According to this... WPF is near worthless for melee weapons. Is this true?

Sorry to hear that, there were a few more battles in that "campaign."

Hopefully we'll have lots of fun battles coming up in Strat 4.

Also, yeah WPF is pretty worthless for melee. I have 100 1h and 50 pole as a 1h/lancer cav and I do okay on foot and horseback, 0WM.

It depends. WPF does give you more damage (And, to some arbitary limit, speed?) which helps, however it doesn't compare to having more power strike. Both, though, do help, if you have the skill points lying around.

Past the magical 100 threshold (Including armor penalties, which aren't shown) WPF isn't critical.

I am terrible at this game, ha. What method do you guys use to pick attack/block direction? I always seem to swing the wrong way. Alternatively, I don't even see how my enemies hit me.

Also, I've seen numerous videos trying to explain how to feint and whatnot, but can never seem to do it. What exactly am I looking to do there?

EDIT: I am at least getting proficient at unhorsing people with throwing axes.

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
So in order to make an alternate account my main but keep my stuff, I need to transfer all the stuff from the alternate account to a new account then delete the alternate account, get the new account to level 15, wait 3 days then transfer all the stuff to a new version of the alternate account then make it my main? That's completely retarded.

I get 4 kills in the first round, end up being the last alive and dying 1v1. "Oh good going LLJK!" "You suck!" as if I lost the team the round.

I'm sure there's a name for this psychological effect that makes people into moronic assholes. But I'm being somewhat hyperbolic cuz they're all "nah LLJK are good" afterwords" so you could say it's in good humor.

Want to never get blamed for anything? Be the first to die. No one will notice you.

e: The banner is loving awesome, but looks loving terrible in-game. Like a blob of poo poo colors. I suppose everything will look that way unless you go with a super simple and bold design.

Everyone talks poo poo if you are the last guy left and you lose the round, unless it was 4v1 and you killed 3 of them. Even then people are still pissed. But when you win the round most people will congratulate you. Everyone is watching because they are all dead, so obviously if they had been the last alive they would have done it better.

Once a character is alternate it is not possible to change that role, therefore alternates can never become main. I don't know if it is possible to create a new account unless you have a new cd-key and IP address. Why do you want to make your alt your main?

I made a character my main then skipped the fun, then made another character which I really enjoy and I don't like my main so I want to make the alt my main (basically keep the name and items) but in order to do this I have to lose all of my XP and train up another character to lvl 15 just to send the items and gold

Hueheheh-and you GOT one
I recall a battle round like a year ago where I was using my all strength and powerstrike tin can, I destroyed the opposing team and at the end of the round it was just me and an archer.

I spent the whole time chasing him while he would stop and try to shoot off the last little sliver of health I had left. I dodged every shot. Eventually he gave up and let me kill him. There were those who congratulated me, those who condemned him, and those who were outraged that I didn't let the archer win because of "delaying."

My point is that there will always be someone who is unhappy with LLJK. We are the goon clan after all.

Holy wow! That "Literally A Person" sure is a cool and good poster. He's smart and witty and he smells like a pure mountain stream. I posted in his thread and I got a FANCY NEW AVATAR!!!!
When I used to play this game I was an archer and about 50% of rounds would end with a tin can chasing me and after one of us died there would always be spectators who are raging the gently caress out about me kiting the tin can. It's not like my longsword really did any more damage, guys, is it more fun to watch 3 minutes of glancing swings?

e: probably worth noting this is on the Australian servers which never got more than 50-60 people total.

Thanks, didn't know you could defend AI villages. ...How do you do that? Any XP is good, don't care about winning. I also saw your upcoming battle?

Should I go with the pick for pierce damage or the axe for shield damage?

Oh poo poo, yes I forgot I set that in motion. Apply for that, everyone should apply for that. I won't actually be able to attend as I'm leaving for the weekend kind of at the last second. XP won't be great as it is 50 v 30 and im not entirely sure hes going to show up at all.


Personal preference, do you find yourself against tin cans or other shielders more often?

Someone once told me, "Time is a flat circle".
So I'm sort of trying to decide where to go with my level 25 one-hander/shield character. Here's where I stand currently:



I hosed up in character generation and put a point into Riding, thinking I was going for some kind of melee-cavalry build, but that fell by the wayside, and I forgot about it until it was late enough I didn't want to respec. Also note that I have two skill points as yet unspent. I'm shooting for a 21 str/15 agi, although that might change.

So I'm thinking there's a few options:

1.) Commit to the one-handed weapon, and dump more points into WM and Power strike
2.) Beef up my throwing skills, as I kind of play like light infantry and screen for cavalry with my javelins currently. It would be nice to upgrade to Jarids
3.) Dump more points into Riding, and go for something like a Steppe horse. Or just go whole hog and go 18/18 for attributes and get some of the better mounts.

Any other options? Is one skill point wasted worth respeccing at this point?

EDIT: Feel free to point and laugh at my terrible K/D ratio. :v:

You can always respec, you lose half your experience, but if you commit to this build you will be spending way more time with a gimped build. This build is a mess. Pick a build off of the OP and go with it.

Going hybrid is usually a bad idea. But if you insist on keeping it you probably should put a couple more points into riding so you can get a Rouncey. Another way to salvage this is to put some more points into weapon master and fill out your throwing so you can at least be competent at 1h and throwing.

I would just respect though.

They are worth a lot of money, though overall loom prices have been falling.

You can always go for like 3 riding and then dump the rest in powerthrow and be all 3!

The latest patch gives archers a 10% bonus to damage for every archer they are near, up to 100%!

Oh it would appear this is strategus only :(

Since we were green from the start, it's not so much of a quantum leap, but you're right, it naturally attracts attention.
