Shit I tried to play EU 1 today. Didnt have any fun at all. My 2h heroistic ass either got almost always lanced, shot to pieces or some lucky shot acctually hit me and 1 shot took 70% of my HP. I did lots better with my shielder/1h/thrower alt thou cause the archers didnt take careful aim due to me acctually carring something that could block arrows and the lancers avoided me cause those throwingspears do hurt like hell. You could say I should L2P, but its not even that fun when the majority of the server can easly counter your class. But what else you can do except stop playing. Cause alts are a waste of time and respecing to a different class is just a painful action.
But the mod will never die aslong as Siege still exsits.
Also my suggestion would be Conquest gamemode or something, were you respawn. Cause Stratbattles are still pretty popular, thou EU1 itself is not.
Dont get me wrong, I like to dodge arrows and avoid cav etc, but only aslong as its in reasonable ammount. I dont wanna dodge arrows that will block out the sun.
