He actually is a cool and nice guy, fun to stick around with, especially when on ts, remove him and you remove quite a big chunk of my enjoynment for the mod.
Why people who talk loud and say things you don't like to hear get permabanned but those who openly cheat and abuse the system, making game miserable for everyone get second, third...eight chance?
Is it all about money, donations, cmpx being butthurt, what is the case? I'm really curious.
Quite on the contrary. The reason i am actually in a clan was because of my Teamwork. Instead of complaining I was following some dudes on a server and try to do Teamwork with them. It never occured to me that to be succesful you have to be in a clan. And it never occured to me that not being in a clan is "underpowered". And i still think so. When some Byzants are on we still get owned if the enemy team is playing together and we do not.
Some clansmen though saw me doing teamwork and then asked me if i wanted to join them on Teamspeak to do even more effective teamwork. Hence I'm now in Byzantium.
I still think not being in a clan is perfectly viable if you do it right. But being in one makes the whole thing easier. And thats not bad. It is meant to be so.
Like I said: You get it wrong. Doing Teamwork is the key here. This is a Teamgame. Coordinating your movements as a team is no exploiting. Its the way this game is meant to be played. If you do not like this kind of playstile I understand that fully, but then you are wrong in cRPG. You should go and play native-deathmatch then. Or one of the other mods where you are supposed to play as an individual... But even then you would not find too much of that out there. Most mods with large playerbases I know of are Team-based-modes.
And because of that there is no "exploiting" here. Not in a negative sense of "abusing the system". Because the system consists of Teamwork. People complain there are big groups of players who work together as intended by the gamemode and "break the game". Thats not true. They do just a better job of teamwork as you.
I will grant you the fact that opinions are based on clanmembership. But it is in no way 50/50. Most long-time-players are in clans. Thats because most players see this game as what it is. It is based on teamwork. You can teamwork better if youre communicating actively and effectively with other players. Even more with players you know. At best together on teamspeak. And that is how clans work. That is why the majority of long-time players ARE in clans.
I mean no disrespect whatsoever to you and your opinion. I loathe people who argue on the internet and get personal simply because they are anonymous and they can, but I hold the honest opinion that you are in the wrong. You simply want the mod to be played in a way it is not meant to. It seems to me there are people who refuse to see this or want it to be in another way because of personal taste.
Another thing is to me that this theme in general is just the new "argument-flavour-of-the-month."
Sometimes it is polestagger, sometimes it is Ranged sometimes 2handed, sometimes cavalry, sometimes the way you earn XP/gold.
Clans were owning uncoordinated teams since i play this game, which is since 2 years ago. Nothing happened to make this into a "problem" recently...
Its like this in every Team-game. Be it a Shooter, a Strategy-game or a PVP-MMO. The most organised team wins.
This is not a "problem". This is simply the way Team-Games work. This is no Deathmatch-Style of game. This is no Quake or Unreal-Tournament.
Don't get me wrong I would really like some Deathmatch-mode for cRPG. And if there would be one all complaints about banner-balance would be in the right. But right now we don't have Deathmatch or something similar...
Complaining about team-work in team-based modes is plain wrong.
Some peculiar people seem to have false ideas about this whole thing.
then y even bother posting? just play the game.
and i know what your going to say. clans steam roll non clans in the battle servers
if you want the answer to that you should probally re-read the thread
no i understand where you are coming from completely. banner balance does not favor random pubs
however, you cant cater to the minority here
also the majority of players that come into crpg are through steam sales and we actually get alot of new guys players then
if you took off banner balance you would get even less multipliers. the teams would be too fair and you would rarely have an x3
the thing is that the majority of players are casual clan members that when they get on to play a few rounds, they want to play with their friends.
the people like me who play this game all the time are fine with no banner balance, many people in clans have already stated this. However pairing teamwork with the directional combat system makes the game most enjoyable for a majority of the people.
i feel banner balance has gotten better, especially on seige
Starting as a shielder probably has its merits as mentioned, but for me half the fun is the manual directional blocking system. I learned to play the game as a 2 hander and it is hard, but its pretty satisfying when you start getting some kills. Blocking just becomes second nature if you learn it early.
Polearm might be easier to learn with because you can take a point or 2 in shield and can take a break from manual blocking if you want while still attacking (get some spear type weapons for this). As a new player you can play a support role with polearms too, just stabbing from distance without committing to a fight. 2 handers are fine though and really force you to learn to block. 2 hander + crossbow might be good for taking breaks while still being semi useful for the team. I would get some speed for whichever you go for and some IF rather than the str builds people mentioned. Taking more hits is cool but you can avoid hits by dodging or escape from someone chasing with 6+ athletics. 5 is ok too, I just ended up with 6 in most my gens
We especially don't like playing against 20 clanmates coordinating their multiplier over teamspeak. "Okay, let's lose this round, I think if we don't, everyone will GTX."
yawshan looks way heavier than a kuyak imo
