// Deutsch Diese Gruppe möchte Valve, den Betreiber von Steam, dazu animieren, einen rechtlich verbindlichen und zudem sicheren Altersnachweis für volljährige, deutsche Steam-Nutzer einzuführen. Ziel dieses Altersnachweises soll sein, dass Personen, die diesen Altersnachweis durchgeführt und bestanden haben, Zugriff auf sämtliche Spiele erhalten, die sonst entweder gar nicht oder nur geschnitten/gewaltgemindert über den Steam-Store erhältlich sind.
Ein paar Fakten: Es ist in Deutschland absolut legal, im Ausland (England/UK, Österreich, USA etc.) Spiele zu bestellen, die sonst nur geschnitten oder nicht frei verkäuflich in Deutschland erhältlich sind. Zudem verstößt unser Vorhaben gegen keine Deutschen Gesetze oder die Richtlinien der Prüfungsstellen "USK“, "FSK" und "BPjM“!
Bitte sendet all Euren Steam-Freunden eine Einladung zu dieser Gruppe – es ist ganz einfach! Klickt dazu oben Rechts auf unserem Gruppenprofil auf "Freunde einladen“, wählt dann oben links "Alle“ aus und klickt dann oben rechts auf "Invite“.
Je größer unsere Gruppe wird, umso besser stehen die Chancen, dass wir gemeinsam Erfolg haben!
// English The aim of this group is to encourage Valve, the company behind Steam, to introduce a legally binding and safe age verification process for adult German Steam users. The goal of the age verification is to give access to games, which would otherwise be cut/censored or not available at all, to those persons who have successfully proven their age.
A few facts: In Germany it is completely legal to order games abroad (UK, Austria, USA etc.), which are otherwise cut or not legally purchasable in Germany. Moreover, our intent does not breach German law, nor does it violate the guidelines of the regulating bodies “USK”, "FSK" and “BPjM”!
Please invite all of your steam friends to this group – it is easy! To do so click on “invite friends” at the top right of our group profile, then choose “all” top left and finally up on the right click “invite”.
The larger our group gets, the better the chances are that we succeed.
James Rofle once said about a "Simon says" Nintendogame: "This doesnt need to be a (Nintendo) game". Exactly the same counts for this.
It all starts with the absolutely exaggerated inaccuracy of the muskets.
In reality, the chance of hitting your enemy with those muskets was 60% on 75m distance, in this game your chance is more like 1%. Even if your enemy is RIGHT IN YOUR FACE, your chance of hitting him barely reaches 30%.
Hitdetection is also bullshit. My grenade explodes right in the middle of 20 enemys and i get 2 kills. Cause the rest apparently didnt feel like dying, just because a bomb exploded right in their faces.
And dont even wanna talk about meele combat.
The standart situation will look like this:
You let your enemy come 5 meters close (In reality, he would already be dead a hundred times, but you´l learn that reality doesnt matter in this game).
You shot at him with your musket, chance of not hitting: 0,1%, and you miss.
So you take out your pistol, now he´s 3 meters close, you shot him, chance of not hitting: 0,01%, and guess what? You miss again.
Now its meele with bajonets. You ram yours right in his face, nothing happens, hes stabs somewhere, barely even hitting you and you´re dead.
Acording to the devs, all is very balanced, so the skill of the player counts, not his equip. Well, no. Its not. And thats not cause everyone has the same equip.
Its pure luck if you hit something or not. No matter if distance shot or meele.
The amount of skill this game requires is exactly 2%.
1% for aiming with the arty and 1% for not runnig straight at your enemy, the other 98% are pure luck.
This makes killing an enemy not satisfying and dying totaly frustrating, cause you know: Neither you nor your enemy did that with skill, you/he just had pure luck.
If it were not like this, M&B NW would be one of the best games i have.
I buyed this game, expecting huge battles promised by reviews n stuff and the first thing i saw was "0/200" in the server list.
Thats the player count on 98% of all servers (Why? Look up, there´s one major reason and its not only in Napoleonic Wars like this, the same thing counts for Warband).
Only ONE, one server had a decent ammount of soliders, but if no admin´s on, the bot side can get way to weak or strong over mapchanges.
If you can get both, Warband and Napoleonic Wars DLC, for under 10 bucks, ok.
If not: DO NOT TOUCH IT! Total waste of the 30€ i paid.
Do not, i repeat: DO NOT buy this horrible piece of shit for 14€, its not worth 5€.
The A.I, and with it the most important part of the game, the battles, are fucking HORRIBLE!
Example: Fort defense.
You put your troops on the wall, the enemy comes and nothing happens. Your troops will not shot until you tell them EVEN if you have Fire at will activated.
So the enemy comes, climbs up the wall, its a short close combat and then he retreats. If you dont watch your troops, they will climb down the enemys ropes and follow them.
Are you serious Creative Assembly?
Next thing: You decide to move your troops off the wall. You give the order, look away and suddenly you hear "The entire unit was wiped out Sir".
Gues what: There is a bug, that kills of your entire regiments when they go down the ramps.
Yes! A bug that can kill off your entire army by simply MOVING IT.
DID ANYBODY TEST THIS SHIT?!
Finally, all enemy infantry and cavalry units are dead. You´ve won. But nope, the enemys artillery keeps standing around outside for no reason.
If you attack, they use their shrapnels, killing hundreds of youre men, if you dont, they fucking stand around till Hitler comes.
If you have not Battle time limit, youre fucked.
Finally, the horrible battle is over, 1500 of your 1900 soliders survived, the enemy had 1500, lost 1400, you wanna know how this is called in NTW?
Narrow win. I shit you not, i´m dead fucking serious.
Das wichtigste zuerst: Steam verschweigt auf der Shopseite (Wie bei so vielen anderen Titeln auch), dass man sich für dieses Spiel registrieren, ergo einen Account erstellen muss.
Hätte ich das gewußt hätte ich es nicht gekauft.
Die Beschreibung des Spiels auf der Shopseite ist irreführend.
Der obere Teil erweckt den Eindruck eines MMO´s, unten aber wird dann auf PvP-Combat reduziert.
Vielleicht soll es irgendwann mal diesen Umfang haben, davon ist es aber jetzt Welten entfernt. Wie ich von den Machern im Ingamechat erfahren hab, ist es noch nichtmal fertig.
Spielspaß ist ebenfalls kaum vorhanden, da du hier ein Team brauchst, dass tatsächlich was kann.
Dämlicher Käptn, folglich grenzdebil schlechte Bewaffnung und zur Kröunung ne absolut planlose Crew.
In 9 von 10 Spielen kommt all das zusammen.
Vielleicht soll es ja irgendwann mal den von Steam versprochnen Inhalt liefern und tatsächlich Spaß machen, aber aktuell kann ich nur sagen:
Keinesfalls 18,99€ wert.
