I was told the payout was 400k, WHICH I expect to be reimbursed with given that I was so idiotically fired by the mayor! WITH NO WARNING!

I mean the nerve of that man! After all I've done for Praven he just turns around and says "I don't think we need siege equipment"... ITS A FUCKING SIEGE YOU MORON OF COURSE YOU NEED SIEGE EQUIPMENT!

Also if you have never done a large siege (was it yoU! did YOU STEAL MY SPOT AT THE TABLE! I'lL KEEL U!) you get paid out in ticks. The ticks were about 20k each.

Make sure you check your char page if you haven't already for a difference in XP.

Cheers,
Frank

PS I KEEL U!

Yeah during the battle it was saying you gained so and so and I saw my bar filling up, in char page none of it has shown up plus the battle isn't listed in my participated page.

I'll give it some time I guess.

I'm curious what you need to do to be hired for a neutral faction, this battle marks the second time my application has gone un-accepted.

I don't have any "stats" yet, I'm assuming I haven't been signed up long enough/participated in enough battles to get a rating, but I noticed other people were hired who lacked info.


No I've not requested any payment.

(Sorry if posting in this thread is not the right move, it seems applicable to me  :P)

Pretty sure it goes by:
So better show up and be level 30/31 for those big battles. A low level character isn't much use in a Strategus battle anyway.

Yeah but going from 1 to 18 sure would be a lot fast if you stood on a wall and scythe at people.

400k chaching.

A lot people signed up for this one. I was in the last 2 or 3 Praven defences and it snubbed me on this one. I've got shit hot reliability but my performance isn't that great, more deaths than kills. With my kind of ping its almost inevitable. I have to make sure I stay at the back in support.

sounds like me. I got decent reliabilty and less than decent performance.

I actually didn't think we could do this without capturing all the defender flags, but looks like I was wrong. Very fun siege!
Title: Re: Praven
Post by: FRANK_THE_TANK on January 30, 2012, 02:22:10 am
Yeah it was a good one.

I think 2 things were missing from the defence.

Good leadership/hive mind. And ping.

Anders mentioned to me while we were playing that 6 of the attackers had over 100 ping. Where as on the defender side about 5 had under most had over 100 and a third had over 200 and I had 400.

There was an LLJK guys with -6 or 8 kills and 30 deaths :/

I ruined my score though I had 5 kills and tried to rush the base but all I manged to do was wreck 2 ladders and the equipment rack.

But I do not want to detract from the Greys win, they did a great job and the way they moved up and set up a spawn so they kept hitting that end of the wall was excellent and wound up working.

If you need a siege engineer any time soon Harpag send us a PM I would love to help.

Yeah, I think there were quite a few NA defending because of the battle time, whereas obviously the attackers were all EU and benefited from being on the right server. Every little bit counts, it was a close battle.

I think you're exaggerating just a bit :P

I went 2 and 21, the worst of the LLJK bunch.  Considering all of the times OUR OWN TEAM knocked me off the walls and blackbarred me after knocking somebody down, I actually did pretty well.

So.. take that as a learning experience.  When an opponent falls to the ground, don't charge through everyone side-swinging trying to get the kill.

When you're playing defense, holding the line and working as a team is more important than trying to get the best KDR.


Grats Greys, you came well organized and equipped.  Don't chalk the victory up to simply having Americans on defense.  Well played!

Hey guys,

At the beginning I want to thank you for the congratulations and great defense. Once upon a time I don't had so much fun.

Despite the fact that we play this game for many months, the whole time we all learning how to play this. It is not easy. Public servers CRPG, unfortunately do not learn us how to play as a team. Everyone sees what it looks like - a comment is superfluous. I have a concern that one last patch even worsened the situation. Therefore it is cool to play Strategus and trying be getting better.

If we want more cool battles, we should:
- Make more big factions (not 1k small clans (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/board,7.0.html 22 sites  :rolleyes: ) - because small clan is unable to produce a large army - non stop someone has to be offline - real life is more important) and attract to strategus
- Attract more random players (I do not understand why they are not bored of playing alone all the time)
- Changing our attitude towards other people (hate is hopelessly stupid - spoils the atmosphere, generates GTXers)
- Forget about the individual K:D ratio - just think about teamwork - it will give you more joy
- Force the developers to faster debugging
- Make better coordinate cooperation by allies
- Set a far-reaching plans
- Be patient (the game is slow, but it's good because you can not neglect work and family responsibilities)
- Put more effort into systematic micromanagment

Do not be frustrated by the result of yesterday's battles - on the side of the attackers were involved with very experienced players (in my opinion) with some of the best clans, as Drzuzhina, Nords, STR (The Union) and many other good EU players. We (Grey Order) also all the time working to improve the quality of our teamwork. For perfection is still a long way, but we will try to be better. We have already learned weak points of defense, therefore you have been defeated. You were great yesterday, and to the end I was not sure if we can get this hellish city.

See you on the next battle!

Harpag - Lord of Praven  :wink:

PS. Frank - I do not buy your excuses about formatting PC - give us this movie  :P

Why? Because you want it? And you - from what you're clan? Secret? How many active players? How many villages? Do you have friends? Are you doing something more than spaming on the forum? Would you like battles? When will be battle between us and Druzhina, it would be there any (no) place for you, so please no excitement. I'm trying to be open for the community, but people like you did not help. Happy?
You have no idea what about are you talking. Do something constructive.

Whats with all the rage Harpag? It was just a suggestion and im not asking for any of your super secret, really important clan secrets. Im in a small clan with few members that cannot have a real impact on strategus. 2 of the biggest and most active clans in strategus are best buddies, which makes for a very boring experience for everyone. I know Grey and DRZ and best internet buddies but are you not even a tiny bit interested in a bit of friendly competition? Are you not interested in seeing who would win?

Why? that would detract from their "WE CAN CONQUER NA" threat. Bah, it's boring, not many clans left(on either side) that want to fight.

Check out this suggestion (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,25020.0.html).  I think it would accomplish your wishes without forcing any clans to ruin their relations, equipment, army, etc. :P

It is something I feel we sorely need.  Heck there are no basically no "real" strat battles going on in the next 24 hours.

Mode like that where a mercenary could get work on a more level playing field would do wonders to keep our players, I feel.


The rest of what you said and in your other posts.. well, hello, anyway.  :)

Guys, let me ask the question directly. Can we expect the competition? Can you organize a counterweight? I hope so. We look forward for your move. Maybe this time you give us a chance to see how it is to fight on the side of defenders. I think that many clans EU wants to give you support. We look forward to next signal from your side. This was a good  :wink:

I agree with all these points.  There's lots of suggestion threads on how to improve the game but while that ultimately comes down to the developers vision, the attitude players take toward the game is important too. 

Speaking of making more big factions, I thought TiberiusX made a good suggestion about having properties within fiefs for small clans.  That way big clans could fight over who owns the map and smaller clans could stay in their fiefs and fight/work for them kind of like vassals.  If your clan isn't active enough or big enough to compete at the top level, if you're able to adjust your expectations you could still have a place in the game.  So instead of increasing the size of the map, this would give it layers.  Plus with more people working together there might be more gold for better equipment, bigger battles and it would create the structure for a feudal system to develop:
