get the NA CRPG servers going again. bannerlord is trash.
I'm turning 50 soon and most of you yung fuks probably are in your 30s now since you were playing dis shit when you were in junior high talking all dat trash. Your dad reflexes are finally going to start to show.
I don't know how much longer I have until my arthritis starts to kick in, but miss playing this game.
The single worst change in combat is probably the fact that if you hit someone, your "turn" is over and they can just instantly swing right back at you despite eating an axe a split second ago. Leads to so many players just mindlessly spamming swings; if they get hit once, no big deal they'll surely just hit you right back since its so unexpected.
ontop of that if you just keep clicking left button it automatically start to initiate the next *fastest* swing based on the last animation or direction you were attacking. I don't think you even have to pick a direction. So most people are just clicking and swinging constantly mindlessly. Thats why you'll see a lot of LEFT then RIGHT then LEFT then RIGHT attacks from noobie doobies.
Then you have the chained attacks swing where after you swing you hold the button and choose the next swing direction you get a different animation which I'm not sure if it speeds up the wait inbetween regular attacks.
Bigger difference most people will probably notices from warband to bannerlord is that your positioning is going to matter more because you can't initiate blocks sometimes as fast due to the way the animations work.
Bannerlord's foot stances (which I've yet to really test) which can speed up your attack or make your defense better based on your foot position. I can't find the video of this anymore and the beta forums gone where people were talking about it.
Only examples I notice if you have 2H or spear you can initiate a stab on either left or right side of your character. Also I guess if you have for example your left foot forward with 1H and do a left to right it might be faster versus if you had your right foot forward and do a left to right swing. I've yet to really pay attention to this, but due to the fact blocking takes a little more time to move our hand to the position to block it might mean you have to pay more attention to this.
I've gotten use to it, but can't really say if I like Bannerlord's system more or less.
don't know if tomorrows release will be any different than the current beta (prob not) but....
I Currently still don't like the class system with fixed armor/weapons. Combat is ok, but needs some more work IMO. Combo Spam will be the word of the day come monday. just keep clicking to win if your armored up.
Chambering is hard to pull off. Throwing is ass IMO or just seems MEH. Shield 4d directional is a nice welcome since it makes you have to do more than just hold one key and block everything. Mounted combat is ok.
If anything someone is gonna mod and make it better hopefully.
so while we wait for Beta access... I'm seeing more videos going up and streams. here is first duel video I've seen though it's 1H and they have armor on
This video is a bit hard for me to follow cause of spastic mouse movements (fake moves looking up and around) which I personally never do or felt was very effective though I did develop a bad feint habbit in CRPG. I can't tell if feints are even being used though I see some holds change directions before released.
