General Off Topic / I am back, kinda

I will try to keep this civil. Hopefully others will too.

I haven't played c-rpg over a month. I was using that period to contemplate whether I actually wanted to come back. I decided I will, and this game's still worth and effort, so this is why we have this thread.

The mods of this community have tried to keep at least the pretences of being "neutral enforces of the written rules". Random bans and random actions are punished and, heck, a leak from the mod channel in IRC caused a whole witch hunt. Admins (who get selected by mods directly) are also expected to not ban randomly.

For this reason, we supported this developer team with our money. Because we believe you guys are professionally.

However, Shik doesn't really feel like following these rules, apparently. In case you missed the drama, the quick links to it are here

http://forum.meleegaming.com/global/irc-unban/

For the lazy ones:

BADPLAYER had made a ban request for racism then proceeded to make some statements that are, objectively, racist. I called him on his shit which resulted me in getting perma-banned in IRC. When I asked to be unbanned, he went into a full-on racist tirante. He never got banned from IRC.

Shik is Chinese. So is BADPLAYER. Most people say he is "trolling". I don't give a fuck if they are "trolling" or not because this stopped being funny a while back. BADPLAYER has been permabanned in the past for very serious offences and Shik bailed him out because he is his buddy. He goes on to break rules, he doesn't get banned because Shik's his buddy. He then proceeds to ban everybody that calls BADPLAYER on his shit.

I want to return to this game, but I can't if I know such mod abuse exists. It is simply not worth my time.

edit: I should mention it isn't just Shik. I tried to speak to other mods to solve this in a civil way, but they just decided to "ignore it and it will go away"

edit2: fixed title for clarity

Strategus General Discussion / Discussion in regards to delaying and strategus
« on: March 25, 2013, 08:53:31 am »
Hello, recently there has been quite a confusion in regards to what delaying is in strategus or even if there is delaying in strategus.

There seem to be 3 schools of thought on the matter:

-Both teams are supposed to fight and keep fighting throughout the battle. If you stop, that means you are delaying/griefing. Even if you intend to do stuff like set up healing tents and forward spawns you must at least try to attack a bit.

-Tactics that do take time are okey, but once combat starts it should go at reasonable pace. So, waiting until you team set up a forward base is okey but then you should start attacking.

-Finally, the "there is no delaying in a strategus battle where time is very important". Basically, if a defender managed to find a non-glitched spot and camp it for 30 minutes while he is the last man of the team and the enemy team has no means to reach him, it is the other team's damn fault.

So, which one do you think is a more correct approach? Remember, this is a discussion about rules. YOU personally might prefer attacking, but that doesn't mean that everyone should be forced to do that same necessarily. If you do think so, however, please do lay your arguements.

Game Balance Discussion / The maul change is retarded
« on: March 11, 2013, 11:35:08 am »
(click to show/hide)

Before you -1, please read the arguments.

I am a long time maul user. I have used all mauls, mostly the great mauls, but also other mauls.

The change itself is this: before you overhead, you have to hold the attack for a second to allow a crushthrough. Else it will just bounce off. For every second you keep holding the maul, the damage you do is reduced (thus the chance of CT is also reduced). The initial damage was upped supposedly (but not sure by how much) compared to before the nerf.

Now, I am trying to figure out the reasoning behind this change. From asking around, I found a veeeeery disturbing mentality that says that mauls are group weapons and nothing more. The change in the maul seems to stem from this mentality. It completely kills any 1v1 capabilities the mauls had while leaving them as very slow, shorter, bar maces. On the other hand, in group fights where 1 second isn't as huge, mauls are not affected or even buffed-ish (due to the damage increase).

Great mauls are less affected due to weight, but mallets and peasant mauls (yes, there are people who actually use them) are absolutely devastated by this. This change completely killed 2 fun weapons. Great mauls are already far superior to mauls and mallets in group fights and their strength stemmed from their speed. Sure, you got the occasional bounce but now you can CT maybe one out of 10 overheads. GM suddenly became better both in 1v1 and group fights so gg any maul variety, welcome all maulers switching to great mauls.

That this change will kill variety and will cause everyone to switch to great mauls should be enough for you to oppose this change. However, the worst effect is that it changes our class (and mauler is a class) to something we didn't sign up for: support. I don't want to be yet another support for 2h heroes to shine. This idiotic and disturbing mentality is that only 2h is deserving of being able to duel. Why? Just give me one reason why that should be the case. If people like to duel with mauls, why not let them?

"But I don't like dueling against mauls, boooo". Then you can choose not to press F. I do it frequently.
"But mauls are OP in duels". That is silly. Mauls are very easy to outspam. If I get an overhead on you it means you did something wrong. Maul overhead is one of the slowest attacks in the game.

tl;dr: maul change kills mauler variety, makes great mauls the only viable maul weapon and degrades mauls to yet another 2h support weapon.

Please reverse this change for the sake of variety, fun and choice. Even if you don't like mauls, surely you wouldn't like a place full of great mauls?

General Discussion / Ok, how does the maul change work?
« on: March 10, 2013, 09:21:07 am »
I honestly have been trying to understand. I initially thought it was a timing thing. Just let the crushthrough charge for 0.5 secs, then release. But it STILL bounces off from blocks and shield.

Then I just went with a friend. I held the maul up for exactly 1 sec, released. It bounced off his shield 70% of the time.

Either this crap is bugged or something else is in play too. I have 27 strength, by the way.

NA (Official) / Ban request ICBC suicide running/leeching
« on: March 09, 2013, 05:09:01 am »
This guy would, every round, spawn and run into a straight line. If he got stuck he would just sit there until killed or if he run into an enemy, he just died, never tried to fight.

Tried to call admins multiple times, but nobody was  there, so here, ban request.

Diplomacy / The NA war needs a name
« on: March 07, 2013, 12:01:53 pm »
Right now every single major faction in NA, except of course Chaos, and most of the minor factions belongs to either side in this war.

And while some are not officially allied with the others, the enemies in both sides are common.

I predict lots more blood, before we liberate the desert this war ends one way or the other. Yet this war still has no name.

I hear suggestions. "The great NA war" seems to be the most frequent so far.

Also, somebody REALLY needs to make a nice picture of each side with borders so we know what is going on.

Diplomacy / Lost Legion are swines and unprofessional
« on: March 01, 2013, 05:07:42 am »
I have no problem with a nice war, regardless if we get roflstopmped or not *ahem*

However any decent leader needs to follow a code of contact.

LL attacked our fief without any form of provocation. We don't even border. They also never bothered to post any kind of declaration of war or give any explanation whatsoever for this aggression.

Tl;dr niggaz, u gay

Already discussed it on IRC a week ago or so, not sure why you are opening a new thread. Don't do it anymore or it will be considered spam.

And just as I said that, we finally got information on who the leaker was. The ban has been transferred to him, case closed.

I will cut my wrists if I don't uncover this.

Don't even fight it.

While a scandal is rocking the very foundations of NA admining, I have proof of further admin deviance.

[18:44] <reducted> You know you want it.


HERE YOU HAVE IT PEOPLE.

AND REMEMBER, IT HAS NUMBERS, THUS IT IS LEGIT.

General Discussion / Switching weapons mid duel
« on: February 13, 2013, 12:59:07 am »
Simple question, really, is it allowed?

I know in the past it wasn't, and I never saw it changing, so what gives?

I would really appreciate an answer from an admin. Having a debate with a guy on on NA3 about it.

edit: I obviously don't mean changing to similar weapons, like from longsword to scimitar, but eg, changing from sword to bow or from sword to maul.
