Shields need a server that decreases the damage they take per hit to feel good tbh

Shields are good because the Ancient Khopesh is hands down the most damaging weapon in the game and you might as well have something in your offhand.

In any other situation it seems like a 2 hander is better. Theyre useful for closing range on 2-3 archers if you dont feel like charging them at an angle. That said the slave dragging rope is definitely the best offhand in the game atm, because; reasons.

You can build foundations quite a ways underground. So far that you won't be able to decon or destroy it. Hmm.

[EU] The Riddle of Steel - PvP Just had a disconnect and then Steam updated that late night patch. So I had to update the server too to get in. Hope no one was on anymore. Supposedly this also fixes the disappearing T2 altars, we will see....

There's a nice rock/paper/scissors system with the weapons. Swords are great sustained dps, wide aoe arc and cheap to make. Pikes have average burst and ok dps with the best range, Hammers are insanely short range but great burst. Depending how you stat and how you play it's pretty nicely balanced. Ranged fails though because it's on the more realistic side of you don't want to be a lone archer who's unsupported. A good group of players will be one guy with shield and ancient khopesh, the rest armed with pikes or bows. That way mr sword and board can slash everything around him without worry about friendly fire as they're all out at poking range. Hammers are a bit trickier to time in groups as they hit in an area as well and cannot out damage a steel sword user who puts points into hp. Good against large bosses in the midgame though. Hammerstein posted:[EU] The Riddle of Steel - PvP I just logged off right before that. Don't think anyone else was on at 3am.

the cool things about weapons is you can switch them almost instantly so there is no reason not to have a ranged option  or even multiple melee ones if you fancy also there is a named hammer that does 97 health damage, idk where it spawns besides admin mode on single player though Percelus fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Feb 11, 2017 |

The sword is good for straight damage output, the pike is the most stamina efficient weapon, and the hammer is the best clincher weapon for winning pvp. You don't need to be attacking in groups as a hammer. If you're fighting equal numbers each person squares off with one person and then you hammer stunlock them until they die. If they dodge out of the hammer stun then it's good for you because they're going to be lower on stamina than you and you will win the fight. If you miss your hammer swing, start running away until you get another power strike charged and then whip back around and try to hit them again. Never just try to face tank them, especially if they have a sword. If you're hammer fighting right, the person you're fighting should never be able to get up in the fight, and if you're outnumbered no one else in the fight should have an opportunity to hit you while you beat their friend to death. I personally don't carry any ranged weapon, because I feel that you should either be in the fight or out of it. iirc if you're charging a bow shot you aren't regenerating stamina, which is one of only two things (the other being health) that you should be withdrawing from a fight for.

What a total mess the official servers are. Tried most of the day on/off to get back into the server I started a base on, constantly full. I decided to just start fresh on a new server cause I was wasting so much time trying to log in. Almost the entire map is claimed by single block ownership at this point. Any halfway decent location has been "claimed" by people just spewing foundations all over the map in a land grab.

Don't know why anyone would want to play on officials because of that. But then again I don't understand why we have so many different goon servers when we could all be playing on one...

why would you want a 70 max person server to have ~30 players on at all times that you cant attack and loot

Spent at least three hours murdering rocks and trees while running away from underground spiders only to have a random nerd teleport into my base and murder me then proceed to destroy all my crafting tables before teleporting away. At least my doors are secure! (never leave your second story roof open)

I find it fun but it's a little sparse on content. You need to be OK with base building (for no good reason, ai won't raid you) survival and exploration in a single biome (desert)

Oh, thats a neat trick. Edit: Figured out why conan keeps killing my single player games. Im running a private server for Ark so my little brother can play with dinosaurs, and it uses the same 7777, 27015 ports that conan does. winterwerefox fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Feb 11, 2017 |

Trying to figure out if I want this. It looks a lot like ARK; would that be correct, or is it more like another game?

Bruteman posted:Trying to figure out if I want this. It looks a lot like ARK; would that be correct, or is it more like another game? I'd say it feels closest to ARK without dinosaurs and no good ranged weapons (which is good imo.) It also has some pretty big load times and rendering issues. It's fun, but the technical issues are pretty severe right now in my opinion.

ARK never really appealed to me, but I was all over this in an instant. I've had loads of fun in spite of technical issues. I credit the dong slider.

It's fun, but the technical issues are pretty severe right now in my opinion. Load times are only bad on HDDs. SSDs load into a server in under a minute or maybe even under 30 seconds. Loading the base you're in can take another 10-20 though.

It seems way more approachable than ARK to me. Even on regular server rates I was able to wall off a little valley and build a house and crafting tables in a couple of hours of work. I was accosted by some people and had a tense standoff where they were shooting me with arrows and I'd occasionally jump off my wall to stab them in their faces. I feel like I've gained some good experience and if someone were to wipe out my little house now it'd set me back very little and would be more a waste of their time than mine. And that's just dicking around by myself. I'm planning to get another couple taiwan goons together to scourge the asia servers a bit and spread the gospel of Taiwan #1.

So in my solo play it seems like the first big bottleneck is iron. It only seems to spawn up in the mountains. At least the run there and back is interesting and fraught with hyenas and ostriches though.

If you can get there, there is a double oasis in the north that has iron/coal near it that makes a good place to build. just keep away from resources and the mitrans and nothing should get shut off.

Maaan i had a sweet little spot up high on a piece of destroyed bridge, a little too much south for my taste but still a quiet spot. The only time i forget to remove a piece of stairs before going on an adventure I get all my poo poo destroyed while i'm away. It's my own dumb fault but i'm still too bummed out to start all over again yet. I even had a ''These stairs are protected'' sign. Goons are jerks  but i deserved it i guess.e:engrish. Also it's weird as I died "from falling" while running on flat ground. Hard fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Feb 12, 2017 |
