Is anyone in the CRPG community actually excited for War of the Roses?

[SquishMitten]

looks like it has the potential to be much better than M&B

Still going with preALPHA talk without actual explanation what it really means. Guess Phyrex was very right in one of his last posts...

I don't get the problem with regening arrows. You start with 12 and they regen pretty fing slowly. Plenty of archers in crpg don't even use all their arrows in the battle time so what makes you think it's such a big change?

I also wonder if regenerating ammunition only happens in deathmatch mode? It's the only mode I've seen footage of

EDIT: I personally think the contrast for the shadows are kinda ridiculous, especially since it appears to be a sunny day. The shadows are pitch black when they really shouldn't be.

Only supports up to 64 man battles.


Gay.

So does vanilla Warband. The only reason you see servers with player capacities of above 64 is it has been modified.

true but MnB engine seems to be able to handle more than 64 with ease. do we know what engine WOTS is using? with those graphics and stuff who knows if it could even handle it while maintaining a fun laggless play area.

Well visually I like what I've seen so far, but really in terms of gameplay and movement and also the interface/ hud, I wonder what they were thinking. If it would be as moddable as warband that would be neat tho with it's more modern engine.

Not sure if we can say with ease really,... just take a look at the various performance and lag issues many encounter, also it easily eats up 2 GB of RAM without looking like Crysis or something like that so,..

On that topic why the heck has the Fire and Sword exe the large adress awareness flag set whereas Warbands doesn't? Do any of you know if they plan to update WF&S to 1.5x?

As long as the hud is removed (and making actions more smoothy), it will be good.  Also the pewpew animation looks like gun fire.

I like the idea of customizable weapon(I am kind of  sword collector) and fighting school (I am also kind of martial arts/fencing lover), these elements can make it very different from mb.

The shadow is too heavy and action needs improvement because  their characters look like dancing lady and untrained millitia while swinging their weapon.

Everyone seems like doing hit and run in that video is just because all of them are noobs, don't you see that they cannot even block?

[maounobu]

One certain contribution of this game is that it could push mb developers to think twice about the release date of mb2.

You have multiple personalities or did you just miss the edit button?

[Materia]

I was excited, but when watching videos, Im not anymore.

Just another retarded arcade game.

[Odion]

I like the sprint button, that will give you an advantage over unaware archers.
I like that xbow/archers can only shoot in 1st person
I like the slow loading of the xbow, and the fact you cant hold the long bow shot permanently.
And i like the deep customization.

Fun fact: Warband also gets laggy and weird at some point, like 150 players or so.

Even if you have a good computer.

All people who're saying that it's shit are retards. Play the game first
