General Discussion / Re: What do you think abut the archery nerf?

« on: January 21, 2012, 08:14:27 pm »

The problem with nerfing ranged like this is that archery is a specialization. You need to pour all of your WPF into archery to be effective at it. People bitch about archers running away, but that's because they don't generally have any PS or WPF in a melee weapon. Now, not only are you ineffectual at melee, but the one thing you're supposed to be good at is fucked. This patch makes hybrid archer classes entirely useless. Not only is the damage nerfed, but they changed the mechanics; I notice a LOT of arrows going through guys and seemingly missing the hitbox. Finally, how can you nerf something this badly and still give archers the same amount of ammo? Anything but bodkins are now essentially useless and you don't get very many of them. I could exhaust an entire quiver of masterworked regular arrows taking down a guy in heavy armor. If they don't want archery to be part of the game they should just remove it.

cRPG Technical problems / Spring Flood map crashes clients.

« on: January 01, 2012, 11:09:10 pm »

The "Spring Flood" map crashed my M&B:W three times. I got in long enough to notice that the server was empty, i.e., it crashed everyone's game. And, of course, no one can reconnect until the map is over.

cRPG Technical problems / Re: cRPGLauncher.exe trouble? post here!

« on: December 01, 2011, 04:23:16 am »

The launcher is giving me a popup that says:

Code: [Select]

Failed to create remote load library thread.

Windows API error
Code: 8
Message: Not enough storage is available to process this command.

The game does launch but then I get an absurd number of errors that say: "To play cRPG you must be running Warband Script Extender (WSE)"

Of course, I'm not allowed to connect to the servers because apparently the launcher is failing to run WSE. I've tried manually running WSE, but I get the same problem.

My cRPG installation is on a mostly empty hard drive and I have 12 GB RAM. There is definitely not a storage issue. Possible that this is a 64-bit Windows 7 problem?

Don't worry about it, good players already know this and stupid players don't learn.

General Off Topic / Re: R.I.P Dennis Ritchie

You suggested that he was only a human being, well yes he is but without this ''human being'' we would still be playing games on DOS :/

Huh? C was invented a decade before DOS and it has nothing to do with DOS v. Windows. Ritchie invented C, which most major contemporary languages are based off of, including C++, Java, and C#. He also contributed to the Unix OS. So far as I know he had nothing to do with DOS or Windows outside of influence.

If you're getting killed by archers too much perhaps you should:

1.) Stop making ridiculous 30/9 STR builds with plate armor. Shooting high ATH players who can change directions on a dime is much harder than shooting a slow STR build, no matter the range.
2.) Get a shield (no shit).
3.) Get off your horse or avoid archers. Cav are public enemy #1 for archers, and shooting them off their horses gives me a semi.
4.) Play as a team. If you're charging head-first into an archer nest at the start of the round maybe you need to re-think your "tactics".

This has been a public service announcement by your friendly neighborhood pussy archer.
