I must say I love this patch ;D
I played last night and it was epic, usually to get teamwork i need to log into TS with a bunch of house members, but last night i logged onto East Coast normal, and wow. someone was giving orders, people were obeying orders, it was amazing.
I wish i took pictures, but here is a idea of what was going on.
We forted up inside the towers at hidden cave, great work there, we had a couple guys shielding while others use polearms and 2handers to deal with our "guests". another guy and myself were constantly running back and forth with heals keeping everyone alive, archers were raining hell down on anyone who didn't bring a shield. it was epic, we were no longer gods of death but soldiers fighting to survive impossible odds.
what broke our lines wasn't the powerful boss waves but the wave before knights. in the calm before the that wave people were refilling and regrouping, when the first nords were spotted we fell into our positions, as we had all the waves before.
then, all the archers died, I'm not even joking, in a single volley the mercenary sharpshooters annihilated everyone without a shield, all headshots. then it was the infantry's turn, we did what we did all the other waves, took care of melee nords. but random bolts would fly out of the mob and pick us off, one by one.
out of the 10 or so of us 2 kinda survived. by kinda I mean they missed one of the sharpshooters who then sniped down poor brian, leaving one to face the knights.
it was fun, it really gave the feeling of what the mod is about. When i joined the shieldwall it wasn't like i was doing it to grind anymore, or to let low levels get kills, it was honestly for survival.
I only have two problems with this patch: First, where's my board shield :'( I loved that damn thing, now nords are shooting out my legs. Second, you might wanna nerf the merc sharpshooters a bit, like i said, they killed every archer before we knew they were there.
to the people who've got their grump on because of this patch; shut up, and join the shieldwall, I am not going to lose Swadia because you guys are to busy complaining that you're not gods any more
Lastly:
GIVE ME MOAR! MOAR PATCHES! MOAR NORDS! MOAR VIRGINS!...wait...forget the last one, no more virgin sacrifices.
