General Discussion / Well, Look Who Came Back
« on: September 27, 2015, 06:49:20 am »
"[H]ello!"

It's Screaming Idiot, returning after what I think is over a year of absence from playing cRPG. If you don't remember me, I was that one guy who did portraits of the cRPG characters of forumgoers for absurd amounts of money. Looking back now, the drawings I did here are way less cool than the ones I do now, but I doubt I'll be able to produce requested portraits nowadays since I'm busier with work and my own artistic pursuits. Still, it's nice to see how far I've come since.
I any case, the main reason I left a year ago (if most of you didn't know) was due to the fact that my terrible 2007-era PC bugged out and quit cRPG due to connection problems (which have since been resolved). I've been on and off playing several different games (including a few mods for Warband), but I've been silent ever since walking out of the melee forums.
I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to jump back into this sperg-infested mod again, but still, I'd like to say "[H]ello!" to a few old friends and familiar faces.
In any case, I'M BACK BABY

General Discussion / The Great Turning Point
« on: September 25, 2014, 04:29:00 pm »
As many of you know, cRPG has been on the decline for... Like, a long time. Except now that is becoming more apparent as NA continues to have less and less people at primetime (NA1/NA2/etc), while EU shows even more inactivity. Certain issues (HA, 1H stab, Pole animations, Cav exploits, etc) remain unfixed and largely unaddressed by DonkeyCrew, while Strat continues to cause rifts between clans and players (more so than usual, at least).Neither is necessarily bad, but both present a different aspect to the mod in the coming months/years.

Bannerlord is starting to rear it's magnificent head in the field of medieval combat games (which will also likely replace cRPG and other mods of the previous game), while a new DLC for Warband is likely to add some new, interesting concepts to the somewhat dated game.

We are reaching a turning point in this mod. Wether cRPG will endure it's present issues and remain alive and kicking or if it will finally settle to a relatively inactive community with a few vets holding out, I don't know.
I would like, however, to listen to the input of everyone in the community about their opinions and what we can or can't do to keep this mod going or if we should let it fade away, or perhaps if things are just gonna stay the same perpetually.

So... Thoughts?

Beginner's Help and Guides / how 2 git gud
« on: July 25, 2014, 09:47:54 pm »
So I've always been really bad with cRPG and  I haven't found anyone willing to practice with me for some time. I suck dick, literally and figuratively in this game, and would like to remove the latter by staying under the wing of a good clan for a while.

So, suggestions? If I like the clan, I can make nice donations to their bank and armory due to the large amount of shekels I possess.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Flamberge build
« on: July 16, 2014, 05:32:32 pm »
Can someone post the best Flamberge build they have? This is something I've always wanted to do in cRPG, but I really haven't yet because I still need to GIT GUD.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Is XBow finally viable again?
« on: July 10, 2014, 04:53:59 am »
Been seeing a lot of Xbow users on NA1. Is it finally viable again? If so, can anyone suggest some builds they have seen in use or think would work?
Archery is nice and all, but you can only get so much shooty shooty pew pew before you begin craving that true marksmanship again. XBow/Shield hybrids also welcome.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Good equipment and weapon/WPF for high PS build?
« on: June 09, 2014, 11:52:16 pm »
Using a nice high power build but unsure of what equipment/playstyle to use. Currently using it as a swashbuckler (1h no shield).

Beginner's Help and Guides / 1H SWASHBUCKLING IN THE ARABIC SEA YARRRRR
« on: June 03, 2014, 02:07:45 am »
So I've been using this swashbuckling (1h no shield) build on my new alt, Peroch_the_Persian_Pirate:
(click to show/hide)

Using the Arab Cav Sword w/light mail and I've got to say, I like it a LOT. Versatile, challenging, AND effective. Not too expensive too, considering all the other equipment I could be using.
Haven't gotten around to trying out the other long, bomb 1handers (Spathion, NCS, KAS, Para, etc.) but I do enjoy the high cut, useful stab, good speed, and decent length.
"BUT WAIT" you may say, "WHAT ABOUT THE ITALIAN SWORD/LONG ARMING SWORD/SPATHOVAKLION?"
Well, first off, NO, second, too mainstream and I don't like them at all. Well rounded but... They don't particularly "shine" on any aspect compared to other high tier 1handers.

... Oh right, the thread. Please dump suggestions for 1h I should use (BESIDES ITALIAN FALCHION/GROSSES MESSER BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE ARE CLASSIC SWASHBUCKLING SWORDS) and what armor I should use to most closely resemble a Persian/Middle-Eastern pirate of sorts.
Any other build suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Beginner's Help and Guides / 1H Weapon Suggestions + Secondary Mode Discussion!
« on: May 16, 2014, 07:04:39 pm »
Been trying out several 1Handers on my Horn Bow/1H hybrid. I've compiled a small and humble list of the ones I've liked so far, as well as those I'm thinking of using:

(click to show/hide)

Additionally, I was wondering on the secondary modes of 1Handers, both switching from 1H to 2H moveset and changing the attack type (cut/pierce, blunt/pierce, pierce/blunt). I am looking for suggestions on which weapons have good and ACTUALLY USEFUL secondary modes, and could anyone tell me if it is better to use 1Handers with 2H mode than other 1Handers? Also what about the 2H mace or other 1 slot poles?

Oh, and general weapon suggestions for an archer/hybrid are appreciated, thanks.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Armor suggestions (Archery Build) + Accuracy question
« on: April 27, 2014, 03:13:18 am »
So I've been using this Archer/1h build:

(click to show/hide)

And it's been working pretty well so far. However, I'm not sure which armor is best for a build like this (considering movement, PS, accuracy, draw, and other bow gimmicks) and I'm a bit divided on what weapon to use. I've read/posted on another 1h arhcery board but I'm still not entirely sure on what to use (considering Grosse Messer, Scimitar, Elite Spamitar, Spathovaklion, Broad Short Sword, and Long Arming Sword so far).

Additionally, I have about 160 wpf in Archery and about 100 wpf in 1h. How should I divide my point so I can aim well and shoot fast with my bow while being able to use my 1hander effectively in battle?

Thanks in advance.

Beginner's Help and Guides / I Need Help!
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:31:34 pm »
So.

I've never been good at cRPG since I began and up to this point. I get seriously frustrated while playing because I feel powerless and useless despite all my attempts at improving. Nothing seems to work, and I have seriously considered leaving this game many times.

However, the great community keeps pulling me back, along with some gems here and there along with the sheer diversity and customization of this game. I want so badly to get good, but I don't know what to do.

So.

I need to swallow my pride for a moment...

And say what I should have said a long time ago...

Here goes...
