I got rid of ninja stuff. Can I join? I am a beginner, twohander, lvl 19, current build 15/12.

I believe you can. But just wait for a confirmation from someone more high-ranked than me.

Smiley faces, Western or Anime styles will get you banned on most NA servers.

Western: :O :[ :E

Anime: ^_^  -.-   ='.'=

These are just a few examples of the different styles.

Edit: done and done. Debate to your hearts' content.

Thanks.

Well, you can't use the JetPony with decent armor. It makes up for it anyway as it enables any noob to avoid everything, but it's cost is higher than a complete archer set lol (21982 gold). My example build is a 1h cav, that had to be also usable as a footman. So he got a medium armor. I can't afford anything higher anyway. And please correct your post, I never spoke about plate or flamberge or anything in that price category.

You should watch the few ninja clan members still playing more. They don't do fine when they can't backstab. They usually make up for their light armor with excellent blocking. A guy in heavier armor can also block very well. But ninjas are fucked up when it comes to ranged threats.

Sorry but by "you" I did not mean really you.
I meant people overall that believes having full plate and a high-end weapon is a must for a infantry otherwise your dead.

I know that not all ninja members are the best. I'm just saying there exist people that can do fine without any heavy gear. And some of them happened to be ninjas(or you notice them the best, isn't that irony since they are supposed to be ninjas?).
For example we have all seen Poop, Polepoop that is, (I believe it was him atleast) sometimes running around naked and still do great.  And he's not alone at that.


I'm just saying that just because you're a infantry or cav does not mean you are forced to wear high-end gear just to become decent/good.

Lol !

Get your head out of your ass. Seriously.

The only thing you need to pay for is your bow, and a little for arrows too :

11100 for a warbow, which is the most expensive. Nearly all archers use that one, so there's plenty of archers using the most expensive equipment they can. There's no other class that can do that.


Now let's see a realistic cavalry equipment :

Courser 19818
Knightly Arming Sword 8944
Heraldic Mail with Tabard 7170
Open sallet 5645
Knightly Heather Shield 4328
Splinted Leather Greaves over mail 1817
Mail mittens 1376

An half decent cavalry loadout is 3x the total price of your archer equipment. Take a very bad horse and you can push it to 2.5x. A decent infantry loadout is roughly 2x more than the archery equivalent. When you want to survive to projectiles a little longer, you can easily add 10k.


So yes, money exchange between alts would certainly make up a little bit for the serious class imbalances caused by upkeep (see the numbers above).

Depends on what you call a "realistic equipment"
On my cavalry character I use Rabati, Sarranid Leather armor, Leather gloves, sarranid leather boots
with a Arabian arming sword, round cavalry shield and a heavy lance.  And a courser, sometimes Sarranid warhorse, or arabian is it called now?

And it goes great on that character. income is no real issue.

When it comes to infantry is the same deal. Why do you believe full plate with Flameberge or whatever is a must?
We can see ninjas and other characters using leather & cheap mail doing fine.

if you dont have a main character yet, use the "skip the fun" feature on the character website, and just keep trying different class till you find the one you like

You can do this if you're uncertain of what you want to be. If you already know what kind of type you want to be then I suggest you look on another threads that tells how you should choose your stats and so on.
I'm not saying you should follow them all the way. But only so you know the basics of what you should get and what you should not get.

For overall tips & help can you find the link posted by Joelturuz.


My only major tip is that.
Don't buy too expensive gear early on.
While in the beginning phases do you want to still gain plenty of gold so you can buy all your gear you need.
So don't buy something really expensive early since that will slow your income down.
You should rather make a full set of basic gear. i.e full leather a weapon worth 2-5k, and so on.
Then you just play with it. And this gear should be enough to be decent. Later when you have more gold so can you switch to mail if that's what you wish.

Machine name: THEMONSTER

oh you.


Anyhow.
I'm having a similiar issue. But mine is due to respawns. On battle servers do I always get a small spike lag at the start of the match. Due to everyone respawning.
On siege servers I have minor lag here and there when there are people respawning. But obviously not that big of lag since it's only a few people respawning.

Uh.. How can you say that now, over half a year from Skyrim release? 

Arrived a bit late but ;

That is easy, it is Elder Scrolls V and all vanilla versions of Elder Scrolls were crap (well Morrowind was not that bad, but still no rpg masterpiece).

Said it well.

Not to mention that from what we've heard from Bethesda so far does Skyrim seem even worse when it comes to "RPG" terms.

I'm not saying the games are bad. I enjoyed both The Witcher and Oblivion(In this case, since Skyrim isn't out yet) They are both quite good series.
But in terms of RPG aren't they so great.

Library>The Witcher 2>Install
Space required, 16gb.
Servers are too busy to handle your request.

This may take a while

You can change your download region to somewhere else. Like Ukraina, Korea and so on don't have alot of pressure, thus you can download there.

But if you take a location too far away from you, i.e Korea if you're European/US then the download speed will be quite low.
You want a location quite close but that does not have many users.

Nah, it will be Skyrim for sure... Just the amount of sales will be like ten times higher...

Skyrim nor Witcher 2 does not deserve the title. None of them are really good when it comes to the RPG part.

This name is not actually the name I go by when it comes to online forums and gaming. I just happened to name my character it.
Thus I thought it would be the best to use it on the forum also.

However. The name itself is more or less borrowed.

General Off Topic / Re: How to stop internet lag spikes (Need help) Windows 7

« on: May 11, 2011, 07:55:56 pm »

Most people would blame the wireless. Since it's usually the cause.

But anyhow. I am not experience with that type of model you are using.

But minor questions :
Do you use alot of other wireless things near your computer or the router?
i.e wireless mouses, keyboards, headsets, etcetera.
Do you maybe even have a TV receiver or similar close? Or other equipment that uses wireless?

Because wireless equipment tend to intercept each others signals, thus making them a bit slower, and in worst cases not work at all.


But. If you try using wired? Put a wire in your route and to your computer.
If you can that is.

So can you check if the lag spikes disappears. If it does then it's obviously the wireless/router and not the internet itself.

One thing that has been troubling me is that I find many of the players in wfas suck in melee without a shield, I've met around three players (outside obvious crpg guys) who knew what the block button was - and only one of those who attempted feinting. I ran around with a few crpg guys and had some fun for a while with pistol+pike 
It's a nice change of pace.
