You'll be back.
Support me for ultimate balancer role and I will give you fun mod to play. But I'm not sure does chadz cRPG to be fun.
It is kinda fun, have to admit. But it is very broken.
Imo shut down eu2 and eu7 and u will have a single decent server (siege or battle who cares), with decent numbers.
With numbers ranged are not a problem anymore,but as soon as the server population is below 50ppl, it turns into a ig_battelground server, but that's another gamestyle and when i play crpg i don't want CodBand style.
Better would be to merge eu1&2, and rotate modes.This.

EU1 was 50+ yesterday, sure there's a natural decline but forum warriors beat the same dead horse while a lot of silent players are still playing and enjoying the game. I have players to fight with and against every time I log in and I'm just glad it's still running. Hopefully we'll see more return come Summer. There's nowhere else to turn if you want a Medieval four-directional combat game, so what if you're tired of it - no need to spam it incessantly (unless it's the 'mod iz ded' joke, which still has merit).
Do you really think the decline has to do with changes to game mechanics and not the age of the game?I don't think you can narrow it down to just one thing, like the age of the game. I think thats quite ignorant, what about you?
Do you really think the decline has to do with changes to game mechanics and not the age of the game?You could not hint at it more strongly than you do here. You essentially write off his theory that the changes to the game mechanics (last patch) has to do with the decline, and then hint strongly at that fact that it's because of the age of the game.

The quote you use are talking about some great mover towards decline, and I just don't believe this is due to gameplay changes - but age of mod, rather. Both are factors, sure, I would never doubt someone lost interest due to not agreeing with some change or another, why the hell would I.
You're obviously trying to avoid this perception of your message by suddenly scaling down your strong opinions.
Anyway i think both age AND the new patch is the reason of the decline.
Yesterday there were 50+ in eu 1? yes, but for how long? An hour maybe(i was there btw), and Eu2 meanwhile was like 10ppl online. Last year or bit more (can't remeber the period) there were 100+ on eu1 and like 50 on eu2 in the same time, now if u are lucky u have one server with 50 (but usually 40) and the other one with 0.EU1 stayed about 40 players near all day. Right now, there's 44 players on EU2 and 35 on EU1 (and 30 on DTV). It's not many, but more or less what you could expect, I think, from a game this old.

what show was this from?
Idk about EU but in NA you would always have people sitting in the courner of the map on opposite teams touching their dicks together and going "lol XD". It takes all the competitiveness out of the game and is just another reason as to why many left in NA.
Have you ever heard of Krems?
Today i yelled (caps) at some vanguard called Mrs_Emilia, guy was dressed in full bride outfit (typical) propably had like 10 athletics and some throwing daggers and he wasent even fighting, he was just fleeing from everyone just to call for attention as he was one of the last people alive. f this.

I know a lot of people, including myself, who would probably come back to c-rpg if it was reset back to about the patch were black armor was no longer BLACK ARMOR. But we all know that won't happen.

I think it is incredibly foolish to think that a reset to some older version or a few fixes here and there will do anything to the player numbers . The decline player numbers has been going on since early 2012, the community has survived horrible bugs, server instability and lack of developer attentions for years and always made it through laughing. Bullshit mechanics have always been present, it just becomes more noticable as people have continously gotten better, with using as much bullshit as you can having become a requirement for doing well.
The mod has gotten very few new players, the existing players have worn out the combat system and in general have just gotten bored. I can also imagine that a large part of the demographic is simply reaching an age where they have less time or interest in games like me. I was 16 when I started playing this shit, slacking my way through high school with way too much time on my hands. Now I am fucking 21 already and I have only a fraction of the time and willingness for playing games. I imagine there are many from similar age categories like me that won't be playing any games for 30 hours a week anymore. You can't expect people to play the same game religously for 5 fucking years, even if only for real-life circumstances.
Other games try to copy CS 5vs5 model which isn't something we like (if we did, we would play Chivalry).Or perhaps the other few dozen huge design differences have a hand in that.
There's even people saying new maps or new game mod killed it.
Funny thing, since the introduction of conquest people always complained about this gamemode, but at the same time only conquest can still gather 70+ players. Weird, don't you think? :POnly one explanation.... C-rpg community. Don't ever try to figure it out.
... cRPG went more and more into a restrictive way, people have nostalgia about old cRPG because it has less restrictions, that's it. I got very upset when they removed the ability to use ranged weapons while jumping/falling ...
Also the lack of mechanics destroyed the potential in personal skills, I myself reached my personal top in ~2011. All I had to do in future is just to adapt to changes. cRPG went more and more into a restrictive way, people have nostalgia about old cRPG because it has less restrictions, that's it.
Ranged is slowly killing people off. Sure it's "part of the game" but when you close with an archer, they turn and run, get ahead, pew, run, pew. Or even worse they're on a horse. Or they're a thrower. It's just infuriating to get plinked at constantly.
You find someone, they'll run away until there's at least one more person in their group than your group.
Also agi is crazy op what the hell.
Implying that archery is easy mode. Same can be said for shielders. Of course 2H/polearms is the pinnacle of skill, especially AGI builds...
Every class has its merits and involves skill, but some people are too thick to realize that. For example, shielder seems like an easy mode but in melee duel shield is nothing but a burden because blocking and attacking is significantly slower than with one handed weapon without a shield. If not for the fact that enemies bashing on my shield grants me points (important for valor reward) and if ranged wasn't as deadly I would play so called swashbuckler.

Balanced builds was, and still is, better than agi builds.
You are balancer, you know best.
Do any of the mechanics he used in the golden days still exist?
I must be blind, i thought Leshma was saying that agility builds are ''the pinnacle of skill'' (sarcastically or otherwise), and that Gurnisson was saying that balanced builds were and are the best. Those 2 statements appear to be completely unrelated as one is talking about 'skill' and the other about pure performance.
There were 50+ ppl on eu 2 tonight, and what u do, strategus....nice, u are so fuckin smart.. now eu2 empty eu3 20 ppl doing a useles strat battle and eu1 empty. So fuckin smart
Yeah properly organised strat battles and sieges were the most fun aspect of this game.
For some of us (I'd even dare say "for many of us") Tournaments & Big Battles were even more fun because they were less broken but what would a victim-turned-criminal like yourself know about it...... :twisted:
Strategus battles were fun because they were massive and depicted actual medieval battlefield in the best way this mod is capable of. However in those battles game mechanics and that famous, touted great balance cRPG has according to some, was put through harsh test which it gloriously failed.
If you want to see how piss poor cRPG balance always was, just play the strat battle. Pikes and archers everywhere...

It's like saying that cav is underpowered because it is bad on Siege. Balance has always been done for EU 1. The server which has no respawns, the largest variety of tactical situations and therefore the server that allows all playstyles to be viable. Strategus was exactly the opposite, with one single situation lasting for one and a half hours. Namely a clusterfuck in the middle of a field that was continously fed by respawns. Obviously classes that normally require support to not get swamped fare best there. Pikers, archers and plate.

At this point I just want to see changes, I don't care where they come from. NA is practically dead and no one seems to care; which is a shame because I always believed this game/community had something special going for it. I hardly play anymore but I'm still following this mod on the hopes that it can be great again.
