Yeah I applied too. I got really loving good at Mount & Blade to the point where I play with handicaps now to make it interesting and challenging and If this is what I think it is it would be awesome to see if others are the same way. And jousts. I can challenge people to a joust.

I've played a fair bit of the multiplayer. As they keep polishing it and adding stuff to it, it keeps improving, and is pretty much a medieval cross between Counter-Strike and Battlefield, depending on the game mode. Very good fun, although some of the players are far too good and I often die without doing any damage.

Are people still getting into the beta? I applied a few weeks ago and got nothing, and I've owned M&B since it first went on sale for $5 or whatever it was

About the signup page itself; if we bought M&B via Steam is there a way to grab the cd key somehow from that? I love singleplayer M&B and I'm assuming people have a better chance of getting into the closed beta if we bought it.

An expansion, although it may be a standalone expansion. It adds multiplayer and changes up the main singleplayer game by adding lots to it, apparently, but most of the singleplayer changes really scream expansion rather than pure standalone.

Davincie posted:So any more impressions? What are all the modes and such? There's your average kind of team deathmatch mode where you have two sides and you fight and die and respawn. There's capture the flag, a siege mode, a kind of control-point-capturing mode, and a battle mode in which the objective is to destroy/defend siege equipment, and you only have one life. This is the most CS-like mode. You pick an army and class (each round has two factions opposed, such as Swadians/Nords or Khergits/Rhodoks or whatever). Classes broadly split into cavalry, infantry, archer, although the Khergits have only two classes (lancer and horse archer), both mounted, though you can dismount. You have a certain amount of money to spend on equipment although you start off with default equipment too. Equipment is different for each class and for each faction - Vaegirs have bows and Swadians have crossbows, for instance. You earn money through kills and also through dying I think and maybe through round victories - your teammates' kills add a tiny bit to your money. It works pretty well though it's a bit rough around the edges. And like I said earlier, some players have worked out the most effective way to game the system. The equivalent of bunnyhopping AWPers is people with two shields and a two-handed battle axe, spinning wildly around so they get extra speed bonus from any hits. Or at least it was, they may have patched to change this.

No, the deadly 2 handers spam death machines are still there, and people take 2 shields when there are alot of archers around. There should be a speed penalty for having 2 shields

Yup that is true, 2 shields will be more encumbering and result in a noticeably slower running speed. I do think naked Nord with long axe beats naked Swadians, since the axe has longer range, more slice damage, and costs less than half the great sword. BLUE FISH! Davincie posted:So any more impressions? What are all the modes and such? This game is great, and is my favorite game to play, even after playing and getting tired of Borderlands, Dragonage, MW2, and after I beat L4D2. Netcode is pretty drat good, get crashes far less often, and the patches have been great so far. Definitely worth the purchase. The most often played modes (with the highest player counts) is going to be Fight and destroy (for the european servers)/ team deathmatch and siege. Fight and destroy is pretty much the same as team deathmatch where each round whoever survives wins, except for the fact that you can also destroy 2 objectives to win the game. Siege is what you think it is, with the objective to be king of the hill in the middle of the castle, and the defending team having a 20 second respawn while the attacking team is almost instantaneous. The attacking team can "man" the siege towers by standing next to it on the ground and trying to survive the onslaught of arrows, while archers in the siege tower can shoot back. Cash however is always short on hand since the constant dying, so you tend to scavenge weapons off of dead bodies. Chopstix fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Nov 23, 2009 |

The game is at Version 0.635 changes: ------------------------ Single-handed attack animation reduced slightlty. Horsemen can no longer swing or thrust through their horses. Reduced slope penalty slightly. Added icons for mauls and morningstars Turn-limit fine-tuned. Castle doors can be opened by only defenders You can now block with a weapon while kicking. Swinging attacks that hit feet may now cause the victim to fall to the ground. Changed couched lance animation so that shield doesn't obstruct view. Various bugs fixed. already, as opposed to the 0.615 in the OP.

drat, I didn't realize this had progressed so far. Applying. Must be fun to be on the Nord team vs Khergit.  Until you take a lancer's horse out from under him with a two-handed greataxe then bring it down on his back before he can get up off the ground.

You can actually outride kergit horsearchers as a mounted nord, the kergit is stuck with a steppe horse while the nord can get coursers. But the game isnt really fun when a whole team of 20 kergits is running rings around you, being a kergit on a town map.

Wait, Nords get mounts? This is all wrong. Nords fight like MEN, that is, on foot.  Horses are for those Vaegir, Swadian and Khergit pussies.

Yay for using actual concept art from the game and not anymore crappy LoTR rip-off traces. I would pay very nicely for a collection of this game's concept art. Hopefully they do get weapons and classes balanced out more.

This game is the most ridiculously addicting thing in the world. The learning curve switching from single player to multiplayer is extremely steep, but you can improve quickly with lots of dueling practice in deathmatch games. Some tips for infantry adjusting to multiplayer
I'm usually playing as Hannibal, feel free to grab me out of a battle or siege server to practice in deathmatch.

It uses manual blocking? I'm so gonna get crushed in this. Though hopefully my long-lived campaign as a Nord will help with the foot fighting. Are there AI at all? I assume not. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Nov 24, 2009 |

The two handed axe for the nords is ridiculous. Usually I can do decent with a spear and shield combo but those things tear through even the higher quality shields (2 or 3 good hits for whatever level it is below heavy). It seems like you either have to go ranged or pick a two hander to actually have a chance against someone who's good with them.

The nord long axe is stupid as hell and I have no idea what problem the devs were trying to solve by adding it.

I applied on July 26th, and got my key exactly a month later. It's definitely worth the time to download and try out. When teams organize and plan their tactics accordingly, eg Vaegirs forming an archer group on a bridge against Swadian cavalry-whores, it's an absurd amount of fun. Anyone familiar with the typical member of the taleworlds community will know that this is really rare, though. They're kinda dumb. I never had any problems with the servers. Did you use the get list button? You need to do that manually every time you start up multiplayer I think.
