Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord / Re: Buying it or nah?
« on: March 18, 2020, 09:41:23 pm »I finally sat down and tried the beta yesterday, definitely won't be buying this one for multiplayer, if at all. The combat felt clunkier and more sluggish than war of the roses ever did. Just gotta hope that the singleplayer can make it worth it, otherwise I sure ain't buying it until some good mods drop.
I gave it a couple week attempt, but the multiplayer combat feels horrible. Not exactly sure where the problem is, but it just feels like shit. I'll be buying it for single player, but going to ignore my emotional ties to Warband and do what I would with any other game like this, gonna wait to see progress and it go on sale. Will likely only be playing for single player until mods fix the game.
No clue how it could have possibly taken almost a decade to make this game, the only thing that makes sense is the rumors that they had some sort of issue (malware encryption maybe, or servers/backups failed) where they basically had to scrap progress after working on it for a few years and start from scratch.

As someone who neglected their late 20s and early 30s in crpg, I regret nothing. Better than neglecting my late teens early 20s playing counter-strike (and other free half life mods). My only regret is fake internet heroes who stopped playing the best game ever. Getting stoned and playing crpg all night long was some of my fondest gaming memories. Fighting 50v50 was truly epic.
I always liked this quote since I read it: “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
I consider gaming to be similar though, it's more interactive than reading and much more than watching TV. You're creating your own stories and interacting with other people (albeit remotely). I did have a social life (until I had kids), but it was definitively neglected due to gaming. I wouldn't recommend being a complete recluse as hanging out with a friend or friends is good times too though. Grab a pint and do something you enjoy (even if that's just playing video games with a friend like Golden Tee/Big Buck Hunter, going to an adult arcade, etc).

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. Do mules move faster on the map than donkeys then? Assuming they don’t

That’s what I thought, but one of your posts said sumpter horses were the cheapest “fast horse”, so thought maybe mules no longer were.

So mules are no longer considered fast horses for movement on map?

General Discussion / Re: do something about ranged while crpg is alive
« on: September 27, 2018, 08:04:09 pm »unfortunately archers are a problem because the archers that play are really good at shooting. It's kind of crazy how shit crossbows, the should-be real killers, are compared to bows in EVERY way. The truth about cRPG is the mod is so small the balance decisions SHOULD be made subjectively and not objectively... meaning that something like the game's population should be taken into account when balancing. That's sounds retarded, but the truth is that a class like, you mentioned, Cavalry is less effective at low pop because people are able to be aware of their opponents because their are so few of them. Cav is difficult for me at least when it's like 10v10 or so and the other team has 1 or two archers that just murder me because I am the most obvious and easy target with such a low pop.
Perhaps some classes ARE stronger than others at different population levels and should be balanced accordingly until the game changes??>.??.?
Yeah back when servers were around around 80+ population it was easy to sneak around as cavalry and backstab and kill archers. It's a lot harder nowadays because your horse is an easy target for ranged. Throwers have always been a bane for cav too, but it's the same as other ranged, it's easy for them to pick you as the target when there's not a lot of people around.
What the fuck are you on about?
I am probably the only lancer that always charges up front, I have never quit the game when my horse died enemies resulting to my
imminent death, hell a couple of days ago you saw it, I am probably the ONLY lancer that goes head to head with spearmean, you can ask Baby head and Nord Rhaegar if I am lying and even Eldar boss.
When I die and leave EU1, its most likely because I change characters, you always trash talk when I leave, but then you are "OH HE IS BACK", my old friendot
I am way too proud to kill AFKers and late spawners, I avoid them and I even hold an upper block.
Youre just saying that shit cause
a. Youre fucking trash
b. When you respecced for a couple a days as a melee player, I fucking owned your ass and you are salty
c. I AM THE FUCKING BEST, SON.
I charge archers head on, I also will always take the 1v1 against an enemy spearman unless they have a long spear or pike. I'm not too proud to kill afk'ers and late spawners though, if they slippin I ain't trippin.

Strategus General Discussion / Re: Strategus 7 Reset/End Date - Strategus Council Applications
« on: September 19, 2018, 11:29:57 pm »Start the round with equipment heavily discounted in specific regions (ex. Arabic in the desert, Nordic in the north, horses in plains/steppe, and heavy armor near mountains) to jumpstart the action and add new strategic / roleplay elements.I like the idea of that, but it might be a major pain in the ass to code that.
Example improvements you would suggest: Faster Spawn Time [So All Troops are Used], Increased XP Ticks by 50-70%, Gain Gold/Silver Ticks for Strat Battles, Limit Time for the Type of Battles: Village [30 minutes], Castles [60 minutes], City’s [120 minutes], Trading improved or at least try to focus the game on war instead of trade. Less fiefs if possible or more varied locations. Maybe go back to one map.
I like these ideas too (and heibai saying it too) about maybe going back to one map and just have a split on the map between NA/EU servers when you cross over. Could have pirates hanging out on server boundaries
