    Who of the old guard are still around?

    Felt something disturbing tingle deep inside. Found this thread. 2005, reporting for duty. Avid Lurker back in the day.

    I think I had another account or two... Was going to check my old posts out... then I had a flashback and cringed, my skin crawled off the top of my head and was just executed in the corner of the room.

    Hey Guys/Gals. :smile:

    Which leveling system do you prefer Warband or Bannerlord?

    Vasdema said:
    That's the part of the system I dislike. At later levels you find yourself grinding skills you wouldn't otherwise use in order to gain levels for extra focus points for the skills that you do want to use. It all feels a bit... MMO-ish. It forces you into playing as a jack-of-all trades.

    "~~~~~~~~~~~"

    I'm for the level based on total XP method. All the way..

    I agree. Having to level up other skills in order to just gain more points for your favourite picks just doesn't make any sense, in a "game" world.

    "So my internet and power have been out for almost a week now. During that time I ended up playing a lot of Bannerlord (1.0.10) and Skyrim SE (unpatched PS4 version) while running off my generator. "

    That's pretty badass dedication, man!

    The M&B MP 'feel' from a veteran

    The individuality of customizing your character in a match is vitally important in my opinion. It's what made the experience so unique, as you could recognize other players by what they choose to where. This class based system with no customization feels SO shallow in comparison.

    [Suggestion] Close up ranged weapons

    That's reasonable.  Cue the shield breaking sound, for a stand in, and have the bow fall out of hand.  It's a great idea, sounds simple to implement.  It would make the bow useless at pointblank.

    Announcement: New Physics System in the works

    An arrow that smacks into a stone wall isn't going to be usable.

    Hardly the place to argue this I think.  It's just a suggestion.

    Announcement: New Physics System in the works

    Sounds exciting!

    I would love to see arrows bouncing off of stone and other "impenetrable" objects, as opposed to what we have now.  Arrow physics at this point could be handled client side as they would have no impact on game-play, thus having virtually no drain on server-resources.  Optional as-well, just like rag-doll.

    This would greatly improve the atmosphere of ranged battles between groups of archers.  The CPU drain wouldn't be too intense either, have the arrow bounce off the object depending on the angle, etc.  and then it could disappear after a few seconds.

    [Suggestion] Close up ranged weapons

    A "fear" effect?  That doesn't seem to make much sense.  Who would be more fearful in one-on-one, the heavily armored knight, or the armor-piercing crossbowmen?  ...Bullet through butter...

    -Decrease the walk/run speed by at most 1/3 WHILE aiming and it should make things a little more balanced.  An accuracy decrease takes effect when moving, but an actual penalty on movement would further balance bow and x-bow "situations".  Did people ever shoot, re-load bows while running?

    -The time difference for re-loading different quality ranged weapons seems minimal.  How about increasing the time it takes to load more powerful x-bows and bows, up to a maximum of 2 additional seconds for the siege x-bow, and maybe 1-2 seconds for the war-bow.  Longbow already has a brutal re-load time.  Historically, weren't longbows used to fire a quick succession of arrows?  And their accuracy was abysmal?  Correct me if I'm wrong.

    -A longer animation for "prepping" the throw of a javelin, axe, etc. would solve the insta-throw problem.

    Keep in mind these are just rough suggestions, mutilate them at your desire.

    [Suggestion] Melee friendly fire

    I support this idea.  But there must be penalties for injuring a friendly as-well.  Either taking off the clumsy soldiers health in an equal amount, or maybe a gold deduction? 

    This feature would force infantry to act more coordinated, and I think they would actually be more effective in a team.  Many times have I seen 5 infantry gang up on 1 lonely de-horsed chap, as a few other enemies move in from behind and score some free hits before the kill-lusters realize what just happened.  Implementing this feature would force infantry to think more strategically, thus more realistically.  Excellent idea.

    :idea:  Upon further consideration, this might not be such a good idea.  Unless it's effects were minimal, it might not be something worth spending time on.

    [Bug] Jumping while being hit by a horse

    Also, the collision sound gets played multiple times.  Sounds kind of funny.

    Make FF either on or off

    How about each arrow that hits a friendly player or horse deducts a certain amount of gold from the archer, taking into account factors such as distance, and whatever else.

    [Suggestion]Changes to Rhodok and Nord cavalry

    I like the idea of Rhodok horsemen having light crossbows.  Would add some flavour.

    [SUGGESTION] Make chat text darker/fade slower

    Papa Lazarou said:
    I think recent messages should be displayed whenever you press the chat key (Counter-Strike does this). It's not like you're going to be fighting.
    Click to expand...
    Yes.  When you press "T" or "Y" and the chat box comes up, all recent text should be displayed as well. 

    Maybe even an option to scale the fade-time for text, that would be nice.

    Remove something

    Alternately, make them smaller when ghosting, they're obstructing a direct view of the action. 

    Or even move them to a corner of the screen.  Although that could be a waste of time spent coding, as they seem to be bound to the actual character, iirc, and not a UI graphic.

    0.570 Warband does not recognise its own existence.

    Go to the start-menu!
    Click "Run"!
    Type dxdiag !
    Wait for it to load, then see if there are any errors.  Run tests as well.
    If nothing is wrong, re-isntall direct x.

    Un-install then Re-install Warband maybe?

    Invisible pants (graphics glitch)

    I'm guessing this has something to do with the "character detail" setting.  Put the slider to the left and it will use low poly models at far distance.  Put it to the right and it will use more high poly models farther away, depending on the setting.  At a distance, on the lowest settings, characters look "boxy" because of the low poly models, and the shaders are simple as well. 

    Of course I'm just assuming, based on my own low settings, it sounds similar.  A screenshot would be able to clear this up.  :smile:

    Test it out too, try putting character detail to the max!

    Yep, it's all written down at the start of the post.  I had also tried every combination of graphics settings I could think of. 

    BUT.  Version .570 is actually working :grin:.  I don't know what changed, but don't change it back!
