Just went 31-12 with the starter buckler, the godenakthingy, and the Last Samurai OST.

I think a buckler just may be the secret to the 1H axes being less lovely, I will have to experiment further.

There doesn't seem to be any AFK detection right now and the XP bonuses for being on the winning team in a game of conquest are really good. If you want that cool pointy hat, you can just join a conquest game, go watch a movie, then come back and equip all your better gear that has unlocked. Repeat as necessary.
I'll have that awesome pointy hat and the mail vest with extra bits in no time.

Most likely yeah but I think it'll be in EA for at least a year if they're gonna add all those features before launch.

So at this point it's more about loving around, getting used to the systems, and not really worrying about poo poo until things are up and running.

And then wholesale pubbie murder when things go live.

Essentially, but honestly I would not worry about a wipe anytime soon. The only thing that would necessitate it before launch would be a progressive system overhaul or a database corruption like what happened Day 1. Really, the Epic mode won't even draw from your unlocked gear, just your character.

Devs talk about the Early Access launch, what features The Epic will launch with on Thursday, what they are currently working on, and what they will be focusing on next.

The Epic will launch with:
- Warmap where you can recruit troops and send them around
- Order castles to be built (pre-built, customization not in)
- Design troops
- Supports 5000 players per region

What they are currently working on:
- Bug fixes!!
- Skirmish mode (5v5, 10v10)
- Early face and body customization
- Friend and squad system
- New maps
- Optimizations and improvements (sound and UI)
- Balancing
- Team-killing mechanics
- Hitboxes and hit detection
- Server stability and speed improvement so they can enable 100v100

Focusing on next:
- Castle building for Epic (3-4 months, priority change due to player feedback)
- Factions for Epic (coming soon after Epic launches)

Will it really be wiped? I've heard conflicting things such as you'll retain your gear but not your skill level at launch.

Also thank gently caress for AFKing because I skipped the "not fun part of cRPG" where you get rolled by people wearing top tier plate while wearing cloth. They really need to make the start of the game fun because it really alienates even the best of players.

Man, I wish CRPG was still populated enough to get a little smidge of whats planned before I get this.

With all its hilarious problems, crpg was a blast to play with all the gimmick builds at your disposal. My favorite being of course the 'naked 14agi thrower' dude who would just zoom around the battleground faster than anybody else on foot chucking javalins at dudes.

Yeah, CRPG was the best. I was hoping OKAM would be a substitute but I'm not digging it so far.

Aim for the legs if you're fighting someone with a tiny round shield. Seems to go under them pretty consistently.

Hey, so what exactly is going to be the Epic. Well, I know what it is but what's gonna be out there to do? There is zero documentation out there on how to do things or how things play out just a vague "it's a strategic map!"

At launch it is going to be sort of like Risk, with additional functionality added over time.

How viable is archery in this? Cause in my head you'd have super high movement speed and plink away at people then when someone gets pissed and comes after you just run away forcing them to waste their manpower by never catching up to you only to turn around and shoot nerds when they give up.

Archers are more of an annoying pest than a real threat right now. Theres only three bows and the first one is beyond awful.

For the 20 minutes I played this game I got annoyed at the fact that you didn't get a speed boost chasing after people like in chivalry. It makes slaughtering terrified peasants and archers so much more fulfilling.

Thats actually a bug right now, how you slow down when chasing someone. Supposedly getting fixed tomorrow.

Considering picking this up but it sorta bugs me how this looks to play exactly like M&B. I get that it's from the CRPG guys, but it's not like M&B had perfect combat and I was hoping they could have made some improvements instead of just copy pasting it verbatim.

It has some differences and more are planned.

At the very least M&B's combat system is one of a final game, not a game in dev.

The combat is almost completely different, and way more fluid.

I've had fun doing this exact thing. Right now, even with the long bow, some people are able to take 5 to 6 shots in the chest before going down so you'll almost always want to aim for headshots. Aiming is a little goofy at first, but once you get used to it things get much easier. I would recommend getting past the short bow ASAP while it can still actually hurt people. The little axe you get is a pretty sweet little weapon as well, it should help you finish off people you've been plinking at.
