Suggestions Corner / Re: Higher xp gain (same for everyone)

How about: if you are gen 10 (example number) or below, you can retire at lvl 30 to help stack the gens towards the start? Clearly this would not work on alts or abuse would happen. But yeah, let the newbies get some looms and gens quick without affecting the veterans too much.

Buff horses! Seriously, they need more hp and bumping damage.  Make bumped enemies fly to the sky as if they were shot with ballista! 

Yeah! Do this!

And while you're at it make all horses need at least 6 riding, apart from the donkey which will require 4...

To me, the only reason of complaints is actually just the rare occasions when a clan has theme-days and stacking HAs.
Tbh, Byzantium having their "lolpike" evenings is similar enjoyable as HA stacking.

1 or 2 HAs on the server is hardly an issue and when you're not completely blind, it's even rather easy to dodge them.
It always boils down to their numbers...

My suggestion: whenever something stacks on EU1 that you don't like, can't deal with - join EU2 and play there. Barely any cavalry, hardly noticeable amount of ranged and not a single HA.

The problem is not people stacking, they are generally pretty useless as they do not have a high lvl build.

The problem is the lvl 35+ HA mains that completely own several maps. And I cannot deny that some of the players are good at what they do. But ultimately what they do is play a class that cannot be touched by the majority of players unless they make a mistake. This is completely unbalanced and should be countered somehow.

Making it so they can carry less arrows, nerfing the speed bonus or their accuracy. I don't really care but it needs to be done. Only a select few people who are in a massive minority find the class fun and, as the voting on this thread shows, it ruins the experience for the rest of the player base.

My point is that there is no problem, except for peoples' inability to adapt to the battlefield conditions.  Congrats on min-maxing to best devastate melee infantry, you're now weak to ranged classes.  Deal with it.

Untrue, the problem lies when the scenery involves a roof which is only accessible from one crazy jump which is then populated by a group of archers. They then have complete domination over the whole map as they are on a roof and no matter how big your carefully organized group of shielders is, you will get shot to pieces trying to get up and the one man with a poleaxe helping the archers is sure to screw you if you finally make the jump.

Sure, everyone hated archers in real life but they didn't jump on the roof of nearby houses and become almost invunerable. And yes, you can try to shoot them, and they hide over the ridge of the house and shoot you back.

I am starting to believe that ranged is not the whole problem, but that the maps allow for too much abuse of hard to reach places for ranged people to camp out.

Game Balance Discussion / Re: Ideas for fixing range

« on: July 11, 2014, 12:06:25 am »

Here's an idea: Edit every map so there are no more roofs where a band of bundle of stickss can hop up and be absoultely untouchable because anyone trying to get up will get shot and anyone not going up will also get shot.

The main problem is not ranged weapons, it's how easy they are to abuse when you get maps that allow this shit.

I think strategucly the only way to effectively counter archery is a combination of shielders putting pressure on them driving them back and heavy cav to negate skirmishers that try to x-fire.

And you get your average group of random on EU1 to pull that off.

Myself, I am a shielder, always have been due to massive ammounts of bundle of sticksry raining down on my head from day 1. I love the combat system and love dueling without a shield, but as soon as it is on my back I get shot to pieces. Even if I am the last man standing against 10 and clearly have no chance and just want a nice fight you get countless noobs shuffling around the fight to get a good shot into my back. A ranged cap would be one way, but I really don't see why one of the few games that exists with a sweet combat system like this is now dominated by archers, horse archers and xbows, etc. Ranged needs to be nerfed IMO. Archers are far too accurate, especially with the little pew pew bows which have been buffed by the so called 'balancers.' One look at that and it is quite clear that a few people are more than happy to alter the entire mod just to make their own build better for them.

It quite simply sucks.

If I could join a server and expect a fight I would, but I hardly play right now because 50% of the battle is getting shot and the other 50% is watching some little shit on a horse run away for hours while failing to shoot anyone.

You guys need to seriously consider who you allow to make balance changes to this mod, before the entire player base you worked so hard to build leaves.

EU (Official) / Re: Ban Stabbing_Scotsman and Bureidomasuta

I was playing rageball and took care for the rules ...

Read: I was playing rageball and shooting everyone.

They attacked me i defended myself and then they kicked me for TDm...

If you didn't notice I stopped attacking you when you dropped your bow... kinda helps the team a lot when you start shooting us.

some screens from stabbing_scotsman TDM me...

greetings theRevenger

You screenshotted me killing you, yes. This does not mean I was playing TDM.


Regards,

The Raging Scotsman


EDIT:

If you want to ban someone, make it virginal_sauce, he non-stop kills people the entire game and plays like a doped up alcoholic ferret with a phobia of round objects.

cRPG Technical problems / Re: ULTIMATE PING THREAD. Post here if you have conectivity issues

« on: November 05, 2012, 10:20:14 pm »

I am in the UK too, ping has been reliably under 50 until recently where, like all these other unfortunate souls, it has gone to 100+ making the game either a leechfest or completely unplayable. My NA ping is unaffected and remains about 110 which is now often better.

Soooooo whatever you did it would probably be best to find it and undo it

In the meantime I shall play something else...

Oh and as i m German i can tell, opression will not keep ppl at bay forever, that s why socialism didn t work out ;-) kiss

I dont have an opinion in your argument, but: Socialism works fine, but since for socialism to function it requires the entirety of a community to take part in it, there has yet to be ANY socialism...
