General Discussion / ATTN: Defenders of Stairs.

« on: June 03, 2013, 03:52:25 am »

Hear ye, hear ye.

Henceforth any player announcing his intention to Defend the Stairs must pay a royalty of 1k gold to clan Defend the Stairs.

Failure to pay the agreed upon licensing fees will result in the immediate and calamitous collapse of one's stairs, and the dubious title of "guy who violates intellectual property rights laws on the internet."

I just watched an episode of Law and Order, and they did NOT say that this was illegal.

Pay up, suckers.

Suggestions Corner / Stacking penalties for whiffing an attack.

« on: May 27, 2013, 08:20:07 am »

Here's a simple fix that makes the game much better.

-If you completely miss an attack (hit nothing but air), you have a slight penalty to movement speed, block, and attack speed for a short duration.
-The debuff "stacks" with consecutive misses, meaning that you get slower and slower as you miss more and more.

Example:
-I'm fighting some dude. I take a sideswing at him, and I miss completely. I have 10% reduced attack/block/movement speed for the next .5 seconds. It's a slight inconvenience for a slight mistake, but nothing deadly.

-I'm drunk and I have a big polearm. I miss 3 overhand attacks in quick order, and find my attack/block/movement speed reduced by 30%. This is a noticeable penalty, so I stop spamming and re-evaluate my strategy.

-I'm a super cool dude with a big 2hander. There are a bunch of enemies in front of me. I start swinging left-right with reckless abandon, hoping to outplay some nooblord with my leet skills. After 8 complete misses, I have 80% reduced attack/block/movement speed for a short duration. It's a big penalty, and it sucks. I die quickly, and spend the rest of the round yelling in *DEAD*chat about how lucky my opponents were.

Results:
-"Slap on the wrist" penalty for a single missed strike. Shit happens, and you won't get screwed over because of a single lucky/laggy/(insert your excuse here) missed strike.
-Wild punishment for mindless spammers who hit nothing but air.
-No real change for skilled/smart play.
-Appropriate penalty for reckless/thoughtless play.

The part where I play on your ego:
-You're a really skilled player who never misses attacks, so this is a great idea that won't ruin the normal flow of your play.
-You only get killed my noob spammers/luckers/crutchers/badkids/BRs, so the game will be much better because you're much less likely to get killed by something lame.


And yes, I am posting this because I was just killed by a person who was nonstop overhand chopping the air as he ran me down

Beginner's Help and Guides / Advanced Question about Horse/Crossbow Builds

« on: May 01, 2013, 06:50:08 am »

edit: I meant to put this in general discussion. Can a moderator help a brother out?

Hi,

I've recently started playing HorseXbow, and things are going pretty well.

I'm having a little problem perfecting the build, however. I want to make sure that I am playing this class to 100% of its potential.

I'm having a problem working out the mathematical breakpoint where quality vs quantity breaks down.

Basically, I want to know if it is better to say "lol, outplayed" after every SINGLE kill? or just "lol, outplayed" every now and then?

Looking for help to play the class properly and min/max my obnoxiousness.

TY in advanced,

Johammeth.

General Discussion / Class Action Lawsuit Against TaleWorlds.

« on: April 29, 2013, 08:24:45 am »

WHEREAS Two Handed Spam (henceforth "Windshield Wiper") is the only viable way to play the game

AND

WHEREAS Successful Windshield Wipering entails rapid, erratic, hand movements,

AND

WHEREAS Such motion (Windshield Wipering) is a direct cause of arthritis.

THEREFORE

WE THE UNDERSIGNED DEMAND MONETARY COMPENSATION FROM TALEWORLDS on the grounds that the only way to play this competitive game with any degree of success is to Windshield Wipe, thereby causing permanent degenerative damage to the wrist.

SIGNED,

Johammeth.
