Hiya, just wondered if anyone else here has experienced a bug where you cannot see the banners above friendly troops even with the option turned on in the settings? Can't seem to find the issue and I just can't play this way .

I am having the same issue mate, I've tried everything, but the only thing I can even think of that I've done recently that may have caused it is update graphics drivers, but you say yours just happened. But yeah, only thing I can think of is the new ATI drivers for some reason giving bad performance on Warband? sucks, but that's the only thing I've done recently myself that may have caused it.

BUFF SWORDS

Make combat faster all around so we can see some real melee combat. Or maybe this is just down to servers using the "slow combat" option? I don't know but most of the time it feels like I am fighting in a jar of honey and that gets pretty annoying when sometimes it takes so many hits to kill someone with a sabre, when a bayonet is faster and also does alot more damage ( only two attack directions is not a disadvantage when combat is so slow and the bayonet is faster ).

Either way, I think melee combat would be improved all around if it were more fluid and faster paced.

My only personal gripe is how weak horses feel themselves, i.e they don't feel like they have any mass or strength, bumping one guy shouldn't even make the horse flinch and you should certainly easily bump through an infantry line.

It's also the reason why AI cavalry get so owned in Commander Battle, they bump a couple of guys and the resistance is so strong to the bump that they end up stopping or slowing during the fight to the point that the friendly cavalry behind them crashes into their back, then all your cav end up immobile, bunched up and get bayoneted hard, because the horses aren't strong enough to push through, which is a joke. My cav regiment got owned hard even though I hit an unaware infantry line from the back, all dead, only half the enemy Infantry died and I was responsible for nearly half of those kills.

If you haven't played cRPG as cav you should go and feel how the horses bump through people, that's how horses should be.

I played for 2 hours and lost count of how many players I see purposely firing rockets at team mates who were leaving the spawn area, IMO teamkilling purposely has always been a bannable offense so why wouldn't it be now just because they're using rockets? ban them for a few days, get their key logged, if you catch that key doing it again then give a perma ban from your server.

If someone keeps accidently getting TKs with rockets, they should be warned to use another class/weapon as they clearly aren't efficient enough to use it and are helping the enemy more than they are their own team, if they refuse and carry on using it and end up with more TKs, a temp ban should teach them to either be morecareful in future, or use another weapon. There are only so many accidents that are excusable before it becomes a problem. I know my patience will run out very quickly if someone from my own team keeps "accidently" blowing me up because they ****ing suck at using the rockets.

My only complaint about cav is that a player has too much resistance to a charging horse, when you hit a player it feels like the horse is struggling to push him over, the horse should breeze over one man easily and it certainly wouldn't struggle to smash through more than one. Not that I'm saying it should do any more bump damage than it already does, just think the players resistance to being knocked over by a horse should be weaker. Especially considering horses feel sluggish as it is.

I know british get a better deal but you look at most games and the pricing follows a similar pattern

Its not right, but it happens anyway

$10 is £6.2 and $10 is 7.5 Euros ( keyboard has no Euros sign, lol )

So it's clear the US get a much better deal, 10 euros is £8.20, so we are only getting a 20 pence better deal than the people paying with euros, but the US dollar users get a much better deal.

Not that I really care, it's peanuts, literally.

Whilst I don't think they are overpowered, I do think the swords are slow compaired to the bayonets yet the killing power seems the same, which seems wierd considering they were actually designed for the sole purpose of melee combat, yet the bayonet is just a spear head on the end of a clumsy rifle. That's just my observation anyway.

Bought NW this morning on Steam and played it just fine, so not even a day after release it's fixed, what's the crying for, is your life really that dull? plenty of good games have one issue or another on release day because of things unforseen or out of the hands of the developers and most of the time they get fixed ASAP, which has happened here. Sure it's dissapointing on release day when the game you got doesn't work yet, but just go do something else instead of making a thread crying about it, it is not going to change anything, be patient in future before you **** the bed and make a cry thread.

It's no ones fault tbh, Steam probably only had 500 keys because they massively underestimated the sales and only wanted that amount of keys, most likely because they didn't realise exactly how many people would buy it and TW didn't want to make a promise they might have not been able to keep, considering Warband doesn't exactly have a large playerbase compaired to alot of other popular games and NW is just an improved version of a mod for that game, TW did not want to oversell themselves, that's fine. Neither company wants to take bad risks for good reasons, they didn't need to take the risk, the keys went, then they got more and it was sorted, no problem and that's just business and business is required so brilliant games can keep being produced.

I hope this thread is banished to the after life seeing that this problem is now fixed ( fixed within half a day at that, boohoo, my life is over ).

Well considering I've only played it for about 2 hours I'd say the most memorable thing that made me lol is when I was dead and spectating a line of Frenchies that marched onto a hill and started firing, a British cannon fired and killed 3 or 4 of them, then British musket and rifle started firing and another few fell down, I tried to imagine the few left had **** their virtual pants by that point.

I don't see peoples problems with it tbh, sure it can be more 'accurately' done but it's never going to be like some kind of exact historical replication and personally I don't see the issue with that, it's just a game, to have fun playing.

I was "engaged in masturbation" yesterday with somie swadians and just before the end of the half hour long battle with my penis i charged past some swadian and cracked him in the face with my bellend and though hehe, i took his head off. And it got me thinkingh a bout addign removeable limbs to the game.

Does Matt have a vagina? because alot of women I know act and react irrationally like that, lashing out at people just because they disagree with them or don't do things exactly how they want them to, especially when they're on their monthlys.

Either that or he's very young, because anyone who acts this way and also abuses his power to ruin peoples game experiences just because they don't want to do what he says, is not mature enough to handle having any kind of power over people.

It's quite obvious after reading the thread, which sadly is the first one I have read here, that it isn't just one or two odd occasions, it's obvious he is doing it alot, I have seen it happen on countless servers for countless mods, imagine all of the people he does stuff like this too that haven't posted here?.

This being the first thread I've seen, because I wanted to check the mod out and the community stuff, I don't think I'm going to even bother downloading it if this is the kind of admin I'm going to have to deal with.

I noticed you said he was banned, I sure hope it wasn't for this thread.

No, I checked his last few posts etc and it just so happens this guy doesn't even own Warband, he made a thread asking for a key or something about trading keys, so it was obviously to do with that thread and not this one.

Yeah, it would make being randomed even more fun when you're dead for so long.

Eh, spear damages are low enough, polearms also lose 20 range off of their length because of polearm grip so they aren't as long as you'd imagine either, the longest spears are also very slow.

Swinging spears was also a normal thing to do in certain posistions, it's different being in a wall of spears than it is being alone and having no one around you, but I am unsure that the swings should have pierce damage ( that's how I remember them anyway, unless it's changed since I played last ). I think they should use blunt damage personally as swinging the spear is most likely going to hit with the shaft or the blunt part of the spearhead, at most it would slash with the tip and be cut damage.

What are you smoking? Im not defending archers, I think archers in native are a joke. Beat some crappy farmers in crpg?? When I joined that mod, I was the only farmer, fighting tincans with huge 2h swords. Now I have the best build chars in that mod, for my playstyles, I kill who I want when I feel like it. Its not a great mod tho.

LOL, best build chars in the mod, kill who you want when you want, no you don't, stop spewing egoistical bull**** and acting like you are anywhere near one of the top cRPG players.

But yeah, the point some of the people in this mod are putting across is, it's a melee orientated mod, get over it.

Perhaps so, still felt like a groundhog thread to me though  .

Lol, it's more based on the day repeating itself, like this thread being repeated, the last one is less than halfway down the second page. Just felt it was the easiest way to express what I felt when I read the OPs post, but I guess not many people have seen Groundhog Day.

Guess I was also surprised that he thought he was the first person to hear "low porn orc" and thought it would be funny to make a thread about it.
