General Discussion / Re: Increase Shield weight and reduce HP penalty on 1h

As overpowered as 2handers and polearmers are, this fool needs to weaken shielders even more?

Shields have already taken a nerf hit.  Your suggestion sucks balls.

Thanks for playing.

Couched damage was king of the battlefield in the middle ages.   It deserves its place in CRPG. 

It's very situational, high risk, and expensive to bring to bear.

Truly a useless poll.

Yes CRPG is more like native now, and thats a good thing.  Everyone will tell you in this thread why it's better, heres my two biggest reasons:

1) In native your playing against what? twenty guys?  Doesnt compare to the hundreds playing crpg today, and I swear the population seems to be growing in NA.

2) You could be a real stud in native but your battles dont mean squat.  Without the persistent stats and inventory you might as well be playing single player.

I use a Long Espada, heirloomed twice so far.  I do alot of thrusting, even on horseback, works in ground combat too.

When I can afford it, I'll bring out the Rouncy.  It cost about 450g for repairs.

General Discussion / Re: How to use a Charger?

« on: January 14, 2011, 06:24:18 am »

I considered my toon a "mounted infantry" type horseman.  Horse and sword, no lancework, up close and dangerous.

I had an heirloomed Heavy Charger.  I wore full plate.  I'd slash peasants, ninjas, and archers with my Balanced Espada or crush cans with a morningstar.  I carried only one weapon and a Steel Shield into battle.

I'd ride around and get the cheap afk kills now and again, but my main focus is combat support.   Upon rollout I'd ride ahead until first contact, then come back and cover the infantry flanks.  If I didnt see any polearms, ride into the enemy ranks and stir up the furball just before the grunts arrive.  Pullout, assess damage, and assist where needed.  K/D ratio and gold no longer seemed to matter much and life was good.

Then the patch hit.

These days I wear a gambeson and ride a Rouncy into battle. But I still swing a Balanced Espada.  Everyone carries a polearm and thows shit. So your horses death (and the ensuing chance of repair) is a given.  Friendly damage means more horsemanship is required at all times.  I'm more likely to abort a strike than risk killing a friendly.  Its alot easier to kill my mates and harder to kill the enemy than ever before.  chadz even stole my Heavy Charger, not that I got much use out of him lately.
I'd been thinking of selling the Charger for a Destrier, but I keep thinking:

Someday I'm gonna be 5x on a battle server and I'm gonna don the Gothic Plate and ride my Charger into battle alongside other heroes, milking the mutiplier for all its worth.

But for now, I'm on the Peasant Fail Team, wearing cheap gear, leaving the horse in the stable.

cRPG Technical problems / Re: Permanent damage

« on: January 05, 2011, 07:36:40 am »

I toggled autorepair off, thinking I could manually repair my gear.  Now my Gothic Plate is downgraded to crude and my Balanced Long Espada is now a mundane Long Espada.

There appears to be no way to repair these critical items.

Canna get a rollback?  That sword was my grandfathers !
