So botting/semi-afk leeching is fine?

[POOPHAMMER]

I think I need my flood pants these tears are overwhelming

People take this online larping too seriously

You can reach lvl31 in one week? O_O

I guess most Mercs can reach it in one day. Since when Mte is an admin? Also, ban Fallen_Tomahawked, too, I cant say I like him.

[[ptx]]

Mte is not an admin, what gives you that idea?

[Xant]

If it was up to me, Mte would be an admin.

Merc friends to the rescue!

Merc friends to the rescue! 

Yeah, good point. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the many things Mercs should NEVER be allowed to do, is to post in threads where other Mercs have posted.

go ahead and bane them all

There is only one point is disagree (next to a small little tiny unimportant detail I will mention later): If you are frustrated by being shot early, it is NOT okay to charge straight ahead to be shot immediately. Why?

You play Warband to fight and to kill people.

The ranged spam in cRPG prevents some (pure meele build) players of doing so.

Now if they just charge straight ahead to die, they probably don't do what the idea of the game is.

Now why should they even join a server if they can't do what they want or they are supposed to do (as you listed up nicely)?

The answer is: they do it as it still brings money and XP.

Summary: they don't play properly, they are only there to earn money and XP.


That's leeching, in my opinion. It's not that severe like the no-lifer leeching on purpose of Vicious, as they basically WANT to play, but get frustrated, but it's definitely leeching. Though, I agree, those people should not be punished, but taken care of by the developers (by making the game fairer for them).

I don't know what Kimichi tries to achieve, but I bet he can only benefit of being prevented of charging headlessly every round.   


And now the tiny little detail I disagree: cavalry is NOT supposed to fight enemy cav. I know that it's done this way on most maps for some reason, but in fact you will always win if your cavalry will concentrate more on enemy archers and, as soon as the big meele has started, the enemy infantry (which should be distracted at that point). This, of course, requires patience from the cav players, which most don't have.

It's the horse archers who are supposed to actively fight enemy cavalry. With their weak shooting capabilities (concerning damage, I mean) killing those (big target) horses with few HP and armour is the most effective thing they can do.

Bold number one: that line was a bit of a sarcasm, what you wrote is exactly what i think....ofc its not right to go suicidal....i always preferred countering the numerous my old friendgchers in my own way but i cant blame most of the people who are frustrated by this...there is simply way too many archers out there, id even dare say too many ranged units in general......this game has turned into an archery contest and you cant deny it....also you cant change it, whatever archery/crossbow/throwing nerfs you make people will still go for ranged cause that is their mentality, they want easy mode over "running for 2 or 3 minutes only to get shot without even seeing the enemy", or having to get all the way near the enemy to kill him......we all know how frustrating it is.......its much easier to just find a good spot and snipe things down.....

Bold number two: he tries to achieve nothing, he is leeching, he dies fast so he can do whatever he's doing in the way...writing his homework, watching TV, watching porn and wanking, or something like that......

Bold number three: i never stated that cav is supposed to fight EXCLUSIVELY vs enemy cav but it sure is one of their duties, if you cant get the archers or infantry you can at least try your luck with some opposition horsemen......

Bit off topic but..

Ccavalry have a few roles and one of them is to counter enemy cavalry and stop them from maneuvering easily behind their team mates, once they have dealt with the enemy cavalry then they are free to attack the enemy, without worrying about being lanced.

When I play my HA I always hunt down the enemy cavalry first, I like to catch them far from the battle when they are trying to sneak around the back, if they have a shield I just shoot their horses to death and leave them to run miles, then go do the same to all the other cav, before returning to my army so I can pick off any enemies that come near the flanks or their own flanks.

On my lancer I move with my force, engage enemy cavalry that attacks and then break off once the main force engage, so I can outflank the enemy.

Taking out enemy cavalry is important regardless of whether you're on a horse or not, countless times has a lone cavalryman repeatedly charged through the back of the force killing multiple people, whilst no one seems to take much notice of him and end up getting backstabbed by him too.

All this whining about how other players play really annoys me.
Do we really need to force people to play a certain way?
I think any limitations of play styles would make this game less enjoyable.

Make it simple. Just kick a player for being afk if he is the last survivor.
Kicking (or even worse, banning) a player because he "seems" to be afk when there are 50+ players still alive is just not ok and totally unnecessary.

And if suicide attacks should be punished you might as well ban anyone who doesn't move for 10 seconds...

Guilty until proven innocent!
That's obviously how justice works, in game and in life.

I regularly play in my birthday suit and sometimes run in to fight all the enemies by myself because its fun.  Guess I should be banned for "leeching"

Bieber is not happy.

for what reason do half the people replying to this not understand that it is not about people running into the enemy fighting and failing or anything but about botlike behavior?
no one cares if you play bad or halfassed in fun gear as long as you are not autorunning into an enemy not playing at all... and yes i know he did kills after 4 rounds of doing NOTHING.
at least he is muted and can't repeat it himself
