
OH yeah I'm going to start a war before I leave, but I'm sure you guys will be fine
