I'm using macro to say "Sorry for TK :-(" If you play on EU1 or EU2, you have probably seen it. A lot. :D
EDIT:
Can someone explain to me what the block is? :wink:
How do you make voice command macros? I have no idea about computer stuff...
Although this is not auto-blocker in that it does not detect the incoming attack direction and put up the appropriate block - it DOES remove half of the difficulty of manual blocking.
The skill involved in manual blocking is determining which direction the attack will come from and putting up the appropriate block in the correct timing.
What you are talking about gets rid of much of that. So if it's a question of "should it be allowed or not?" I would say it should not.
blocking with 4 different key bindings would be borderline impossible as your left hand already controls your movement.
I find it funny people think this is the difficult part, good job you guys never tried darkfall 1 where you move, aim and need to bind about 40 things for pvp.
anyway I played around on auto hotkey trying to learn how to make a macro for this, did make one that could directional block but also span the camera around like crazy, I give up. someone with know how could make one in a jiffy tho.
if someone does come up with a macro I would quite easily use any of these keys on my keyboard whilst still moving with WASD, C/V/Q/E/f/r/b/n/alt/crtl/tab
how do players macro faint? while looking at the floor.They don't. Just do a thrust-right-thrust pattern while making large circular movements with your mouse.
Isn't this essentially block by movement keys, but eradicates the use of the right mouse button?This. Have you tried that, Banok?
Kafein are you saying you don't think it removes an element of difficulty if you can just press "F" (for instance) to left block instead of making a mouse movement to do that?No it doesn't remove the difficulty. You have to press different key on you keyboard which partly binds your movement or makes it very predictable.
Don't know about blocking but EU1 is swarming with macro-feinting shitheads, they should have their hands cut off and nailed in the gates of Vienna.Macro-feints are quite predictable and easy to block if you get used to it.
Don't know about blocking but EU1 is swarming with macro-feinting shitheads, they should have their hands cut off and nailed in the gates of Vienna.You sure it's actually macros? There's a large overlap of Nditions players and EU1 players, so it's only inevitable that this style of feinting would make its way to cRPG. The 'standard' feint that pretty much everybody has learned looks like the player's head is bobbing, and like their sword is twirling (all while usually staring at the ground). This isn't difficult to pull of manually.

Yes because if you want to block everything via hitting your keyboard, it means your already overloaded left hand will need to be able to press and hold for the correct amount of time any of the four keys you will choose for blocking at virtually any time.
Also my point is, a game shouldn't be hard because the controls are bad. Failing should result from an error in your reasoning and reaction, not in the way you communicate it. For this reason, there's no point limiting people in the way they modify the controls to suit them.
So what exactly is Cyranule doing to make those ultra spammy swings that seem to completely break animations?
SaulCanner I heard some filthy rumors about you and macros.I saw this (http://forum.meleegaming.com/general-off-topic/warband-crpg-macro-feints-%28now-with-video-experiments%29/) thread, and thought to myself 'I bet I can learn how to do this well enough to get accused of macro feinting'.
CARE TO ELABORATE? :twisted:

Your answer proves that you know nothing about manual blocking....visitors can't see pics , please register or login
You dont manual block so please stop answering to blocking questions
The warband controls aren't bad. Actually, for the amount of flexibility and dynamic nature of the combat in warband its amazingly well designed imho that you only really need LMB, RMB, WASD, and MOUSE MOVEMENTS. I like that blocking manually means that even though I see the attack coming from a certain direction and go to make that block, I could mess it up because I made the wrong mouse movement and blocked down instead of left or something. It's frustrating, sure, but it's something that helps separate players and add to the overall skill curve.
