he is sooo bad at this game :D i wish others were as bad as him :(
I can imagine if CRPG will be more popular then more people like this guy and then you can enter a room full of those and kill like 12 of them...ech could be glorious. But no all we have now is game where almost everybody have 3k+ hours in.

Ye, every time I join the server I know almost every player and those few who I don't know are new alts... Damn, I even stopped chasing peasants aka easy kills cause there's no true peasants in this game any more :(

Meh, when I started playing leveling took way longer, other people were level 45+ and it took hours of playing to get a weapon. That moment where you dismount someone from his horse, only to find out he has a 250 wpf long hafted blade when he's on foot.

New people's reaction to cRPG is always hilarious...this game truly is hard to enter at this point...there are so few "easy fights" to be had now. Lol.

Some tips and advice for your new friend:
Turn into your swings (so they connect faster and hit harder).
Stick with teammates, you're wearing scraps of cloth for armor and a rotting hulk of wood for a shield, you're not going to be able to run around and kill enemies by yourself very easily.
Get some WPF in 1h so your axe doesn't swing so ungodly slow.
Trying to be an archer, a 2h'er, a shielder, and a 1h is not a very good use of your skills, ask the community for build advice or use a character calculator
Also congrats on your first kill, think I went 200 some deaths before I got my first kill.

It's easy to forget how unintuitive Warband is, right up until you watch a new player flailing all over the place trying to land a hit (only to glance when he does).

That was great, so many memories come up.
I think the game is rougher for newer players than before (but not before the big patch), just because as mentioned several times already there are very few players these days who are legitimately new. Back when I was on this guy's level there were many people like me, so it was exciting flailing at each other to try to come out on top. We also had the added benefit of always having Deafening Flood in the duel server, ready and willing to teach the core basics to any of us new players. Now when I go to duel I sometimes see newer players trying to learn their basics, only to fight against someone who thinks they have to unleash their love, anger, and all their sorrow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFo0_nYPLmQ) against every single person they fight against.
Anyway without Deafening active anymore this is still the best way to teach your friend the basics of the game:

That, and as Huseby said - run with some teammates...find someone good on your team and watch their back.

cRPG isn't like the native bullshit,it actually need skills and time to improve compare to other games too.Its a fine mod that is more like a stand alone game even if it isn't,yet. :)

Just actually watched this with audio - epic.
I think a couple people have mentioned this but - does he have any wpf in 1h? Seems awfully slow.
Also, so much of this game comes down to timing...something that takes many hours in game to master.

He wouldn't let us tell him what to do when he first started playing so we told him just to do what he thought seemed fun. He went all out I guess and I got his build out of him the other night. It was something like 15/??? 5pd 4ps 5pt 1shield 1HA 2WM or so and I can't remember what else he had. His proficiency was like 100 archery 54 throwing 6 1h and 4 2h. I have no idea how he made that or why. Think we've convinced him to respec to something more specialized and that he enjoys, but he said that he doesn't really enjoy anything yet
Title: Re: Just thought I'd drop this here
Post by: CrazyCracka420 on August 16, 2013, 10:11:18 pm
Yeah he needs to become way more specialized in his build...that's problem number one, then he can start getting into the gameplay mechanics and trying to learn that.

New players should start at level 30 as a 1H/Shield 18/18 char (complete with mid tier equipment) and they should also get 1 free respec that disappears after 1 week or at level 31.
This way - players that just join a server straight away without knowing about the website can play properly from the start in a class that has good survivability - once players find the website they can switch class and start messing around with builds but they will have seen the basic shielder build to give them an example of what a decent build looks like - players don't have to retire or play at low level unless they want to get on the loom ladder

Yeah at this stage in the game (what 3 years, or almost 3 years into the mod), starting someone out at level 30 with decent gear isn't going to hurt. As long as it's their first char on the account, and not some veteran's new char they created.
I think it would be a great way to get people to stick with the mod. And they'd still have 4.5 million XP to retire at 31 (first gen grind is always the worst)

Love watching old crpg videos and seeing how different it was. More populated... players who don't play anymore... players who do play but suck / are in funny clans...etc. We really need a larger community again. Crpg nowadays is just dull.
