General Discussion / Cruel, cruel Fate...

« on: July 11, 2011, 12:51:49 pm »

So, I was playing last night around the time when the patch was being implemented, and like a lot of people, found myself sporting someone else's gear.  I take a look at what I have available, and decide that while it's not what I would choose to use, I can make due with it, and I really wanted to play a bit before bed.  So I hop into the Pecores DTV server and start smashing some peasant skulls, when wouldn't you know it, I get the GD chadztext.  WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S GEAR! I've been using my same armor for 5 gens now and haven't once seen the blessing of the creator, but I play for 10 minutes with some random crap on my body, and that's the moment the divines decide to tell me I feel more at ease in my armor.  Is the world trying to tell me something? 

This is more of a rant than anything, but I just thought some bitching that wasn't related to "how much the patch sucks"  would be refreshing on this gloomy morning.  Up for discussion, did anyone have any interesting experiences playing with someone else's gear?  I heard one person laughing that the gear they had included a Lordly women's headdress.  Any funny heirlooms get thrown your way?

Beginner's Help and Guides / Ranged points

« on: June 05, 2011, 06:09:15 pm »

Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether weapon proficiency points affected crossbow and bow damage as well as accuracy and reload time, like it does for melee weapons.  Thanks.

Scene Editing / New Battle Map

« on: May 14, 2011, 05:47:45 am »

Hey guys,

This is my first attempt at a multiplayer battle map...well, really a map of any kind.  I'm really just looking for some feedback here.  I've intended it to be a sort of inner-city map with a lot of variety to how it can be played out. I think I've allowed enough room for cav to be able to operate on most of the map, though it clearly isn't an ideal map for cav.  Archers have some great vantage points, but some area's of the map make it impossible to get a clear shot at, and the best vantage points have multiple approaches, making a sneak attack very likely.  Infantry have some great open area's to fight in, ass well as alleys that make hit and run tactics a lot of fun. Overall, I think it should appeal to most players without giving a bonus to anyone.  The castle has entry's in the front and on either side, and the rooftops have plenty of cover and at least 4 approaches, so camping it isn't necessarily the safest place on the map.  It is also equidistant from both spawns, which are the keeps on the left and right side of the map.  Anyways, let me know what you guys think!

Scene Editing / Help with Plants

« on: May 13, 2011, 04:33:38 am »

Hey all,

I'm working on my first MP map, and I've run into an issue.  I'm using the C-RPG Scene editor to create my map.  My issue is that random plants and tree's have spawned all over my map, and some of them are in places that they just shouldn't be.  I can't select them to remove them.  I've heard tell of a "vegetation" slider, but I see no such thing.  I've searched the forums but can't find anything that helps. Can anyone tell me how to strip my map of all the auto-placed plant-life?  +1 Awesome bar to the first person to solve my dilemma!

General Discussion / A Shout-Out to the Noble Birdcall...

« on: April 07, 2011, 07:49:59 am »

Hello all,

First thread start, been playing for about 6 months now.

I'd like to draw everyone's attention to something you are all keenly aware of already.  I know that sounds redundant, but hear me out.

You've heard it from the start, the moment the countdown hits 1 it begins like a chorus.  You heard it all the time on Naked Mike day, and every time a female character runs out of money, you're bound to hear it at least once or twice.  X+Q= it, and by it, if you hadn't already guessed (one must make allowances for those of us with brain tumors), is the noble whistle.

I know you all hate charging valiantly into battle, hair blowing in the breeze, sun beating down on your glistening armor in all of it's glory as you charge headlong into glorious battle (or perhaps you're just peasant rushing with your pitchfork, Mr. "I retire every week"), and that moment comes crashing down as an arrow or bolt or throwing star to the head knocks you back into the helpless ranks of the free-cam freeloader.  And it makes you hate the ranged weapons, fills you with a rage you haven't felt since jenny-jiggle-jugs spurned you at the high-school dance, and you swear to god and everything that is holy under the sun that you will bring down a wrath upon those archers the likes of which Genghis Khan  would blush to witness.  And that's all well and good (in fact we could all stand to harbor a little more wrath).  But you must remember one eternal, redeeming fact; you have archers too

So remember the next time you're preparing to meet the incoming hoards of the damned, saber in hand, and you notice one of the legion of evil making a beeline towards one of your very own archers, to shout out a whistle.  It only takes half a second.  X-Q...that's all it takes to save a life.  And when that archer lands a head-shot on some unsuspecting SOB that sends the poor bastard into a spiral of whining and swearing which ends with a rage-quit, you can smile glibly to yourself, confident in the knowledge that this time, that one is half yours.
