death of c-rpg?(maybe a slow death)

[Gorath]

so why worry about what it's going to do to playerbase now?

Just a thread of babble because quite a few of us seem to be sick of this god forsaken game but have nothing else to go play as far as online games.  Lack of options leads to threads like these instead of just saying "Fuck it, I'm done" and leaving.

War of Roses looks like it could be viable alternative if one were to believe the hype

Psht. I think we've seen that mainstream buyers won't tolerate a Mount & Blade style system, with Darkfall and Mortal Online. I mean, have you tried to introduce your friends to this game?

"Omg it's too hard."
"That's stupid, he shouldn't be able to do that, I quit."
"What! I can't tell where he's going to attack. Fuck this game."
"I'm bad at it, so I don't want to play multiplayer."

And so on and so forth. I doubt they'll include manual blocking of different directions.

The only way this is an issue is if they're fucking moronic and attempt to go for a "mainstream" crowd.  DF and MO tried that and they have to remember that the mainstream crowd are the cancerous lemmings destroying the gaming culture.  As long as it remembers it's going to cater to a niche community and aims it for that community I don't think we'll have any worries.

I love this game (Warband and cRPG) because its really the only FP/TP MMO ( if you wana call 3k ppl MASS ) RPG medieval game ive played. Looking at War of Roses and Chivalry, I see games that might be able to surpass this. IDK if they will but, time will tell. This was really the first of its kind I know of ( im younger then most of the ppl who play this ) and I love it for that.  If there is a game that is like this, i will try it out and see if I enjoy it more.

^Above reason my friends don't play crpg. They love single player and the mods for it, but don't have the patience to learn multiplayer.

As others have stated I'm expecting war of the roses to be "dumbed down" in terms of melee difficulty. Lack of 2handers would probably remove manual block all together...

Considering that the one of the most popular weapons of the time in England were the bill and the poleaxe, not even mentioning the longsword, while the shields were more and more out of fashion, I highly doubt that.

I cannot imagine a decent Medieval-ish (i.e. no magic bullshit) combat system without skill based blocking/attacking.

Actually, starting it from the very beginning really makes things easier.

I perfectly understand people that start playing now when they say MP is too hard. They have to face people that played this more than a year and went through all the combat style trends. Just imagine you never played piano then you have to reach the same level as someone who played it during one year, in a much shorter time.

PS : 2k hours ? ye nub
