Beginner's Help and Guides / Problem with Account

« on: October 18, 2011, 08:13:57 pm »

I can't seem to get into my character account on the site. I can get into my forum account (Obviously since I'm typing here) but, for some reason can't get into my toons. When i first tried i got in fine, and then from then on it kept asking me to make another general account for them and asked for my toons' names and every time it would reply with this character already exists. Please do help me here.

I think everyone agrees throwers and throwing lances are pretty broken.  Playing a 30/6 build with 10 ps and 10 pt is kinda easy mode.  If anyone tries to range you pull out axes or a lance and 1-2 shot them.  If they get in melee range just 1-2 shot them again.

They really need to tone down the damage on alot of throwing weapons or base damage more on a combo of WFP and Powerstike/throw/draw skills.  For example change the bonus damage curve from linear to maybe a x^2 curve on weapons so you need a min of around 100 wfp to get the base damage out of a weapon and 50 gives you about 1/4 of the base damage.  Maybe 150 wfp gives you 125% of base damage and pt/ps/pd are used for weapon req and bonus damage.

 Limiting ammo will help a little but being able to carry a big 2 hander and 2 lances or 8 axes isn't going to change the game that much.  It seems like it will hurt pure throwers/archers/xbows most and less huskerls/2h throwers.

The thing is, since their is so many throwers on they simply never seem to run out of ammo. All they have to do is pick up the throw weapons from the ground. All I can say is that it will definatly be difficult to find a good way to nerf throwing without killing the game mechanics and fun. Thing is that everyone as I said before shall always piss and moan about ranged in general all because they lost without a chance to fight back. But, this is the point, all everyone has to do is learn to adapt and work as a team and you will start seeing a better K/D ratio.

And you'll start seeing alot more wins.

it is not unreal at all to restrict some hybrid classes to be less effective with this 2 slot items patch.

crossbowmen hid behind the shields and formed a fire wall for the knights who charged in to retreat safely, they did not carry a zweihander and sunnenly started chopping knights heads. Not to say the didnt have much skill ye they had melee skill but certanly not the type of skill that would even rival a trained meleeist.

English longbowmen carried their longbow, their stack of arrows, richer ones had a horse they rode to the battlefield, and had s small sword like scimitar if needed but rarely used, they didnt whip out a Flamberge out of their ass and started chopping head off.

So yes troops were far more specialised especially ranged ones than they are ingame at this moment, nobody is saying the couldnt defend them selves, but if a knight with a great sword stormed the archers on foot the wouldnt have a great time, on second thought that would never happen beacuse they would flee the battlefield before that has a chance of happening, so realism wise this 2 slot patch is spot on imo.

p.s.

Archers rarely spammed melee  think ybout that archer friends and try to shoot cav and other ranged first not ur own team in the back in your thirst for kills, you are a support troop.

cheers

You my friend have, a valid arguement. But, I do say why not just do it on throwing items? The archers already in order to be affective can only place about 55 through maybe 80 wpf into melee at lvl 30. Archers already barely do any ranged damage as it is, without the only bonus of maybe having more distance that throwers.

So now that my opinion is slightly changed I say do this rule for only throwing and perhaps off of weapon weight/cost.

Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ARCHERS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE WHO PLAY THIS READ HIS SECOND QUOTE!

There are some examples against this, people had sidearms back then too, but it was not the PRIMARY PRIORITY to use them.

And what does Overhybridization promote? Even more shields, even more ranged crap flying everywhere, because people want to defend themselves.

Eaxctly, if you hate ranged alot, get behind a shield or get behind a shielder. You could even be a 2h who carries a shield(OMG never thought of that). The last patch that chadz  came out with was to FORCE TEAM WORK. (can you see that i said team work?) So in all of this being said, all of whom I ever really see pissing and moaning about these things are those who rambo and die, all because they never look for someone else to blame.

Just posting again in hopes that atleast SOME people read what I said.

BUMP!

P.S. I also agree with this alot.

i still think WPF cost should be calculated for all types not for each one individually.

Especially cause it seems like a reasonable game mechanic rather then the two slot items.

a hybrid actually has all the capabilities a specialized character has, and then some.
I don't understand how a specialized is better than a hybrid at all, especially with the way WPF scales now, it's actually semi-retarded not to go hybrid at this point. xD
but yes, you may have your own opinion as I have mine.

the choice between 140 and 150 wpp is pretty easy
why have 10 when you can have 70+ in another skill instead, it doesn't make sense to try and get 180 wpp which is the only way you will slice a milisecond off of your swing times. ( A WHOLE MILISECOND OMG RIGHT!? )

So no, I disagree entirely.

My hybrid thrower kicks ass at range and melee.. where as my specialized melee character just kicks ass at melee
my hybrid xbow kicks ass at range and melee.. where as my specialized xbow kicks ass at range...
my hybrid archer kicks ass at range and melee.. where as my specialized archer kicks ass at range.
See where I'm going with this?
there's no way a specialized char should beat a hybrid if the hybrid isn't handicapped (mentally)

example would be 1v1 Thrower hybrid vs Melee Specialist

Thrower back peddles, whipping all ammo at the melee specialist who some how dodges all but one jarid and is now at less than half health, Melee gets one cut on the thrower as hes changing weapons, thrower blocks once he gets his weapon out, thrower counter attacks and 1 hits melee specialist due to 8-9-10 PS and a top tier 2h/poleaxe

Yes the specialist COULD win, but the chances are very slim since they have to dodge armor piercing rounds just to reach the melee in which they supposedly have an advantage, but oh wait, their advantage is only 35 wpp over their opponent, so what advantage do they have exactly?

@Gorath, peasants were trained as specialists in one weapon because they didn't have the time or money to train them in everything, it was logical. (due to time and money being a variable)

Thank you for agreeing with the specialist thing for goarth.

On the other hand HOW THE FUCK DOES A HYBRID END UP WITH 8-10 PS?
Honestly as I've said hybrids are fine just the ones who use "Crutch weapons"  and abuse the shit out of them are the problem.

In all honesty I truely and really complain about my team mates more than anything else. It might be because I understand why I was killed or it might be because the game Is very close to balanced. The thing is, is chadz can never truely  balance the game EVER. On the simple fact that there is always gonna be someone who finds something that will "Help" him be good at the game and there will always be those who piss and moan about the abuse of it, or those of us who are too stupid to find the way to defeat it and just simply blame it on something other then our self.

So, in conclusion(Lol I am writing an essay yeaaaaa!) The game is very close to being balanced the only problem is that it is now coming down the society. Since, everyone always needs to be perfect/"the best", they need to someone else to blame for there FUCK UPS (

(I apologize for the language but it seems to be the only way to get the point across)

).  So as soon as the society itself can learn to accept that they themselves have flaws, or are missing something(

(click to show/hide)

(Or have specialized themself in something, and rely on that thing alone.)

). The game shall never be "balanced"

I still don't understand:
A)  Why this is a problem
B)  How this isn't realistic (Seriously, who in the world is capable of learning to do only ONE thing other than retards?)

"Specialists" make no logical sense whatsoever, they're not realistic, not historically accurate, not logical, and promote stupid grinding.

Sorry to say it gorath but, specialist existed, especially back then. Many of the fighters were peasants and those that did get trained were trained in pretty much only one item. They even had each regiment split into what it specialized in. Lol only wanted to argue that specialists and specialized training did exist. Other then that I only agree with this patch for the throwing. The archer and crossbows, they can stay. Mostly, I say the weapon slot thing should go off of the weight/size of the item, and not  "tier"

I believe that the hybrids are fine, the only problems with them are the hybrids that abuse the weapons that need to be patched desperately. Think of it this way, a hybrid is never the best at something, but it makes up for it by atleast be 2nd or 3rd best at everything. A hybrids balance is its strength, pretty much it is able to get to most other builds weakness but, it lacks the capabilities of a specialized build. This is why they are usually never the best but never the worst. I say keep being a hybrid just don't be the ass who is a hybrid who's gear is his crutch.

I say it is  a valid argument, from both the admin and the player. Even though I am an NA player, I do have to say, that for at least making a plea and if he has no major black marks on his record. That this man deserves an unbanning. Ask for it happening in the first place the admin did his job, but in the future. Please start to learn the players/signs of an ass hat.

I'd say edit it ALOT more, it honestly just looks like a graphics fail on the lower half of the face. Make it seem a bit more "cloth like" rather then maybe. Otherwise it's just a black band on the bottom of your face. Plus it's more a bandanna then a face mask, if I wanted a "face mask" I'd say add more Grotesque helms, rather than more bandanna on the head things. Or at the very least more face covering helmets.

P.S. I did not say this to be a troll I said it because it seems like an uneeded item.

I like the ingame voice emotes. If you feel they are annoying: you can only hear other emotes if you've used them yourself. So if you dislike whistle spam or teammates repeating 'Ataaaaaack' all the time, stay away from the Q button.

I like them, I just miss the whistle spamming.

Whistle if you miss whistle spam.
