Title: No ranged server
Post by: Torp on January 20, 2011, 08:43:15 pm
currently eu_2 is a no-ranged server, and people just love it.
I don't know if this is intentional or a bug, bug i think, that we should have a permanent non-ranged server, just because it's awesome.

thx

Most people still play on EU1 (it's just as populated as before) and less than 50 people play on EU2, those who are tired of the ranged spam. This way everyone can have fun, why take it away?

Because some people enjoy playing the real game on the smaller server. I dont like the massive clusterfucks of eu4 or even eu1, small squad based fights on eu2 are always fun. But without ranged, the ususal "LOLONLY2HAND IS SKILL"-brigade charges around with overheads, fearing nothing.

but then you will ahve less players on crpg 1 or 4 so you can play the way you want.

Also the NA servers are great with small battles

If the meele guys should get an non Ranged server the Archers have the right for an only ranged server or i am false with same rights for everyone!

All ranged server is fine too, as long as melee gets a melee only server.  Archers/throwers/xbows and cav can play there, while the melee guys have fun on their server.

Well, the new patch was supposed to fix ranged spam, but it just shifted it. Since there is still alot of ranged spam, Melee Monday will still be happening. I didn't do it last monday cause the patch came out.

this game is getting less and less fun.....  well if we divide, maybe lets make only chainmail server, only plate server, only hammer servers and only pitch fork servers??? oh, and male and females servers too.

 Just stop be childish and start using some cover if u 2h, if u 1h with a shield and u cant avoid being shoot then u just sux.... I got 4 points into shields and I dont get many shoots rly, if u just look carefully aorund and spot archers before they shoot so I know which direction I should face my sheild to, if u do that u should be fine... honestly it isnt any sort of blakc magic just to find a cover and watch battlefield more carefuly

No you won't. You can see it today, less then 50 player playing EU2, while EU1 is permanently full and EU4 got less crowded only like half an hour ago, otherwise 90+ ppl too. I for one always enjoyed EU2 because it was less populated server, just as Leiknir said, and I'm looking forward to when it gets fixed.

If there is melee only day then ban cavalry, too.
The idea of having a server where you fight uninterrupted is totally spoiled by having someone bump you from behind and run away from every fight. Even at end of round until people get bored enough to suicide on their lances.
With archers they'd at least get shot down.

Yes. Melee only - mean melle only.
Only - means only.
No cavalry, airplanes and tactical nukes. Cold steel and brave hearts only. Shield to shield, eyes to eyes, blade to blade.

You cant stop childish dreams if the majority have some!
Think about :Nerf archers plz!
Its sad that most players want a quick succsess and cry becaus they dont get it. After that fail they go and claim nerf.
Dont you claim fairness or ballance, these infantiles dont want it, they want a quick sucsess with no skill  :mrgreen:

I haven't been shouting about nerfing archers or anything like that, i've accepted things as they are.
But after my time on the melee only server, i've heard hundreds of positive comments about it, and as it wouldn't affect the archers, who could go to another server, i think that it should be permanent.

Jup, sounds like the perfect habitate for skilless 2-hand spammers.

You are missing the point here: cav is still able to kill him from behind in a heartbeat without giving him warning, and people like him just can't deal with shit like that. I mean, ranged and cav dare to kill him just like that?!?  :mad: :mad: :mad:



But seriously: this game attracts the most fucked up spergs of them all as this thread shows    :o :shock::lol::shock:

If you take ranged out of the game, you should take cavalry too. All over the forum people talk about rock/paper/scissor balance. Well, if you take scissors out of the equation, paper will obviously be dominant. And it is so on melee only server. Everyone is forced to grab a pike, the awesome intense melee fights you so dream of are now poking games, where everyone is forced to turn around every couple of seconds to check if some cavalry is not coming at him. You can't really dehorse anyone mounted unless he's reckless or just stupid and runs into your pike, and eventually when you're forced to actually fight someone, the moment you sheathe your pike, the cav is there to backstab you..
It's not as much fun (for you anyways, I, as well as majority of people, based on server population, still enjoy regular server more) as it would be if there was no horses.
Title: Re: No ranged server
Post by: Ganon on January 21, 2011, 03:41:53 pm
I can still have fun if there's cavalry, it's alot less fun if it's full of ranged sniper rifle guys oneshotting everything (i know a newly created thrower or archer can't do that, but later on, they do).

Also on the manly part (from the other thread)well.. it was just a joke implying that people who are afraid to get close and personal and fight in melee are pussies. It's a really old joke, almost as old as the internet itself. This makes eu2 the manly server.
Title: Re: No ranged server
Post by: Nemeth on January 21, 2011, 03:55:48 pm
I don't want to get into the whole "one shotting everyone", so I'll just ignore it. But tell me a single reason why cavalry should not be disabled together with ranged? How are cavalrists the real men? They won't charge you if you face them, cause you can dehorse them easily (just as you can easily kill ranged if you get close to them), but the second you turn their back to them, you have a lance targeting you. With no ranged, it depends entirely up to them when they engage and when they don't and you can't do anything about it. You can wave around with your pike, but if they don't come close enough, that's all you can do. And once you're engaged in a melee fight, they just kill you.

Funny how all the bad players in this game cry about ranged. Ranged attacks are apart of the game just as much as melee or cav is. Not to mention Archer's speed being nerfed already.

Most of the time it takes 3-4 shots to down an average target already with a bow. So factor that into the already slowwwwwww draw speed of bows now and you have a pretty weak class yet people continue to complain. You rarely see ranged ever even topping the scoreboards on any server, anyone who says different is an obvious liar.

Honestly ranged is what I would consider one of the easiest classes to counter especially since most ranged players are not very "talented" when it comes to aiming and ranging with their weapon.

However, people just can't seem to accept that their class may have a weakness to someone elses playstyle, you can't be an unstoppable force all the time able to take on every single person in the game. Sometimes you're going to lose, accept it or move on to a different game.

So I say play the game for what it is, the way it was made to be played meaning melee, ranged, and mounted playstyles all in one or just GTFO and cry about it somewhere else where someone cares. Quit sitting here in the forums complaining about the same BS over and over again.

Cav have to get close to kill people, so if you're aware, you can kill them.

Archers can just stay 200 ft away and spam arrows - not the same.

second, you can kill cav without pikes, i can even take down cav with my katana

i don't know if you have noticed, but i havent complained about ranged one single time - as you say, it is a part of the game.

I would just like to be able to take a break from the ranged spamming once in a while and do some pure melee. And so does many other people.

that's the only real argument i have heard yet, and i agree with you, but the happiness from the melee only server would make up for the extra ranged on other servers IMO.

But the ranged only server mgiht give os less total ranged as fewer people would do hybrid builds, cause they can just go pure 2H and play on the melee only server.

On the real men server, they still charge! They will try to get the timing right to kill you and you need to do the same, the better one wins. I don't use horses but it seems a fair fight.

Now about the server 1 becoming an archer's nest, it would be the same even without a melee server.

No. You just need to think about it. A no range server would be like team deathmatch or something. If there's no range, it takes away from the gameplay, and it'd become like a leech server.

Server 2 was no ranged last night. EU_cRPG_2

My horse archery was hurt as a dude with a german/danish sword lolstab can easily hit a charging horseman befoe he gets hit... with light cavalry that means you kill the horse in 1 blow, then proceed to 2 hit whoever in on the ground.

Cav have to get close to kill people, so if you're aware, you can kill them.

Archers can just stay 200 ft away and spam arrows - not the same.

As I said, with no ranged, cavalry is the one who picks when to engage. No matter how aware you are, if you're in fight with someone else, you can't always defend yourself from both the lance and an attack coming from your opponent. Not to mention bumping.

first of all, just because you don't have fun on melee only, it doesnt mean that we don't have fun, everyone i talk to love it.

second, you can kill cav without pikes, i can even take down cav with my katana

Well of course if your "everyone" is everyone who plays on melee server. I'm pretty sure if I go the EU1, 100+ people will tell me they love a regular server. Your point?
And hell, I can kill cavalry with my 1h with no shield, again, your point? I don't think you understand that the advantage of choosing when to engage is the single most powerful thing cavalry gains by disabling ranged. And if you truly don't understand that, there is no point in trying to convince you otherwise.

Imo that's a bad idea, if no-range servers appears, other regular servers will just transform into some overcrowded archer's nest.

I'm pretty sure that won't happen. EU1 is constantly full. I play there and I can tell you that there is no lack of melee. Just because you don't have the balls to go against ranged doesnt mean everyone else doesn't.

I have to agree, an archer-free server is just a leaching serv. I am an archer and if you get your melee and cav only serv, i want my archer and 2 handed serv only.

1. if you're in a fight with someone else you also have trouble defending yourself against a footman coming from behind - the only difference is that cav is faster but they can only do one hit before they're gone. Yes, they can come again, but you will be aware of them, and they have lost their momentum, which, as you said, is everything.

2. If people on melee server are happy and people on the regular servers are happy, then what's the problem with a melee only server?

3. You said that everyone had to take out pikes, i said they dont need that to kill cav, you agreed with me, discussion over.

1. Yes, if they come from behind. Cavalry doesnt have to come from behind. And if you're aware, you wont be surprised by any footman coming from behind. If you see one, you reposition yourself and that's it. It takes a while for a footman to get to your back when you reposition yourself so you both see them on one screen. And with proper footwork, you can keep them in your sight prety much all the time. Can you say that about cavalry as well? Also, what keeps cav from turning around once they're just out of your reach and charge you again? And you can be aware of them all you want, once they come you either have to block their lance (and smart cavalrist will just bump you when they see you blocking, which pretty much always nets a kill for your opponent), or die. And I never said momentum is everything for them, you really don't need a lot of speed to one hit kill someone with a lance.

2. I guess the problem right now is that the majority of people, the ones that enjoy playing the game properly, have now one server less, the one thas was always less populated than EU1, thus for many ppl more enjoyable. Also, if you create a melee-only server, there will soon be demands to create other X-only servers for another minorities of people that doesnt like something in the actual game. You can see how ridiculous that would be.

3. Fair enough, still pike is the best anti-cav weapon and thus is most used.

it seems like we're almost coming to an agreement xD

1. yes, cav is better than footmen, but IMO that makes the game mroe fun, at least cav has to get close so you ahve a chance to kill them.

2. i agree that it would be ridiculous to have too many x-only servers, but i dont think that would happen, s it would probably bore many people to do ranged vs ranged and stuff like that. And think that the amount of people liking the melee only makes up for the 1 less server.

3. yes

1. Well yeah, the question is then, why to disable ranged? Without ranged, cavalry is everything ranged was, with the exception that they have to come to you to inflict damage (much greater than any ranged weapon). It's harder to dodge cavalry charges and they're far more deadly.
The only logical explenation would be that you're just too lazy to take the walk to the archers/throwers/whatever to actually kill them. Even though you only have to move to dodge an arrow/bolt/dart/whatever. I don't really see any other reason.
And honestly, I find far more annoying the cavalry on EU2 atm, then I have every found annyoing ranged before. And from the reactions of ppl in game, I am not the only one.

2. Maybe, but you never know. No doubt people would demand it and you couldn't really blame them. But honestly I don't care about melee only server as long as it doesn't interfere with normal servers, which now the one that exists does.

you get just as much exp on a regular server as on a melee only server, so i cant see how it's a leech server? please explain it to me

There wouldn't be circumstances in where ranged would've won a round, etc.

no, but you would still win half the rounds, which will allow you to have multipleir half the time, which is exactly the same as in regulr battles.

100 hours of playing would give you the same amount of exp on both servers

and melee can easily kill archers in melee

If you don't like archers, make a shield character or learn to use the map to minimize your exposure to ranged weapons. Remove archers and there will be a huge increase in 2h/pole characters.  No one type of character build should be able to kill everything, having varied weaknesses are what give a game more depth.

omg, stop with the myth.  Archers unless built like shit, have no weakness in melee.   :rolleyes:

So if an archer puts points into melee they are better at melee, I agree.

If a 2h/pole puts points into shield or ranged they are better at range. 

I don't see the difference here, except melee people just get all bent out of shape when an archer kills them because they can't immediately strike back.

The no ranged server is the duel server really.  Anyways...
I don't see the difference here, except melee people just get all bent out of shape when an archer kills them because they can't immediately strike back.
Mostly it's because of that whole 2her elitism thing "HURR WE R TEH MOSTEST SKEELD" etc.  However I can see the point that people make about there being a billion FPS games out there for your ranged fapping fixation needs, and only this with good melee combat.  So I can understand the desire for a melee only server where you can enjoy the best part of the game and not worry about someone playing CS while you're playing M&B.  *Yes, I have an archer.  It's FPS ez-mode in comparison to melee, but I still enjoy having all the different units on the battlefield.*

I would give you a troll point for this, but I already did that today, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow.
