General Discussion / Upcoming "Revival" patch

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

In order to bring joy to new as well as old players we've been hard at work on a new patch. Although it might not seem like it, we've been enjoying Warband and cRPG for over four years now. Naturally, we've experienced both great highs and lows in this time. Recognizing that more than mere item tweaks are necessary to keep cRPG healthy we have focused heavily on sustainability.

We are still fine-tuning a few things and there might be some changes here and there. Once the patch has settled in we need your help to spread the word so it can live up to it's internal working title - "Revival".

1. Levels & XP

The required XP to level up will be considerably lowered. Less grind for new players, more options for old ones. You will keep your current XP and your level is adapted accordingly. If you have a retirement title it will be grandfathered. Every character gets a free respec without penalty.

2. Items and game mechanics

The arrival of new members to our team has allowed us to compose a long list of feature updates, balance improvements, implementation of some 40+ new items and roughly 30 mesh and texture improvements. All marketplace offers will be removed when the patch arrives.
  • Aggressively improved balance of mounted ranged mechanics.
  • Improved horse balance to better reflect the survivability–offensive capabilities trade-off.
  • Several tweaks to the wpf and weight penalties have been made to better establish balance between Strength and Agility builds.
  • Reduced damage values for bows and throwing weapons to maintain current effectiveness with increased levels.
  • Raised difficulties for weapons at risk of being abused with large stacks of Agility and Weapon Master. More improvements can be expected on this subject in the future.
  • Adjusted frames in the polearm overhead and right-to-left swing animations to minimize "insta-hitting."

3. Respec

The respec will become a lot less restrictive, allowing players to change their builds more often.
  • Penalty lowered to 20%.
  • A free respec without penalty once every 7 days (subject to change).
  • The free respec cannot be used on your current strategus hero.


4. New players

One goal was to make it easier for new players to catch up to us oldies. They should not have to become no-life-grinders to kick our +3 asses.
  • The first character of a new player will receive a "starter kit" (exact content TBD).
  • New characters will now generally start at level 25.
  • On retirement you will still start at level 1, but your peasant life will be drastically shorter.

5. STF

The level for STF will be increased to 35 and they will not come with 10k gold anymore. This allows us to lift the various restrictions we had to put in place for them to avoid abuses.


6. Auctions

The "Training Lesson" auction will show up more frequently and it can still be used to respec any character without penalty (e.g., your current strategus hero). The "Blacksmith Services" auction will be replaced by an immediate action you can execute anytime on one of your masterwork items, giving you 2 LP.


7. When

Very soon.

General Discussion / Explained: claim leadership and new clan armoury
« on: March 19, 2013, 02:38:30 am »
Claim leadership

If all clan leaders are inactive since 5 14 days or more a member can claim leadership. The current leaders will have 3 7 days to appeal against it otherwise the claiming member will become the only leader. It is also possible for a leader to claim sole leadership if the other leaders became inactive.



Armoury

The new armoury system allows all members to borrow the items themselves from the armoury without having to wait for an armourer (=rank 9+) to assign them the items. The armourer can assign an optional daily fee for each item which can be shared with the item owner.

  • Overview: you can see your borrowed and lent items on this page as well as add new items to the armoury.
  • Items: list of all items in the armoury with the possiblity to borrow them.
  • Manage: the armourer can assign daily fees and return items to the armoury/owner.

An item can be only borrowed if it has a daily fee set (0 works too). If you had items in your armoury before: they were imported without a fee and you have to set it manually for all of them, sorry for that. To minimize the ongoing work you can setup a default fee.



Feedback welcome, especially on the armoury and how you used it before / how you would like to use it. The way the armoury works now is how i originally planned it, but because of time constraints the rental system never made it into the first version (it was intended to be used for the marketplace too, this here is now a slimmed down version just for clans).

Announcements / New logo contest
« on: September 16, 2012, 06:58:20 pm »
Yet another contest! We are looking for something fancier than the basic logo/lettering we have now. It would be good if the logo works plain-colored too like the current one so we can put it on the flag background again. When displayed ingame and or in the new promotion video it can have additional effects like that chrome look we have now.

Deadline: End of September 2012
Reward: 1 of those precious points

Announcements / New promotion video contest
« on: September 12, 2012, 04:26:09 pm »
Maybe you already noticed our new landing page which features quite an old video (almost 2 years old!). Therefore we will run a little contest in the hope one of you guys can come up with something up-to-date. We will let the community vote on the best entry (though we will have the final say), reward will be in the form of heirloom point(s) (the more epic the more points!).

Not sure about the deadline yet since i've no idea how much time that takes or how many are actually interested and capable to come up with something decent.

We might be also interested in a small series of short videos explaining the basics for new players to get started. But that depends if some of you guys would be interested in doing that.

General Discussion / Duel ranking/points feedback
« on: August 05, 2012, 10:29:33 pm »
I would like to hear what you guys think about the duel ranking/points so far. It's only been live since a few days but i want to get some early feedback in case it needs some major changes (which might require a point reset). I'm interested in things like if it is too sensitive, points given per duel or how easy/difficult it is to maintain a top ranking (my first-hand experience is limited to the 150-200 points range, 200+ only if i got lucky for a few duels in a row).

Announcements / Expiring exclusive banners
« on: June 28, 2012, 05:28:17 pm »
When we added the exclusive banners we made the mistake to increase the auction rate for the first few days so people could get them quicker. The default interval is a new banner auction every ~4 hours to distribute them evenly across a month. We are running out of time now and if your banner is expiring in the next days you might lose it/auction for your slot not showing up (though you can bid on another banner slot to renew your own, doesn't have to be the same).

Hotfix for the auction cancellation: because it was not possible when auctions were first released all existing auctions were moved back 3 days and you can cancel them without paying the fee if you want to.

Workaround for the deposited money: if you are not the highest bidder you can increase your maximum bid by 1 and you will get your money back (unless you become the highest bidder).

This userscript restructures the cRPG character creation page and presents it in a user-friendlier way. If you find any problems please report them so i can look into it. Feature requests and ideas are welcome too.

IMPORTANT: the script modifies the html code of the crpg website, but should not cause any problems. But to be on the safe side you can disable the script when you do crucial changes on your high-level chars. For low-level chars i would appreciate it if you leave the script enabled and report any problems.

See first post for install instructions.

Latest update (Mar 17th, v7.6):
+ Fixed: crash caused by new credits link (by Chort).
+ Fixed: requirement filter ("hide items i can not use") working again (by Chort).
+ New: when buying, selling or repairing an item open the same page again (by Chort).
