If you're willing to suffer through the peasant stages like all the other beginners, you'll find that it really does add depth to the game.
I hope the dev(s) are taking feedback.Somebody give this guy a bunch of heirlooms so he can immediately own everybody. NOT.
Well new guys, STF was put in place for newbies to learn.. I have my doubts though.
Eventually you will want a real character. You will be a peasant. Your mission is to be useful while being nigh useless. It is funny, but many unsung heroes are peasants who valiantly throw themselves in harms way to protect a team mate and actually cause the lynchpin event of the victory. And sometimes you just get squashed.
It is a complicated game, and a complicated mod of that game.
It's the RPG aspect of it. I do think it was more fun being a peasant in the old version though. In the old version, you had to stay near the fighting AND stay alive to get xp and gold. It was intense and fun.
Now when you start as a peasant you get stuff by not doing anything, which I think is a mistake, but whatever.
Still, you can kill people as a level 1 if you have a bit of luck and know what you're doing. You can start really racking up kills with only 12 str. All you need is a blunt or piercing weapon. Blunt and pierce work a lot better against heavier armor than cut weapons do. Also, archery REALLY sucks until about level 25 or so unless you have a lot of experience in it.
The game itself is super-fun and if you're quitting before you've even been in a strat battle you are really missing out.
Argh...this makes me cringe. You could be wearing plate and have whatever weapon you want and there's a lot of people here who could beat you using peasant gear. That's not me being an ass, that's the truth.
Player skill is FAR more important than gear.
Most of the people who play this mod have been playing for a long, long time. They happen to be very good at it.
Hell, I wouldn't expect to jump into some long-running FPS and compete against guys who've been playing for years. Why would you think this is any different?
If you have teamspeak or ventrilo, you can easily talk to some of the active players that play this game. There are others in this thread that seriously put effort in trying to help you so you may have a better experience of the game.Thanks. I mean, my friends have already uninstalled this; we were hoping this mod would give some more depth to sieges/WB but honestly after playing the few games they did (repeatedly get spawned against tincans while they have bare chest and a kitchen knife) was too much and I doubt I will be playing this without buddies. I was just offering some suggestive feedback on how to make this game more acceptable to new players. I have no issue with shit being hard, and if it wasn't I wouldn't be playing warband in the first place. But I mean I spent a good hour playing and only got at most 500 gold..................... That is just.........yea no thanks.
This game has a tough, yet gradual learning curve. It's actually nice that there aren't too many plateaus like you would find in other games. If you put forth a solid effort to try to get good at this game (which includes understanding stats/build making, roles on the battlefield, and working with other groups of players), you can learn to understand the amount of options you have available even as a new player.I've played the game for a decent time and while I am hardly a good fighter, I know when the gear/build is beating the fuck out of me and not skill.

And I'm not even a very good polearm duelist. Stick to teammates and take every opportunity you get to inflict damage.
Thank you for reading the posts I went out of my way to write to give you a hand.
Shorter, ruder version:
You are bad. You are dying because you are bad. A skip the fun character starts with everything you need to do somewhat well. The rest is up to your individual skill, which you don't have, because you are bad.
Response from the admin that kicked the thread starter (OP)
That was me, Rinaun, that kicked you from the server.
You and your apparent friend admitted to - and even seem proud of - leeching, which is against the server rules. You began your tirade by claiming that "the point [of this game] is to afk until [we] have gear."
I even pointed out that you should not do it, and you went ahead and posted that you were going to regardless.(click to show/hide)
Rhordi of Wessex was gracious enough to tell you the consequences of performing a breach of server rules. Mrblood decided that he'd go around telling people that he was doing it earlier today, and without repurcussion. At which point I banned him for 1 hour. I admit that I did it to prove a point (that you can't break the server rules and think you can get away with it), but I think I made the point pretty clear then. Apparently you're not very courteous, either.(click to show/hide)
You then began insulting the people who brought you this mod (for free, mind you), and then proceeded to be a smartass and telling everyone of your intent to leech (and then insulted the devs again, for good measure of your poor spirit, in case we didn't get it the first time).(click to show/hide)
I even apologized for being curt and harsh on a bunch of newbies who were gloating about their intent to leech (which, by my reckoning, was already going out of my way).
Your "not willing to run in and die" consisted of telling me of your intent to "autobot" (not recorded, but I can check the logs, if you'd like).
Rhodri again was nice enough to tell me to lay off, since you were new. And your telling the server that you were going to "be leeching until remove(d) you" forced my hand to give you a kick.(click to show/hide)
The server had some nasty things to say about your attitude after you left, but we'll keep it on topic, shall we.
edit: bear in mind that I only kicked you and mrblood for openly talking about your leeching antics.
