Xbows aren't as useful as you might think to someone who doesn't spec for it. At least, that's how I feel about it. Maybe I'm just crap with a ranged weapon:D!
No seriously, in order for you to hit something, you will need to be at a rather daunting distance, say 20 meters from your target if you're using an Arbalest and have 1 wpf. And even at that distance I couldn't hit squat:O Thing is, when using such a heavy weapon, you use up slots for something to protect yourself, and given the fact that it's soooo slow to reload I'd say that it's a one shot weapon before you switch to melee to counter the coming onslaught.

Personally I don't like to use crossbows, but I don't mind someone hitting me at 100 yards with em: if so, they probably spent their precious wpf points on it.

So... you're expecting a discount for a regular armor? Or do you mean you want one with an heirloom slapped onto it?

Bro, this is the internet, where EVERYONE is treated equally. If you can't leave your real life shit behind then you what the fuck are you doing playing online video games where you KNOW people will troll you. We will use everything we can to piss you off (speaking of which, why the hell do we do that?) and if you let that get to you then don't talk back to the community. That would just make things worse for you, like what happened with uhtred here. Basically I think you should just try to forget your real life and act like you're normal when you play with other people.

Sorry if I was unclear or didn't read your post well enough, but it seems like you are adressing me directly when stating that I should leave my personal life behind. Personally I don't really have that much of a problem with being trolled or keeping my composure, but thanks for the heads up anyway:P My point was about uthred, not myself. Sorry if my previous post gave you the impression that I felt personally wronged by any of this.

Look, Uthred was raging and it got out of hand. He admits to having a few character traits that worsened the deal in the process.
I would like to ask anyone here if they know anything about his day-to-day life? Anyone?
Anyone know about his inner world, his childhood, his demons, what he faces on his own? Not exactly.

I'm not trying to deny the fact that he has been somewhat of a twat for a couple of posts, or that he let something minor get out of hand and now lost all his heirlooms due to his own pride.
What I àm trying to state is the fact that besides all that, maybe there are some factors in his life or his character that predispose him to behave himself in a certain manner. If this were or were not the case that would not affect the question whether he should be an admin or not, since it was downright unacceptable. We have rules in place for a reason.

Btw, what if he really does suffer from an autism spectre disorder? There's no shame to it, is there? I certainly don't think Uthred does since I'm not a licensed psychiatrist and leave no room for myself to judge those types of issues either way, but it is another argument for the leniency we could all show someone who stepped over the line once, socially speaking.

Basically  a quote I read once sums it all up, ''it's hard to hate someone you truly understand''. I don't know who told me, but I think it gets to the core.

I'm not going to treat Uthred any less right now just because he got angry over losing on of his items, that's just not that big of a deal for me. If you decide to do so, then maybe he's dragging you down with you?

It's late and I gotta be up early in the morning to work at the hospital, so I'll be brief:

Uthred,

when I first started playing this mod, you were the first person that sprung out from the background of peasants and midlevel people. You had a fucking GOTHIC PLATE. Spectating you wanted me to have that bloody plate, and I grinded my way up for 6 months! (yeah, I sucked really bad) Once I got it, it was the best item I ever received in-game. Why? Because I spent my precious TIME on it, meticulously grinding my way up all the way to gather 32k gold. In that sense, I can really relate to your annoyance over this whole debacle. I'm not in my life ever selling that non-loomed plate, that's how I feel about that useless heap of bytes.

After that time, you had a plated charger:O! It always seemed like you were one step ahead of me. Now, you've gotten to the point that you have so much items and gold that I'd never be able to achieve the same amount.

You made me want to play the way I do today. Please don't leave. I think we can all pull together to gather the gold required to buy back the MW item? Is this a community or what?

To the person taking advantage of it: kindness and leniency towards other people's mistakes garners reciprocity. THink about it.

Yes, you can't, but catching an x amount of damage could be achieved when dying.. so the message would pop up whilst waiting to respawn?

Maybe it's like a hidden achievement... kill x enemies with a weapon, catch x damage with your armor or shield? Something like that?
chadz said earlier on that it was obvious, so maybe it's like this?

I have 90 wpf and I outswing a lot of 1h'ers... is that just the incentive in a fight or plain low wpf on the 1h side?

EDIT: with 2h, a lot comes down to the footwork... you can actually force glancing blows and outswing a fast 1her by shifting around..

Hey Everkistus!

I have a full set of plate armour, gothic plate. I love running around with mauls killing peasants, I've been doing that for 5 months now:D!
Would you consider allowing me to play on the side of the Ogres?

Hooray for chadz for having backbone and sticking to his original ideas about the mod!

I was apalled when I couldn't wear my platyplate anymore. Then, I bought light leather, started making tons of cash.... and......the game got fun again!

Not because of the cash and stuff, but because I STILL have the same build, people just all go down easier. Not to mention that I'm bloody fast in that light leather outfit:O! I can finally block something from time to time!

Thank you chadz, for giving me back my soul!

How about: defender start the first round with 5 times multiplier, and attackers with 1x. That way, in order to get faster xp and gold, the attackers would be inclined to capture the flag fast.
Every time the attackers win, they get a +1 to the multiplier, and the defenders lose 1.

The only problem with this is that you're back to the beginning when you're at round 5, and attackers have x5... which I don't see a way around now.
