Beginner's Help and Guides / Advice on avoiding teamhitting?

« on: December 22, 2011, 11:31:07 am »

I come with a humble request.

In the last few evenings I've played cRPG with Cobalt, I've been getting an embarrassingly high proportion of teamhits and consequent teamkills. Cobalt is a strength build and I often have trouble stopping his weapon when it starts swinging, and enemies dance around me like Muhammad Ali. Couple that with a machine that's over 6 years old and has trouble reaching smooth framerates on the majority of maps and I have a horribly hard time trying to keep track of everything in the thick of melee.

I really don't want to hurt my teammates. Please, given that I have jerky graphics and a slow-moving character, can anyone give me advice on how to avoid hitting my teammates? I want people to feel they can depend on me, not have to avoid me because I might clot them by accident with a mallet. Thanks.

Closed Requests / Banned from EU_cRPG_7, for spawning I imagine.

« on: October 09, 2011, 12:30:10 pm »

Hello mateys. I've never been banned from an official server before so forgiv me please if I'm doing this wrong.

Just a minute ago I joined EU_cRPG_7 for a nice small-scale battle, there were four players and it had the lowest ping on my list, seemed like a good choice.

Until I got inside. Where I saw a naked guy on a horse larking about and his enemy standing still at the end of the round, the last two chaps left. Fair enough, he's inviting the other person to do fisticuffs, I thought. It went on for a while and I began to have my doubts, then the naked guy got kicked and the next round started.

Action at last!

Or not. As someone initiated a ban poll on me about five seconds after I spawned. Naked Guy had come back in by this time and together with the only other remaining player, they provided the 66% necessary to ban me.

I was doing nothing wrong, there was no server message at the beginning indicating any obscure rules I needed to comply with (if naked horse-riding with fists is kosher then I'm pretty sure I was, too), and I can only assume that the poll was for a trivial reason or to troll.

T_sgt_DevilBox is the only name I remember from the server, I see he's active in this section of the forum so I trust he will act as my witness. My player's name was Dogtanian, this occurred at about 11:25am GMT Saturday 9th October.

EU_cRPG_7 is an official server and I believe I was banned unjustly. How long does a polled ban last for, please? As I intend to play on this server in future.

Kind regards,

-John

General Discussion / Please bring back Defend the Village

« on: September 30, 2011, 10:39:37 pm »

Defend the Virgin mode is a charlie foxtrot every time, the maps are far too exposed and it's ceased to be fun to play.

Compared to Defend the Village, it really doesn't hold a candle. In Defend the Village, you had coherent teamplay most of the time and a good last-stand feel to the rounds, barricading yourself into a ruined house most of the time and holding a doorway against all odds. It really was great fun and felt superb.

Defend the Virgin lacks all of that, there's nothing to attract me to it any more. So please, bring back Defend the Village mode, it was my favourite game mode. Dont let My_Horse_Is_Called_Rebecca's comprehensive strategy guide go to waste. :-(

I offer up my humility before the donkey god.

cRPG Technical problems / Red Turret Hat does not spawn

« on: September 29, 2011, 01:56:33 pm »

So up until now I thought that the Red Turret Hat was a weird invisible model, it's the hat that Dogtanian wears and he's been running around hatless on my PC since a couple of big patches ago now. But after using a weapon rack to, the hat suddenly appears. So the model's okay, but for some reason I'm not spawning with it equipped, even though it's selected on my character's default equipment page and I have it chosen at the beginning of each round.

What is this bug? Am I wearing an invisible hat that only becomes visible after using a weapon rack, or am I spawning hatless?

cRPG Technical problems / Siege ladders = Siege shields

My siege ladders are deploying as siege shields on the battle maps. This can't be normal...

cRPG Technical problems / Update - Skill caps fixed!!

« on: June 19, 2011, 12:50:01 am »

Sooooo... After investing umpteen hours of grinding into Lexor, my ultimate shield guy, I do a bit of testing on the duel server and find that there is no difference whatsoever between shield skill 10 and shield skill 12.

At or before skill 10, I had clearly reached some invisible cap past which it doesn't improve.

I wouldn't have tried to go for a 13 shield skill build if I'd known this. -_- Rather disheartened by the discovery actually.

Please can we see the caps for skills?? I.e. If your shield skill, in real terms, maxes out at 8 points, then for god's sake tell the players on the character page so that they don't go past that figure. x_x

I had dreams of holding off the sea raiders in DTV mode forever with my little red arena shield. ;_; Now they are dashed.

If anyone knows the caps for all of the skills, please post a list. I would also like to call for them to be shown on the character page to help plan character development. Thanks.

General Discussion / Reassigning heirlooms - Are they erased after retirement?

« on: January 16, 2011, 11:00:34 am »

I've got a question that I hope one of the devs could answer, please.

I'm level 29 now and when I reach level 31 I plan on retiring, but I haven't yet reassigned my heirlooms after Fasader's peasant band struck. If I retire without reassigning them yet, do they carry over to the new character for them to use sometime in the future, or are they lost forever?

P.S. What is up with firebombs? As far as I can tell, they do nothing now. o_o
