[POLL] About EU_1 Battle.Why its no fun anymore ? Or is it fun ?

[HarunYahya]

Let's see how community thinks i really wonder what everyone thinks about current cRPG.
Game is awesome imo but i think we have too many ranged which ruins the "main feature" of warband which is melee combat.
I mean this is fucking UNIQUE there is no other game that has a melee combat like Warband but lots of games have ranged combat even in elder scrolls or HL 2 mods...
Let's see what everyone thinks.

Playing Eu_1 now, it's pretty much nothing but cav and ranged on the enemy team...

Edit, Rage quit...

Edit, Skyrim...

Gonna edit more ?
Self edit:
Im not against ranged , after i GTXted EU_1 i switched to EU_cRPG_Melee but without ranged and cav melee is no fun also.
There should be a balance in this imo.TOO MANY RANGED = KILLS THE GAME , NO RANGED = KILLS THE GAME , TOO MANY CAV=MAY KILL THE GAME (if your team sux too much.) thats what i think.
Also is this chadz magic which puts -all ranged- and -all cav- in 1 team ? It mysteriously happens.

'Main problem is ladders to roofs , the amount of ranged is fine.'

And, trust me, I hate running ranged guys.

[Dooz]

That doesn't seem pleasant....    I'm sorry for your loss.

[Boerenlater]

Get a shield.

[Kato]

I voted for too many ranged.
but yeah

RETARD LADDERS FROM BATTLE SERVER!

[karasu]

I'm playing ranged and this amount of ranged is simply retarded.

We need really soon a way to limit the amount or a certain class per team, being the best way to associate with the char WPF afaik.


It's either rangefest on EU1, or noobfest on EU2, meh.

[22nd_King_Plazek]

imo the problem is not too much ranged, but that one team often has a much higher proportion of ranged than the other. This leads to unfair battles for the team lacking in ranged support.

[Mala]

too many archers and horses.

[Slamz]

It's a shame that chadz didn't give this game any counter whatsoever to bows.

No cavalry.
No ladders that infantry can deploy.
No shields.
No crossbows.
No throwing weapons at all.
No "athletics" skill that might let us run faster to catch archers.

And no counter to cavalry, either!

No bows.
No crossbows.
No pikes or long spears.
No lolstabbing two-handed swords.
No throwing weapons.

It's really a terrible game.  I don't know why anyone plays it.  I, myself, just stand in the open with my 1H hammer and weep bitterly.

I recently discovered this awesome game, but to me what makes it so good is the depth of melee combat. If the melee wasn't so good would anyone still play? That is a point that should be considered when the game is balanced. Cav/melee combat is 10x more deep and involving than ranged. I think what spoils cRPG sometimes is the sheer volume of people playing like they're the sniper in TF2. Just hanging back chilling while playing a separate game by themselves. There is little "pvp" from a ranged character until it becomes melee mode, or against other ranged characters.

From a realism pov though its tough to balance, but the game mechanics just don't support having too many ranged guys imo and it spoils the game to some extent

[Thomek]

Signed and approved.

Cav is too viable, same with archery. Also, remove ladders in Battle. Will be a gift to cav, so give them a little extra nerf because of that.

This !
The problem is not that "QQ we don't have anything to counter archerz nooooes"

The thing is if there are 30  archers shooting at you no matter which shield you have or where you hide , they shoot you down without you even start melee combat.

same thing goes to cav spam

If there are 30 cav charging from everywhere of the map you can't counter them . Pike is 3 slots now if you are not a dedicated pikeman there is no way to carry that.That decreased people who carry pikes therefore its kinda cav buff
I , personally think that cav is fine , cavspam rarely occurs but rangedspam is on EU_1 everytime.
I don't want nerf to throwers archers or xbows individually but there should be something to limit max ranged on servers cuz they don't let you play if you are melee or cav.

[Boerenlater]

Koyama I don't think throwers should be treated as ranged in this. There are like only 2 or 3 dedicated throwers on each team on EU1 and some viking guys with throwing axes as backup. And don't forget also the range of thrown weapons isn't the same as bows or xbows.

And I'm not saying this because I am a thrower.
