Title: Old cRPG was still better....
Post by: Black Wind on December 16, 2013, 03:02:11 am
This new-cRPG lacks oomf. Has no hilarious weapons, and the proficiencies are too slow.

Old c-RPG was better.

If I had to revive any old piece of equipment, black armor would be first, and LoC second. The Looney Tunes Axe would be ridiculously OP even if 4 slots.

I'm probably wrong on this but I believe Looney Toons Axe was like a Persian Battle Axe just with 182 length and it dealt 50 damage on swing while being super fast.

Boulder on a Stick lived up to its name. Giant stone on a stick which was awfully long and had crushtrough.

Also Arbalest was usable on horseback but you couldn't reload it. I would pick it up, shoot at enemy spawn, get free kill and proceed with melee cavalry activities.

Lance of Compensation was Smoothrich's favorite weapon, couching lance longer than Long Spear (which was called Pike back then and was longest spear in game). It was really hard to counter it because very few knew that you could chamber counched lance.

Shame you missed it mate, it was the golden age of cRPG :(

It was a golden age because it was about having fun, there was very little nerdy rages and people getting uber serious about a fucking game. Seeing videos like Cooties posted really sums up how far we have come, and I'm not happy with it on reflection, nostalgia is a bitch haha.

So glorious.

It was native on acid. lvl 42 characters with crazy hybrid builds (native singleplayer kinda stats)


Shields were strength based. Athletics was for my old friends and wpf could easily exceed 180 with almost any build. Scimitar had 105 reach or something and there was no upkeep. Im in tears.

The mechanics are overall better now I guess...but old CRPG was way, way, WAY more fun.

Being a peasant back then was actually tense and interesting instead of a 2 hour inconvenience.

You had heroes who could take down half a team by themselves.

You had xp barns and bridges.

You had archers with flamberges in their back pockets.

And best of all...LADDERPAULTING!!!

Sure it was unbalanced as fuck, but my God it was fun.

Stab weapons through the ground without bouncing. Attack next to walls all day without being stopped. Overhead straight through teammates without hitting them. Spin 180's while stabbing people. Spin 180 while overheading people with a pike (aka long spear) through teammates while next to a wall, sheathe it and switch to one of your other three weapons.

Being level 42. No color-coded chat log. No score, no valour. No banners on scoreboard. No banner-balance. No proper custom banners. No DTV/Rageball. No such thing as "crossbow spec" (at least, wpf didn't improve accuracy at all).  Vastly less armor choices. Less weapons. Heirlooms giving percentage-based bonuses. Everything people complain about being OP now was vastly better.  No official NA server.

Good riddance.

You forgot to mention that servers used to be full 24/7, at least on EU side. Natural Selection 2 is a wonderful game, much better after so many patches, shame no one play it these days despite keys being given at really low prices.

And we miss this why? Crossbow's should just be an infantry's ranged wep should he choose to bring one. For example when defending on siege someone might opt to bring one to shoot from the walls, but of course be slowed down by the extra weight and have less slots available. In real life they were made easy to use, so that they could be used by anyone, and weren't necessarily accurate (at least not like the snipers they are in this game.)
