Shouldn't the first response on finding a bug be to report it to the devs immediately?

Ofcourse not. I know plenty of people who'd argue that it isn't exploiting because having the bug isn't their fault..
(Yes, I do know plenty of greedy idiots - apparently.)

wtf man, now all the shitty shields require at least 1 shield point and even the crappiest archers never miss a damn shot from 95876598 yards away. i don't know why devs buffed the accuracy of bows and turned them into m95 shit.

anyway nublets, go and play CoD if you like range shit. real men fight with swords 

My bow is just as accurate as it was before the patch.

I swear they made arrows fly slower though. Makes it hard (especially in night) to see where it landed even if it actually hit something.

So if I've hit you, I assure you it was an accident..

Lost Shortened Military Scythe&Goedendag. So moneywise not big loss there. Odd thing however is that I can't buy either of them from the shop. Doesn't take money though, just reloads the page and doesn't give the item. :/

General Discussion / Re: Arrow Damage Type

« on: January 06, 2011, 04:52:01 am »

All the time I've played crpg I've been pure infantry archer so I'm not complete newbie with it - for example I do know that pointing the sharp end to enemies usually works best.

However, I am complete newbie when it comes to whacking people with bec de corbin.


..so how in hell it makes any sense that killing people with bec de corbin with 1 polearms wpf is easier than killing same people with fine strong bow&large bag of khergits' and 160+ archery wpf..? Result of the patch - I carry bow along to get 2~3 shots in to people while they're busy figthing someone else before rushing in to whack them with a stick. Oh, and that stick deals 36 piercing damage, killing heavier infantry (not plated though) in 2~3 good whacks. Makes perfect sense.. yeah

Being at receiving end is sorta funny too. I've ran into hail of arrows losing only 2~3 hp per hit. Only crossbows deal any significant damage on my chainmails.

I see ppl without armor, and only with shield that rape ppl on their chargers. Something is wrong....

Well, it is Mount&Blade.. :p

Still I agree with you. Patch buffed already overpowered cavalry.


As for the repair/upkeep imho it should be constant x% of every items' value regardless of win or loss. Or what, my sword magicly sharpened itself because my side won the battle? The random system just sucks - first you'll go 3~4 rounds on losing side without repair costs and next loss you'll get 5~10k repair bill.

So emm, let me get this straight. Horses have no upkeep currently...?

Who knows.. Ask in-game and infantry tells you they're free while cavalry insist on horses having upkeep costs if they die in battle..

All I know is that friend never had to pay for his Destrier dieing in combat so.. :/

Change from system of stick and carrot to one or other - winning gives you significantly more gold and losing keeps taking it away? Until you hit the sweetspot with your equipment and have enough backup gold you'll be screwed if you're trying to save for better gear.

Horses need constant upkeep regardless do you win or lose

Don't really mind the new bow animation, but it still nerfed bows while patch didn't make significant balance changes to cavalry/2h spammers. Stop to watch the kills on busy server; 3/4 on either side are from 2h swords&cavalry

Player update while on server doesn't always update your gear if you bought new items. Map change/reconnect fixes it though. Or waiting 2~3 update cycles.

Friendly horse bumbs really need some safe time after respawning. Some of the cavalry just don't care a shit about mowing down every infantry to get out of the spawn area fastest.

Not really in last patch, although horses being free from upkeep doesn't help it either - how in hell it makes sense to give horse archers plated horses, so when they fail in shooting people they'll just tramble over infantry. Not only HAs though; there are even peasant armored guys with 4 shields and plated charger..

ed: here's a thought about bows dealing cut damage now;
Only Arrows and Barbed Arrows are shaped to deal high damage on lightly armored/un-armored targets. Khergit&Bodkin Arrows however are made to be armor piercing.
So what if you remove ~10 damage from all bows and give the damage to arrows instead, making normal Arrows&Barbed Arrows cut damage and Khergit&Bodkin Arrows pierce?

At what gear level does it actually cost less gold in upkeep than what you are winning? Anyone know the magic gear combo to actually make money yet?

Haubergeon, splinted greaves, leather gloves, kettle helm, fine strong bow, 2 large bags of khergit arrows and a bec de corbin => I was getting more gold than upkeep kept eating. Replace one bag of arrows and the bec de corbin with huscarl shield&elite scimitar and I was still getting slightly more gold than upkeep taking it.

So haubergeon-rank armor set + shield&1 hander seems plausable to me. Maybe cheapest lance there to stop those horsies that seem to be popping up more and more. And the haubergeon in my opinion is quite enough; you still need few good hits from 2-handers/cavalry to go down.

Played all morning and most of afternoon (like.. 10 hour straight) with 15~23k worth equipment on and made ~50k profit, if not more..

Oh, and I'm one of those squishy archers.. only had couple of maps with 5x rolling whole map and getting to top 5 on team. :s
