I am also having a lot more fun with this patch... this is IMO the best version i've played of the beta so far. I also love how I feel like I can actually MOVE and I'm not feeling like a 500lb person wobbling aroused. The extra speed has also made the battles much better as well imo.
this kind of game has been in my dreams since childhood... there is no other game ever like this, sure there are mods that are somewhat decent with medieval combat, but this is the most unique game in many many years.
I was mostly a third person fan, until I found a mod wich actually shows the helmet Was awesome...fighting on horse back, with the dark cornerns of the helm and the need to check where the head of the horse is gets hilarious first, but then it's all immersive and fun
I play 3rd person at all times. lol I'm constantly looking around and making sure I don't get lanced from behind or the side, or get sneaked up on. Sneaked... Snuck... Well whatever, I just don't want people killing me with a sword or any other weapon from a direction I can't see.
so you'd rather have an rts view of your character so you see where everyone is and whos coming at you from a mile away lol..
I personally think that the combat, and the game itself would be very different if servers had the option to make 1st person only. This is why I support a server option for that, among a million other things.
the ultimate would be 1st person with full friendly fire... that would force people to work together and not be so swingy circley jumpy like they are now.
Same here, but I know we are the minority. I was shocked when I started playing the beta to find I was one of maybe 2 people who played 1st person (this was when there were only 2 dozen people in beta, mind you). To me it is bizzare...this is probably the only good 1st person melee game out there, at least for multiplayer.
I don't care though I know I'm at a disadvantage, and maybe I don't get as many kills or whatever because of it.. but I have fun and thats the most important part.
Well, for me at least until, I have some ability to mimic the ability to turn my head without shifting my stance or such as in rl, I will never really go for 1st person as it is.
what is needed is like from Armed Assault 2 where you can hold down the control key and then move the mouse and it makes the screen move like you were turning your head, would have no effect on where your moving, just your head, and when you let go the view goes back to center.
this would DEFINITELY be a huge help.
I just cant bring myself to ever play 3rd person.. 3rd person is like easy mode to me, I'd rather stay in 1st. I can see that I am in the minority though
when you have the option to switch, playing in 1st person always gives you a disadvantage...
this is why I'm hoping we will have a server option to limit the POV change.. if this were the case I would only play on servers that limited to 1st person. This would be the best fighting.. period, and no being able to look all around your body.
The 24th Legion is a group of free knights and soldier's who owe allegiance to no kingdom. It is based on the discipline and spirit of the Roman legions of old. If you are looking to be a part of a highly trained and disciplined unit. The 24th may be for you.
The Roman's trained as they fought...
Good idea, but I think with that a low ping will be more important.
Even now some people with 60 ping whine endlessly about my ping of 30 after getting roflstomped.
I've basically given up on playing on any server that gives me a ping over 30 simply because I notice a huge difference in my ability to parry and not die on the lower pinged servers..
I think this would help the rhodoks. They are the only faction with no cheapish mail in any of their classes besides khergits. And the tribal armor is more protective than the ragged outfit. Just that rediculously overpriced surcoat over mail that people can almost never afford.
it would help everyone just choose what they wish and keep it instead of this loss you get now. I'm all for it.. personally I don't even care for the cash system.
I honestly agree... during the whole .623 period in 20+ games I never parried ONCE .. period... not I get into fights with guys where we parry back and forth 10+ times.
I've noticed more and more how much ping effects your gameplay in this game.
I've been on the forums for a while now and never saw one of these types of threads. Forgive me if I missed it. What is your favorite overall setup of weapons and equipment?
My most favorite is Nord with shield and one handed axe with throwing axes.. I can't stop the addiction of getting...
