February patch preview, input appreciated

[F i n]

God damn give us a melee only server!

Or remove archery.

Or limit the ammount of Archers / Team - as in almost every shooter there's limits to being sniper.

edit..nevermind

Can anything be done to make polls less obtrusive? I would recommend making them at least half the size if they are still gonna appear in the bottom of the screen, but preferably shrink them and throw them up top or something. Heck, we honestly don't need any sort of heads up other than the red chat in the log. More often than not a poll is either a rage/troll poll, and we don't need our game interrupted for that. If someone actually deserves the kick/ban, then the people in the server will expect a poll to be coming and will easily notice the bright red text show up on the kill/chat log.

It's there, but it will be a pain to test it. Kicking/banning is easier.

Silly question: What do you think of making some 2h usable on horseback with the polearm swing animation even if it looks off? 2h that can't be used with shield receive a ~25% raw damage reduction anyways.

Fix the fucking hafted blade on horse back first jesus christ! Ive played this mod since like beta and that shit still gets me everytime i see it. If 2Hs looked like that on horseback this game would be more ridiculous then it is now and thats hard.

I like the Idea but it should not be abel for every 2h weapon, for example for the normal Great Sword and the normal Maul

[AwesomeHail]

What?! NOT MAUL CAV?

it may look stupid and will be ineffective but boy it would be fun
and feel epic

and do some damage

yes

[Molly]

Doesn't native have it so that sideswings from a maul on horseback do crushthrough?

Realistically it would make sense... but then probably any blunt weapon from horseback at speed would be crushthrough

[Grumbs]

Before the patch goes live is it possible to have a large patch test somewhere? Would suck to get this patch and have issues that can't be patched again for months

Glorious times of Morningstar with crushtrough. Dede used to rock it when I started playing the mod and was quite good with it.

[San]

Maybe for later, but it did look hilarious when I tried with a greatsword. One of the hands don't properly rest on the pommel, but the animation isn't that great for polearms either. A few more polearms may become swingable on horseback though.

@Grumbs

For some reason, my test server no longer shows up on the crpg list. I am worried about autobalance, old knockdown roll tweaks, lag, and new items.

I saw your test server up yesterday or 2 days ago.

[San]

Oh, then it just doesn't appear on that list for me then. That's good to know.

Maybe it has something to do with it not being Official!

2h cav best cav!
But what do you mean by pole animation?
You talk about that horible swings of polarms or stabs only?
