Retirement is back. Level 31 with heirloom and gen increase, level 15-30 without.
Also, you cannot/don't have to change the name any more.
The Database was freed of the old retired chars, and to celebrate this, you can now revert to your original name. For about 7 days, you are free to change your name to whatever you want.
Then it's clan tag / typo change only again.
-
so when you say you cannot/don't have to change the name anymore...
does that mean you don't have to make a new char when you retire and keep the same one?
or am I just retarded.

I'm sorry, but it's not exactly clear for me: 7 days from NOW, or 7 days from each retirement? I kinda like the generation numbering, does your post mean it's out of the picture now, or just not mandatory?
-
Does retirement only require level now ? (as in, it no longer needs 1 week ? )
Does retiring before 31 still give the generation xp boost ? If yes and if a character no longer has to be 1 week old to retire, we could be seeing gen 20 players in a matter of days.
-
Can we get a one time respec since those changes where massive and many have really messed up chars? Would be really nice, considering how long it takes a casual player to get to a higher level still

Agreed, I enjoyed the ability to alter my name each time I acquired a respec.
-
As it seems retiring under lvl 31 means character reset, no xp, wpf or gold boni, no heirloomed item, no new generation, am I right?
-
Great I can have my name back!
Hate you!
-
Do you think setting this high limit is fair on the new players who play this game? Seeing as with such a high requirement they will never catch up to those who are genrations older then them also i started playing a week before the patch and was not able to retire in time before the patch launched even tho i had the gold and level requirement and feeding off of scraps of info based on new retirement i have not bothered to grind to 31 as was told hierlooms were to be at 30.
-
Don't be so concerned with everyone else. Just go at your own pace. I am gen 6, and there are still people almost 10 generations ahead of me. This fact does not dissuade me from playing in the slightest.
-
chadz, seriously? The grind to 31 is brutal. Make it worthwhile with heirlooms. Meanwhile, give everyone who isn't crazy enough to do that grind the opportunity to retire at 30 with just the XP bonus.
-
I personally don't mind the tough requirement for heirlooms, but not being able to respec after such massive changes without having the grind again would be bad. I really hope we get a one time respect without loosing our exp
-
We totally had that already, Dekiri.
Personally, I'm excited. Makes heirlooms something to look forward to.
-
how do you exactly change name without deleting your char, and also original name was forgivers and its not listed
guess i'm missing something out

u can retire with 15 without bonus and with 31 with bonus now
-
Yea braeden we had that, but the changes got changed again massivly thats why i ask. I had a dedicated cbowman and with the dmg changes and upkeep changes its ridiculous considering the long reload time you can now absolutly forget getting kills with the crossbow unless you are really lucky.
It basically messed up my char and it takes people like me weeks to get back to level 24
-
u can retire with 15 without bonus and with 31 with bonus now
true ... i can retire and loose all the exp i earned wich is the point i am trying to make.
-
hmm, when you said you wanted heirlooms to be something special i thought you would put it at lvl 35
-
how can we change the name now? ... i am lost...
-
People are pissed. Not me though I'm cool with it I just made a bunch of gen 1 chars

I believe it has something to do with "change your name to" button.

the one that delete your char ...

Think the grind from 30 to 31 should be 2 million not 4 or do what some one else said and stage retirement and have at 25 or 30 the ability to retire for the exp bonus alone.

For the not so smart THERE ARE TWO BUTTONS!
Namechange != Retirement

Thats like over half the player-base :rolleyes:
-
just to make sure as i'm also a little confused and half asleep, i used the change name button, Warning: name change pending, so this won't delete my character and i will keep all my items with the new name ??
-
Oh it will delete a character, the character you're changing the name to, as it has been since the name change was there.
-
Ok, some questions:
1, My char is gen 3 do I keep the exp bonus I gained from my pre-patch retirements? Or will I lose them if I retire now using the "without bonus" option.
2, Since I've retired twice, do I get to heirloom two items (or one item twice) now that heirlooms have reset?

Uhh that needs some very hard thinking...
1. Of course you loose all your bonus because you lost every bonus with every single retirement.
2. 2 retirements = 2 modifer, 2/3 = 0,66, rounded up = 1, So you get five items ten times heirloomed
Reading this explains the behaviour on the servers a lot. BRAAAINZZZ

if you choose retirement without bonus you keep your existing bonus..just did it

Thanks for the the clear reply. :)

If you choose Retirement Without Bonus you simply delete your character. Your heir is generation one and receives no equipment whatsoever. Just done it.

I think it's completely reasonable to ask for a very clear-cut document on exactly what retirement is and how it affects your character. I was drawn to cRPG about 2 1/2 weeks ago by a friend. I've enjoyed the game so far, but finding clear answers on certain subjects is nearly impossible. This thread is a perfect example. Players are left speculating about what may or may not happen. What's the issue with making a post containing exactly what retirement is? There shouldn't be any secrets here. A community this small can't afford the luxury of misinformation.

I was wondering if retiring this way links to the way people who retired pre-patch got to chose a certain number of new heirlooms depending on how many times they've retired already. So I had retired twice pre-patch and got to chose 1 new heirloom but someone who had retired say 10 times got to chose more.
So for example you retire 3 more times without any bonuses and on the 3rd retirement you get to chose a new heirloom?
Not sure if I explained myself very well there, but I hope someone will get what I mean :P
-
FAIL
So your sock puppet has already said, with no explanation why.
EDIT: Oh I get it - because I retire and keep the same name - but what if I want a new character with a new name? Is that allowed?
-
So i did the name change, but now I can sign in with both my old name and new name and they both have the same stats and items. BUT i cannot access the chars in game.
PLEASE HELP ME.
edit*: now my old char is gone, but i cannot use my new char in game, although it shows up fine on .net
It was the gender switching bug. Please fix this.
-
Also, you cannot/don't have to change the name any more.
I think people were thrown off by this statement. chadz meant that when you retire you don't have to change your name to make a new guy but you will still have the option. They are changing the retirement naming from pre-patch (i.e. start at "name" retire to "name_I" to "name_II") so you can retire with character "name" to character "name" without any problems.
Please correct me if I am wrong
You can't change your name like you used to per retirement. Take advantage of chadz's deal to change character names within the next 7 days now!

That's bullshit, I did it this morning after it was released and your xp is reseted to 0, nothing else changes. You are still the same generation as before, keep all your stuff and gold.
-
Cool to see heirlooming back up, sucks you cannot change your name though. I kind of liked that feature maybe make it an option to change your name if you heirloom with the bonus?

You can always pay 1000g and apply for a namechange.
-
So I'm still a little lost. What does a modifier do? Is there anyway I can see what my items will be like after I add the modifier BEFORE I commit to it?
-
DAMNIT chadz! You freaking changed the Elegant Poleaxe. I had a tempered that was 94 speed, no is a heavy of 90 speed! If I wanted a slow ass weapon I would've used a bardiche. Now I wasted my only modifier.
There was absolutely no way for me to know about the change ahead of time.
-
so how it works now ...
is up2date ruleset / guide on this which is nto full of 'speculation' guesses ?

For about 7 days, you are free to change your name to whatever you want.
*Grins in appreciation* :)

So which one is right?

Only for clan tags though later on.

What is the difference between retiring without the bonus and retiring with the bonus?
-
I think, for the future, complete name changes will be allowed 24h after a retirement. Need to code a notification for the admin team first, though.
Also, something that caused confusion:
You are bound to the gender with which you joined the game first. If you then change gender, you spawn naked, just like when joining with another players nick.
When retiring, you are able to select a new gender if wanted, but only the first time you join after the retirement, then it's carved in stone again.

Sexism? Don't join a NA Server you get banned for this!

C'mon, krampe, these are just health & safety precautions :D NA guys love that stuff. Multiple gender changes may cause numerous health problems, including inability to... spawn with eq. But you can do it if you want, so np. :mrgreen:

Does retiring at level 15 give you an xp bonus or not?
-
not
-

No.
It is most useful for new people who fuck their stats up and want to restart without losing all the items they bought.
-
Could someone in the know post a noob's step by step guide to retirement as a sticky?
I've never retired, under the old system or the new and I don't wish to mess it up.
-
Is the soft cap going to be changed to 31 instead of 30? Leveling from 30 to 31 is as much xp as leveling from 1-30 all over again. :?
-
Indeed Softcap should be 31 as it makes your character stats equals by the 3's IE staying at level 30 offsets stats like 21 - 14 and such.

Only if you don't convert any skill points to attribute points.
-
30>31 takes way too long imo, should make it a bit shorter if you ask me.
-
Retirement taking much longer now is the whole point.
-
It would be nice if at lvl 30 you had a choice of heirloom or xp/gold bonus and at lvl 31 it was both.
30-31 means about 4.5million xp(atleast for me), thats like two weeks of playing. Lvl 31 is juct a bit much and once im there im not sure that i will want to retire for a petty +1 and a little extra xp. This should seriously be reveiwed.

You don't HAVE to retire. Retirement bonus is there as a tiny reward/incentive for those who WANT to grind beyond the normal player. You'd be perfectly fine playing the game from generation 1 and never retiring, ever.
So you get to level 31 and don't want to retire and do it all over again? NO PROBLEM. DON'T.

Anybody know if this has been implemented now? I'd quite like to change the names of some of my alts.

can u still do random namechanges?

Try it?

Try it?
What if it don't work ? I should grind for lvl 31 and retire ? :rolleyes:
-
Ive been trying to get my name changed since the new patch, but never got the option? Thought I was out of gold, but that wasn't it....
Do you have to change the name during a retire? Because I tried retiring to the character name I wanted (the old way), but it didn't work, and then name change didnt work.
??????????????

Steps:
1) Create another character in-game and name it w/e you want to change your name to.
*NOTE: Don't delete your the character with the old name just in case you still want to be playing during the time the name change is PENDING.
2) Join a cRPG server with character that has the new name.
3) Navigate to your character creation page (c-rpg.net).
4) Scroll down until you notice "Change your name to:" w/ a drop-down box next to it.
*NOTE: For those with the cool-looking character creation page (EYE-CANDY), navigate to the "Settings" tab at the top.
5) Click the drop-down box and click on the name of the character you created for the name change and click the "Change your name to:" box.
The drop-down box changes to something along the lines of name change pending. You should have your new name in within an hour to a few days, depending on if an admin is on at that moment. Once your name has been changed, you can no longer login with the old name and have to login with that new name from then on, or until you decide to change the name again.
-
And an important Note:
Namechanges are only allowed for either fixing typos or adding / changing clantags.
It should usually happen in 5-24 hours. Whining about it not being
fast enough extends it to a week. Thanks for taking notice.
Also, it costs 1000 gold to apply for a namechange.
