Mount&Blade (Warband too) thread V. Knights of Calradia - Games

[QUOTE=Painseeker;35850617]I've only ever owned the original Mount & Blade. What am I missing out on by not owning Warband? I haven't really looked into it all that much.[/QUOTE] I only played the original Mount and Blade, but I think Warband adds the desert faction, and it has multiplayer and a few more things, but it doesn't seem that much of a difference. Correct me if im wrong

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35849662]After playing some cRPG, I can say I don't like it. Take the worst part of multiplayer games and put it in M&B. That's cRPG. Everyone has much, much better gear than you, there's clans that team up and make their team be invincible (really), and it really takes all the fun away.[/QUOTE] Armor is not a problem if you use piercing and blunt weapons granted you raised your strength.

You are ALWAYS useless from level 1-10 basically. [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Heigou;35850039]My only complaint is how everyone must absolutely abuse everything in the game, from 360 spinning to point blank killing you with the chainsaw haft of pikes to spazfeinting until the animations breaks and you can't do shit and so on.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's pretty annoying. Everyone seems to play to win and not to have fun. Every time I see some guy in European armor with a nodachi I die a little inside.

Also what module should I use for a good, vanilla-like singleplayer experience? I am ashamed to admit this but I never actually got into M&B SP

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;35851776] Yeah, that's pretty annoying. Everyone seems to play to win and not to have fun. Every time I see some guy in European armor with a nodachi I die a little inside.[/QUOTE] Yeah i enjoy(ed) outfitting my character with fitting gear.

Correct me if im wrong[/QUOTE] Graphical overhaul: Support added for HDR, FSAA, depth of field, soft particles, tone mapping, and many other effects New models with greater detail and high-quality textures Multiplayer battles with up to 64 players.

Try to win a lady’s heart through poetry or bravery Improved mechanics for soldier morale: Soldiers will break and run away if their morale gets too low Pick any projectile off the battlefield for use as additional munitions New motion-captured combat animations Numerous improvements to the combat system: Your shield will still stop arrows even if you are not actively defending Just some of the stuff from the store page

So I restarted this game and got a new save, but now I get ridiculous frame rate issues. I chose to be an impoverished noble, did that some how do anything to my game?

[QUOTE=vizard38;35853184]So I restarted this game and got a new save, but now I get ridiculous frame rate issues. I chose to be an impoverished noble, did that some how do anything to my game?[/QUOTE] There's memory leak problems, if I'm not mistaken.

Is there any sort of fix?

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35852971]34[/QUOTE] Uh I greatly doubt that

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;35853613]Uh I greatly doubt that[/QUOTE] Isn't the cap 30? [QUOTE=sami-pso;35852942]Yeah i enjoy(ed) outfitting my character with fitting gear.[/QUOTE] Same, I try to justify keeping heraldic mail on my character because it weighs less than plate mail, but really it just looks cool.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35852971]34[/QUOTE] haha, how

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35852971] I only played Native singleplayer, I'm using Floris Extended now and so far so good I've heard Native Extended is good too[/QUOTE] Does Floris Extended require Floris or can it be standalone?

How the fuck, the highest level in the entire mod right now is like 36, unless you mean before when Leveling past 30 was much easier OR you said your age instead of actual level. If you did the newbie mistake, you were actually Age 36 (Level 21 I believe). Ninjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'd

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;35854279]Does Floris Extended require Floris or can it be standalone?[/QUOTE] In the installer, just select Floris Expanded. It lets you check multiple options so you can install more than one mod, but Expanded includes everything.

God, Prophesy of Pendor is so fucking good, I may never play Native again. Anyone else have this mod? Also, who is the best claimant of the throne to support so I won't get my shit kicked by the entire kingdom?

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35854357]oh lol 34 is the age [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] well this might explain it then [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] my KD is 5/50 such a fun experience[/QUOTE] Heh, you quit at about the exact level where the average person might start getting even kills/deaths if they went with a typical build. I do wish the developers would have just focused on cRPG instead of shifting all their efforts to Strat (which made the community completely insufferable, if you ask me.)

Played one battle last week and it'll be my last, it was Tulga, the devs just added like 50 layers of walls except they make no fucking coherent sense so you get stuck in small pits of doom for fucking ever and you have to suicide or you just fly away because you hit a fucking ledge.

[QUOTE=Amsay;35853804]Isn't the cap 30?[/QUOTE] No, but most builds end there. When you hit 34 you generally retire and heirloom something. Leveling is exponential so it becomes super not worth it to level past 31. Hitting 34, for instance, if your average multiplier is x3 would take just under 400 hours.

The enemies are not where you see them because of ping. Leading you target movement may allow you to hit more effectively the enemies.

I fail to see the point of buying gloves in MP. 90g for 2+ body armor, 350 for 4. That's just cruel.

The US crpg server is full of people who play to have fun, full of hilarious and noticeable faces. The EU server is what you got to stay away from, everybody is plate shielders and horsebumpers, half of them don't speak english, and they could care less that your 14athletics peasant gimmick alt is sickling crops. :(

Can't find any boots, gauntlets or fucking arrows in the shops. Google says its because of new update (which was back in this June 1.142) and I have 1.15 something now. And I still have the same problem Playing Diplomacy OSP mod.

[editline]7th May 2012[/editline] Holy shit, fighting on EU duel right now, what the hell, I'm being one hit killed more often than in NA, I thought we were the strenght crutches :(. I got one hit killed three times in a row by a german greatsword and Vibe's one hander, I do have no head armor. My only explanation is European players are smarter and knows to aim their hit rather than crutch on massive strenght so that they can just glance hits and spam your torso for one hit kills. [editline]7th May 2012[/editline] Welp, Fighting N4B_AtEsSs, get hiltslashed 24/7, I thought only NA was spamming hiltslashes, jesus christ the playerbase is just bad on both sides, having to block twice in a row because hiltslashes is really boring and stupid. [editline]7th May 2012[/editline] Good lord, I use a 43c weapon with 8 PS and this Templar_Tengil guy still took over 8 hits to kills. [editline]7th May 2012[/editline] Nord_Tor hiltslashing me with this GLA and spazfeinting until the engine breaks and until my Ping can't keep up. It appears that the playerbase is in love with their spinning hiltslashing bullhonky shit on both sides of the pond, it's just manageable in NA because I have the ping to react unlike my 100+ ping on EU.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;35868062]It's times like those when me and my friends get on our ninja characters and throw daggers in people's ugly strength crutching faces.[/QUOTE] I recently tried a STF gimmick character, it's really fun and surprisingly effective, you should try it out with me. 18/27, 2 ps 9 ath, GLB. It's surprisingly effective and even with only 2 PS, the speed bonus of 9 athletics and the GLB's high damage really makes up for the lack of PS. Even if you can't crushthrough much, you can still scare people with the Long Maul by zipping around the battlefield with a crush through weapon :D.
