[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;36681987]Sorry, the rest of us are in the U.S and we go to U.S events, which tend to be 8 or 9 EST, which is like 3 in the morning for western europe. However, if we get enough Europeans in the group, I'm sure we can get some euro line battles in for you guys.[/QUOTE] SUMMER HOLIDAYS m8 i can destroy a few nights NO BIG DEAL

[QUOTE=Nexosz;36682178]SUMMER HOLIDAYS m8 i can destroy a few nights NO BIG DEAL[/QUOTE] Go ahead and join the group then, I'll post announcements when we have an LB or pubbie raid coming up.

So when I look in the multiplayer server list, and I try a server that says cRPG it takes me to the purchase page for Napoleonic Wars DLC. So to play cRPG, I HAVE to buy the DLC?

[QUOTE=myalt22;36682629]So when I look in the multiplayer server list, and I try a server that says cRPG it takes me to the purchase page for Napoleonic Wars DLC. So to play cRPG, I HAVE to buy the DLC?[/QUOTE] no to play cRPG you have to use their launcher to launch the game.

[QUOTE=Xain777;36682703]no to play cRPG you have to use their launcher to launch the game.[/QUOTE] ah thanks, didn't know that.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;36680367] He said he'll have to talk over it, and he'd have to see how you perform, but if you guys are going tonight it'll be sweet.[/QUOTE] And it turns out we were 1v1 instead of the Sunday Linebattle. My CO is still considering allowing you guys in, I don't know what's taking so long.

Why do people get so pissed at musicians? I've been assaulted several times by my own team simply for playing a tune. I got shot and stabbed to death because a guy on the other team (who had a gun) killed me.

Were you that guy who plays music over the microphone? Don't be that guy.

[QUOTE=myalt22;36686319]Were you that guy who plays music over the microphone? Don't be that guy.[/QUOTE] I think he meant battlefield musicians, like drummers, fifers, pipers, etc.

[QUOTE=Holy Altnir;36686471]I think he meant battlefield musicians, like drummers, fifers, pipers, etc.[/QUOTE] The fuck? Is that some addition to Napoleonic Wars or something?

[QUOTE=myalt22;36686530]The fuck? Is that some addition to Napoleonic Wars or something?[/QUOTE] Yes. [editline]9th July 2012[/editline] When choosing a troop, you can choose role, like Ranker, Officer, Color Bearer, Drummer, etc.

And any soldier can play a piano.

And the bayonets have the worst hitboxes ever. I can be stabbing a guy in the face, do little damage, and he swipes at my side - not flitting me, just stabbing the air - and kills me.

It always confuses me and they almost always end up killing me. I guess it works.

All the magic of spinning is gone when you aren't in range or if that dude doesn't know what attack is the best. If, for example, you are blocking down, he can fuck you up by faking thrust and then going overhead. But if you don't block till it hits - he doesn't know what to do. It takes some time to learn, but damn it owns. And the most important? It's all in the numbers, always do 2vs1. 1vs1 is all about skill, but when you have a teammate helping you, and if you coordinate your attacks (thrust and overhead at once), that other dude is fucked no matter what. *sometimes, going forward is even better because point-blank doesn't deal any damage at all, and you can go around your enemy and confuse the shit out of him

Is it just me or is kicking just the worst thing ever. Like, there is always something you can do that is better than a kick. It has such short range and is so ineffective.

[QUOTE=Nexosz;36689414]sometimes, going forward is even better because point-blank doesn't deal any damage at all, and you can go around your enemy and confuse the shit out of him[/QUOTE] if they're spinmeister 2000's then they'll have no issue killing you at pointblank

I got shot and stabbed to death because a guy on the other team (who had a gun) killed me.[/QUOTE] Its great when people actually play along though. This one time the enemy team took me "prisoner" behind their artillery line and made me play the bagpipes in a little enclosure their engineers constructed. It was even better when a well-placed cannon shot by my team killed half of their's when it landed on my "prison"

[QUOTE=lord0war;36690901]Is it just me or is kicking just the worst thing ever. Like, there is always something you can do that is better than a kick.

Since there is no room to dodge kicks are unavoidable, and you can usually follow up with an overhead to kill them in one hit.

Man Warband MP is fun sometimes. When it's not some absurdly imbalanced faction/map combo I can just tear shit up. I love that practically everyone falls for feints and for switching targets in a 1 v. 2+ fight

[QUOTE=lord0war;36690901]Is it just me or is kicking just the worst thing ever. Like, there is always something you can do that is better than a kick. It has such short range and is so ineffective.[/QUOTE] Kicking is the only reason why I don't alt+f4 out of every single duels I have in Warband/cRPG/native/whateverthefuckelse. Endless block duels are absolute shit and I would much rather hang myself then have to fight someone for 5 minutes in a row without any of us landing a hit. Well placed kicks will end duels quickly, it's a great thing and no one really think about using or dodging them. When I duel good players where the duel would usually last 5 minutes before I die of braincancer because there's no god damned way to get a hit in, if I get a few well placed kicks, I can end the duel in 5 seconds. Kicks are fucking awesome, kicks makes me cum massive buckets, kicks are what saved my life from terminal diseases in warband. Ending duels in 5 seconds that would otherwise last infinity+1? Yes.

Thing is, how do you land one of them without them hitting you? Dodge and kick at the same time.

Block and kick.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;36696678]Thing is, how do you land one of them without them hitting you? Dodge and kick at the same time.[/QUOTE] It's mostly a matter of leading, it takes practice but once you're good enough at leading and knowing where they'll be the next second, you can easily kick them without them being able to hit. If you fuck up, you can always block mid-kick except downblock. I heard they wanted to remove blocking while kicking in cRPG (Could be wrong though, the playerbase loves spreading disinformation because they're retards and don't know shit) but if it happens to be true, I'm alt-f4'ing out of every single god damned duels. There's no god damned way I'll spend 10 hours fighting a single guy unless I get my kicking so god damned good that I'll be able to know I can hit with 100% certainty of not failing. There's also the problem where sometimes your kick impacts the guy at the same time his swing impacts your face, so you get slashed in the noggin' and he gets staggered by your kick, so another reason why removing blocking while kicking is shit.

[QUOTE=Heigou;36696348]Endless block duels are absolute shit and I would much rather hang myself then have to fight someone for 5 minutes in a row without any of us landing a hit.[/QUOTE] I hope you mean fights involving shields or in cRPG where level 30s can parry in a millisecond because their weapon skill is so high. Duels in native where both parties have to parry each other are anything but boring and are one of the things that still gets me on the edge of my seat these days, especially if they last a while. It is really the purest form of MB combat.

[editline]10th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=lord0war;36697552]Oh, I only play single player, that's probably why[/QUOTE] Kicking isn't useful in singleplayer at all.

I'm in a piratey mood. Anyone know of any good mods that involve pirates for Warband?

Just played a TDM. My team was winning, and my score alone accounted for more than the difference between our team scores. :|
