Beginner's Help and Guides / Thrower changes

« on: February 16, 2014, 10:37:22 pm »

Well i came back to cRPG after a couple of months and noticed that i had a free respec and that stuff changed. I tried to recreate my old character but i couldn't...

Now i only have 97 in both Throwing and Polearm and i pretty much suck at both but especially throwing which is ultra inaccurate now. I understand this happens because i have low agility and that now it's a big trend and stuff but i cannot play the kind of character i want...

I think that power throw penalty lowered from 13 to 11 but i still suck. it's like 7*11=77. So i'm left with only 20 wpf plus any weight penalties that apply (i have about 10.8 weighted equipment).

Has anyone figured out how to play a proper thrower who can also alt-attack with his throwing lance without being totally useless?

cRPG Technical problems / Problem with name changing

« on: October 09, 2013, 08:28:33 pm »

I requested 2 times for a name change and paid the 2.000 gold but after some hours the request is gone and my char's name not changed. Maybe it is not an appropriate name or sth? And before you ask, yes the name is available or so it says.

My char M_Random_Throwarsz
Name requested Thracian_Peltast

Sorry if this is the wrong part of the forums to post such things

Beginner's Help and Guides / Thracian Peltast Build

« on: October 09, 2013, 12:02:03 pm »

Hey guys i'm a old member of the community and usually played a dedicated peasant archer or a polearm glaivetroll, but now i got in the mood for a themed build and so i picked the peltast. Being a dedicated archer was fun (when archers were not completely useless) and as a glaivetroll i had much fun in team mellee but also use able to duel pretty well.
Now i want a full support character. One that can throw stuff at close to medium range, do some pierce dmg in close to medium mellee range and have a shield to defend his butt.

I am about 22 lvl now but this is my plan for lvl 30:

Code: (Thracian_Peltast) [Select]

Level:           30

Strength:        18
Agility:         18

Skill to attr:    2

Power Strike:     6
Shield:           6
Athletics:        5
Power Throw:      6
Weapon Master:    6

Polearm:        119
Throwing:       118
^{using cRPG NewGen calc}

Also probably gonna use a fast spear like "spear" ^^ and a round shield. I also heard that shields over 7.5 weight cost 2 slots and i need verification.
I also gonna shieth shield for duels cause ppl just facehug me and kill me with just spamming, i thrust so slow when with shield and spear is a fast polearm 

So please advice me on how to adjust and modify this build, i will be eternally gratefull

cRPG Technical problems / Archer bugs!

I know what you're thinking. "These archers can't stop whining already" and my answer is YES I LIKE WHINING!!!!!!

I'm not gonna mention the ultra nerf my Lbow has suffered last couple of months and also arrows but i will stick to the universal ones:

1. What's wrong with the freaking hitboxes? I can't hit shit and it's not from the uber slow missile speed. Last night 2 guys were like hugging each other and i shot right between them? When was this even possible, really? Last summer you would shoot half a meter away from a guy and the arrow would be fixed inches away from his animation and now arrows just go through animations. I also think that (OP) Xbows don't have this problem.

2. I have 2 quivers, then i empty the first one with misses and team kills, then i empty the second one on random stuff, so now i have 0 arrows and try to pick a melee 1-handed weapon to defend myself. I pick it up and both my quivers are dropped....pediod. Last summer this would not happen.

3.Also when i used to pick another type of arrow, one of my quivers would be dropped. Now you pick another type of arrow (i heard ppl saying they picked the same type of arrow and exact same thing happened) and both of your quivers are dropped.

4. We can't jump and shoot anymoar! WHY?! Was robin hood better than us? Maybe i can't with a huge longbow on my hands but what about the others?!

5. You can ignore 4.

Beginner's Help and Guides / New archer trend

« on: November 19, 2011, 04:55:50 pm »

WTF is going on?!

I log in after 1.5 month and my agility longbow build is totally useless? What the fuck is going on? I keep seeing people with MW rus or yew bow owning the game. They keep their string pulled for about 3 seconds and the arrow goes in a straight line nonetheless. Maybe you should bring the old longbow glory days back? I pay 777g to repair it every time,at least make it worth it. Now that everyone has piercing damage you should make longbow a little bit useful.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Confused O.o

« on: June 13, 2011, 12:15:00 pm »

I'm a new player to Warband and cRPG. I decided to roll an archer and play as a hardcore one, that meaning no mellee weapons and stuff. I leave my life on our mellee defenders and use the slot for more arrows.

The thing is that i want to be a longbowoman but by reading the forums i got confused even more. Do i need 6PD and everything else on athletics and weapon master and agility or 8PD?

I want to be accurate AND fast AND high damage output. Can i have a balanced build between those? If I cannot, then count accuracy as the most important one and then damage and last speed and post me a build i can follow. I can't stand arrows that miss the reticle by much, if sb is to be an archer he must be deadly accurate.

And don't post comments like "roll a horse archer and live happy thereafter" cause i hate imba classes. I want to pierce the heavy geared guys with my uber awesome longbow.

(Also I heard that in clanwars exist phallanxes and arrowlike horse formations and awesome stuff like that. What do i need to join a clan and see these things live?)
