I fixed my crash to desktop on the loading settings thingy by switching to directx7 mode(not sure why, but some texture files weren't appearing for dx 9?)
And I really enjoyed it, yea so what all my heirlooms got "nerfed", love all the new armor/website/balance
It was good to see some people playing I hadn't seen in a bit, worth the kinks
I for one am happy that a donation driven mod is given more attention than most "big company" games I've played it terms of staying with the twitch game balancing
(of course my bar mace got a much needed hefty nerf, my katana got a slight one and danish GS got a pretty good one)
BUT THAT IS WHAT BALANCE IS ABOUT, I mean we accept that when we play a beta that we truly want to be based on "skill"<---(if that's what you need to call it), so with that said even after over a week off and "weaker" weapons the results were the same(i.e. lots of carnage and fun
)
I love the new menus on the website, good that the space marine voice is gone, I don't think anythings fucked now or something because its not.....
this is GOOD that the developers actually want to balance this shit
Everyone should take a deep breath on this seriously, if you can fight per the rules of mount and blade you can kill people I guarantee it
and carrying an Arbalest running around pulling a pike/bar mace out of yer ass didn't improve the game(and I am the like the king of that style of play)
