Suggestions Corner / Re: Have players start at level 15

« on: April 07, 2011, 10:16:15 pm »

I started a few months before the patch.  It was worse then, yes, but it's still painful for newcomers and is generally slow going for low gen players. 

I'm not making an argument from absolutes here.  It's about preferences, and my preference is to not face hours of grinding against 1-hits by archers who target peasants, knights who can run faster in full plate than low-level peasants, and horses that kill with only moderate bumps - it's just not fun for me.  I find it odd that people find such satisfaction in playing as a low level character amongst tenth gen titans.  If people want to play as a low level character they're able to even with the level 15 scheme implemented.  Just don't place your stat points and there, you're set for life as a peasant.  But if people would want the level fifteen idea implemented, in any way at all, it's up to the developers to pick which generations it would apply to.  I'd like it implemented even if it's only for gen1.  That way I can make alts with all the other weapons and builds I'd like to use but I don't have to spend so much time grinding them to par.  It may even encourage more people to play as archers since they won't get turned off by the impotence of early levels.

really hours?
REALLY?

at level 1 you can buy an equip a shield, at level 1 with a tourny shield you can block 2 arrows.

step1.) buy a shield and spear
Step2.) equip both and 2 extra shields
step3.) guard players against backdoor cav.

Bam instantly helping the team at level 1. Before the patch i would have said good idea, exp and gold was hard to come by, now? no way. if you play for an hour and never get above a 1x your going to hit level what? 8? 9? Stop making alts and you wont have to deal with it over and over. the LAST thing we need is more ranged people.

Suggestions Corner / Re: New goldsink : Heirloom reforging

« on: April 07, 2011, 08:52:02 pm »

at 600k gold its much less a gold sink as its a gold reset.

In order for this to be called a gold sink its going to require that a.)people want to do it, and b.)People can afford it. I think it would be much more reasonable that people would spend say 75k-100k gold in order to reforge their weapon.

The sink part comes in that more people will be able to do it, Nothing is gained by doing it, your just replacing the weapon.

Something else to think about is putting a Cap on the number of times something can be reforged before it has a chance to be destroyed. Maybe you can reforge it 3 times, then everytime after that there is a 25% chance the weapon is destroyed.

spending $30 on a lower end new card, and then $30 to add another gig of ram will do wonders for you.

Or just bite the bullet and upgrade your whole system. I just spent around $350 and got a quadcore AMD phenom xII system with 4 gigs of ram. just moved my old video card over since its a 512mb dd3 card and i didnt have any issues with it before.

Also alot of the graphic settings in warband dont seem to matter, My old system ran just as good at all low settings, as it did at all medium settings, just a really funky game

I play cRPG for a persistent online character that develops to suite my style of play, not to get killed repeatedly for a few hours by players who's armour I can't even dent.  At least at level fifteen one can use a pike against horsemen and to assist teammates in melee.

might be stating the obvious, but at Level 1 you can still use a polearm which is capable of stopping horses. you don't NEED to be level 15 to be helpful.

"always been an asshole and never says sorry" isn't acceptable.

I only made it about halfway down your post, but my 2 worthless cents.

I have never had a problem with goretooth, and the opposite with zisa, I have also never recieved an apology from zisa from one of her many Team hit throwing axes.

Game Balance Discussion / Re: What IS balanced?

« on: April 01, 2011, 08:29:36 pm »

pure builds are balanced

sword and board > range > 2hander > Sword and board

Hybrids however are not balanced

Hybrid>Sword and board
Hybrid>range
Hybrid>2hander

Cav is fine, if your not aware of your surroundings a cav can kill you, if you refuse to carry a polearm cav will kill you.
Crushthrough could use some tweaks.

Hate to bring it up again but really it felt like you were looking for any reason to "pick" on us. The situation was people camping a tower and we were outside waiting for MoF and you call me out when theres still around 10 players alive and say you are going to kick me for leeching because I was behind a wall from their archers...so instead of saying "oh mb I didnt realize what you guys were doing" you got defensive cause we called you out. You then proceded to mute everyone of us instead of just trying to talk to us. I think you even kicked someone but I might be thinking of another issue. The entire server was even saying wtf...

But anyways we havent had an issue since and I think we all kinda figured each other out so its civil now....
Again not trying to start another war just wanted to explain the situation that happend.

i was on search's team, and i can verify that this did happen almost exactly as posted. However i will say one thing, BKS in general seem to troll and troll with the ultimate goal of getting punished and then exploding with anger about being punished. BKS is the fox news of Warband.

i think there should be bonuses based on who you kill. a combination of generation+level=bonus

so for instance if i kill a level 30 goretooth ill get a bonus of like 50 gold. nothing insane, but just a little something extra on the side.

Seeing the Hospitaller kids play regularly, they like to let their team die and sit back in an extremely advantaged position and camp.

This is Fact, If i'm playing and i see i'm on the Hosp team, I don't do anything, i just wait for there gaggle of geese to decide its time to fight

The real only way to fix camping on roofs, is make it so you can burn buildings down. since thats what would happen, want to camp a roof? ill set said roof on fire.
