I gotta agree here, as my main uses shields;
Their only point is avoiding archery.. but at this point one-handers have no chance versus a skilled two-hander, etc. They're too slow and they need to constantly run to follow them while the two hander is jumping around like a crazed rabbit.

Tunic over Mail --> Heraldic Mail
Heater Shield --> Knightly Heater Shield
And I got some barricade-related items.
Saving up for a construction site, what do you think?

Now that the archers are so buffed they should learn to
fire are the feet of shield-wielders. Especially those who
think they can go on just using a shield and body armor.
But yeah, back shields.

I believe a shield on the back should provide 75% protection from archers
IE: 25% damage would be delivered, except in blunt.
That would probably require some scripting, though. I still think rear-shield
protection is a great idea.

Suggestions Corner / Strategy in cRPG - Brigade Leaders?
« on: January 13, 2011, 07:06:25 am »
Today the Hospitallers made a shield wall.
Now, that might not sound quite impressive, but on the NA server it was a thing of beauty. Not even Derp's expert arrows could fell one soldier as they finally charged through well-placed barricades with little casualties.
Wouldn't we like to see stuff like that more often?
Yes, I realize we already have a "Brigade" system (If you didn't know that already), complete with Brigade orders, commanders and such.
However, I believe we can expand on these options for a much more teamwork-oriented experience that branches between guilds and clans.
First off, everyone would be automatically assigned to a brigade when they join, like mini "teams". The highest scoring members of the full team with be assigned as brigade leaders. They can issue orders to members of their brigade.
However, I also believe brigades may not be necessary at all. There could just be one supreme leader on each side, each one the highest scorer of said side.
On a side note, there should be a special poll option for "impeaching" leaders and replacing one with a specific person. There should be a cooldown for this poll, of course. We don't want noobs spamming it in desperate hope to become leader.

I rode calvary in a match...
Every death was by archer. Even the dudes with the poleaxes can't compare to them against calvary. They're even taking out some of the stronger horses with a couple of hits.
I think Cavs need a buff. We always get nerfed.

Okay, here are some for my Main, Whalen207 which is a jack-of-all-trades character. Usually not a good idea, but battles turn out pretty well for me. It's a Horse Archer, Archer, Cav and Infantry rolled into a nice package. 
Raw Stats
Level: 28
Strength: 16
Agility: 17
One-Handed WP: 71
Polearm WP: 82
Archery WP: 113
Ironflesh: 2
Power Strike: 4
Shield: 3
Athletics: 3
Riding: 5
Horse Archery: 2
Power Draw: 5
Weapon Master: 5
Loadouts:
Archer:
- Cap with Fur
- Leather Jerkin
- Leather Boots
- Strong Bow
- Bodkin Arrows (x2)
- Long Hafted Blade
Horseman:
- Byzantion Helmet
- Green Tunic over Mail
- Leather Boots
- Mail Mittens
- Courser
- Long Hafted Blade -or- Great Lance
- Italian Falchion
- Heater Shield
When on horseback I tend to stick with the other calvary until we break the lines then ride alone, taking out archers and weaker targets with the hafted blade.
When an archer I prefer to hang back and lob arrows into backs of two-handers.

Archers are crazy good now.
As an archer, I would know this.
This might be able to stifle the huge polearm addiction everyone is getting and force them to grab a shield or some mail.

Don't complain about cavalry. We pick out the weak. We're like vultures.
However we're huge moving targets. In comparison to the stab of a pike, we're not that fast.
And now that everyone has polearms, it's a bitch to kill an archer without getting de-horsed and stabbed.
Not only that, but since upkeep and initial cost for horses is sky-high now, no one's going to bother with it. My main, a Cav character has to play 3 rounds on foot for one on a horse.

« on: January 11, 2011, 10:16:33 pm »This change is the best thing that could have happened believe me. I have a HA char and I hardly ever miss so long as I get very close to my target (just outside your spear range). My only weak spot is my horse so, imagine I could afford cataphract every single round - no weak spots unless a very skilled thrower hits me which is extremly hard cause I hardly ever get close to them. The same logic applies to other cav as well. This change brought more balance. +1 chadz
Says the Horse Archer, the only thing not to get nerfed enough
