Stupid Knight....

JGFMK1 · 01-20-2012, 11:56 AM

I'm finding the Knight class to be a real pain.
One of it's main benefits are Feint as well as Kick to knock player down.
Problem is my dumb knight then will not continue attacking when player is on floor.
So I am often crucified by lower level players as a result when going one on one.
What the heck is the work around for this absurd behaviour of class?
I want my main weapon - a King's mace to continue with Normal attacks!

On top of this my character is large. I think there are some inherent awful bugs in game as result:
a) You come back to central save in pillar - consequently you can not move off spot.
b) In Aggers fort, the tower up to flag is a pain. Character will either not go through door into room with chest, or not make it up the flight of stairs from there to the top.
c) It gets stuck on the on/off ramp of bridge between Aggers and Samal
d) It gets stuck in doorway to weaponsmith in Gokstad that sells maces, when going through door after dismounting from horse.
I think all these bugs are related to some sort of rounding error that results in your character suddenly walking in the air (rather like the Halloween werewolf bug). Sometimes mount/dismount horse can solve. Other times you have to exit/enter game again (change character does not solve).
I have submitted tickets for these issues, but they have not been addressed.
I wish NGD would offer a free change size to small since bug really hinders game play - especially for inside Aggers fort or on Bridge - where you can't contribute to ferreting enemy out of fort. Or you die on bridge. I get no problems such problems with my 'small' warlock. Some say you have to touch flag to get gold for capture - if this is case then I am being denied opportunities for gold too.
When they fix bug - change size back to big - as I want my Knight to shield other players with it's size and better armor.

I read the thread title - you called?

I was talking to a fellow Knight the other day about the issue of not being able to continue an attack on a 'downed' player.
He described it as a position error or bug.
Furthermore when I mentioned the error and asked if he experiences the same issues, he said "Not on this machine".
When I quizzed further the player said - I don't have a problem when running on Windows 7...
So I wonder if the developers (Surak) can compare code and port the relevant fix from there over to the Mac.

Knight needs time and devotion. You become better knight only with experience andd you can overcome any drawbacks of this class. Just keep practicing and a solution will be found

yep, like reble said, knight class takes a while to get use to.
its taken me two years until now where i can finally beat people in pvps

Man the class is great, we are made for fort fights, get used to stuff.
You must get used to avoid bugs too, this game has a lot of.
The class is nice, give it a chance.

Knights are easy whats your problem? =p I only get that position bug when I kick/feint some1
and while doing that move, might wanna see if thats your problem

As argument for the knights are easy: They only lack in speed, I love knight,
I just happen to love conj more
