Version 0.240

[Keshian]

Crpg character page site is still down for Internet Explorer users.  Works in Chrome and firefox, but on IE still get the message "still updating.. check the forum: http://forum.c-rpg.net"  no matter how many times its reloaded.

Seems to be working now.  Thanks.

I've been on and off eu_1 since the update and haven't seen a single arabian lancer.

See how speculative evidence means pure shit?

The fact is, the vast increase is unwarranted - it was not unbalanced. The fact that you need 2 more riding skill for the arabian than you do for a 65k plated charger makes absolutely no sense to the games mechanics. This means that any HA who builds for the arabian now has a +2 riding bonus when using a plated. That's a fucking retarded reality.

Well Kerrigan, Lorenzo, and a couple of other GK. Then there were 2 randomers who I saw an hour ago. Can't remember their names. And of the first map I played in the desert when there were still only 30 on the server, there were a few as well.

Most of the guys riding around on anything less seemed to be 1h cav or ranged cav.

The reason it makes sense is because it has been argued that riding a horse like an Arabian takes a lot more skill than riding a plated charger. Thus needing more riding. The price for the plated charger is the balancing factor. As to whether the devs actually based it on that random realism argument. I don't know. I'm just saying what the argument for it has been in the past.

if you're getting errors such as missing arabian castle battlements damaged that crash your game, update your warband to 1.143

I'm getting STR NOT FOUND: errors everywhere. Does anyone know how to fix that?

[Dezilagel]

It's a big diffrence - most extreme case was a HA hitting me for ~50 % - bodyshot on 68 armor. Speed bonus part of it ofc, but still.

If they increased requirements for heavy horses you'd have a heavy horse except your character would be weak due to needing to pump agi to get extra riding. That would be kinda pointless. Increasing requirements for the faster horses makes it so the rider is not as 'tough' and thus balances well with the horse not being the 'heavy' role.

Well I hope everyone likes having cav stab them in a butt and them zip out at a million miles an hour because 1h cav just got deleted. Horse bumping someone now stuns the rider too? Wonderful.

Orly. Thanks, my retard brain couldn't quite grasp the super-simple parts.

I never mentioned increasing the riding req for heavies either, but decreasing? Fine. I'll shut up. It seems like not enough people care about chadz deleting classes so it's gonna go unchecked until there's basically no deviation or customisation in the classes anymore. Everyone will be using the same shit, with the same build and you and your ilk are to blame for the fucking mess this mod is becoming by simply accepting it.

Yeah it makes so much fucking sense to have everyone doing the same thing. That's why C-rpg exists right? So we could all be playing THE SAME FUCKING CHARS AS NATIVE.

crpg has been moving in the direction of rewarding dedicated builds for a long time now...

I've been a dedicated archer for a while now I haven't felt rewarded lol.

I like how all of these angry people are addressing chadz as if he actually has something to do with item balancing.

Try being a hybrid archer and see how you feel after that.

Feel free to add them to the original post, nothing has been modified and if you doubt me that's what scanners are made for.

Enjoy!
