Don't even bother if you don't posses imba melee fighting skills. Everyone I tried playing M&B I got outblocked by literally everyone. Animations are confusing and affter 70 hours of playing I was still garbage.
Easy to learn hard to master eh?
Don't feel bad I kinda suck too, though I feel it is mostly lag. many times i see my shield literally their hits go through the shield, like the mace goes through shield and into my head, like WTF? I only have 50-60 ping on average...
I doubt my computer will run it without slowly melting, but it seems like a very neat thing. So, to some degree it is like DayZ (as in you lose your stuff and the sheer brutality of the game) + FOnline (as in the faction dictated politics) + Mount and Blade (as in obviously being a Mount and Blade mod)? Interesting...
exactly.
Only catch is you have to roleplay just about everything when interacting with other players, in important things anyways, like hiring someone to assassinate, or if you die, you cannot revenge kill someone, etc.
These rules are entirely ignored on russian servers, most of which are illegal cracked versions.
I personally am a master thief, just today, I robbed 10 castles and made 100k, usually only getting 2-10k from each without getting caught. yesterday I robbed one faction's chest of 50k.
I feel all fuzzy inside when on global chat people go "WTF WHERE IS ALL MY MONEY!?!?!?!?"
Dumbasses should leave the gates to the inner keep closed next time, though if they're not retarded I have a friend become engineer and build a ladder on the wall in a discreet place, so you simply cannot stop me....
To give you an idea, the best armor (aside from plate armor which costs a whole set 50k) costs only 10-15k a set + weapons + horse.
