[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;37536951]I find it so hilarious when people go as Khergit Lancers and try to take on a Rhodok with an Awlpike, they get slaughtered.[/QUOTE] Awlpike, don't you mean... err what is it called, the other pike? I think only Swadians and Khergits get the Awlpike.

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;37538555]Awlpike, don't you mean... err what is it called, the other pike? I think only Swadians and Khergits get the Awlpike.[/QUOTE] Fairly sure he means using the Awlpike as a Khergit, not as a Rhodok?

Khergits don't have awlpikes either I think [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] He means the other pike I can't remember the name

Vaegirs get the awlpike as well, I think. Not the long one, though

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;37538766]Khergits don't have awlpikes either I think [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] He means the other pike I can't remember the name[/QUOTE] Pike. It has 245* reach, slightly better than the swadian "great lance" And the overhand attack is rage inducing [IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/uA23t.gif[/IMG]

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;37539850] [thumb]http://niggaupload.com/images/uA23t.gif[/thumb][/QUOTE] Your gifs are really cool.

What I really hate is when an overhand misses completely but still does damage coming back up and kills you You basically get poked in the crotch to death

I think we would be surprised how many warriors throughout history died from just such crotch wounds. :v:

So I got into the War of the Roses beta and played it for the first time last night. I'm in a game and say, "The combat in this game is terrible compared to M&B right now. I hope it gets better before release." Someone responds "do u know how many people start playing and say that / keep it to yourself / ur just terrible" Jesus christ, it's not even a matter of opinion. The combat is unresponsive as fuck, the animations are awful, feinting doesn't work correctly Someone actually called somebody else an armor crutcher are you kidding, it might as well be called War of the Tin-Encased Roses [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] I feel awful when I play because something like 75% of the time when I try to block a side attack the game decides to throw up a block on the wrong side

[QUOTE=RichyZ;37542935]and scoring hits feels fucking horrible the animation doesn't even slow down or anything, the sword just clips through the enemy and blood particle[/QUOTE] Not to mention the damage numbers flashing up on the screen. Really? What is this, a jrpg?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;37542952]Not to mention the damage numbers flashing up on the screen. Really? What is this, a jrpg?[/QUOTE] That happens in MnB too

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;37543178]That happens in MnB too[/QUOTE] What [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] It doesn't have 72pt font giant red numbers floating up out of the person you just hit [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] oh good at least you can turn them off

new update released for WotR today looks like its 2 gigs. wonder what was added. or changed

I'm starting to find teammates in native to be more of a hindrance than help about 90% of the time. It could be 1v3 and I feel like I can take them, and some asshole on my team shows up and I die because I'm checking my swings, so I don't hit him. Honestly I feel like a lot of the time the 1 in 1v2+ has the advantage. It's easy to feint toward one guy and take out someone with his guard down, or run through with a shield and cause teamkills.

why not let the other guy attack while you hold behind?

I don't want to sit around for my teammate to die to mop up the wounded enemy after, I need FRESH blood also it is pretty much my mission in native MP to teach to people the hard way that a war cleaver and a left mouse button does not equate to melee skill

lead by example, best way to get people to do stuff. Also I personally do not join clusterfuck fights because everyone ends up whacking each other in the face, friendly or not.

in napoleonic wars you always want two people, so one goes up and the other goes down but that's about it, plus people don't really check themselves in a public match and usually kill me

Starting to enjoy War of the Roses a bit more. It'd be fun if the combat gets polished before release. Spear and shield is really good, probably because most players are too bad to actually manual block. [editline]5th September 2012[/editline] It is fucking IMPOSSIBLE to swing bills properly, even though they do great damage when they land.

War of the roses is honestly decent once you unlock the customization slots. They need to add more than 4 though :v: [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;37556911]Starting to enjoy War of the Roses a bit more.

[editline]5th September 2012[/editline] It is fucking IMPOSSIBLE to swing bills properly, even though they do great damage when they land.[/QUOTE] I use the short hand bills as my secondary. I use the first halbred bill as my swiss based class and I experimented for two hours with the spiked bill and it just didn't connect most of the time, unless you stabbed them, but if you wanted a stab based spear with occasional slashing, just no shield with the second spear :v: [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] Do you guys like crossbows or longbows? I'm experimenting with both, and I find that longbows are a bit good once you use the faster draw + longer draw perks, but I also like crossbows because of the addon that lets you immediately draw and shoot. Anyone got a decent loadout for efficient self defense, but still decent drawspeed and such?

I actually didn't realize there was a regular pronged bill, I was using the halberd. :v: No wonder it was so fucking long. Also, bills do DAMAGE jesus christ. [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] Someone was complaining to me that the spear thrusts pierce plate. Holy shit how dare a weapon that literally does nothing but stab pierce things [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] Learn. To. Block. Down.

I actually decided to play a marksman in WotR. It's ridiculous how men survive shots to the head, even unarmored.

I just got into the WotR beta. Is it good?

Playing 1257, I'm in Glasgow, and the guild leader's job is escorting a caravan to Damascus. [img]http://geology.com/world/europe-map.gif[/img] I did the quest, got 8000 denars and advanced 3 levels. It was worth it.

[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;37561540]Playing 1257, I'm in Glasgow, and the guild leader's job is escorting a caravan to Damascus.[/QUOTE] I looked 1257 up, but found 2 versions. Which one is the better?

[QUOTE=PieClock;37561488]I just got into the WotR beta. Is it good?[/QUOTE] It's quite cool, people give it bullshit cause it's blocking is superior though it isn't precisely supposed to work the same way.

There's only one problem with WotR, and that is there is a point everyone will reach where they'll just say "Fuck it, i'll make a Warlord custom class". Why? Because it's the most ridiculously hard to destroy class on the field. Unless you have barbed arrows or other piercing projectiles you're unlikely to make a dent on the armour, and fighting one with a melee weapon is even harder. They aren't that hard to pay for either, you could probably afford one after 5-10 games. That needs to be changed swiftly. Apart from that, the game is bladdy class.

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;37562693]It's quite cool, people give it bullshit cause it's blocking is superior though it isn't precisely supposed to work the same way.[/QUOTE] you mean inferior [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] Fuck's sakes. The Scot spams so fucking fast manual blocking is completely impractical against it. And forget about a riposte.
