We've got our new Monday American line battle for NW starting in around ten minutes. Get in goons if you want to play.ExParrot posted:
These are a must now for Parrots mod, we did a line infantry only event just now and it was pretty hard to see. Looking forward to the next update though Parrot! SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Nov 19, 2013 |

In 30 minutes time we've got our EU Siege event happening. So get into the Mumble soon if you can play goons. Also, we might need another active goon to dropbox stuff for us. Our usual guy seems to have gone missing.

Drunk & Ugly posted:Is this an american event tonight? Steam isn't working right now so I can't check Nope, it is tomorrow. Also, some news about the Monday event. The guys behind it for some reason really weren't thrilled with the results and have changed the event to Wednesday. So chances are we are going to have to put up with the KPR if we want to do a Monday Line Battle event since they are the only group doing such an event. What does this mean? It means we can't be sloppy with it. Messing around leaving the line and shooting willy nilly will get us in trouble and annoy the poo poo out of me as I am responsible for your actions during this event. If you guys want me to get this event we've got to be slightly serious and try not and piss anyone off. Important people or otherwise.

If youre referring to messin' around at the beginning I think everyone seems to do that Otherwise, yeah, whats the point in playing line battles if you don't want to stand in a line. It's in the name

Even messing around the set up causes problems. To some us it seems pointless and fun to run around shooting at pubbies and standing in their lines but they are doing their own thing and to them it seems aggressive. They then complain to the Admin who is trying to set up a line battle of almost 200 people using terribly designed tools which they can't see because a massive paragraph of red goons killing other goons is obscuring the screen. I've been in both positions for quite a long time. Not asking we do nothing because you get bored, but since we need some new people to lead/some goons to get used to leading how about we maybe use the time practically at least once? better than getting kicked out of the only event we can get on Monday for a rapidly shrinking community of a needless expensive DLC for a old game. But yeah guys, I know it seems funny at the time but it sort of fucks us in the long term. We got to play ball because the other sporting fields are getting closed down. Also, I promised to post some pictures of the American Army in this era so here have some:      Basically, Napoleonic American soldiers had the style of the British and the symbolic Liberal colours of the French. Also, for those who are confused about the ballistics of the game a developer explains shooting dudes a bit more and how it works! quote:There is bullet drop, but due to the high velocity of the bullets, it is almost not noticeable. Why cant you hit people that are far away, with a pistol? Simple. Pistols have much lower velocity and therefore their bullets actually drop much faster. Bullet drop is heavy on pistols, but almost not noticeable on Muskets (Except for very long ranges.) SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Nov 20, 2013 |

Hi so I had some issues with the new spyglass texture in the enhancement pack that even Boogoose's Immaculate Spyglass for Gentlemen couldn't solve, so I hereby present Dr. Phineas J. Ampleforth's Spyglass Replacement Texture. For comparison, here is the original (non-enhanced) spyglass:  Dr. Phineas J. Ampleforth's Spyglass Replacement Texture  Download.

Yo goons, we got an American NW Siege event in 40 minutes time. Got us cannons for one map, general line infantry for another. So we get to blow and and attack fort walls tonight. Also, since the 22-i aren't interested in keeping up a pretty good event and getting numbers and we got a good turn out I'm biting the bullet and we're going to the KPR Monday event instead. Here is the rules for said event since he has no thread. Read them dammit. quote:NW Rules Got that? you goons gently caress up it is my fault remember that.

There was a moment where 10 dudes from USMC jumped over the wall directly in front of my cannon in a simultaneous attack but apparently they had two men in lead who crossed the bridge first. The bridge supposedly being guarded. I got stabbed as I was about to pull the trigger on all of them with grape, the very moment  Ultimate blue cannon balls man I also followed a squad at spawn to stay true to rules UNTIL the entire crew ran like lemmings directly into a very deep river where they lost all their ammo Our allies blow? And our enemies are bronies. God help us

Bad allied sappers and arty just make me so mad. I can handle that kind of thing during random pub games but even in line battles the barest level of situational awareness is apparently advanced level play.

Think that was some weird collision bug with the artillery and player hitboxes. Never seen anything like the tower mapping wise and now we know why. Anyway goons we have two line battles tonight in both time zones. In 57 minutes time from this post we have our new Friday evening EU line battle and later we'll have our popular Friday American event for NW. Come play if you feel the need and have the time.

In a couple of hours time we're going deep with our usual Bello Civili Roman Era mod shield battle event and now it is time to settle things once and for all with the whole banner issue with the S*P*R*G tag issue. The theme is birds. Birds in general. So basically grab any of the following 4:     Also, download said mod here and stick it in your Warband module folder if you want to come and try it out with us tonight. Event at 6PM EST/11PM Brit time Midnight EU time.

Javelin chat, the final javelin. Light javelins are useless. They are not easier to aim, they fly further. They do less damage. They still have the musket-like random deviation. A heavy javelin flies substantially less far and has to be aimed more in the sky to throw at a distance, however does fat damage and can kill a opponent as well as shred their shield. Throw a heavy javelin as you close and switch out, do not throw from a distance. This mitigates the randomness of the volley and makes it actually effective. But. Javelins kinda suck and are a minor bonus, not a do or die thing. You see maybe four javelin kills in a entire battle. Shields are nice. They let you automatically block and thwart ranged arms. However, current rules and numbers mean that the only ranged fire are javelins. In addition, shields are relatively slow to bring up and down; assuming their class's weapon proficiency is decent (Which for the most part they are) a person can just keep swinging at you and you can't do to much about it. Using a shield less means you block with your weapon, something you're already actually used to. Mount and blade is literally coded so if you attack immediately after a block (A rather tight timing) then you will hit the person before they even block, guaranteeing a hit. (I forget the details of this.) So you block faster and can keep fighting. Javelins from afar are to random to really worry about, so it's only a javelin directly in your face that's concerning. However, someone throwing a javelin will absolutely tank their speed, meaning you'll always catch up to them. In addition, switching weapons also tanks their speed and makes them "useless" for a second or so, meaning that someone using a javelin into a charge (Your's or there's) is actually rather dangerous. Blocking with a shield means you go just as slow, so just dodge and let fate guide you! Stab that fucker while he is helpless and I assure that even you goons can get him. Stop worrying about javelins. Rub faces with a guy. NW protip, to make it relevant: Block first, then attack up. People have trouble blocking up and if you block first then that usually messes up the unpracticed pubbies. It's what they do on us, after all. TK Charlie at all opportunities. Gently spite Nurdbot for fun and giggles. Gamerofthegame fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Nov 24, 2013 |

Welp, we had some good times but I finally decided after tonight to shut down our own Sunday Line Battle. Long story short, I'm kind of burnt out and don't want to work my rear end off to get attendance plus I have other things like to do now both online and in real life. It was pretty awesome though, ran that thing since Summer 2012 first on a goon funded server, then helped by the 38e. This does mean though I can look into this N&S event that appears to be doing much better than the one I tried as a future sunday event!

Well, it was fun not hitting things with you guys. I'm pretty sure I was following the wrong leader for half the match. Then someone started kicking me which either means I was out of formation or I just looked especially kickable.

I'll miss being able to give goons artillery or cav and watching them wreck the opposing side, watching silly fun rounds and in enjoying the simple sight of an almost 200 man 19th century battlefield going on in birds eye view. I won't miss the petty trolling, obnoxious admin panel that takes five minutes to navigate to ban somebody and the huge list of people on my friends list I don't know. Oh well, tomorrow we got two events in both time zones. Read the rules for the KPR one above.

Also, congratulations Gimbno for your new custom title. Your bravery opening that gate house during that EU siege which the pubbies never exploited will not be forgotten. Source image is from the creepy CSA models Hinkel is putting in his CryEngine sequel to N&S.

Gimnbo posted:Merely existing makes you look kickable to goons. I second this. The other day when we were rifles, I went and found the guy who TK'd me pre-live and kicked him twice after we went live and then ran off. It's rule 34 for goon NW. If it exists, you can kick it.

goon: "WHAT'S IN THE BOX" Morgan Freeman: "uh theres cavalry behind us" everyone is trampled and dies ~end scene~  Dead goons bringing shame to our flag  proof we don't die all the time, just most of the time:  As always it was a load of work and frustration that ended in short but worthwhile relief when I finally got to shoot a guy in the face. You heard it here first, MB: NW Line battles are much like masturbation. Was fun so thanks
