Once I click on the links it just brings me to the clan select server with none of these clans mentioned

Sorry comrade, thats because you have to be logged in. I`m gonna replace the link with some pictures.

Panos, I don't think you mean what 'immersion' and 'roleplaying' mean.

When I think medieval combat, I think men in wedding gowns.

What are you, 14?

Immersion and role playing? The only things people play are DTV and Battle, ocasionaly siege and duel, and while most of the modes are fun, they also seek out to be infuriating. The only way to win in battle is to jump around and spam the attack button like you're a sociopathic kangaroo in the middle of a seizure, in frantic combat it's impossible not to hit your allies, and you can't roleplay in anything or you'll be killed instantly. cRPG is a great improvement to personallized multiplayer, but the game modes are lacking and the absence of regular team death match and deathmatch set every game not as a dramatic and frantic melee, but as a irritational running simulator where you hope the naked guy following you with a bardiche gets killed before he ends you, and then you get run down by some jerk on a horse, and have to wait out the rest of the game hoping the person who killed you gets set on fire. Tactics are useless as players prefer to dance around and jump at you blindly swinging their overpowered weapons that make armor seem next to pointless. No one plays rageball, about a max of 200 people are on at once if you're lucky, and the mod is essentially an expansion on the starting part in warbands multiplayer where you choose your armor. The maps are often hit or miss, some great others meh, and though the ping sits at a perfect middle point accessible to every one, occasional lag spikes can go far to ruin your chance at getting one measley kill in battle mode, where you have only one life. All of these would set up to something awful right? Not exactly. CRPG isn't terrible, it isn't bad, I'd go as far to say it's quite phenominal for what it is, but it has underlying flaws that take away from the experience. I understand that this is all a matter of opinion, and I hope you, the reader, understands that too before you respond by lashing out with vulgar insults and poorly spelled ramblings about how I probably just suck at the game and should stop crying about it, and how I'm stupid for daring to post an contrary opinion, Et cetera. I don't hate cRPG, I just sometimes wish I could hit it with a rolled up newspaper.

It's a much better concept than the original native warband MP considering you can actually achieve things. I can't stand how empty the original MP is in comparison to the SP which is teeming with rpg elements. I agree that it is at times, extremely underpopulated and most people play defend the viscount or other modes I personally am not interested in so I find it kind of lacking. I would love to join a 200 person siege but it's quite rare. I have been involved in some 60 player sieges but since downloading crpg most of the server consist of defend the viscount and empty other modes with maybe 1 or 2 players.

CRPG is insanely better than vanilla - have been playing on CRPG for like 3 years and its very addictive

Hmm that's a very inaccurate description of CRPG.. it takes a ton of skill, and I usually go 5+ battle maps without hitting one person (edit:Teammates that is) - You have to actually be aware of your surroundings at all times.

It really takes weeks to months before you can even consider yourself decent.. Most players on CRPG have been playing for almost 10 years - since MnB originally came out

Truth. Too bad the mod isn't very populated though. The server selection is very slim.

Yeah I agree, I can't hit anyone even after 5 rounds, and if I did it wouldn't even tickle him with that thick armour.

Varas is right.. a well motivated peasant can take down a fully armored vet. Chances are slim to none usually, but the game is kind of realistic in that way. If you find that you are having trouble, then check forums and ask vets for advice. The best thing you can do is find someone who will play you 1 vs 1 so you can learn to block, swing, spin etc.

I would highly suggest for new players to practice this alot, because a few well timed blocks can be the difference between living and dying. As a new player your greatest asset is the fact that you can usually run away from armored players. So it helps to play a game of cat and mouse.

Heavily armored infantry seem to take maximium damage from axes and being speared. Armor doesn't do well against piercing attacks, but does great against slashes. So stab them, don't slash them. (except for axes iirc)

Cav got you down, get a long spear and ram it into the players legs as they pass or the horses head if they charge you. Most of the time you will outreach them and possibly bring down their horse - thus usually making an easy kill.

Also never leave your group, you are very vulnerable alone, but in bunches you can take down almost anyone.

Learn to use your tilde ~ key to check your back if you hear horses coming or just afraid of getting jumped from behind or sides.

Archers got you down, get a shield.

There are a lot of little things new players and peasants can do that can really turn the tide of the battle.

Notice that there is one bad ass on the other team killing everyone? Gang up on him and take him down as soon as possible, make sure you bring the entire team.

You can easily get a horse and lance after a day or so of play, and if you hit people in the head from behind, you can get some kills - or at the very least assist your team.

It is really a team based game when it comes down to it, trying to lone wolf it only works after you are confident in skills and gear.

Also I can't blame new players for getting upset and feeling like the game is stacked against them. It really is stacked against you, but intelligent play and teamwork can help to balance it out somewhat. And in a few weeks of experience you will go from you thinking everyone is hacking, to wondering how you could have ever been so naive.

Anyways Good Luck and know that if vets see new players on the field, they become prime targets for them - mostly because they are easy pickings. Read the art of war and understand that every weakness you have can become your strength: that is if you are quick and smart about it.
