The better days of cRPG

[SMEGMAR]

Anybody else remember the days when cRPG wasn't this fucking horrible?
I remember days when 1/2d polearm users could jump and spin around and really make the most of their weapons.
I remember the days where polearm and 2h were on the same tier thanks to polestun.
I remember the days where shielders didn't suck and get assfucked ALL OF THE TIME by thrust glance.
I remember the days where crossbowmen, throwers and archers could jump and shoot.
I remember the days where ladders could be thrown and the fun that came with them.
I remember the days when lances hurt.
I remember the days when horses didn't have such autismal riding difficulties.
I remember when projectiles did damage.
I remember when black armor didn't look so fucking gay.
I remember when turn speed was fluid and natural.
I remember when 2h wasn't the ONLY class to play.
I remember devs slowly destroying this game month by month with needless updates.
I remember when the servers were smooth and responsive.
I remember when battle wasn't just a clusterfuck of cowardice.
I remember when this game was fun.

I remember the days where crossbowmen, throwers and archers could jump and shoot.

This I really do miss, for the fun and versatility factor.

The good ol' days will never return.  Their logic in balance is nerf everything until 2 h is supreme and it worked.

[Dooz]

Sounds like shit. I like the game now.

[Arjay]

It appears that the european players enjoy the current dumbed down combat.
With their support M:BG will turn out like chivalry.

- Polestagger was a garbage mechanic, and even though I abused it every day until it got removed, I still lobbied for its removal and was happy to see the back of it. A completely unnecessary mechanic that made polearms too strong. Maybe polearms didn't receive a good parachute, being small speed/damage increases or other small buffs to compensate the loss of it, but I prefer it over having the overpowered polestagger.
- 2H thrust needs a small wiggle, polearms needs a small wiggle and 1H needs a small wiggle to not bounce. Maybe if you thrust all the time with low pierce weapons (which 1Hs have quite a bit of, true) then you're fucked against really heavy armor, but against lower or medium armor 1H thrust is viable compared to polearm thrust (though the 2h one outshines both the other by quite a margin)
- Ladderpulting was fun. Every round in a map with a roof ending up with 5-10 roof monkeys that destroyed the ladder was a pain. If you tried laddering up yourself, they'd kill the ladder just before you reached the top, for added fall damage on top of the misery of having untouchable ranged units on the other team. I was happy when they removed that garbage.
- While non-loomed ranged weaponry is too weak (I would like looms to only increase draw speed, projectile speed and accuracy, and have the damage of all bows around loomed damage now instead), the fully loomed ones hits like trucks. Even with 23 strength, I had rus bows and throwing axes black baring me in one shot and getting one-shot by arbalests in the latest strat battles. They should hurt, and they do. Problem is, like mentioned, the difference between loomed and non-loomed ranged weaponry.
- All classes are viable, some more than others. I find 1h + shield easier than 2h myself, because of the much lesser range threat, and I'm sure a lot of other people doesn't find 2h the easiest class to play.


Can't really disagree much with your other points.

I remember when Panos was banned....ah the good 'ol days

I remember when it was fun to die in the middle of a crowd and get rewarded for it with the radius bonus.  (That's about all I want to return)

Merely because back then the game was much less competitive (Except in strat)

I do not like being competitive, but sometimes I get sucked into it when everyone around me is.  That's when frustration ensues and yadda yadda.

Other then that, Bring jump throwing back.

I remember when black armor didn't look so fucking gay.

I don't.

You are clearly not a man of refined taste if you prefer the old black armour over the beautiful new one.
