Epic banner
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

MY EYES!

I will never be able to believe how the internet revealed the total percentage of idiots within the human race, it's literally shocking!

I will never ever understand why someone could choose to run around like a knight-samurai-Saracen. It would simply hurt my feelings of aesthetic and good look. No, not even "for the lulz", because dressing funny stopped being a good laugh at the age of... seven?

Not enough that you already implemented that fucking Weaboo and Ninja crap, now you also allow banners in neon colours? Can't this be moderated somehow? Giving some rules concerning the icon and the colours?
For example:

- no screenshots/photographies (the horse in the picture, for example)
- no items/things that didn't exist before 1600 (a car, a rifle, etc.)
- no letters ("TGC" - tight gangstas crew) unless implemented in some kind of banderoles with Gothic font (e.g. "Deus lo vult")
- no pictures which look "funny"
- no ugly colour combinations. Usage of complementary colours is advised.
- no picutres which do not look like made by a medieval artist and/or could not be embroidered onto a banner, excluding too soft colour gradients/shadows

This should basically restrict all banners to nothing else than what should fit to the banners we have already ingame.

Yes, I am quite intolerant in those matters.

SAVE OUR EYES!

Fuck you no it didn't. I'll have you know that my ballerina costume still invokes much laughter when I prance around the mall near my house screaming "FUCK THE POLICE" while tenderly groping any onlookers within arms reach.

Maybe someone can write a guide how to overwrite the ugliest banners?
Edit -> cmp said this is not viable because the launcher wil overwrite the banner every time you launch.

Even better would be a feature to list and replace banners on c-rpg.net, but i'm not sure such a feature has priority. I'd love to be able to replace the worst banners, like the neon pink one in the screenshot.
Edit -> the good news, for now, is that banners will be moderated. So i'm guessing the worst ones will be removed / forced to change.

That said, many of the banners are actually really cool. I was sceptical at first, but so far i find the whole new banner system very cool, aesthetically speaking...

This shit is going to start looking like an 80's ski slope, if you don't keep it in check.

Why don't YOU pay the 40-50k or MORE to get a banner? The only true requirements should be nothing offensive(racisim, porn) Colors can stay. You can't stand colors?

If you dislike custom banners why don't you buy all 147 of them yourself and change them into boring shit? No? Thought so, now fuck off you greedy fucka'.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Great point you made there...

What for some is boring shit, is for others just the only acceptable style solution.

I don't have anything against a pink banner, I guess they existed back then and pink probably was not the gay colour it is nowadays, but please no neon pink. And if they want a horse, then please a drawn one, because back then people didn't have cameras and shit.

No selective realism. It's either ALL realistic or not. If in game isn't real, why then should the banners be?

The developers have drawn a line in many aspects. For example there will never be (ancient) Roman stuff, or gunpowder weapons. So there is a
clear timeframe of roughly the middle ages from 500ad to 1500ad. You can argue what you want, but at least the timeframe is there.

The same applies for the items. There are no double headed Barbarian axes or dragon shaped armour. It has only what existed at that period.

Actually I just noticed that the only thing where the developers are really inconsequent are the geographic regions of where the different items come from. Just treat cRPG as a mod which involves all warriors who lived during what we call the middle ages now.

Which again excludes neon colours and photographies of horses.
