Title: Arbalest Line Battle Video
Post by: MURDERTRON on October 08, 2013, 03:43:09 pm
Every wonder what a line battle would look like in crpg?  Well, wonder no longer.

There is no feeling like the first volley...
Or the chaos that ensued shortly afterward.

No one would die.  Not with full plate armor.

Try with other trowing weapons, imagine javelins, knives, or axes!

No.  Hardly anyone has throwing on their mains.  If people don't die quickly enough , we won't get exp and it won't be fun.

Don't wear armor then. Call it "Gaza Strip Line Battle"

This is actually a good idea.

I didn't think the xp would be good, so I didn't sign up. But god damn, I was wrong.

It reached almost 100k per tic at one point.

NA might have trouble with their actual strat business, but they surely are able to have a nice time! EU can learn!

Fill the holes.  Make it tighter.

It's crpg, many frustrated people out there.

It was a lot of fun and a lot of xp too, good job organizing it.

My only complaint was that a lot of people took it even more seriously than a real strat battle when it seemed like the point was just to have fun. I think i heard the phrase "ban <name>" at least 150 times

I deeply regret that I could not attend that battle. I've heard people discussing line xbow formations or mass xbow armies for strat battles since the middle of last strat. It never came to fruition until now.

I'd fill your hole and make it tighter.
