Trendsetters

[Umbra]

Chase probably made the Vaegir War Mask + Sarranid Guard Armour combination popular, something which I just cannot comprehend. It looks terrible and yet I see it popping up so many times.

It was popular because it was the go to min/maxer tryhard gear. Back then Sarranid Guard Armor was the best armor in the game stat wise + gloves were X2 weight so you could pack the heaviest for insane body armor for a medium armor setup. Add the "cool" + great stat wise Vaegir war mask + Back when Danish/German were the best weapons in the game and longsword was slower, not to mention that range was more important with the wonky old lolstab anim, and you get the best build possible.

Was The_Finn the first plated armor on plated charger dude, or just the first one I remember?

Dedicated Stone thrower - starts with a P, forget his name off top of my head - Fall 2010

Pebble_Pusher


also Rohypnol massively popularized cataphract + lance cav and horse xbow.

I can't say much for Trendsetters in other classes.. but Pike was definitely made attractive to me by watching Walt_F4 play back in the day. King Itchy when I very first started playing made me want to play an archer.

I can't really think that far back in terms of who started what trend or who was the first to be renown at what class. Tough to say.

Walt_F4 is/was Dexxta.

LIES! I thought they were separate people?

Noodles is/was gay.

My theory is that the popularity of the kuyak is partly because of the furry shoulder pads. Makes the character seem slightly more bulky. I'm sure if there was some of that ridiculous WoW style fantasy armor with shoulderpads twice the size of the head a bunch of people would use it.

[Phew]

My 1h/shield hero 4 years ago was Grok, if anyone remembers him on NA side. Grosse Messer, Elite Cavalry shield, red star and crescent banner. That was back when all the 1h guys were using scimitar+huscarl shield, so him wrecking with a Grosse stood out in my mind.

The model looks good, but most importantly it is slightly better than other armors around its price/weight level if you care more about body armor than leg armor. The Light Kuyak in particular.

Morningstar on horseback was first regularly used in cRPG by an EU cav player. Can't quite remember the name, one of the Guards/BD guys, iirc.

[Osiris]

pretty sure that was wookimonster

Also on your side of the pond, whoever was wearing full black armor, great helmet with hat and a bec (I believe his name was Gorath Goretooth). That guy defined the bec and the black armor.

It never became a trend but thanks for the mention.

Umm, no, there was another guy, who, at the time, was pretty much the only 2h cav in the mod. Wooki did 2h infantry and stuff.

started by assington suger balias and various nerds from archeage beta and brought to the attention of the global community and youtubers and c0d nerds everywhere but our autism never got its recognition.

I mean really if someone says a console peasant started these trends where the hell did they get the idea of misclicking on your numpad.

it was dedicated shitlordery and autism spread far and wide across mount and blade, mowas, archeage and war thunder

This came from an internet website from which I hail, which I will not name here among these uncultured swine and plebs.
