General Discussion / Hi guys.
« on: January 28, 2017, 07:29:51 am »
Maybe this is long overdue, but I guess I want to say thanks for all the memories. Most of you don't remember me or even know who the hell I am. I'm one of the oldies.

I made many enemies here and just as many friends. Those friends I made I still play with. This game built most of my online friendships and I can't thank everyone enough for making this mod happen. I'd sooner bail some of these people online that I've never met before anyone I know IRL.

I've been NA admin, as well as part of factions that made an impact on the community. And that wouldn't happen without everyone I ever interacted with on this game. I meet some of you in random ass games and I still remember you.

Thank you for everything. I'll see you around.

Be kind to each other.

As populated as it has been in a long time, anyway. About 70 people playing at its height. It got pretty intense at one point.

Either we have a chance to grow the community by keeping new people!

Or, as the route most of us would go: It's hunting season.

Tribe War. We took the initiative to hit them where it hurts: their little teepees and totems; where they sleep n' pray.
During the raid itself, we found no one as we set out to strike out at their village based on the horrible business of warfare (whereas ours was built on military success, very different things).

Mae then sent carrier pigeon to us (we call it "The Team Language Speaking Platform") that the base was being raided, where she fell valiantly. Vaermii and the others set out to rescue the warrior princess, while the demo guys (dexxt & Omega) finished off the rest of the base.

Vaermii took the kills on the entire 3-4 man raiding party (it's hard to tell over carrier pigeon) as they got there. Omega and I meanwhile, got ambushed by two men crawling in the dirt. While I was setting up my prehistoric demolition charges (aka a hatchet), Omega calls out the two dirt-crawlers right as I get my legs tangled and binded in a set of bolas, thrown by our ambushers.

While I'm dicking around with the strings trying to get untied, Omega, springs forth as majestic in the god-rays-of-Nvidia as a unicorn in the sunset and drives the point of his spear (the metal one) into our enemies' guts, ending the brief engagement.

The Stomping Land. Train with bros, hunt with bros, ride with bros.

Raiding party; Dexxt, Rhuell, Weebs, Vaermii, Mechwarrior (Omega)
Home defense matron; Mae
Not sure where he was but saw lots of kills from his activity; Ash Tre

Other, not so cool (okay, they're pretty sweet) images that don't really focus on the teamplay aspect (and who cares about super cool carnivore feeding frenzy when there's no teamwork, amirite):

Vaermii about to get nerded by our lizard patrol (we just lured the Carnosauruses there, he aggro'd them, not our problem).

Er.. I think that in cRPG, 2 handed weapons are pretty cool, and polearms could use a bit more of a buff. The sweet spots thing is old news, but something that bothers me greatly, and I hope we can see some tweaking with regards to that.

Now that I'm Generally Discussing things, I'm inviting all cRPG bros who are clanless in Clash of Clans to The Party Bus (which now comprises 4 people), so we can min/max in a DIFFERENT game for a change and go stomping on nerds who don't know how to build bases.

It's free to play on the appstore or play store (depending which mobile device you own). For those without a mobile device and wish to join nerdstomping-without-borders, Bluestacks is an android emulator which will allow you to play on a regular computer!

Some of us (ie me) being the dirty lightweights we are, are already out under the table. Also, Balias was our pole dancer - got on the table and showed us how to move to bring out the sexy tigers within

Our Suggestions Corner have a couple really good threads (that I've bamped with forum horse).

This mod allows the game to not suck nuts due to horses sounding retarded, and shields sounding gayer than gay porn.

This mod reskins the textures on most weapons so they seem more like weapons handed down to successors and eroded parts fixed up with gold and carvings etc or however you want to justify gem encrusted bec de corbins.

I'll find the third mod I use, which is a blood mod (it's fucking great) which allows a bit of a blood spurt when someone gets hit. Or if you're feeling a little wacky, you can have a small bloodpocalypse for every death. Gimme a few hours after my lunch.

**I did NOT make, or update any of these mods. The community peoples take it upon themselves to keep the files updated. Credits are listed in my thread to the best of my knowledge**

About this proposition:
Currently, the “tick” system (preset amount of gold/xp per minute) is a successful method for the duel server as well as for conducting Strategus official battles. However, it does not encourage the growth of the cRPG player base due to the extremely unforgiving experience for brand new players.  The Golden Age “proximity” (gold/xp within a radius of you/teammate killing an opponent) gain system was a system that did NOT encourage strategy, but forced players in the public servers to conduct extremely efficient and close combat maneuvers and TACTICS.

The success of your team depended on which side could perform better as a large unit with an auxiliary force, instead of what the meta has currently dissolved into; “who can stay away from the battle while maintaining damage output.” In a nutshell, the proximity system was better suited to public servers, and not Strategus battles. While this proximity system discouraged sneaking around, or “kiting,” it did encourage every combatant engage in some form of close combat in order to maximize personal gain, and by proxy, team success.
(Can you believe ^that’s the tl;dr)

Conclusions (for now):

Updates:
A Hybrid of both Proximity and Tick systems as a suitable, lower effort model for xp/gold gain (the programming is already there, why not just take the best of both worlds?)
