1 kill 53 deaths.

[RandomDude]

Some people already made good posts but I cant resist posting myself;

Dont worry about a low K:D at the moment. Depending on your class + how you build your character it can take you longer to get kills than other classes.

If you put any thought at all into what stats you want for your char and didnt just do random clicks then I'd be surprised if you cant get some kills at 20+.

For myself i put all stat pts into strength until I reach the number I want to max at and then go agi. This means I have all my powerstrike and can use my flamberge at the earliest opportunity (I also usually convert skill pts early if I plan on doing it at all)

I dont think there's any more advice I can give about playing as a lower level that no-one else has given - I either grab a pitchfork and try to stop cav/interrupt enemies while a team mate is fighting them or just take a wooden longsword and hit people over the head (especially effective if they have no head armour). If you're putting pts into strength first then it wont be long before you can change weapons.

I would also recommend playing siege (as another poster suggested) if you need fighting experience as the respawn times are lowest there (meaning you play more and spectate less).

DTV isnt bad for fighting/levelling but it doesnt really teach you much for the other modes, except maybe some manual block practice with a lack of feinting (if you're using DTV for manual block practice then why not just play the tutorial and train there? You dont have to worry about dying.)

I remember when I first started playing crpg, my first kill was pretty goddamn exciting.

If you really want kills early on, do what I did and pump that strength up to 20 before even touching agi. Started getting decent kills pretty early. Blunt or pierce weapons help a lot too.

You can't kill people with 6 str, weakling. Do you want to tickle them to death?

Lies! I remember headshotting someone twice with a hunting bow and killing them at level 4!

[Kafein]

Each time I retire I enjoy the peasanthood and the few kills I make more than 100 of them at level 30. but I know that allways being a peasant would become boring after a while.


The most epic thing you can do in cRPG is sparta-kicking someone (an enemy xD) at level 1. And get a kill with it, ofc.

[Cingal]

A lot of people seem to be forgetting fun is the most important thing that should be happening.

Not fun to die 53 times and kill 1 person.

[Phazey]

Cingal, that's just a matter of preference. I loved those first long hours of cRPG as a peasant. When i started, it took days, not hours to get to a decent level and get some proper gear.

You have it easy. If you can't handle the challenge, go 'skip the fun' and make a level 30 character. But trust me, there is no substitute for skills and experience. People just need to practice a bit on the duel server. Get a bit of training from an experienced player.

[Blondin]

it depends if you prefer to have fun by killing other in the easy way, or if you prefer the challenge.
for the easy way, go singleplayer.
For the challenge (and the rage with it) go to multiplayer.

cRPG is not harder than Native, it's just that there is more noobs in Native (or more skiled player in cRPG) so you die most in cRPG.

[Cingal]

I fail to see the "Challenge" in running around, getting 1 shot and waiting until you have enough money and EXP to actually be useful.

The simple fact is that, getting 1 shot and barely even doing damage to people is not going to be fun for a good number of people.

Ideally, a newbie server or something like that would be the best idea.

It takes you about 2-4 hours to reach lvl 20 or so...

[Cingal]

At x1 Multiplier it takes you almost 11 hours to reach 20.

So, unless your running around constantly with 5x, "2 hours" is completely wrong.

2-4 hours, however, may be possible, if you constantly have 3x-4x, which is also highly unlikely.

Play DTV for the first few levels then.

I refer to my statement of fun, but, yes, that's entirely possible.
