WotR and why we suck at it and dis it

[owens]

Is the War of the Roses hate because Warband players myself included are terrible at it?

I imagine so. I persisted with it given no choice and i like some of its features others i hate. The fact that relative weapon speed is logical and that armour actually works in a realistic way is really cool. Weapons breaking is good but in my opinion primary weapons should be tougher along with certain secondaries, others being special tools.

Cav is retarded. After the latest patch archery is balanaced.

The combat is completely different to that of warband. No hilt slashing when, it comes to weapons what you see is what you get. I like the way some weapon build combinations hard counter others. I dont like the way stabs work. its rediculous that the stab hits to one side of centre screen.

Welcome to the 1h over head.

It really isnt that bad.


Do you get it though. Maybe we are just used to warband and its non sensicle for someone coming from a different gaming background?

[Christo]

Are you being paid to defend that piece of shit?

I can't see any other logical reasons right now.

[Vibe]

we hate on it because the game is a fucking abomination

I am pretty good at WotR with my light armor 1h mace character, i just spin around high armoured shitlords  , and critical strike them. My ping helps me ofc.

Also its so easy to play with Poleaxe , you can make instakills if you hit the enemy with the right timing .

Yeah, the reason Warband players hate WotR is because its a retarded game. Hope their next game will be better.

It's funny to read the posts of the paradox forum, "so sad that WoTR battle is not as dynamic as in MB", "I would like to make the game more like the MB", "I hope the Vikings will be more similar to the MB than to WoTR", etc.)) I think they got butheart every day 

And I hope Melee will be more similar to the MB than to WoTR

Not to be cocky or arrogant, but that's the last reason I hate it. I'm actually really good at the game (as I'm sure most people are who have come from a significant background in c-RPG, all my friends who play c-RPG and tried it are just as great as me at it) and it's incredibly easy. It's extremely dumbed down compared to c-RPG. Me and all my friends/clanmates who play c-RPG and tried WoTR, will literally just roll servers, yet we still don't have fun. Why? Because it's a shit game. Tried as hard as I could to not sound super arrogant, sorry if I still did. But to be fair, I'm sure anyone who's played it after playing c-RPG has raped shit just as hard and knows exactly what I'm talking about.

You're not Activision enough to call a reskin/DLC "their next game"

I dunno Owens, I would prefer to go back to playing DTV than WotR. I spent a few hours playing it and tried not to be too critical, but I couldn't ignore the terrible animations and hit registration.

Also, is it just me, or does landing a hit on someone not cancel their attack or stagger them or do anything? That's game breaking if so. Hopefully it was just because I was a low lvl or something.

WotR sucks, because WotR sucks, not because we suck at it (it's an easy game to be good at, if you're not retarded). 

I gave it up due to the lack of any real noticeable difference between hitting an enemy, being blocked when swinging, or missing your swing.  Also it was hard to tell if I hit someone, was blocked, or missed entirely.  Didn't like the gimmicky cut scene executions or resurrections.  Felt like an arcadey/cod version of Warband. 

Chivalry was actually a really good game, 10x better than WotR (still not as near and dear to my heart as Warband or crpg)

Last time I played WotR properly I went 33-3 using ONLY thrusts with a 2h sword, no attempt to block, just run and thrust, easy as shit on that broken combat engine. All the whilst there are other weapons that are nearly completely useless, why? because even though the basic ideas they implemented were good ( weapons having sweetspots to hit, armours deflecting etc ) they never actually finished or balanced it all.

 Why would I use a weapon that has a tiny sweetspot that struggles to hit anyone because the slightest ping difference means that even though on your screen you hit him with the axe head, on his screen you slightly didn't and either missed or hit with the shaft, just one example.

Not only is the combat engine completely fucked up but a lot of the abilities they designed are retarded, there is a difference between warbands kick feature and having a skill or ability that all you have to do is either look at enemy and push it or block an attack and get an automatic free hit, examples again.

Basically, it's an attempt at a more "realistic" medieval game that failed and ended up as a broken, arcade, piece of shit game.

I would love WotR if blocking weren't reverse - you have to click then move the mouse to block (WTF!?) - and a couple of things were better, but especially for the blocking system. I like the fact that lag affects the player with low ping and not like in Warband, but the silly blocking system is unplayable if you are used to Warband's.
