Beginner's Help and Guides / Question to Horse Archers: Which arrows do you use?

« on: March 21, 2012, 04:18:38 pm »

I've just reached level 30 with my HA and finally sold my loom item, so now i have enough money to buy +1 arrows. I just don't know which I should buy.
So here's my Question: Which arrows do you people use when you play Horse Archer (not foot archer!)?

I'm thinking about getting Bodkins, but I'm not sure if they are worth the extra upkeep. At least I could get them immediately on the market for ~400k, +1 Tatar arrows seem to be rare. I don't really plan on using barbed or even normal arrows, I rarely kill anything with my +1 horn bow and +0 barbed arrows.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Teams are not fair to justify a multiplier.

« on: March 12, 2012, 01:08:56 pm »

How does it work? And why does it even exist? With a proper autobalance this should be unnecessary.
I was just wondering how it works, because this morning I was playing rageball and the multiplier acted a bit weird.
First it was 4 vs 3, we scored several goals and never got a multiplier. I guess this is OK since teams were unfair, but there's no way around that with 7 people.
Later it was 7 vs 6. On the first two goals we got no multiplier, but after those we went up to x5 with the exact same teams (no players quit or changed afaik). This seems pretty weird to me.
Is this even intended or is this just buggy?

I also seem to get this sometimes on battle with teams like 33 vs 30 or something similar, not as frequent as in rageball though.

cRPG Technical problems / Bug: Invisible empty throwing weapon stacks blocking items

« on: February 02, 2012, 05:38:22 pm »

Hi,

I've noticed one very annoying bug that occurs when you pick up (throwing) weapons a lot:
Let's say I spawn with 2 stacks of Heavy throwing Axes and a Long axe. Now I throw away all my axes, so theoretically i should have 2 free slos and a Long axe. When i now try to pick up any (throwing) weapon that is no Heavy throwing Axe I'll drop my Long axe to pick up whatever I've just selected.
However, this can be fixed by Putting my melee weapon in the first slot or by dropping the last of the throwing weapons instead of using it.

I guess this also means I'm still paying repair costs even after I've used up all my throwing weapons.
This issue also accurs with arrows and, I suppose, bolts.

Another (part of this) bug is the following:
If I put my Melee weapon in the first slot and the throwing weapons in the other slots, then use up all throwing weapons and pick up anything that's no throwing weapon i spawned with, I'll drop an empty stack of throwing weapons. This empty stack can be picked up again to use the secondary mode for attack and blocking.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Question about dedicated / mounted Throwing

« on: December 28, 2011, 11:28:54 pm »

Hello,

I'm currently trying to decide what i should do with my Character. I'm on lvl 29 with about 350k exp to go.
My Build is:
21 Strength
15 Agility

6 PS
7 PT
5 ATH
5 WM
3 Shield

Polearm: 57
Throwing: 138

I'm using Throwing Spears and Lances most of the time, usually 1-3  Lances.

Now my Question:
Would it be worth getting 3 Riding with my remaining 3 Skillpoints? Or should i just wait until i can retire and get more riding + HA next gen? It would even be enough for me if I could only use the secondary mode of the throwing lances properly, though i have no idea if 3 Riding, 6 PS and 57 Pole WPF and a Rouncey or Palfrey are enough for that.
If riding is not worth the points I might go for 1 PS and 2 IF or 1 PS and 2 Shield (more likely 2 Shield).

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
