Suggestions Corner / Repair and Throwing Weapons

« on: January 09, 2011, 01:07:09 am »

Using 3 heavy throwing axes = 15k upkeep for 12 ammo weapon (that can double as a 1hander)
Using 1 good 1h weapon = 5-10k
Using 1 good 2h weapon = 7.5k-15k
Add in a shield (which 2h don't use), and throwing axes (or any throwing weapon) are horribly inefficient for their upkeep cost. I can at most get 3 kills with 12 throwing axes, and that's if my 150 throwing skill is enough to land the axes where I want (which is not often).

Suggestion:

Increase ammo per throwing axe (and other throwing weapons)
OR
Add diminishing returns on upkeep for throwing weapons (1x throwing weapon = 100% cost (5k), 2x of same throwing weapon = 50% cost of second throwing weapon (so the total repair worth for 2 slots of heavy throwing axes are equal to 7.5k), 3x of same throwing weapon = 25% cost of third throwing weapon (so the total worth of 3 throwing weapons is 8.75k)) this method is a little convoluted but I think would be best, as it would reward "pure" users of throwing weapons (like me) and not make them so expensive to maintain

Because as it stands, I'm stuck using 3x Francisca + a shield because that's all I can afford, unless I get a really lucky 5x streak. I'm considering switching over to just using a decent 2h weapon - because that kind of play is being hugely rewarded with the cheapest repair costs.

General Discussion / Connection to Server Is Lost

« on: January 07, 2011, 12:14:52 am »

I haven't tried playing since the update.

First I extracted to my cRPG module with the update. Upon loading cRPG, I got some errors, so I deleted the whole cRPG module folder and re-downloaded the full 2.001. I extracted it and still got an error. I downloaded the small change file in the announcements thread and inserted that into the new cRPG module folder. I no longer get any errors, but whenever I try to connect to a server I get "connection to server is lost" - none of the cRPG servers will connect.

My internet works fine (though the EU servers I'm trying to connect to have 150 ping).
My character page seems fine (though I lost levels like everyone else).
My Warband is up to date. cRPG worked swimmingly prior to the huge change.


I'm sorry if this is spammish but there should be a tech support forum or something :x. Anyone have any suggestions? Encounter this problem before?

Suggestions Corner / New patch and gold

« on: January 04, 2011, 07:00:56 pm »

If gold is going to be a little easier to obtain.
If items are going to cost more as a result.

This is basically inflation.

So logically speaking, existing gold in a player's account should be increased. If I have 10k gold stockpiled, I should at least get some equivalent amount added to this, to account for this inflation. Otherwise, you're basically forcing me to buy items, since people aren't going to be punished for having black armor already, even if they payed "less" for it.
